Some call them Ruggers
Our kind friend Dougie once spent a good 15 minutes trying to teach me the difference between Ruggers and Stubbies. Unfortunately I was too distracted by his manly thighs to listen, so for now let's call them 'man shorts'.

Love, Summer Of totes
Give a kid an extra sixty minutes of daylight and they're going to start thinking it's ok to hitch the hemline above the knee, that the sea was made for swimming in, that meals taste better in nature, and the only books worth reading are read on a plaid picnic rug in Fitzroy Gardens.

Melbourne Surf Shop
What happens when the oldest surf shop in the city clears out their warehouse and discovers boxes of stock from the mid ‘80s? Answer: Melbourne's new rave kids are afforded the unique opportunity to buy new clothes that are older and far more authentic than their music tastes.
