Reckon they'd go well with a string vest too :-) (do they have them in N.S.W or is it a U.K thing)???

The only time string vests appear in NSW is during ( and only then) the Gay Mardi Gras Parade, usually worn by the bears brigade.
So it must be a UK thing but as a fair exchange we had a Foreign Affairs Minister who was photographed wearing fish net stockings :shock:
We don't wear the four corner knotted handkerchiefs ala Alf Garnett.

We don't wear Akubra hats with corks on strings dangling just in case, business men used to wear safari suits but that has passed and normal business suits are the norm.
We can tell a POM visiting Australian beaches a mile off as they are the ones that are baked lobster red and on social occasion after the beach are shedding great slabs of skin as they walk. ( and that's true, no concept of the Australia sun)

A combination of style and comfort.

Well, pretty much the same here too, we have to make the most of that big old burning gas thing in the sky when we see it 8) and that's with English Sun too so Australian Sun, I can only imagine (as I've not been there yet).
