Suits are out for professionals?
Very true! I wear a suit and tie every day. My staff are pretty mixed in what they wear and almost uniformly 'dress down' on Friday. Its interesting that when we do have people on the floor some of the more senior people get overlooked by visitors while the junior guy in a suit and tie gets the... -

Uniforms in casual wear
I've just recently bought a UK Aertex tropical BD Jacket from What Price Glory for Spring here in Southern Australia (yes - southern hemisphere = opposite seasons). Hopefully will be good of a little casual wear once it arrives. I was wondering if anyone could share any photos of fellow... -

Warrnambool
Interesting - will take a trip in the next few weeks and have a look. My wife and i have been meaning to visit friends down there anyway so we were going to have a weekend there anyway. I was interested in getting a look in the mill anyway after seeing a great doco on FJ on the ABC a few months ago.- Godfrey

They Say Em' From the Golden Era - Slang & Memorable Phrases
Help a Digger When I was a kid we moved from Sunny Melbourne, Australia to Boston, US(of)A. Within my first few weeks of school a another kid brought in something extraordinary to show the teacher. Like a good little Australian I exclaimed "What the bloody hell is that?!". At which point I got...- Godfrey

They Say Em' From the Golden Era - Slang & Memorable Phrases
Just reminded me of one of my Grandfathers phrases I've picked up. For everything is just right - "All ship shape and Bristol fashion". Given he was at sea in the 30's and during the war and then moved to country Victoria (Australia) I'm guessing its vintage. BTW - What are the actions? :)- Godfrey

They Say Em' From the Golden Era - Slang & Memorable Phrases
That's the best! I've never seen "A Slight Case of Murder". On the list and right to number one! Mine: "What's the rumpus?" (Millers Crossing) "What's the hub-bub... bub?" "That's a girl that would make the bishop kick out the stain glass" - Chandler - but probably not the direct quote...- Godfrey

Hats Down Under article
Thanks for this one. I think this year I'm seeing allot more hats and caps in Melbourne so they are making a slow comeback. I hadn't thought of the connection with driving - we are experiencing a 25% increase in Public Transport use in Melbourne - I wonder if there is a correlation? -

The Cap Faction
Eye Candy Fellow Faction Comrades! As a pretty solid cap wearer I'm always buying, looking at, thinking about, or talking about buying another cap. Obviously my addiction needs to be slowed with some nice reading material. Does anyone know of anything interesting to read and browse on types of... -
Tailors in Melbourne & Sydney
Bespoke. I took a leaf out of a Classic Style Mag in my last visit and discussed arm hole positions and sorted out a good fit in that department. Also getting a waistcoat with a few useful pockets. Next suit will be a summer half lined with a few additions for cycling - I came across Dashing... -
Tailors in Melbourne & Sydney
Good thread! I tend to use Travellers Apparel at 79 Wellington St, Collingwood who are excellent. Very reasonably priced for tailor made and good range of cloth. Salvatore, the head tailor is excellent and has an eye for detail. The only problem is getting him to do a really 40's style. Always... -
GALLIPOLI (1981)
The movie still gets to me. My great-grandfather served from 1914 and was wounded twice in France - eventually getting a 'blighty' and being invalided back to Australia after being gassed and machine gunned. He left an artistic young man and returned bitter and prematurely old. The movie...- Godfrey

What Defines a Mullet?
I was just thinking of Vokuhila when I was reading this! I think the photo's provided by Miss Elise can give you an idea why a Mullet us frowed upon. I mean look at the photo of the family! That kid will never be able to share baby photos - ever! In one foul stroke she has become a child... -

Hats banned from Yorkshire pubs
Could this be an opportunity to bring back compulsory hat check girls? You can drop in for a quick pint and leave with a brushed trilby and a saucy wink! -
Del Monico Hatters, New Haven, Connecticut

New Spielberg Movie ?
All true They were shooting part of it in my city of Melbourne. Basically took the old railway station and brought it back to the 40's - very very cool. Some further details... http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200704/s1906744.htm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTmcKSZMiGE- Godfrey

"Roo Felt" Fedoras?
Actually The ones you really need to watch for are the drop bears. A very nasty relative of the Koala with horrible fur for hat making (very stringy).
