Our Story

The School of Hard Knocks

An old school club for kids that have grown up with Love, Honour and Respect — experienced by time. You only become a member of The Old Kids Club through many years of trial and error, graduating at the School of Hard Knocks to become distinguished in your field.

Built on a foundation of passion and heart.

Honour

The Collection

Shop Our Designs

Each badge tells a story. Find the design that speaks to your craft, your trade, your life.

The Outlaw

A rugged outlaw with dual revolvers drawn and ready — a tribute to the ones who never played by the rules. He answered to no man, rode where he pleased, and lived every day on his own terms. For the rebels who still refuse to fall in line.

$55AUD

The Steam Train

Full steam ahead, boiler roaring and wheels thundering down the line. This old iron horse powered a nation forward and never once looked back. For those who charge through life with unstoppable force.

$55AUD

The Biplane

Wings tipped to the heavens, taking flight above the clouds where few ever dared to go. Held together by grit, timber and nerve, she belonged to the daring and the fearless. For the free spirits who would rather chase the horizon than stay grounded.

$55AUD

The Card Sharp

A cool hand at the table with eyes that give nothing away. He reads the room, plays the long game and never bluffs when the stakes are high. For those who back themselves and always deliver.

$55AUD

The Cowboy

Saddle up, partner — one hand on the rope and eight seconds of glory aboard a bucking bull. Dust, bruises and pure grit, all for the roar of the crowd. For anyone who holds on tight when life tries to throw them.

$55AUD

The Motorcycle

Chrome gleaming, engine growling and nothing but open road ahead. Two wheels, one throttle and the freedom to disappear over the next rise. For those who were simply born to ride.

$55AUD

The Boxing Gloves

Gloves laced tight and ready to go the full distance, round after round. It was never about the punch you throw, but how you get back up. For the fighters who refuse to stay down.

$55AUD

The Bulldozer

Blade down and tracks digging in, moving mountains one push at a time. No job too big, no ground too hard — it just keeps grinding forward. For the ones who are built tough and get it done.

$55AUD

The Hotrod

Supercharged, low-slung and dripping with attitude, built in a back shed with grease under the fingernails. Every bolt tuned for one thing: burning rubber and turning heads. For those who have had a need for speed since day one.

$55AUD

The Legend Truck

King of the highway with the horizon in the windscreen and a full load behind. Long hauls, roadhouse coffee and endless miles from coast to coast. For the legends who keep the country moving.

$55AUD

The Newspaper Maker

Ink-stained hands setting type by lamplight, chasing the story before the ink even dries. The presses roll through the night because the truth never waits. For those who know the press never sleeps.

$55AUD

The Prospector

Boots in the creek and pan in hand, sifting the streams of experience for something that glitters. Patience, sweat and a hunch that the next swirl holds gold. For the dreamers who strike it rich the hard way.

$55AUD

The Blacksmith

Hammer ringing on the anvil, forging strength from fire and steel. Every strike shapes something built to last a lifetime. For the original makers who create with their own two hands.

$55AUD

The Banker

Waistcoat buttoned, ledger open, counting coins and quietly building an empire. Sharp with a figure and sharper in a deal, a true gentleman of means. For those who play the long game and build something that lasts.

$55AUD

The Hunter

Rifle over the shoulder and a loyal dog at heel, at home deep in the bush. Patient, steady and quiet on the track, he reads the land like an old friend. For the true marksmen who respect the wild.

$55AUD

The Fisherman

Line in the water, hat pulled low, patient and wise beneath the morning sun. It was never really about the fish — it was the quiet, and the waiting. For those who have been reeling in the big one since way back.

$55AUD

The Shipper

Hand on the wheel and eyes on the swell, navigating uncharted waters far from shore. Salt-worn and steady, he trusts the stars and his own good sense. For the seasoned hands who are not afraid of the deep.

$55AUD

The Carnival

Roll up, roll up — lights blazing, music playing and the big wheel turning against the night sky. A little bit of magic, a little bit of mischief and memories that last forever. For those who know life is a carnival and you have earned your ride.
