In one of the first houses I shared in Bangkok, another occupant had bought a beautiful sheepskin Afghan coat during his own overland trip. Camels and goatsDuring that brief stay in England, the Afghan coat proved a good conversation opener. In the late '60s, any self-respecting pop star would be seen in an Afghan coat. And those who really wanted to make a statement would wander around the West End wearing an Afghan coat while walking their Afghan Hound after smoking Afghan hashish. Those nights, the pub was really heaving and the odd Afghan coat would even put in an appearance, but alas no Afghan Hounds.
