I appear to be alone here, but I never go out without an undershirt - for suits, casual wear, whatever. To me it's the equivalent of going out without underwear.

When I'm suited up, I like to wear a standard white cotton crew-neck. Bonds mostly, but I got a few Calvin Klein ones out of curiosity and they're very comfortable/breathable. I never get sweat patches or stains. I think that the undershirt is the way to go.

This, on the right, is now what Black Tie means apparently.

FOOTBALLERS who flout the black tie dress code on Brownlow Medal night will be refused entry as the AFL becomes fashion police.

It is the first time guests who are not dressed by the book will be denied access to the gala function.

Faux pas seen in previous years such as charcoal or navy suits, coloured shirts and ties, and white dress shoes, will be a violation.

But a long black tie instead of a traditional bow tie is allowed on Monday night.

Wives and girlfriends spend weeks and a small fortune on the perfect frock for their blue carpet stroll in front of the cameras.

AFL chief Andrew Demetriou said organisers "don't want a situation where partners have gone to a lot of trouble to prepare for the night and then can't get in".

Richmond forward Jack Riewoldt demonstrated what not to wear in a purple shirt and striped tie, and Carlton's Jordan Russell nailed black tie in a slick, James Bond-worthy suit.

I will be in Darwin in 4 weeks and I heard they have lots of crocodiles there. So I was wondering where I can buy some nice crocodile goods. Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, David Jones is having a sale on business shirts and i wanted to get an opinion on which labels are good bang for buck.

For shirts i have tried to compile a list based on advice from people:
Abelard : Very Good
Ganton - Good
Van Heusen - Europe cut is not bad
Hardy Amies - Good
Baubridge and Kay - Poor
Rhodes and Beckett- Good but overpriced
M.J Bale - ?

Is this the general concensus of this forum aswell?

i've found that lots of suits sold in australia aren't suited for the warmer months, ie too heavy, too tight a weave. the weave being too tight is especially true for business shirts. i also don't get why linen suits aren't more popular here.

what weight suit are you wearing? tried ordering shirts from a HK tailor with an online store asking for a summer fabric?

it's been said somewhere on the forum (can't remember) that you shouldn't sweat in the right clothes(unless you have an extraordinary sweating problem). pain the the ass aus has such a poor range

I would not say from experience that B&K are poor but maybe expensive. Why not use the Lewin deals that are around from the UK?

Not defending the look on the left at all because it is hideous, but if that on the right is "black tie" I would want no part of it. In my opinion the look on the right is the formal equivalent of Ed hardy - slap a skinny tie and black suit on any inbred and all of a sudden they are "nailing black tie like James bond"???? A formal occasion does not mean wear a uniform for gods sake. If you have no sense of originality at least wear a tux so you can't fail.

...I remember thinking pretty highly of James bond suits, don't really remember him wearing skinny lapels and an unbuttoned shirt outside of when getting down and dirty...

Are Jantzen better value or higher level of workmanship?
