Just to confirm, Kimber's shoes aren't made in Australia?

Hey Sydney-siders

Came across this mob on Military Road, Neutral Bay, yesterday:

MTM Shirtmakers primarily (but they also make suits). Shirts made in South Korea. Some Acorn and Monti fabrics and other smaller Italian and Japanese mills. Shirts apparently start from $109. Monti fabrics start from about $189. Two-week turnaround time for a shirt. Run by a Korean (I think) guy called Patrick Oh. Seems like a nice enough fellow. Quite a few fabrics in store.

Anyone heard of them?

I've got some pictures but haven't had a chance to upload them to the blog yet. I expect to do that tonight.

Good find CEP, shirts look pretty decent for the price. I like this:

Too tight in the waist--not a great advertisement.

Bit of Prince Charles style. Linen Db jacket perhaps? Plus very high rise pants and very, very low tie clip.

^^Hard to tell with that fabric.

Just a bit wary of taking the plunge, even at this price.

Will have to think about it. Maybe start with a cheaper fabric as a test...

Charlie always looks great, I'd even go so far as to say he is beyond critisicm for things like low tie clips (more practical than a high one) and un-done DB coats (prob for cooling purposes if in linen), simply because he is always so well put together.

My comment was really more about the fabric but I don't agree with you about the fit. It's cut on the slim side rather than parachutesque, but I wouldn't say too tight. Maybe too tight for some, but it's within the spectrum IMO. The bit of overhang of fabric over the trousers indicates he can certainly breathe or have a big lunch if he wants to...

And if you have a look at the link CEP posted most of the shirts modelled on a real person are cut similar; none are what I would call "too tight".

G'day Gents,

Does anyone have any experience purchasing liquor from overseas (particularly Scotch)? Wodnering if you might have a ballpark figure for any additional duties payable on 2 x 700 ml bottles costing 25 quid each.

I dare say duties and taxes will be prohibitive, and you will be better off heading to Dan Murph's.

C'mon, it's pulling at the last button. If he eats a big lunch he'll have someone's eye out
