Stubbies - an Aussie clothing brand now specializing in working and school apparel, probably best known for their shorts, the design of which remained unchanged for several decades.

And more "also", jumpers have been mentioned in the thread about the croc taking the lawnmower. Jumpers can also, for farmers and other rural folk, refer to kangaroos. I haven't heard it in modern usage but for the 1950s-1960s generations it was a moderately common term.
