Baseball Cap
What can I say? I'm convinced that male Chavs are issued with a Baseball Cap at birth! Disregard caps worn at a jaunty angle or back to front, the Chav will use his cap peak to conceal his identity to the max! Look out for the particularly hideous Burberry variant as pictured left!

So MEN wear this????
I thought it was a nice cap...for girls (not me though)
But I guess you guys have a ''negative' association with it, so see it totally different

Has there been a noticable increase in joy riding in Perth?

It's the standard uniform of the English soccer hooligan. Burberry is banned in lots of pubs in the UK.

So I shouldnt be bringing my stone island, prada, armani, paul and shark, paul smith or cp company clobber with me to Oz then!!!!

But then again might as well stick it in as I saw non of this stuff for sale in Brissie. Thought fashion was a disaster in Oz.

Oh yeah, Nibbs, how's the job??

I'm checking the vacancies page everyweek, and I've now seen something I could apply for (all the essentials I qualify for). I have to apply for May 18 I think(or 30). But I'm so busy, and I still have to translate my whole CV, and make it 'Australian'! And then right a letter, oh and get references (aarghhhh, I don't want to!!!)
So.......................

I use to have a Burberry Jacket back in the 80's when I use to watch Nottingham Forest in the Trent end with all my girly mates!! It was cool back then and still is. Not everyone that wears it fights at football!! lol Just a few!

Tricky Tree, you can get Ralph Lauren in Myers but thats about it. Nothing else, they aren't into designer wear like Stone Island etc.

They like Billabong and all the surf gear. They sell Paul Frank though, and there is a shop in Hockley that's just started to sell it. Got a monkey face on the design.

No SI or anything!!!!!
What am I gonna wear????
Looks more like a fashion show on the terraces of Forest now if you aint wearing a grands worth of clothes you just aint at the races.

Your telling me they aint into their fashion tried to explain to the other half and her folks how I could justify spending £500 ($1200) on a SI coat while they just stared at me bewildered.

Perhaps I see a niche in the market for Oz.
