Looking for T-Shirt recommendations for older guys

I'm looking to refresh my wardrobe with some new t-shirts. Like a lot of older guys, I've seen heaps of social media adverts for companies like True Classic who promise quality shirts that help highlight what muscle we have left, whilst hidding a little of the extra around the middle we don't want to highlight. Frankly, I think they're full of c**p.

So, what Aussie made t-shirts are good quality? Ideally v-neck. Being from the UK I'm not familiar with the brands so am hoping some Aussie guys can help out. Thanks!

Bared Footwear vs Frankie4?

Apparently they are 2 Australian shoe companies that are podiatrist-designed/approved. I was recommended both of these in my search for comfortable heels/dress shoes for an upcoming wedding. I really value comfort, so I'm looking for a low heel or fancy sandal or flat, and preferably something that is very stable and comfortable that you could wear/walk/stand/dance in all day/weekend!

Does anyone have any experience with either of these brands? Or any recommendations? Thanks!!

SPC and Goulburn Valley not using 100% Australian ingredients

Is this a seasonal thing or are SPC and Goulburn Valley no longer using 100% Australian ingredients? Woolworths home brand is still 100% Australian ingredients.

Aussie made and owned doonas and pillows from Tontine.

So now in the depths of winter my husband and I decided we need to get an extra doona and some new pillows for the bed.

We usually just go to Kmart but when we were in store everything was filthy and it was making me feel gross. Like the bedding inside the packaging was grotty and the store was just filthy in general.

So we wandered over to Harris Scarfe in the same shopping centre since they had 50% off and snagged this Tontine pack that comes with a doona and two pillows, Australian made and owned.

With the sale it came down to $59.99, cheaper than buying it all seperately at Kmart. Plus the store and all the products were clean which was a plus.

I honestly didn’t realise that Tontine was Australian made and owned so thought I’d do a PSA.

Gifts to get from Brisbane?

My dad is traveling to Brisbane in August and we are from India. Last time he travelled to Australia we ended up getting a lot of tourist-y stuff that we don't need (keychains, boomerang, etc).

This time I am going to ask him to bring some authentic stuff we won't get here in India. Especially if it's something local from Brisbane, that would be great. Please suggest!

Also, I compiled a list from AI sources. Please let me know if any of these are worth buying.

Snacks

  1. Macademia nuts/ macademia nuts snacks

  2. wattleseed biscuits

  3. violet crumble chocolate bars

  4. Cherry ripe chocolate bars

  2. Kakadu plum face products (rich in Vitamin C)

fashion-

  2. merino wool scarf

Thank you :)

Does anyone know of some small Australian meat farmers that sell online?

I am sick of giving woolies my money so I have decided to try and buy meat sourced direct from the farmgate. My only issue is that I keep on running into other large corporate meat processors/farming operations, which is not really what I am looking for.

So if you know a small business that does this, along with any other fresh produce, I will be all ears!
