I think Cloakroom in Brisbane sells them for nosebleed prices.

IIRC it ends up being ~= for the price 1-2 items imported including shipping.

On pop overs
Can't do chest pockets.No pleats -- Shirring/grinze. Locker tabs are good too. 3-4 button placket depending on spacing ect.

No pockets, I have my minions carry my chest-pocket-able possessions.

Im also considering a full cutaway collar like Mr Agnelli there.

I might go white and pale blue in cotton/linen blend. I think its 60% cotton/40% linen but let me confirm when I finalise fabric selection.

Thoughts on pocket?

Definitely no pocket and three buttons on the plackett and what about a colarless version, something diffrent for a casual approach.

Gents,
Looks like endless.com is about to end on the 27th September 2012.
Endless is the cheapest place to buy shoe trees. Free shipping over $100 is a top deal. Just checked amazon they will charge about $40 to ship 7 pairs of shoe trees.

Is there a 'Woolite Extra Dark Care' equivalent that I could buy here to wash my N&F denim with? I am greatly fearful of using the crap in Woolies/Coles for they might destroy my raw denim swag.

Yep - http://www.pental.com.au/our-brands/laundry-care/martha-gardener

Can get that at Safeway, soak in cold water and air dry!

samples are obviously in James' size so in the meantime here is the pop-over on my tailors form. You guys still think the placket is too long? I think looks alot better when "worn" at this length but open to opinion. Even PG msg'd me to say more collar roll required so im going for more roll.

You can never have too much roll.

Placket length is nearly long enough. Should be just a bit visible above high waist line.

Looks a bit too waisted )( to me.

These things really shouldn't be too fitted.
If people really want the "I'm athletic build" or wrapped bursting sausage look then they can always take it in - but there will never be any allowance to let out and look normal.
