Was relatively young actually, which further prompted me to think he might be an SF-ite.

Short, dark hair?

I thought that I recognised the overcoat, as he and I both purchased the same Isaia overcoats at the same time during a sale. I know that he's also got a pair of suede shoes like that, too.

Hmmm... I'll have to let him know that he's being spied upon!

GF - He used to be a member of a couple of clothing fora, but he never posted much.

Melburnians OUT restaurant in Shibuya is coming to town.
Thank you for your email, I am happy to hear you share a love for truffles and Led Zeppelin!

We will actually be doing a one night pop-up in Melbourne next month, so if you find yourself there on the 20th July please do let me know!

Can anyone recommend an alterations/repairs shop in Sydney conservative business dress that does a good job with suit pants repairs?

My usual place in the MLC appears to have closed down.

Not really helpful but I have a bespoke leather jacket maker in Perth that can do that if you’re ever in town

The suede one is 700 aud plus 100 for the wolf collar. The lambskin double rider at the bottom is 850 aud. I’m having her make me a linen safari jacket with suede trimmings atm. Bare in mind those are my prices and she may have different prices for different customers. I do supply my own linings and buttons which slightly brings down the cost. But all things considered, a fully bespoke leather jacket for less than a thousand dollars is a bargain...like you get a paper pattern and several fittings
