    R.M.Williams. Well made, long lasting, and the stuff fits. Expensive though.

    What is 'Outback Clothing'

    Depends on the look you are after Juddy.
    Do you want to look like a Cocky out on the town, or one of the fella's mustering ?

    RM Williams would be the most famous outfitters, followed by Thomas Cook, but the funny thing with Thomas Cook is I've never seen anyone wearing their stuff outside of the cities.

    If you want to look like a cashed up city slicker that's trying to look 'county', go to RM's and spend away. Their gear is good but pricey, and we get no where near the range they offer in their big city boutique stores.
    FWIW not too many around here wear RM's except when going out, and then it's usually only the Tweed jacketed, landed gentry brigade although admittedly most all blokes wear RM's elastic sided boots for dress ups, although I prefer the Roper style boots myself.

    There's only one fella I know that wears RM ensembles day in, day out and that's my mate Jon, the Chardonnay quaffing, G&T sipping fencing contractor who's clothes go in the rag bag at the slightest tear or wear.
    He is a walking, talking ad for the quintessential bloke from the bush with a voice that would've put John Laws out of business 40 years ago.
    A wool classer by profession and all round good bloke, if looks count, he has it nailed.

    Wranglers in their Pro Rodeo Cut are the jeans of choice around here, closely followed by the Aussie made Blue Dog jeans.
    Work shirts can be anything from Hard Yakka, King Gee, etc through Ariat, Wrangler to whatever's on special at Target or Rivers
    I prefer Rivers drills ATM, tough as nails and more pockets than you can poke a stick at. They've outlasted all my Yakka and King Gee shirts by a long stretch.

    Oh, and Brian, RM's don't fit my bony arse at all, too low cut and cut too short in front, whereas the straight legged Pro Rodeo Wranglers fit like a glove, but they are only working dacks, although most have a 'going out' pair too.

    Good luck.

    Dress like a backpacker

    Something cheap, comfy, ability to wear for a week then throw away.

    Do the wear, flip then burn trick on your Grundy's

    I have thrown out all but a few of my denim jeans and now I almost exclusively wear moleskins instead. The RM ones are good, but they are too expensive to buy and then ruin with work/day to day stuff. Instead I wear the hard yakka ones, they are longer lasting too.

    I buy lots of my shirts at second hand shops. They've got lots of things and it's all really cheap...You can't have too many blue button up shirts!
