     Oddly enough, I popped into Azzaro yesterday too. Oh. My. Goodness. It took me all my energy not to walk out with half the shop. I just bought a Canali tie .. possibly one the the nicest ties I've ever seen and I just had to have it. I'm planning on going back today for a shirt or...

    Had a bit of a wtf moment yesterday. I went to an op shop yesterday (just to browse) and found a pair of trousers that were identical to another pair of trousers that I'd thrifted a few months back, right down to the size. Now, if if they were something like PRL 'Andrew' chinos (I have 4 pairs...

     I have a vague recollection of this discussion in this very thread a while back. I recall something along the lines of the advice for potential PA/FA buyers was to go half a size smaller and a size wider than one's usual size. For what it's worth, I have both a high instep and a pair of...

     The two times I've bought a suit from a menswear store, I've ended up with a suit that fits OK ... apart from the jacket sleeves being too long and the SA not bothering to suggest shortening the sleeves. It was the same SA both times. I was young and didn't know any better...

     J. Izzo, Hindley St. He handles my alterations for me. Not the quickest, but he takes care and charges a very reasonable price.

    Anybody else only wear their ties four-in-hand? Can one get by with only this style?

    I can't do anything else other than a four-in-hand. :embar: I've tried doing windsors and half-windsors, but I can never manage to get them to work. When I need a bigger knot, I tend to do a double four-in-hand.

    How do you store your ties??

    I roll them up and store them in one of these: http://www.ikea.com/aa/en/catalog/products/80193387/ I fit approximately 5-6 ties in each compartment and it hangs in my closet.

     I'd certainly like to source some Saphir products. How much would shipping be from Valmour? Would it be cheaper/easier to source from the US, maybe through one of the SF affiliates? Maybe some other Australian gentlemen with experience in all things Saphir would like to chime in at this...

     Hope you have a speedy recovery! If nothing else, it's one heck of a story to tell the grandkids ... R&B is one of the very few brands of shirt that fits me well. Again, you'd have to be nuts to pay full price. When I hit Sydney next month, I will have no choice but to go to the...

     Welcome back! Thanks for the heads up re: Peter Shearer. I bought my first suit from there about 7 years ago; a Cambridge. I have a vague recollection of the sales associate describing it as superior to cheaper suits as it had a floating later of horse hair in the lapels rather than...

     I think it's just me and Prof B. Bear, and he's gone AWOL. There used to be some other dude whose name escapes me, but he left Adelaide years ago. Lloyd? Ewww. If you must have Lloyd, I'm pretty sure Lana Lang Shoes in the Central Market sell those. But really ... why would you want...

     I'll see your Roger Mellie and raise you a Johnny Fartpants. As for SW&D ... yikes. That is all.

     I guess that's what cars are for. But often, one ends up with little bits of shrapnel through one's travels. Whilst I prefer to use plastic so I have a paper trail when I conduct my monthly financial post-mortem, it is inevitable that incidental expenses will require cash. It is also...

     Maybe it's just me, but I find the notion of money clips just a tad vulgar. That said, I'm the kind of guy that insists his wallets have a coin compartment. Maybe that just makes me a commoner?
