Cowboy Hats and More

Since its release in 1986, people around the world have been captivated by Mick “Crocodile” Dundee.  Characterized by his outback hat, crocodile skin vest, big knife, and unique outlook on life, the Crocodile Dundee was a big hit at the box office and became a cultural icon for the decade.  In recent years, a follow up film to the original Crocodile Dundee was released, placing the same characters in the urban environment of Los Angeles, though it was met with only moderate success.  Though the crocodile man from down under didn’t fare so well this time, the original films excite and entertain modern audiences as well

Paraphernalia from the show is still popular as it has become a standard stereotype for Australian people.  Though real Australians don’t wear crocodile skin garments and tote large skinning knives, it’s fun to think about people who do.
