Clothes

Tee Shirts

Many shops sell tee shirts. The best we know you can get come from Penguin Place and International Antarctic Centre. Try them first. Sea World usually have a good stock, but they do all have Sea World logos plastered all over them. Many zoos sell penguin tee shirts. It is worth doing a web search for penguin tee shirts as there are usually a couple out there if you look.

Shorts

We once bought shorts from the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) by mail order. Otherwise the only shorts we have seen are available from the International Antarctic Centre.

Leggings

The rookery print leggings available from the International Antarctic Centre are so good they deserve a special mention. Barbara wouldn't be seen in anything else!

Socks

Penguin socks become popular around Christmas. Try Sock Shop, or any department store. As usual Penguin Place and International Antarctic Centre have good supplies.

Ties

Peter started a collection of penguin ties several years ago, the total is now over 190 different ties and rising. The best places to pick up penguin ties are the shopping malls at international airports. Tie Rack have over the years stocked several designs and usually have one or two in stock. Salvatore Ferragamo seem to bring out a new penguin design each year.

Nightshirts

Barbara has now started her own collection, of night shirts and pyjamas.  These can be found in many stores around Christmas time.  It is worth looking not only in department stores, but also in any women's wear shops.  So far Barbara has collected about 50 nightshirts!

Underwear

Penguin Place and International Antarctic Centre both offer men's underwear, International Antarctic Centre has women's as well. Sometimes you can find silk boxer shorts in Tie Rack - these have to be seen to be believed. Marks and Spencer have had penguin underwear and nightdresses at Christmas time for the last couple of years, as have had several department stores.
