we have some "promo" ones ill start posting next week

actual customer suits from the first round of fittings in melb will arrive 1st/2nd week of May and ill get some pics together too

Awesome man, I'm looking forward to them.

Getting awfully frustrating trying to find that 'just right' shade of charcoal in a cut and style I like, OTR, that won't cost a fortune. I'm hoping you'll be able to alleviate this!

Lol, I think I had something very like that in the last 70s, reversible waistcoat and contrast second pair of pants. I still have one suit from that era I kept for fancy dress parties (not that I have any hope of getting in to it as I was a stick then) but sadly not that particular one.

im only gauging from the photo but it looks flat, stiff and lifeless imo. Perhaps a bad shot but im sure you can find something with more life

I need to learn those tricks.

I ordered a pair of glasses with an ultra high index but always felt uncomfortable due to what I now know is the chromatic aberration.


Tricks include decreasing the lens width and the lens size, mainly, so the frame width and style is important to get right. The discomfort you've had could be due to over correction. I was over corrected close to -2 dioptres and didn't realise I had a headache from ciliary muscle constant contraction. Important to get a cyclopegic refraction.

I think it's poor product photography. Same with the rest of the stuff on the HB site. Nothing "pops". Also the buttons look plastic-y.

I can gather where you are both coming from. HB really do need to bolster their online presence and advertising IMO.
