Description
Workhorse Drovers Coat
It gets pulled on at a small platform stop along the West Highland Line, rain drifting in sideways and soaking everything that hesitates. The Workhorse Drovers Coat drops heavy and familiar, oilskin stiff at first, then settling as you start moving. Hills disappear into cloud. The track ahead is all dark grass, stone walls, and water running where it wants.
By late morning the walk turns into proper hiking, boots sinking, wind pushing hard across open ground. The coat takes the weather without softening its shape. Rain beads, runs, disappears. You stop less. There is no dry place to wait anyway. This is not scenery. It is exposure.
Later, when the light fades early and the cold finally works its way through gloves, the coat stays on. A Stella Artois lands on a rough wooden table in a low room that smells like wet wool and steam. Outside, the rain keeps working the hills. Inside, the Workhorse hangs heavy, darkened, exactly where it belongs.
This is what it is built for. Wet ground. Long walks. No shelter worth rushing to.
