Until I find a brand with sizing that works for me everytime, then it's off to the internet I go.

In the $200-$250 range for leather shoes, where am I best to look while in Sydney?

I've heard the one in Claremont's quite big, but I wouldn't expect it to be any better than the barren flagship in the city.

They are excellent. Construction wise, right up there with any other machine-made pant I have seen.

After I factored in the cost of shipping, the cost of hemming with a cuff (often $25), and the cost of bringing in the waist (the 32 was slightly too big for me in the waist), they worked out to be about $250 a pair. Also, the size 32 sell out like nothing I've ever seen before. So I gave up on HY trousers, and now just order from P Johnson, which unfortunately cost about $400 a pair these days.
