Not by myself
Biography & Memoir Australiana Business & Economics
Not by Myself is Fletcher Jones’ candid 1984 autobiography, tracing how a Depression-era migrant built one of Australia’s best-known clothing empires. In lively, plain-spoken prose he recounts the setbacks, wartime wool innovations, and employee-first philosophy that powered Fletcher Jones Manufacturing into every high street.
The memoir doubles as a window on mid-century Australian business, fashion design, and regional history, making it a rewarding read for entrepreneurs, historians, and vintage-clothing lovers alike. Young adults and adults interested in economics or motivation will find practical lessons tucked between nostalgic yarns of Geelong life.
This hardback, complete with its original dust jacket, shows minimal wear: clean pages, tight binding, no dog-ears, and only a 3 cm tear on the jacket. It comes from a smoke-free home and is ready for immediate shelf pride or gift-giving.
