Report
A local shop-front pemises that's run by an extremely knowledgable & personable fellow named "Bill". There's a decent range of Fitzroy Football Club supporter clothing & memorabilia available for purchase including; hoodies, jackets, T-shirts, caps, scarves; as well as printed materials - books (eg. Fitzroy's Fabulous Century, For Love of the Jumper, Maroon & Blue), posters. Also, for the COVID era - a very comfortable 2 ply reusable mask that comes in a variety of sizes.
