Red Western Australia


Red Polyester/Cotton with puffy Swan & Western Australia

Vintage Western Australian tee's hold a bit of a facination given that it is my old home state and they certainly are something of a rarity. I am still holding out for an original 1979 sesquicentennary beauty! I do come across all manner of awful 80's & 90's souvenir disasters - the problem with this period is that we tried to be a little too tasteful but just ended up as dreadful, dating as quickly as a room temperature yoghurt on a February afternoon.

Anyway, I think I'll bust this out next spring for sure. It's another Polyester/Cotton (still the best blend) made by Artisan Garments (in Western Australia)...has the original 'Made in WA' state logo on the tag. The classic size 16. Printing is that old 80's puffy style & still has a bit of depth to it. Was most likely white to start with but is now a faint pink due to some colour run from the red tee. T-shirt itself is still a sweet, vibrant red. A Sandgroper classic!
