A wearable piece of old Manly, designed especially for women.
For generations of locals, coming down Sydney Road meant looking for two familiar sights—the ocean ahead and the Tyre Man watching from high above the road. Once you saw him, you knew you were home.
This vintage Manly women’s T-shirt features a carefully restored historical photograph of the famous Tyre Man outside the Sinden Tyre and Rubber Company at 100 Sydney Road. Established by Eddie Sinden in 1927, the local business and its unforgettable figure became one of Manly’s best-known landmarks.
The original black-and-white streetscape captures more than the Tyre Man. It preserves the changing cars, buildings and character of Sydney Road during an earlier era of Manly life.
Printed on the AS Colour Women’s Maple Tee, this comfortable mid-weight cotton shirt has a regular women’s fit and durable construction for everyday wear.
A meaningful Australian nostalgia gift for Manly locals, former Northern Beaches residents, vintage motoring enthusiasts and anyone who remembers looking for the Tyre Man on the journey home.
