Hi all,

Any recommendations for a place in Sydney that offers invisible mending without costing an arm and a leg? Got a small cigarette burn hole on a coat that I want to get fixed.

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone remember Blanchè

Jokes aside I dunno anyone in Sydney as I’m based in Perth but over here there’s a lady that will fix it for u for 60-70 per hole. My understanding is people over East send the good stuff for her to fix

Got a pair of size 12 chocolate brown oxfords (BNIB) from SuitSupply for sale if anyone's interested?

Yes it's called Meermin.

Australia doesn't have the customer base to support something like Meermin at those prices.

Stretch your budget a bit more and get Crockett & Jones. They will last you a very long time. I think Double Monk sells them for around $795 aud.

I second this... either visit Double Monk or go online. Lots of choices then: Carmina, Meerman, J Fitzpatrick (shoe snob’s brand) etc.

Alternatively, you could risk COVID, pop into DJs in the city and check if they’re still selling Loake shoes. Or maybe SuitSupply but those aren’t Goodyear Welted.
