The bridge is a vintage-style string-through three-saddle unit, with brass barrel saddles.
Read our interview with Chief Hopper himself, David Harbour.Also sporting an alder Body, this old-school Tele comes with ‘50s-voiced single coils, a thick U-shaped neck, 21 vintage tall frets and a 7.25-inch radius maple fingerboard. Netflix, the necessary spinoff is in your hands now. …which is just part of his transition into becoming the great corduroy warrior. Like, this is the type of kid who leaves a scene wearing corduroy only to reappear in the next scene wearing new corduroy… If you don’t believe me, just take a closer look at that backpack. Wait, you didn’t think we were done with Lucas, did you? This kid is the fucking corduroy king! Because if you’re gonna do a quick B&E on a government facility, you gotta look your best. Oh yeah, now this is the good stuff-this is that fine “attempted murder corduroy.” Hop held out on this jacket for a while, but once shit started to get real he knew exactly where to go in his closet. More importantly, though, shout out to that guitar-toting extra really making the most of his big moment. OK, so I’m not 100 percent sure that Nancy is wearing cords here, but it totally looks like it and that’s good enough for me. The Wikipedia character description of Lucas describes him as “bold, independent, and charismatic.” Even if he never said a line in the show, I would still agree with that assessment based solely on his impeccable, corduroy-based sense of style. Welp, they do, and I’m going to assume that they came from whatever the ’80s equivalent of Old Navy was. I know, I know! You didn’t even know they made those! Me either.
See that? On Dustin, in the back? Those, y’all, are cargo corduroys. Could it also be a little bit of foreshadowing for the way the season ends? Yeah, probably not.
Speaking of corduroy on the collar… Like Jonathan, Mike only needs a touch for us to get the memo. Naturally, given Jonathan’s penchant for listening to Joy Division and taking backwoods photography, black is more his color, but that touch of corduroy in the collar is important! It’s like a little reminder that though he may be a little twisted, he’s still pretty chill. If I ever have to start my day by chain smoking inside the sheriff’s office for an hour, I want it to be in that thing. This is the lead piece of corduroy featured right off the bat, and man oh man, does it really set the bar high. Obviously we have to start with the show’s matriarch: Joyce Byers. SPOILER WARNING: In as much as stills of the characters standing around could spoil anything, the following does spoil some situations from the first season. You might want to put on some pants for this. Let us take a visual tour, then, of Hawkins, Indiana, circa 1983, and dive into the undeniably clear logic behind the corduroy within it. I went through each scene and spent far too much time looking at everything worn by every character-including the many outfits of that super fabulous monster-and the only ones who wear corduroy are the good guys (and gals). Taking a note from All the President’s Men and multiplying it by ten, you can actually trace a lineage of our protagonists in the show by keeping an eye out for it-and I’m really not exaggerating here. And better yet, that’s more cords for Malgosia Turzanska and Kimberly Adams-Galligan, the costume designers on Stranger Things, who have just shot themselves into the Wes Anderson dimension of fine corduroy usage with the impeccable period piece looks featured in the show’s first season. Sure, it can run hot, and sure, it can be bulky, but if you don’t like it, you’re wrong, and also, fine, that’s more cords for me. Wise words from a wise man, and just one example of many proving that corduroy is the chosen garment. Since there’s a relevant Silver Jews quote for everything, let us begin there: in “Black and Brown Blues,” the apostle David Berman states, “When I go downtown, I always wear a corduroy suit / ’cause it’s made of a hundred gutters that the rain can run right through.”
