Thanks for the heads up. Adriano is on my list of places to check out. Will add Galati to the list also. What's sort of ball park price I can expect? i went to Adriano Carbone a while ago. i wouldn't come back, and i don't wear the suit he made anymore. the cutting wasn't just old-fashioned (low...- ricotta

I think that this is the third time that I've said this in the past 24 hours, but the VIP sale was a genuine 45% off, as the shop assistants simply added the additional 15% to the generally available 30% to obtain 45%, and then applied that as a discount. As an example, the shirt that I bought...- ricotta

it's more like 41% off.. (1 - 0.30)*(1 - 0.15) = (1 - 0.405) and yes, it was good. if you got 5 shirts that would've set you back just $85 per shirt.- ricotta

Most of their stores are in Italy, one in Spain, one in Melbourne and others slated for opening in NYC, LA, Brazil and China.

RM Williams recommends that you use it on leather saddles, so I dare say that you can use it on various leather goods to keep the leather supple and moisturised. I used it on the leather buckles on my Burberry trenchcoat without any problems. i finally picked up a tub the other day and it seems...- ricotta

ahh, what a shame was really looking at picking up a pair they said they could still source them.. i suspect an interstate order. still dearer than you would've paid through PLAL though when they sold C&Js.- ricotta

stopped by the Herringbone at Collins St Melbourne and found out a few things: - the Melbourne outlets aren't stocking Crockett and Jones as American Tailors got in first. on the upside, AT seems to have marked theirs down (possible in anticipation of incoming Gaziano and Girling stock). - HB...- ricotta

That's M&E Tailors. I went to them a bit in the past and they were very good, but they absolutely butchered some sleeve shortening work a couple of times. Twice they reattached the sleeve so that the placket was totally misaligned, about 90 degrees from where it should have been. I gave up on...- ricotta

I had a jacket altered at Katrina's and the work was fine. I read here somewhere that the female owner has taken a maternity break. The chap I dealt with didn't have great English. I've since used the alterations tailor under Narau House (sorry don't recall the name). Recommended. the guy at...- ricotta

jesbro: i've got 3 of those, and 4 of the plastic heeled ones. they're not bad i think since the cedar is still there in volumes, and iirc the point of the cedar is to neutralize the moisture/odor. does anyone know where to get decent shoe cream in melbourne? all the brands i hear about on SF...- ricotta
