The AFR has their Fashion special in the magazine today and mentions a place called Lord Coconut any Melbournians familiar with it? And if so worth adding to a must see list when visiting?

Lord Coconut is located in an office building in Flinders Lane, near Elizabeth St. I recently had a brief peek from the outside - it was closed at the time (being a Monday). Looks like he some quite interesting and quirky vintage style 'stuff' (technical term) for blokes. I plan on returning for a proper browse. Lord Cocunut is coincidentally on the same floor as Watchtrader, which recently relocated there.

Inspired in part by Charlie's self-shot of his great looking new shoes (grats), do we think cuffed trousers fit within conservative business dress over here or not? The web seems to think its perfectly okay, but a lot of that information is from America. What about out here in Aus? Apologies for my ignorance.

Yeah no problems with cuffs. Depending on how tall you are though, if your over 6 foot you can get away with 5cm, otherwise 4cm is the go I reckon.

Yes, plain toed oxfords. I wanted something simple but good looking. Fit is excellent, the best fitting pair I've thus far had, and the price very good for Goodyear welted shoes.
