I've bought my suits (so far) from Azzaro in south Melbourne. They stock a wide range of Italian suits from low-end fused (Enrico Coveri) to high-end fused (Versace Collection) to mass-produced cavassed (Cantarelli, Canali, Sarti d'Italia) to hand-made (Antichi Telai). They only stock standard sizes though.
Azzaro is actually the Australasian showroom for Canali, as well as the local distributor for Versace Collection. If you click on this link for the Australia/New Zealand showroom you'll see their details. Their wholesale showroom (not open to the public) has loads of Canali swatches and Canali catalogues and a few samples. Same with Versace Collection. Their retail showroom is chock-full of suits with some sports jackets as well. They usually have one size in every style, although some samples only come in one size. I just got a Cantarelli unlined (and very lightly structured) summer suit which is a sample from their 2011 summer range. Don't be put off by some of the photos on their website, they have loads of very classic and elegant suits as well, not just fashion forward stuff from Versace. A good example can be found at the Antichi Telai website. Maybe we should organise a group outing?
