“Hi there, here’s a few photos of us in our safari suits you might like.
We are a club here in Oamaru, New Zealand with a similar interest as yours.
We are called the Safari Brothers, mainly a retro cycle club that dresses retro and rides retro bikes, and drink a heap of flagons.

Your annual outings look like alot of fun with good numbers too.

Will try and get you some more photos later.”

Please send us some more photos Chester. These are GOLD. Thanks.

Things happen when you wear Eleganza!

Lovin’ the lapels!

Stretch terry jumpsuit – maybe it’s not so comfortable as he doesn’t look happy about it.

The ultimate fashion climax!

Make sure you tuck your singlet in boys.

I added a post a while back about Austin at the Charles Sturt Tavern. That post didn’t have a picture of Austin but now Winks has dug one up out of his photo album.

Here’s the story:

This didn’t just happen once but two years in a row, Safari ended at The Charles Sturt Tavern where we met Austin in his lovely powder blue Safari Suit absolutely cutting up the dance floor. He was well and truly past retirement age but still did the odd job and I know this because he gave me his card.

I feel he was a very popular and frequent patron to this particular establishment because everyone knew him, especially the ladies. Gus and I had found the perfect person to present the final awards and he did it with style.

Do you remember Austin?

Do you have any pictures of past safari pub crawls sitting around in photo albums? If so please scan them and send them to me.

Love the website. I’ve been collecting safari suits for awhile now, I’ve got about 50. I’ve included a few photos from when me and a few mates went to the Esk country Races in QLD (think it was 2006).

I provided my mates all with safari suits and bowling shirts. I also wanted to know have you ever seen a legitimate mauve/light purple safari suit made in the 60/70s ? That’s the only one I want now for my collection.

Andrew, I’ve not personally seen a light purple safari suit but perhaps our readers may have? Please comment below if you have. And, Andrew, thanks for sending in the photos. That’s a serious safari suit collection you have.

This is downtown Hong Kong – where he perhaps got the safari suit?

On safari in Hong Kong. The yellow suit’s pretty lovely too.

On safari in Sydney – as you do.
