If cost isn’t a constraint then book a couple of flights to Syd or Melb and go to one of the better, more trusted vendors Free holiday included.

i'm actually going to institchu in a fortnight for a shirt, but not expecting much.

Looking to pick up a natural veg tan leather belt to go with jeans. Keen to get the honeyed patina. Any recommendations on who might be making them in Aus? See quite a few on Etsy but don’t really know who is using quality leather.

Did you have a budget and particular natural veg in mind? I'm part of the Aussie leatherworking community so I know quite a few people who could do it for you.

https://www.kieranthecobbler.com/product-page/ocean-side-leather-belt for example could do Hermann Oak, Horween Essex, or Wickett and Craig. He could probably even do Bakers if your budget stretches that far.

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

I' got a couple of pairs of chino's made by them in Jan. You're right to keep your expectations where they are.

The Starbucks of tailoring.

Happy to pay $80-120 for something solid. My only decent belt is an Equus Bakers oak bridle leather.

That’s a damn fine belt.

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.

Awesome thanks mate, I'll check them out.

Yeah I do love the Equus belt with the stitched construction - honestly feels like the belt will out live me. Do you have any thoughts regarding the rivet vs stitched construction in terms of function/longevity?

In terms of function and structural integrity, rivets are just as strong as stitching. The cases where they would have a difference are very much fringe - stitching weaker if constantly abraded. Rivets weaker if they were the wrong size or are constantly being pulled apart
