Australian Members - Part II - if you read the first post, you'll get what this is all about.

A little left of centre - does anyone know of a tailor who can repair a hand-rolled silk pocket handkerchief? I have snagged the damn thing at some point along the line and one corner has come unrolled...

Happy New Year everyone!

I’m currently winding down a side hustle and I have about 100 pairs of brand new Bresciani socks I need to liquidate.

Willing to let go for -50% off RRP.

Send me a message too please!

I'd consider flying down to Sydney or something to check out suitsupply or something. Make a little boys trip out of it. I personally went with a pretty standard colour for my groomsmen so MJ Bale was fine.

Yeah was definitely something I’d consider doing re: SS. I’ll see what MJB options look like nowadays.

Seems like besides online vendors like spier McKay there’s not much more variety of options in Aus. But I guess the suit has less and less space for use in our culture so it’s not surprising.

Any recommendations for polo shirts?

Looking for plain and simple, no patterns, and decent fabric that will last more than a few washes.

Re polos, I just bought four Sunspels on sale and am pretty happy thus far.

The model that is most widely distributed is the Riviera - it is the one that they designed for James Bond (Quantum of Solace IIRC), but unless you have a Daniel Craig build it looks a bit dorky, especially as they've added a chest pocket for the retail model.

I have the pique model (https://www.sunspel.com/products/mens-cotton-pique-polo-shirt-black-mpol1028) which is a close analogue to a Uniqlo polo in terms of fit and cut (where Uniqlo excels), but it's pure cotton so it has a bit of give and breathes properly (at this, Uniqlo does not excel).

It is a fine pique, so a bit more dressy than sporty, and the colours are very British - you won't get a lime green or a bright orange or any other summery shades.

If you're in Melbourne, Standard Store in Gertrude Street has some in stock I believe. And, you can go across the road to Modern Classic to compare Aspesi's polos (slightly sportier, very limited colours).

Much appreciated @The False Prophet 👍

Anyone going to visit WW Chan when they are here in a few weeks?
Any idea of their current pricing?

Hey guys any suggestions for stores in Brisbane or online shops who sell decent range of ties? Budget $70-120. Besides Kent Wang?

If you want some Macclesfield prints second-hand, I can make you a very attractive offer on some Marinella, Cappelli, etc...
