A "Picker" just called...
Heard about it, haven't seen it, no I'm over between Murbah and the coast, although i'm playing a gig near Nimbin on NYE -
A "Picker" just called...
OK can someone actually define what a 'picker' is, are they some sort of middleman between the junkyard and the antique shop? Over here most hunting is done by antique dealers themselves for their shops, or people like me who actually sell the stuff to the public at markets, and we pretty much... -
A "Picker" just called...
He throws them out? In this country you can pay up to $50 for a beater in thrift shops due to the re-appearance of hats in rap videos, don't they have television round there? I think he's pulling your leg..... -

Australian Vintage Suits
Funnily enough, Mike Carlton's column in Saturday's SMH refers to the horrors of sitting around school in summer in Crusader cloth uniforms...and spare a thought for the Anzacs, I once worked as an extra on a Gallipoli movie shot on the Maroubra sandhills, and we wore WOOLLEN undershirts woollen... -
Australian Vintage Suits
We could be pedantic and say it's British cloth anyway, because 'Irish' Thornproof would probably have been made in the North as I think that was where the mills were, but I could be wrong! Someone will know here, if anywhere! -
Australian Vintage Suits
No it was lighter than Thornproof, (which I thought came from Ireland), but still very sweat-inducing, and consequently prickly to sit in a classroom with no air-con in summer, the trousers weren't lined either, I think it had to reach 90F before we were allowed to loosen our ties.... -
Australian Vintage Suits
Ha! Crusader cloth, I had a pair of grey school pants made of that stuff, lots of fun to wear in the Queensland summer. along with your woollen tie and top button done right up at all times..... -
Tis the season to be jolly
I wasn't specifically referring to half-belts although I have a 40's one for sale, I just meant any vintage leather jacket, i find it hard to sell any at all in the last 3 years or so, it took me nearly 12 months, which is at least 40 markets, to get rid of a 70's Stagg Brando in weathered...- dr greg

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Vintage-leather-jacket-/120827912015?pt=AU_VintageFashion&hash=item1c21e79f4f#ht_500wt_1202 this bloke has to be 'havin a laff', it's a nice jacket, but he could knock a nought off and still be lucky to sell it in today's market.... I've had better ones than that...- dr greg

John B Stetson Made in Australia Under License, so Akubra made for sure -

The Hunter
yes the iphone camera does wander through the colours a bit, it's a dark grey, probably the top pic is closest... as to age, it may well have been made in the 50's but it must have sat on the shelf for a while because our currency didn't go to the $ until 1966. I know the shop it came from well... -
The Hunter
This makes driving hundreds of miles through the boondocks worthwhile...$15, never worn still with price tag of $8.75 inside so mid 60's by my reckoning... first shot...as found [/IMG] I Like it! after a spruce-up [/IMG] [/IMG] [/IMG] -

Australian Prime Minister Tribute to American Veterans
Definitely not apocryphal, there were forts on the coast all over the place as well, I used to play in one as a kid that the old bloke across the road was stationed in, neighbourhood gossip had it that his legendary alcoholic intake was a consequence of endless nights on guard fortified with rum... -
