Yakkay helmets and covers
What:
Yakkay helmets and covers
Where:
Uh, here, but c'mon maybe one of them will ship it to you.
How much:
Helmet and cover around AUD $181
Okay this really poops me off. We're one of the only countries in the world with compulsory bike helmets - not that some of us care, I concede - but it takes the Danish to come up with helmets camouflaged as jaunty riding hats. AND NO-ONE EVEN SELLS THEM HERE!
Hear this, potential stockists: get these Danes on the phone and you'll be waiting on a shipment more valuable than 200 kilos of Mexican Brown in a crate spray-painted by Banksy.
I would now like to segue to the tale of my friend Dougie, who works at a major news network, perhaps for childhood trauma reasons that will soon become apparent. When he was young, his parents - unsatisfied with the safety features of their Volvo - made all their children wear Stack Hats in the car. That's right! He was a total loser. So, if not for us - Australian retailers - then at least for Dougie, call the stockists number on the site.
The best style is the 'Paris' as it makes you look quite Famous Five go to pony club. Others include the Putin-esque 'Luzern', though it is not our luxury to pick and choose, evidently.

About
ThreeThousand is a subcultural guide to Melbourne, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Melbourne writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence ThreeThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
