Australian Members - Part II - if you read the first post, you'll get what this is all about.

[Hurlazza4]

as in whether someone has bought it at a shopfront/bricks and mortar store, OR online locally as Gerry has linked, OR are you seeking information from someone in Australia who has experience with the product who can review/give their 2 cents? Your post was rather ambiguous.

Thanks sliq, I appreciate that my question was less precise than you might prefer. I'm really after information from someone who has bought Bick 4 from an Australian retailer (either online or preferably at a "bricks and mortar" shop).

Obviously, I can use google, and perhaps less obviously I did. Google had a few options but none of them were to my liking so I thought I would ask around and this seemed like the best option.

I did expect a few "smart-arsed" comments. I am not an opponent of smart-arsery, I'm quite prone to it myself. Though there is always a risk in written text that the recipient can't hear the friendly tone of the comment without resorting to things like this. ?

i had forgotten how messy very young children are until recently. I had stain of some description on a polo shirt and gave it wash and no joy the spot was still there. Granny GF interceded with a recipe of dishwashing liquid scrub it on, then add vanish leave for 24 hours and wash item in hot water. Lo and behold ”out damn spot”

Previously had been using Eucalyptus Oil and wash in hot water.

I’ve had good success with Sard on a screw out stick. Make a thick paste and scrub it in both sides with a toothbrush and leave 24 hours or less. Wash as usual.

Anyway it was hot here the other day.

will try this, have a very stubborn stain on white shorts. Even after using bleach, it still remains :/

yeah dishwashing liquid is good for oil-based stains

Would you or would you not? Good price on the jacket. Made in Italy. LP Tweed. But I rarely wear green anything...

With navy flannel trews would be rather fetching.

I would. In fact, where is it from?

Don't buy it because of the price. Buy it because you can see yourself wearing it and it goes with with you have.

I’m with Gerry. If you’re unlikely going to reach for it to wear because the colour isn’t one that you fancy, you’re unlikely to get much wear of it so it’s a no from me.

Thanks for the feedback all. Will continue to mull over it.

as a counterpoint, I wasn't sure about green sportcoats before I picked up an ethomas slub from spier mackay at a price I couldn’t refuse. Ended up becoming one of the most worn pieces in my wardrobe.

Good sales can sometimes be a great opportunity to experiment with styles you haven’t considered before, especially if (like me) you aren’t great at visualizing new outfits
