Thread: Out back Clothing where to buy??

Gday,
couple things, moleskins are OK, jeans are more common day by day,
most wear 'ringers" shirts where Ive seen, and the majority wear a mid blue refered to by everyone as "ringer blue"... and yes rm's also good but unless thru the 2nds shop (in SA) or when they have a clearout (about twice a year) way too exxy!!


I suggest try:-

bill drews "BBB clothing", they are good comfy clothing worn by most station people ...jeans, shirts etc,...been around for years, good drill cotton shirts etc

BBB Rural & Outback Clothing


also try BLUEDOG clothing, another good bloke & good clothes, bluedog lives in marree in SA when not travelling about to sell the clothes... and yes he is known to all as "bluedog".. I love the shirts, The best is the three button, "ringer blue" l/sleeve top...I reckon anyway!

BlueDog Clothing & Jeans - Country Clothing Australia, Outback Casual Clothing Australia, Cowboy Traditional Australian Country Clothing


I havent any interest or link to either of the above, but am good friends with "bluedog"..

cheers
digger

Thanks for the info on BlueDog Dig, as I mentioned in my first post, his jeans and shirts are second only to Wranglers in popularity here.

I guiltily admit I'm not a wearer....yet

Checked it out, the model would make your eyes water, and one size fits all!

Maybe Juddy is a young 'en and wants the new metro cowboy look.

I dunno a young cowboy in layered pastel polo shirts with upturned collar just doesn't look right to me

Hi There Cowboy, come up and see me sometime!!!!!

To be honest with you, i dont want try and be anything, just would like the apropriate clothes for the environment, my $200 shirt, and Merrials, and cargo shorts might look out of place.

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.

I hate Backpackers......... They all look the same, stand out a mile..

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

You have a good point there..

Not sure where but probably any adult store should sell them for you.

Something like this right?
