On wedding attire and changing shirts, my sis in law gets married in 3 weeks and I'm planning on doing exactly what FXH suggested with shirt change, but taking it a step further, mainly because while it's a local wedding we are staying at a hotel and my wife is in the party, so I'll need to have 2 suits for the baby spew patrol.

At this stage, afternoon will see a mid grey POW, light blue shirt, navy bowtie, silk PS and brown shoes and night time will see a white shirt, charcoal suit, black grenadine, black captoe's and a white PS. I'll have a few hours at the hotel to chill, shower and change in-between ceremony and reception luckily.

For outerwear, I get by with the following:

1) Tan mac for balmy to cool rainy days

2) Navy overcoat when it gets cold or cold and rainy

3) Navy windbreaker for casual wear on cool, but not cold days

4) Reversible (navy leather and tan suede) A-1 bomber jacket for casual wear on cold days

Weather never gets thaaaat cold in Sydney, so no flannel etc for me.

now this is where a gun flap on a trench comes in handy either that or a towel sown on to the shoulder

Sounds perfectly appropriate, Jason.

Have a good time there!

I went through a stage for around 5 years with little kids where I'd be at work sniffing my shoulders all morning and swearing I could smell kid spew. Became a nervous tic and I would smell the smell on reflex even when it wasn't there.

Pro tip: Carry a large clean hankie and throw it over shoulder when you carry kid.

No charge for advice this time.
Consider it a combined wedding/kid birth present.

^^ Yeah, and my shoes always smell like blended whiskey.

Very off topic... anyone got any suggestions for an restaurant/bar with a function room in Melbourne for an after work function, with the following requirements:

- finger food/standard bev package for 2 hours or so
- ~$50 a head.
- 30-40 people

Why prepared to pay for Aspesi?

The Circular Quay store has a mannequin dressed in a dark green jacket / pastel green trouser outfit. Looks very nice but not exactly a subtle look.

Yeah had a quick squiz on the website and there new stuff. A nice dark green moleskin looking SC but otherwise not much. Ties still look awful and overpriced. Sadly I think there direction is moving away from what a lot of us like them for.

P.S collar gap galore on the campaign on the website
