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

    First time on the new thread - did a quick search and it doesn't look like it has been mentioned. So it looks like SuSu has finally scoped out a store location in Sydney, will be interesting to see what happens when they arrive - I'm keen on checking out their MTM program (might give PJT, OH...

    Suitsupply NYC

    Hi guys, Figured I would ask for some advice, before going through the hassle of buying and returning more SuSu suits - I can't try them on at a store either, as nothing has opened up in Australia yet. So, I've been wearing Napoli's for 2-3 years now and they fit me almost perfectly - Size...

    I heard they were opening here when I spoke to the sales assistant at Brent Wilson, but I haven't found any news of this? Just put through a few more orders... I'm just hoping the Havana will fit, though I'll have to return one (size 46 sleeves will be too long or size 23, waist will be too...

    Just saw this myself and dropped an order on the Havana separates - wonder if this is a permanent fixture? I'm waiting for a new credit card to come through, but tempted to buy it all now in the event it goes back to USD pricing! Maybe, I'll just order everything and refund it - not sure if it...

    Thanks for that, I didn't manage to get any details (not that he was obliged to disclose) - though an indicative re-opening date would have been nice.

    Thanks for the comprehensive reply, will have to keep that post as reference somewhere - I think I'm across most of the points already, thankfully. The only bad thing I do with my suits, is that I just tend to throw them onto a chair when I'm home instead of hanging them properly! I think my...

     Thanks for the links. I always thought fabric was the biggest factor with wear around the fork. However, when I was chatting to Nick from SuitShop he was telling me that fit is probably more important - I was only really after VBC 110, but he told me due to the weave that he actually...

    I have disproportionately sized quads (aka fat), so the fabric wore out - I probably should have gotten bigger silk saddles put in, but that probably would have only slowed down the process marginally. One pair of trousers has already been repaired before, the other pair could still be used if...

    Just had two suitsupply suits break on me, unfortunately they didn't last as long as I expected for suits that I wear once a week :( If only they sold pant separates (apart from the 3 suits in the new season), I could salvage both jackets. It seems like I'll have to venture down the MTM path...

    So, I finally ended up purchasing my first pair of "proper" shoes in the form of a pair of Loakes from Pediwear. Unfortunately, they seem a size too small (the UK6 seems to have come out as a EU39 instead of 40), perils of purchasing onine as a newbie. Hopefully, my next pair will end up being...

    Sorry guys, another silly question from me but I was wondering what the consensus on Church's was? Particularly, as there are rather conflicting views about the brand post-Prada acquisition of them. Lots of shoe questions, but the more I read and research, the harder it is to narrow down my...

    Thanks mate, it certainly gave a bit more flavour to things. I had read that Barker was meant to be pretty good, so your response about Loake was helpful. I think I'll probably just email Herring about them, as I can't find that much online about those two products specifically. I knew about...

    So I'm once again seeking some enlightened advice from here - without being able to see the Herrings in person it is a bit hard to determine what to buy. As my first pair I may as well be conservative, but I'm unsure as to the difference between these two: -...

    No hard feelings at all, like I said shoes are probably the remaining neglected component of my wardrobe I haven't bothered with until now. Apologies if this is meant to be obvious, but I would be keen to understand why using Dainites seems like a massive folly? I had a pair with Danite made...

    Thanks Osiris, I'm flexible with the price if the value is there - I haven't done enough reading to form that view yet. I've learnt the hard way that I may as well pay the premium from the get-go rather than going full circle after going for a cheaper option. As for basic shoe care, I already...

    Thanks for that, the BS at the beginning was still useful for someone like me. While I'm not quite as sartorially inclined and savvy as you lot, most of my wardrobe is probably headed in the right direction, with the exception of my shoes (which I've neglected to learn much about). I might...

    I did a quick search of this thread, but didn't have time to sift through all the responses. I was just wondering what the general consensus on Florsheim shoes were? I actually have quite a few imperial and royal imperials that I have picked up during various 30-50% sales. Unfortunately, I...

    Tailor in suit alteration in Sydney and thoughts on MJ Bale

    I've tried a lot of different places and have yet to settle on a tailor that consistently delivers or is at a reasonable price point. Hayel & Sons: workmanship has been good, though one of my trousers was a bit botched when Mohammed handled it rather than Hayel. Pricing is a bit on the pricier...

    The Watch Appreciation Thread (Reviews and Photos of Men's Timepieces by Rolex, Patek Philippe, Brei

    Zenith is my favourite watch brand, but I'm not a huge fan of this particularly dial (e.g. placement of the date window, off centred logo). Also, if it is going to be your only Zenith I think consideration should be given to a model using the El Primero movement.

    The Hong Kong Tailors Thread

    I actually dropped by today, as I'm back in HK for a week - though the usual suspects were out today. Dan compared a number of the measurements from a shirt I brought with me from Peter. Hopefully, we can nail down these next set of shirts and get the fit spot on. I was still a bit confused...
