MICHAEL STIPE SAYS: ''That was my father's corduroy jacket that was presented to him by his mother and father when he went off to college. And he passed it down to me. I've still got it.

[The look] came from Brother Sun, Sister Moon, that Zeffirelli movie about a monk denouncing his wealthy merchant family life. Donovan did the soundtrack, which was embraced by hippies in the '60s and '70s.''
