Sydney supposedly. Heard a few weeks back.
Was interested in Suit Supply, but last I checked, their sizing starts at 38...wtf.
haha, if that doesn't convince you this new addition to their collection should
I don't think MJ Bale deserve flack for these bold pattern choices. C'mon, you're giving them flack for this then you give them flack for recycling the same old POW suits every Autumn. I am all for fun fabrics options. On something unrelated: When the hell did SF sell themselves out? It used to be just ad banners from direct affiliates, now it's random google ad banners all over the place.

I just think they need to rejigg their marketing and campaign launches a bit, I mean suit supply don't do too much different, they stick with classics but with different seasonal colours and materials but a) all the pieces are well modelled and styled together and b) they have crazy campaigns but it gets attention and does the job without having to resort to creating out there pieces which do nothing but get people questioning if MJB know what they are doing anymore.

Yeah, instead SS indulges in revolting and overtly sexist advertising that is, in of itself, an ethical clusterfuck.

That's the internet, consensus for you or just not being able to make everyone happy, I have no problems with more Navy or pow cut in different styles or re-used, where as this I think lends itself to a sartorial wtf.

Again, bit of a can't please everyone thing, for me sexism implies an inequality or discrimination aspect to it, SS marketing is more a kin to the notion that sex sells and or the market association for consumers that dressing well will get naked women in your pool...apparently.

Apparently current design is a 4zip moto, as far as I can tell, standard sizes, but customizable options like leather, lining? Hopefully they allow length changes or I'll be SOL. Should keep a watch over the Vanson collabs too. Trial jackets for the rider should be in within the month, I believe.

I'm not really interested in Suit Supply - I feel Australia is spoilt for choice when it comes to suits.

It's shoos we need.

Look at those images and tell me they aren't incredibly demeaning and play into vile and outdated notions of power, sex, domination and wealth. The advertisements go beyond the usual 'sex sells' smarm and become derogatory and hideous.
