    Australian Members - Part II - if you read the first post, you'll get what this is all about.

    I’ve either got pointier than average elbows or sit strangely, which has lead to a number of early retirements for pieces of clothing. The latest victim is my favourite inis meain jumper. I’ve attached a picture of the damage. Am I going to have any luck getting this repaired without patching...

    I'm in need of some of the collective wisdom of the Australian Members. I'm going to begin interviewing with some of the investment banks for client facing roles in Melbourne next week and I'm trying to gauge how conservative they'll be. I've been working in one of the big 4 accounting firms for...

    I'd recommend 3sixteen straight leg. Best fitting jeans I've ever owned and definitely not too tapered.

    I could, but I think paying a third of the cost/replacement value to get it back in working order is a pretty good deal. I also have a spare from work to keep me dry over winter.

    Sent a few emails back and forth with Henry Bucks. Sounds like they should be able to fix it for around $50. Unfortunately it's all done in Sydney and could take 4 or 5 weeks. Better to be dry for the second half of winter than not at all though I guess.

    I bought an umbrella from Howard Yount about a year ago. Today's Melbourne winds have managed to snap two of the spokes. Was I wrong to assume this would last through these sorts of conditions? I've written to the guys at Howard Yount, but if I have no luck there, is this the kind of thing that...

    Had a look through this thread the other day to see if anyone had any good suggestions for dry cleaners in Melbourne and there didn't seem to be much consensus. Bancrofts was the most mentioned name but it seems to be getting mixed reviews and sounds like it is quite pricey. I decided to give...

    Has anyone bought anything directly off the SNS Herning website? Been trying to get in contact with them but haven't heard back. Do they ship to Australia and are quoted prices inclusive or exclusive of VAT?

    I have a question for the shoe experts around. I recently bought a pair of C&Js from the American Tailor sale. I haven't owned C&J before but I have owned AEs, Loakes and Meermins. The issue is that the top layer of the sole seems to be peeling off at the toe. I've never had this issue with...

     Just want to clarify, is the above picture what one of these in natural looks like in a few years time? http://www.huntleather.com.au/il-bisonte-6cc-billfold.html If so, I think I'll have to buy one.

    Introduce yourself.

    Hi guys Been lurking over a year, since around the time I started my first real job, trying to figure out how to look ok in a suit. Finally joined today to take advantage of a group shoe tree buy. Still slowly building up my wardrobe of suits, shoes, ties and the like after having made plenty...
