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

Not sure, how much do PJ want to charge for it?

I had a very good friend of mine get married over the weekend. The suit was P Johnson MTM. A tuxedo, actually. While the jacket's fit and cut were fine, I found the legs on the trousers too narrow and disproportionate to the arms and the chest of the jacket. A bit disappointed.

Damn - I left while this legend was still playing!...

We really missed a trick with this new thread. Big time.

'Guys - what's up with the Shoes here?' is one of the great opening lines. Right up there with the first lines of Seinfeld - 'See, now to me, that button is in the worst possible spot.'

New thread is great.

Where do you guys normally buy your ties for work from? Prices at the usual suspects vary greatly and even so, I feel funny paying $50+ for a tie.

Seriously, op shops. Here is my most recent haul:

Clockwise from top: Harvie & Hudson grenadine, T&A, T&A, T&A, Herringbone Made in Italy. All $2 each.

Regarding the cardigan with collared shirt and no tie, my shirts are cutaway or semi- cutaway. I think it might look dorky with the collar flapping out, aka Bing Crosby playing golf (although I do love his singing).

solid haul CD. T&A ties are rare as hens teeth here in Sydney. I have more luck with Hermes ties..

Well since the threads new and all i hope to be a part of the active community =] Though my next post will most likely be in 2 weeks regarding a "bespoke" haircut with Rob Mason from Morris Motley and my review of him, and then a few days later my first ever Bespoke suit should come in which ill write a full review for for Mr Charles Maimone.

Stay Classy Gentleman

Looking forward to reading about Morris Motley, been looking to go there at some point.

Got a T&A shirt in my size at the same place, as well. Good day.

Guys - what's up with the Shoes here?

Some of the Fugliest shoes I have ever seen. Everything is pointed and 'Gondola' shaped.
I even walked past a guy in the Melbourne conservative business dress yesterday in a white pair, with a black suit.
Some scarey ****.

And don't get me started on them hobo beards - is there a razor blade shortage hereor something?

Sadly, shoes in Australia are hideously designed and shockingly overpriced. Most men think that Aquila is the height of fashion and that shoes with twin seams running to a peculiarly shaped toe are elegant and desirable. Yes, I've seen quite a few fellows wearing white shoes with suits. I thought that went out with the 1980s, along with gold chains and wide collared, open-necked shirts but it appears that they are making a comeback...

 

[Foxhound]

I still remember years ago when buying my suit for my Year 12 formal, and my mates laughing at me for not buying Aquilla, which were 'the best in the world', and for going for Meermin instead.

Oh, oh. This is all a bit too meta for me.
