Alright folks, hit me up with your store recommendations for a tie purchase in Sydney/Melb over the next week? I've got an event next Friday night (which rules out Vanda and most other global shipping options). Looking for a green grenadine, or a navy and white striped effort.

All suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Thank you, but was going for something a bit more up-market. Appreciated though.

Gents, thinking of going MTM (or bespoke) for my next suit. I'm based in Perth (for some of you with a long memory I used to post on here a bit). Been researching and have come across the following options:

Institchu
Ascot Tailors
Edward McCann

I know most of you are on the East Coast, so probably a bit of a long shot on opinions on these (did a search on here and didn't find much). From what I can tell Institchu is MIC, Ascot no idea, and Edward McCann is a local tailor. Cost isn't really a constraint.

Cheers, J

Wonderful, thanks guys.

Wonderful, thanks guys.

If you want to try HB I would suggest the Collins St store over the Sydney shop in O'Connell St. Much larger and it seems like a better range of ties across the two levels. Last time I visited they had a number of grenadines, not sure I've seen any in Sydney.

Yep, planning on swinging by their Collins St store later this afternoon. Anyone know how good/bad/indifferent the tie collection is at American Tailors before I hike my way over there?

They used to have Drake's ties, and one or two Italian brands. Not sure what their line-up is like now.

Can anyone remember the young suiting company what was all over Instagram a few months ago?

it wasn’t the Finery Company but had a similar feel. They had e-commerce and listed Loro piana fabrics if that helps.

I thought they were Sydney based. My mind is a sieve.

Woolcott St?

Woolcott St?

No, it was more “of the moment” than those guys. Thanks though.

Does anyone know if chain stitch jeans hemming is available in Brisbane? Google is giving me big fat zero...

came to the thread to ask the exact thing. Had a trip down to Melbourne and bought a pair of jeans from Corlection but now decided I don’t want any cuff.

did you decide on what you wanted to do?might be able to share shipping if sending jeans interstate from Brisbane

MIC is not a bad thing. But Institchu's MTM program is considerably limited in what it can achieve.
