Groovy Glo-Weave

Another recent find, a vintage Australian made Glo-Weave body shirt. These big-collared body-hugging bad boys were popular from the late 60s well into the 70s disco era. This one's a survivor from the time when Australian shirt brands like Gloweave and Pelaco were still being made locally.

Above: Peach coloured stretch poly/cotton body shirt by Glo-Weave, c1970. $6 from the Sebas Salvos.
Right: note the dual imperial/metric sizing on the tag (Australia started going metric in 1970).

Chunky time

Found last weekend, a working SEIKO "Transistor" battery powered wall clock from the 1970s. A predecessor to the ubiquitous modern Quartz wall clock, it dates from a time when Seiko was enjoying huge success (even James Bond wore a Seiko in the 70s).

Seiko "Transistor" electromechanical movement wall clock, $14.95 from the Wendouree Salvos.
