I don’t do much shopping online but that’s because I don’t do much shopping at all. But if I did shop, and thus shop online like the entire world is doing these days, I’d definitely try and shop from a local webstore. There you go; ethical capitalism in the cold and inauthentic internet. Though, finding local online stores can be tricky since Adelaide sure isn’t to the webstore what Silicon Valley is to hi-tech. But, I’ve found one called The Old Scholar and the hole in my moth-eaten t-shirt is making mouthy shapes at me, saying “it looks pretty, pretty good, I think. But what would I know I’m a moth-eaten t-shirt!”
Yes, The Old Scholar is Adelaide based but the brands The Old Scholar carry are from all over the place like: graphic tees from Das Monk, dude’s Limedrop bits and pieces, tights from Wolford, Kings of Carnaby, and even Bonds trunks you might be able to get emergency couriered to you for when you’re trunkless, scared and alone because all your trunks are dirty. The website also features white font on hip photos, which is pretty good, too.
