    Project Management Thread

    The PM overseeing my current project starts at 8.00am, leaves at 5.30pm. We've been hitting all our deadlines and are looking on track to wrap up on schedule. Former PM was often staying up until 1.00am getting involved in the minutiae. Seems that if you can distance yourself from the small...

    Recommendations sought - start up neckwear designers

    Bow ties? The Cordial Churchman Carrot & Gibbs More looking for neckties, however those are both fantastic examples (and I notice that Churchman did have some neckties also). Thanks for the suggestions so far, please keep them coming!

    Recommendations sought - start up neckwear designers

    To what end? Purchase? Emulate? Valid question, should've specified. Purchase. Just looking for something that is unique and fresh. I'd rather my hard earned go to somebody who's has a great idea and is trying to get it off the ground than some tired industry behemoth.

    Recommendations sought - start up neckwear designers

    Seeking recommendations for startup mens' neckwear designers. Anything with a website/online store would be highly appreciated. Pierrepont Hicks and co.807 are two examples I've come across in the past (though does not have to be US based). Greatly appreciative of any insights.

    Bespoke suits tailored remotely (overseas)?

    I wouldn't do it, too many things can wrong. You better off paying the extra and getting the suits in Sydney. I had considered that as well - would be great to knock on P Johnson's door. Whilst the wedding won't be budget, I know the groom is looking to minimise costs where possible. Thanks all...

    Bespoke suits tailored remotely (overseas)?

    I'm in the bridal party for a wedding in December, and am in charge of organising the suits. I typically balk at rentals, and wanted to avoid mass market OTR or the high cost of MTM in Australia. I've had several bespoke suits tailored for me whilst I was in India on business last year...

    Australian Members

    Just popped into the HBone outlet at Surry Hills during lunch. Ties are... $30 at present! Got me a nice reversible navy-brown knit! Score - much of a range in the knit ties? I went there once about 18 months ago... it was pretty slim pickins', that's for sure.

    Moving to Singapore from brisbane for career

    Hey guys, got some great advice on this board over the years. I'm an in-house lawyer with about 5 years experience and not really going anywhere due to resume not having any "brand names" on it. But I get paid decent and have a great life here. I was casually looking and I've been offered a 12...

    Employment Law: Employer Falsifying Employee Records

    +1 on the journal. If it comes to it, the more proactive you are when compiling your own records, the better. If he makes any comments again, I would slip in a reference to the fact you are keeping your own records, "just in case a similar accident happens again". Good luck.

    How to quit?

    It's a small world dude. As long as you didn't t burn your bridges (which sounds like the case) and you'll likely cross paths again. Take it as a positive that they actually wanted to go to lengths to keep you.

    How to tell someone they are not welcome in my home alone

    I'm in the same boat. I love having my best friends/family over, but I've actually had one of my best friends (who's gay) stay over and I accidentally walked in on man on man sex in the guest room bathroom (I store all the extra toilet paper/razor refills/q tips in there)... three days later my...

    Outdoor Shakespeare for the uninitiated

    Thanks for that. I figure Midsummer would probably be the more popular one (given the garden setting). The productions aren't until late March, so I'll have some time to read one/both of the plays beforehand.

    How to quit?

    How about whom do I tell? Do I tell the Managing Director (i.e. very senior position) with whom I work the closest, or the head of the group, who is technically my boss but much less involved in my day-to-day work (though he's still only ~20 feet away)? Here's how I've handled a similar...

    Outdoor Shakespeare for the uninitiated

    Have the option of attending one of two outdoor Shakespeare plays (in a botanical garden setting), A Midsummer Night's Dream or As You Like It. Haven't seen/read either of them. Which would you recommend? Also - would be taking the girlfriend.

    Frank Gehry to Design a Building in Sydney

    I'm pleased to say that the UTS building won't be anywhere near the 'picturesque' parts of Sydney; rather it'll be tucked away in some little armpit-like nook where people passing by will only have a few brief moments to gasp before moving on to somewhere better.

    Movember - One month with a moustache

    For 30 glorious days of the year, I have the pleasure of growing a society-sanctioned moustache for charity. The commencement, November 1, is rapidly approaching. However, I am at a loss as to which mo' to sport this year. In previous years, I have gone for the trucker and the creepy neighbour...

    Overcoat with reversed buttons : acceptable for a man?

    Does this have anything to do with how the water goes down the drain the opposite way? Professor Jimmy Coriolis would be spinning in his grave.

    suit advice for big guy

    This thing is turning into an AA meeting for Big n' Talls. As to whether flannel is acceptable year round, I'd say it'd be more dictated by climate than by fashion. I agree with MichaelAy's comments about venturing into the super high thread counts with trepidation.

    'best man' at a wedding

    Quick painless solution: if you want to be a good friend to your buddy the groom, you'll shave it just to save him the headache of having to hear about your facial hair from his fiance from now until the wedding. or till the bitter end.

    suit advice for big guy

    Welcome Grov. 6'2, 260 here, and just had two suits MTM myself. Re the fabric options, pics would help a lot. But I would say that at your height, generally anything with a loud vertical stripe (say, no. 3) will really exaggerate your height - unless that's what you're going for. Personally...
