I have several worn pairs, the downside (or possibly upside for you BBO) is they each potentially have urine, blood and arabic sand in and on them. If you purchase today I can also throw in some socks, do you have fabric softener? 

I always knew you were a decent chap Ethan. Rather than being tawdry and mentioning cash I propose an exchange. I have some wonderfully stained undergarments that may be to your taste and would more than compensate for the loss of the brothel creepers.

Should someone warn BBO Ethan about shonky online traders?

In order to allay any concerns you have Doctor, feel free to scrutinise my undergarments for authenticity.

Are you saying that you are unhappy with products you have purchased from our Uncle Bitter?

Questionable business practices are more the domain of the esteemed Biffen.

The original Brothel creepers are still produced by Rossiters.

Most reputable footwear retailers will stock them or be able to source them for you.

At the risk of being embroiled in "questionable business practices"

I have size 5 and 6 in black @ $147.00 and a range of Slatters Ripples in Stone (a light beige) @$99

but would require a fitting at the shop in Beechworth.

If you wanted to expand your wine tasting experiences and retreat to Beechworth would be happy to meet.

We are remote enough from Melbourne that the bitter sting of defeat by Essendon can be diluted.

As long as they would fit a male with waist size of around 34, you have a deal. 

After that effort on Saturday, perhaps discussion on under garments and desert boots will put my mind at rest.

I wore desert boots to school back in the time. Comfortable and they were pretty handy kicking the footy after being worn in. 

The Desert Boot

Standard issue for any kid in the 1970's

2 Types, one made by Clark's which i prefered or the "Pasties"

everyone had 'em. Very comfortable and hard wearing...

Made in Australia...!

Well I was in these in the early 90s with mullet in tow, unfortunately the mullet came back into fashion for a time but the ripples never did.

Well with mine you'd be getting two for one!!

Just visited those purveyors of fine apparel, Messrs Harris & Scarfe. They were offering "Hush Puppies" for around $90.00 which they informed me were reduced from $150.00 -FMD!!!  I am out of touch with the world, I need to get off the estate more often.

BTW Ethan, dc has a trophy collection of used underwear that also may interest you.

BTW 2. Any chance of desert boots in the Philippines SWWL? When are you taking off?

BTW 3. Those things that my old mate Stu featured above were generically called "Ripple Soles". I reckon I had a pair once but well before the 90's.

They were big in Adelaide in the 90s (as were and still are the mullet), where I went to school with Simon Goodwin (albeit a couple of years below).

Services rather than products, Mable, but let's not go into too much detail.

After reading on here about his love of 'jolly good floggings', I think that is a very good idea.

Good for torps at recess in the yard.

bitters, if you are going the full monty i might have a vintage norwellan bluey duffle coat (complete with wooden toggles) somewhere in the attic. be excellent for rounding up those long-necked sheep of yours on a bracing winter's day at romsey manor . an absolute necessity for wearing with desert boots.
