    Trading post

    I've got a 36R Cooper A2 in excellent condition, what I don't have is a decent fedora to go with my d/b blue pinstriped suit. All my good hats are brown or green, and that just won't do. Anybody got a top-line 71/8, or 57cm grey or blue Stetson or Dobbs or whatever that we could come to some...

    get em out

    true story: I opened my 'high-end" aloha shirt cupboard last night, and to my shock and horror, a bloody great moth flew out,obviously not worried by the camphor protection system I have in there...I can't spray chemicals on each one for various obvious reasons, and inspecting each shirt for...

    aloha there??

    Does anybody here know of this shirt brand "HG,American Styled"? This is a Eugene Savage design, but rather cheaply done, and I wonder if it's legit. I found this in the outback in a one-pub orange growing town called Mundubbera, which is a LONG way from the beach, or anything resembling it.I...

    The Corps

    I bought an old box of books and inside amongst a lot of Australian military stuff was a USMC yearbook from Parris Island, no date but looks Vietnam era, for platoon 260. I know there are some USMC members (or ex) in the FL, anybody know any more about this thing.

    stingeeee

    here's two of the four I scored this week, the Faun stetson has a grey twin, and I've never seen a hatband like it before, and these are as new, still with the maker's shoptags inside the sweatband. The 3X Stetsons are "Saxon" type, unknown to me previously. I've not come across the seamed...

    A2 too

    I just found a Cooper A2 , beautiful condition, must be a Raptor because the pockets are on the front, and it's just that bit too small at 36R. anyone here in Aust interested, I won't bother with evilbay, it'll just go on my market stall otherwise. I also scored a very nice sports shirt by "Don...

    keep well back

    LOOK WHAT I FOUND Your fair dinkum pacific theatre "trench art" P-38 ashtray, probably postwar but a nice piece of chromed brass I think, I haven't seen one in over 20 years. One prop blade is missing , *#+!!, but at $10, I can live with it. I'll hunt around to see if anyone can fix it, it...

    pelaco

    This ad is one of the most famous in Australian history, and is often used as an example of, shall we say, less sophisticated, attitudes to the original inhabitants that were prevalent 60 years ago. Pelaco shirts were one of the biggest manufacturers of menswear and the brand is considered an...

    lost cause?

    I've been trying to get this old bugger to stay in shape without success, it's definitely some sort of natural fibre that's been painted (?) and I have starched it and gently ironed it but the brim just goes haywire...what can I I do with such a recalcitrant thing? It has the old pad inside and...

    the $64 question

    I know what this is, who else does. [/URL][/IMG] I found it in the shed, totally forgot I had it, the cord will have to be replaced, but it'll be going to work as soon as my new suit comes back from the invisible menders
