    Getting out-fitted in Melbourne, Australia

    Markets can also be quite fruitful in Sydney. Rozelle Market can have some great stuff - I found a lovely brown waistcoat there. I visited Retrostar a couple of times in Melbourne - ok. Though the place mostly stocks post-50s.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
