    Dinner Suit Hire in Sydney

    OK, so I need a dinner suit. I find it extremely hard to justify the purchase of one considering I've been working in corporate land for 15 years and invited to many parties, all of which have been 'lounge suit'. So hiring one seems to be the go - even though I'm loathed to, it does only seem...

    Men's shoes in Melbourne

    A friend is looking for black shoes in Melbourne - budget AUS$300-$400. I'm a big Allen Edmonds fan, but wouldn't know where to purchase those in Melbourne. I'm also not too knowledgable on other brands. May be looking for something a little more forward than some of the AE types. Any retail...

    So I'm getting married.. and I need a suit.

    My first thought was... yep, I'll get a new suit made up for the wedding. Then, I thought.. what's the consensus on suiting up for the groomsmen? I'm only having a best man, but we should be wearing the same gear, yes? Now, if I spring for a new suit, do I do so for the best man? Or does he...

    TM Lewin Shirt Cut

    What's the verdict on the cut of TM Lewin shirts? For OTR I tend to wear either a 41 or 42 depending on the maker. I've just picked up a few from Thomas Pink in a 41 and moved the top 3 buttons across and they've been great, yet say Farage (an Australian brand) are spot on in 41. So, how will...

    Where to start with shoes

    Plenty of talk about shoes, but where to start. I'm probably not looking in the right places, but am looking to buy a serious pair of shoes. The most serious I've been so far would be Hudson. We've got Bally and Lloyd as large brands, then there's all those talked about here, from Lobb, Tods...

    How long does it last?

    Here's a good question.. how long should something of quality last? Of course, it all depends in the frequency of wearing and so on... but I've got some MTM shirts dating back to 2000 that I'm still wearing. Just had a new collar put on one, but all are looking very nice. How often do I wear...
