Four decades, one rack
We buy from wardrobe clear-outs, trade-ins and country op-shop runs across Victoria, and only keep what's in wearable nick. Here's what each decade tends to bring in.
The seventies
Suede, cord, cheesecloth and every shade of rust. The decade most people walk in asking for.
- Suede and fringe
- Cord skirts
- Hand-knits
The eighties
Big shoulders, pearl snaps and tracksuits in colours we couldn't print with two inks if we tried.
- Western shirts
- Trench coats
- Tracksuit tops
The nineties
Slip dresses, spray jackets, linen and ringer tees — the things that keep coming back around.
- Slip dresses
- Spray jackets
- Linen shirts
Page 08Sizing guide
Vintage sizes run small
A 1970s size 14 is closer to a modern AU 10, so we ignore old labels. Every piece is measured flat, in centimetres, and tagged with the modern size it actually fits.
| Our tag | Fits like | A · pit to pit | Waist, flat |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | AU 6–8 | 44–47 cm | 32–35 cm |
| S | AU 8–10 | 47–50 cm | 35–38 cm |
| M | AU 12 | 50–53 cm | 38–41 cm |
| L | AU 14 | 53–57 cm | 41–45 cm |
| XL | AU 16–18 | 57–62 cm | 45–50 cm |
Lay your favourite jumper flat and measure armpit to armpit. Compare that number with the catalogue entry, not the old label — it's the only size that doesn't lie.
