Not sure if it was mentioned today or not but the MJ bale mid season sale is up.

Also anyone here have the 'Armidale Navy Weave' Bale suit and can comment on the colour? Is it dark navy, eg the sort of navy that can look almost black?

Cheers for the reply, that sounds dark enough. Im just trying to justify if its varied enough from the saunders weave to warrant a purchase.

If you already have the saunders and are after another navy I'd personally go the innerell (a lighter navy) or tumut (nailhead) for variety.

My decision making would be a lot easier if you just agreed with me on the Armidale :p Nah,cheers for the feedback, I hadn't looked at the Innervell before it could be a goer. I like the tumut but out of my size at the moment. Oh well those are non sale items anyway will wait till Wednesday and see what R&B have.

DB, here's a list of some of the sale prices:

http://gallery.mailchimp.com/99af464d4eaa16793a3ecdc60/images/Sep13_Sale_Text.jpg

The Sutor Mantelassi and Borrelli shoes were marked down to $295, which is utterly, absurdly cheap, but I don't think that they had many of them left. Still definitely worthwhile popping in for a look, though.

The Silvano Lattanzi schlong shoes were still quite expensive, at $1495 (marked down from an sphincter-puckering $5500).

Jesus those prices seem quite ridiculous. I that all stock? Anyone dropping in there personally able to check if they have any passable business shoes in a 10.5F? or long black belts? or any solid color ties?

ok maybe that's a bit much but decent sub $300 shoes are desperately needed.

Whoa great prices to be had! Any idea if they had a pair of single monk norvergese in dark brown in 9.5 uk : )

Might have to head in!

Its very dark imo


Looks English navy but not midnight blue... I find for everyday it's an extremely hard colour to wear in our sunlight as it's so dark.

It's definitely the quick or the dead sometimes!

Got an email from MJ Bale this morining about their discounted range / spring sale and clicked through. Saw teh Tobias jacket in tobacco for an easy $100 and in the time I pondered what I might wear it with the samned thing was sold out of my size!

That'll teach me to hesitate in the future! For that price I should have bought first and then pondered / bought something else to wear with it and I'd have still been ahead...

I agree, and interesting comment about the Australian light. It certainly does make that darker blue stand out (and shine) even more - like when you used to turn up the contrast knob on an old TV. It could be the basis of fxh's next post-doctoral thesis.

On MJ Bale and blue suits, I had a look at their latest Collection MIJ line and by my reckoning they have slimmed the block slightly. The Itoh, Kenzan and Kato are all very nice suits (the Senji wasn't in store).

Ovlov, I'm pretty sure that all of the Sutor Mantelassi shoes were in a regular width fitting, so there wouldn't be any "F" width (or "EE" or whatever they might be referred to as in Europe) fittings.

There were quite a few belts for sale, but most of them that I saw were either brown, or they were a combination of cloth and leather, with the majority being cloth or webbing, and the two ends being leather (crocodile leather, in fact).

There may have been some solid colour Borrelli ties for $95. I'll see if I can wander over at lunchtime today to have a look.

DB, I think that they used to have a pair of suede single monks by Sutor Mantelassi, but I'm not sure if they still do, and nor am I sure of the size.

If I do wander over to R&R today, I'll check to see what shoes they still have in stock and will let you know.

Unfortunately, stocks of shoes were fairly low at R&R before the sale even started, as they seemed to be letting their stock of Sutor Mantelassi and Borrelli shoes run down due to natural attrition, as they weren't ordering new models to replace the ones that were sold.
