    Excellent, I’ve been using him for years for basic to more complicated work, he’s the only one I would trust for anything more than hemming trousers or sewing on buttons. He’s also a lovely chap.

    Fly to Syd, go to PJohnson, SuitSupply or Luxius. Sure, you’d need to make two or three trips, but just make a note of several other cloths you like so you can order without making a trip in future (especially SuitSupply, they can load your final size profile after alternations on to the...

    Proper Cloth - Official Affiliate Thread

    How do you find it holds up to washing? The merino part of those concerns me that they will shrink or look…. different after washing?

    Proper Cloth - Official Affiliate Thread

    My last order (to Australia) arrived well ahead of the expected date range, coming via HK and Singapore, and before the fabric swatches I ordered at the same time. Of course the first of those swatches I decided to order as a shirt was discontinued in the meantime 🤦‍♂️

    Only those of us on SF think of semi-formal as black-tie. Most Australians take it to mean “not your worst pair of thongs or Crocs, but not your best pair either”. Personally I would ask the host what their expectation is nowadays.

    Apposta - Official Affiliate Thread

    Does anyone have any experience with copying Proper Cloth measurements over to Apposta? Their extreme range of choice of cloth compels me to give them a try, but I rarely have much luck in measuring my own shirts.

    I’ve used it several times in Sydney. Decent results for a suit, great results subsequently for jacket and trouser separates, bad results for a shirt. It does, to a degree, depend on the staff member, but the trick is to do as @Timmers said and ensure they don’t go too skinny and short. If...

    Suitsupply NYC

    How is this any of your business? Do you expect your local supermarket to explain why your favourite breakfast cereal had increased in price? Or your local petrol station to explain why it’s costing you more to fill your tank than it did yesterday? Why would a custom suit shop be any different?

    I don’t think you can compare shipping a pair of shoes by air to construction materials.

    How would you compare the fit of Rod to Elton? Like you I couldn’t get Hiro to work for me, but Elton is acceptable.

    The Sydney store currently has a modest selection of Drakes ties (I was there in Fri making some other purchases and can’t resist browsing through the ties).
