    I know that UPS utilise this same parcel point pick - up service. I must admit it is mighty convenient being able to swing past at 11pm at night, rather than try and fit in with Australia Post who open at 9:01 and close at 4:59.

    Yes interested in this too. I can't think of a better store for MJB than the old Italy 1. I really enjoy the location in that laneway and it seems to be of a manageable size. Browman, try Gnome cafe in Surry Hills. 536 Crown Street. Some of the best coffee I had in Sydney. Good food too!

    Congrats Lachy. May I ask which Court you are an associate in? I have some friends who've done it and RAVE about it!

    My favourites include Filippa K and Marcs. Obviously Filippa K can be quite expensive but have a look at zoovillage.se for some cheaper ones, otherwise ebay. Marcs can be picked up for about $30 each during sales.

    I'm sure they still turn a profit on such a transaction. Most larger companies who use DHL or other couriers regularly have a consistent week by week inventory space allotment. By fufilling your order they are really only using what they had already paid for. Don't get sucked into AirFreight...

    Time to invest in some invisble socks my friend. Best investment I've made in a while. Gone are the days of smelly shoes. I reccomend the french brand Achiles, available on their website.

    I'd suggest looking at the MAX fit of Acne jeans. Good quality, with a fit that sounds like it matches what you're looking for. I much prefer the Snake fit, but that will be too tight for your purpose. Stocked at Acne in Melbourne and Sydney and a plethora of places online.

    Hmm would be interested to know. A colleague said they often have Hugo Boss underwear for $9 which isn't bad for basics. Other than that I have a feeling it might be a bit Ed Hardy, Roberto Cavalli like... Top work TS. I'll investigate those options, thank you.

    I feel your pain. 8% ciders certainly don't taste that strong at the time. My better half is currently in NYC and I'm hoping you may have some pointers on where she should look for male clothing and more specifically accessories. I'm in need of a leather overnight bag amongst the usual ties...

    Coffee snobs, just last weekend I experimented with roasting my own beans. The machinery used? A $28 Breville Popcorn maker with slight modifications. I'm not sure if it relates to the fact I roasted them myself, or whether they are indeed well roasted, but I can't get enough! Definitely worth a...

     Welcome Jason! I'm based in Melbourne and I must admit Chapel Street would be one of the last places I would go if I was looking for good quality clothing. I know that Taveller's Apparel in Collingwood have tuxedos at reasonable prices. Not necessarily the best quality (fused rather than...

    I echo Brownman's sentiments on this topic. I've seen some of my friend's suits made in Thailand, Vietnam etc and apart from hideous fabric, the sturdiness of construction and poor stitching leaves a lot to be desired. I think PJ or any other established tailor in Aus would be a better bet. It...

    So much this. I'm sick of seeing the same suit jacket in every single menswear store, or the same glued sole black pointy shoes retailing for $200, when I know I can get infinitely better quality on herring or pediwear for a similar price.

    Erghhh, apologies for the spelling error Journeyman. That's the result of alt tabbing furiously between this, an excel spreadsheet and emails without getting caught out by the boss! haha It's during the week, and it will be just before I start work for the day, so I think the suit is the right...
