    Pathfinders

    Anybody here interested in a VGC copy of At First Sight: A Factual and Anecdotal Account of No 627 Squadron I just picked up? You can check the current average price on Abebooks, but reasonable offers from loungers always considered.

    martial music

    I was thinking the other day that most of the music we associate with WW2 is upbeat stuff like Bugle Boy or Glenn Miller, and the occasional tear-jerker like Lili Marlene, but there seems to be no 'post-war' stuff that addresses the past conflict, unlike say the Vietnam war, which has countless...

    SMAAAALL akubra

    Anybody got a retro-child with a 53cm scone? I found a lovely Akubra the other day, a 'Springtime', which is a new one on me, but even my 8-yr old nephew is too bigheaded for it.

    maikai yourkai

    Anyone here know anything about the history of the UI MAIKAI hawaiian label, they produced one of the most recognisable designs ever, seem to have a huge range going back at least 40 years, and yet they are completely ignored in all three major reference tomes on the subject, and nothing...

    By Gosh

    Found this, a bit dinged up but carefully repaired with wool darning, someone's mum obviously, but it seemd quite an old style...any ideas on the vintage? It 's still probably the $5 worth even in that state tho.

    justin time

    Having scored (for old time's sake) a pair of snakeskin Justins recently, I was horrified when a passer-by wanted to know why I had the shaft inside my jeans....well I always thought that unless one was riding through the sagebrush near a lonesome pine, one didn't expose the shaft, only women...

    Dover books

    Anybody got this? http://store.doverpublications.com/0486269183.html I thought Dover (who had an amazing range of repro stuff in the 70's) had disappeared, this looks great!

    Touchdown, Henry!

    Yesterday I took a tour through some of the less salubrious industrial suburbs of the city to my North, places where even the babies have tattoos, and came up trumps, 4 Akubras and a Henry Heath, all for $40 Australian total, the HH is interesting, I don't know the brand at all, and it's in...

    Belstaff TT

    Found this at an auction last week, and grabbed it even though I'm not a bike rider, the badge from the TT races is dated 1986, but how old is the jacket? I see 'vintage' Belstaffs going for huge amounts on ebay, was this worth getting? The zip is a bulky black YKK. size is about 42 so it fits...

    SAW 5

    So there I am sitting on my stall at the markets, business is OK, three hats and several hawaiian shirts have gone to appreciative customers at good prices, when the guy from the stall next door comes over, and says he's been after a new hat for a while and he just sold some stuff so he's cashed...

    close shave for the unwary shopper

    So there I am in one of my regular welfare shops after a few weeks away; they've changed the whole layout, and the hatrack is gone. As I look around I spy a basket with some very scruffy lids in it, but as I approach, a barefoot woman cuts me off and grabs this very dusty and scruffy Akubra...
