You learn something new every day. I had never heard of Driza-Bone and there is President Putin and Hu and their buddies wearing these Aussie iconic stockmen garb.
Wow it is really boring. I wanted to see some Aboriginal body art or at least a singlet and barbie wear.
You can get them over here: famous Australian coats. Are you sure you live in Australia?
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for wife-beaters just for the headlines....
ReplyDeleteIt was a disappointing choice for "national costume". I thought the days of Driza-Bones & Akubras being the definition of Australia were well behind us.
ReplyDeleteIt is also ironic that in our drought-stricken nation we seem to have a fetish for handing out raincoats to visiting world leaders. Maybe singlets, stubbies & hats with corks might have been a better choice.
You have also made a good point about Aboriginal culture (not) being included. We have some brilliant indigenous-inspired clothing ranges here in Oz.
Driza-Bones are just another boring choice by an uninspiring government.
I've seen some of the range here, but made in the USA. I thought that was a rip off. They are incredibly ugly however.
ReplyDeleteNot like my red Akubra hat or R M Williams boots.
How can you live in Australia and not know of Driza-Bone??
ReplyDeleteNever heard of Driza-Bone?
ReplyDeleteYou surprise me Colin!
How can you not know? They're sold in every clothing shop! :)
ReplyDeleteHey it never rains here, I am not a stockman, and I obviously have serious character flaws. I shall be redoubling my efforts to integrate into this society. Thanks for all the positive encouragement. I will be sure never to admit to anything ever again.
ReplyDeleteSeriously I was aware of them in generic terms, just not the name. Is that acceptable?
Yes, getting them to be dressed by our aborigines would have been brilliant...but I thought the driza-bone were pretty ironic given the puff of hot air over climate change!
ReplyDeleteI think this is one of the most important info for me.
