Lemme see.. a Carhartt Car-Lux hoodie retails for US$30.

Pants ... US$22 a pair - im gettin 2 pairs

Shoes US$54

= US$128 = AUD$170

Keeping in mind that the Car-Lux can retail for anything up to AUD$230 in Melbourne, a pair of Dickies workpants (which is what i'm getting) costs around AUD$110 and shoes are about AUD$120-150...

I would say thats a hell of a lot cheaper, considering the quality of the clothes.

I suppose it doesn't really matter if ur in Sth East Asia looking for cheap knockoff stuff but for the genuine article thats pretty bloody cheap.

Nice 1 Friday... I gotta wait till the end of september to see my stuff, but thats ok cos I fgure the discount is worth waiting for.

I'm contemplating beginning to order clothes online. I have very specific tastes and know exactly what I'm looking for most of the time. I'm just a little cautious about international shipping ...

Is that the place in St Kilda? Coz if it is I hear it's very very nice......Oh, just looked at the time, it's lunchtime so you're probably there already. Hope you're having a nice lunch!

yeah! zero hour and I! Was just gonna big it up myself. "there goes the fear" was the highlight for me, as well as "cedar room". last time they played the hi-fi they did some sub-sub stuff...guess now they've got enough material they dont have to revert to that!

big ups magnesium supplements. tried it for the first time last night, and I never thought a simple vitamin sup could make such a difference.

Anyone who gets twitchy/anxious (be under normal or stressful situaitons or after a big weekend) should check them out. I am a big skeptic when it comes to naturopathy and stuff (I've always believed in good ole fashioned chemicals to get a job done) but the proof with this one is undeniable.

everyone get on the mag

I cant stress how much difference good vitamins and other sups can make. But good ones, not your off the shelf blackmores stuff, although thats better than nothing. I just got back on them and its making a world of difference. Towards the end of year 12, my old man put me on these mega expensive USANA antiox and minerals... lost 30 kilos and felt so fresh all the time. Then went to uni, became broke and alcaholic, coulnt afford descent organic veg and was constantly given free beer, thus health went so shit for a few years. Didn't really notice but in hindsight it was the sups that gave me the kick up the bum. Recently tho, my head became fucked, couldnt think, was losing time, haluscinating, all sorts of weird shit. Docs couldnt tell me what was wrong, some wanted to diagnose me with schizo affective dissorder, so took a few weeks off and spend some cash on top shelf sups and descent food and lots of omega acids to get neuro function working proper again (mmm fish). Comming good now! At the end of the day your brain is just another organ hey.
