I don't like the theme song to QoS as well.

I preferred Quantum of Solace

Hi, does anyone know where i can source a decent cufflinks organiser? Something that holds ~ 5 pairs and costs <$50.

I didn't. Was too much like the Jason Bourne movies. Too much action that was shot with a shaky cam. You couldn't tell what was going on half the time! Not the Bond style. Hopefully the next in the series will be better.

And I like Eva Green as a Bond girl better than Olga Kurlyenko and Gemma Arterton.

Guys

Thanks for the feedback on Herringbone. I stopped by the Collins Place store today. Unfortunately no short brunette SA in attendance, but a nice range of suits in gray's and navy's. I will take a better look there in a week or so when I have a bit more time and money to spend.

The brunette now works at the David Jones 'shop'. The two girls now at their Collins St stores don't fill me with confidence but the guy seems to be more helpful.

I tried on their single button, peak lapel grey suit y'day but decided not to buy it as I fell in between a 36 and 38.

Thanks. I'll take a look in DJ's next week. I have stopped by there before, but they never seem to have much of a range if HB suits any time I have been there. The range was what I liked about the Colins Place store, but a good SA that can help me with fit and suggest alterations is pretty important too.

Awful.... Their little shop in paddington is quite nice though, just the stock sucks.

They really cater to the gay/fashion crown of Sydney though not the guys like us.

Agreed. Walked in there one day for a look. Once I saw the plethora of Alligator skin, I knew it wasn't for me....

Thanks fellas for your response.

The Collins Place store has a male SA and he seems to get involved with pinning / altering suits so I'd time it for him to be there when you do decide to purchase. I'm happy with the way he altered my shirts.

I was planning on going that night. I already sorted out my schedule, what time I start work, leave work, etc. And then I was sent out to a client and by the time I arrived at Incu they've closed off the queue. Damn!

Did they have good stuff?
