old school jumper

[craigd]

Does anyone know the best place to look to find an old Sydney or South Melbourne wool footy jumper?

Not really fussed what vintage, just as long as its not the silky acrilic stuff they make them of these days.

I think from memory they were probably last made in the mid 90s.

Ebay has not brought me any joy.

I'm kicking myself for throwing out my old ones.

If anyone has any ideas they would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

If you're patient, they do come up pretty often on eBay

This site reports to sell them. I couldn't see any but maybe email them? www.footyjumpers.com

I have a mate who bought one in a country op shop for $1. Bastard wouldn't sell it to me - he's not even a Swans fan!

Yeah its a bit of a quest, been looking a few months, may have to do a national op shop tour!

Try Gumtree. If you live in Melbourne you might like to contact the Swans Melbourne Supporters club. They are called the South of Melbourne Swans Supporters Group or SOMS and their contact is; Sue Abbott 03) 5988 9928 or 0400 523 449. Maybe Sue or one of the other members will be able to help you.

I was given one by a mate almost 20 years ago and I still wear it to the footy when it gets chilly. Love it.
