Chrono, the Mjolk sizing is +1, so you should be able to fit into the 30's which the guy told me they still had in stock when I called yesterday...might not have been the suspender pants though...give them a buzz if you haven't.

When I wrote +1 I meant +2. The guy on the phone told me I'd fit into a 28 after I told him I was looking for a 30. I was planning on placing my order Monday so we'll see eventually.

Well I think that's only for the suspendered pants, he told me the ted trousers are true to size

I really don't like that whole upper area, nor its girth.

Not feeling the boot. Decent beaters, but if that's not what you're looking for then return em.

Should I buy and in what color? I really like the simple but interesting style on this jacket.


Looks comfy. I am a bit boring and always tend to stick to basic (safe) colors, so navy/blue is my top choice, although they don't have pics of the navy so could be a hit or miss?

Hello, I have been thinking about getting this Jil Sander mesh holdall. It's 20" x 10" x 10" or so. I don't usually go for "mesh" but I am thinking this one could work. What do you guys think? Same as the navy one but the color is light gray like the little pic.

I like the styling, I think the green with the brass doesn't work though, looks outdated to me. In navy it'd be nice, maybe size down one as the 'model' is wearing it too big. Also I really like the flannel shirt. I'd consider it if it had any chance of fitting me (next product)

Yep, I was looking at that flannel shirt, too :)

Cheap Chelseas?

Was thinking about RM Williams but I'm sure I could scrounge up some kind of discount code and get this for something like $110 shipped, a great deal less than RMW and minus the long wait it would take.

Worth it to take a chance? Haven't really found anything else that fits what I need and budget.

^ I think with the current AUD weakness, this is a good time as any to get RMWs.


Ciro Lendini makes okay shoes. But considering the source, the price will surely get lower.

I'm inclined to agree but I'm not set on RMWs, just black chelseas that are sleek.
