Hey guys

This will be Owen and James' final week as an official Style Forum sponsor so feel free to take advantage of the members discount and also the Chino sale while they are active. Unfortunately we only have a small marketing budget so we are looking to try some other options to get more reach.

Ill still be around to handle any questions etc and also hopefully soon be able to let you know about a new MTM suit project that I am working on. 

^^^ MTM suit project?  

BTW, I finally got my Carminas in Paris.  Lucky it was soldes season, cos' the prices in Paris are at least 20% mark-up to their online store.  Great service from Frederic though.  Due to rain, I have not worn the shoes yet. The ruby shell oxfords are screaming for attention.  If they wear in well, quite likely I will order more shoes online since I know my lasts sizing now.

wow i bought one of my carminas in paris and they were cheaper than armoury prices .. dont know if it was the exchange or the list price cheaper.

cant reveal all the details on the mtm business yet (too many spies on the interwebz) but i got my first trial suit last month and I was mucho impressed. Actually I might take a #selfie tmr and get SF'ers thoughts

Romp, Paris is still cheaper than Armoury in HK.  Just that Carmina online is the best prices of them all.

understood!

i just bought this at Capsule .. wish it had a brass or copper buckle instead of black but wasnt going to pay $60 more to get one online. I got standard width - skinny might have been a good option with jeans too .. will have to try on later. Its really light so Ill feel odd wearing it until the patina builds

If it goes ahead, when do you plan to have it up and running?

Plans at the moment are a soft launch in March in Melbourne and Sydney maybe around June. This will be better than indochino/KW as we will do the fitting/measurements to ensure right fit and yes pricing will be sharp. 

edit: and worth mentioning that the fitters will have alot of experience which is important 

Exciting news Romp! What P Johnson has accomplished in the local market demonstrates the possibilities...

Gents l have asked this question previously but it possibly got lost in translation.... In regards to cuffing pants, what are peoples thoughts. I'm talking suit pants. Also what size cuff?

I have a couple of new suits and l thought l would roll the dice and hear what the local knowledge thinks. Stuff the cuff or go with it?

Appreciate any advice. Thanks
