That's very unfortunate.
The only thing that I've ordered online from MJ Bale was a few polo shirts late last year and I had a very positive experience - they were shipped quickly, arrived in a couple of days, and everything was in place and accounted for.
Nice, must be Meermin's quickest ever delivery time. Most people don't even get an invoice in that time these days.
wow those meermin's are really nice mate. out of curiosity what colour belt are you wearing with yours? I'm wearing my AE strands for the first time today to work - fit like a gloveso, ordered some Meermin LM's last week and they arrived today....5 days from Mallorca They're lovely, easily the nicest pair of shoes I own.

Yeah I'm not a fan. They're always appallingly low on stock and inflexible with their deals. It's a shame, because they make some great stuff.
Altona Gate is close by - I'm going to pick up a boatload! Thanks for the head up!!!! Do you think they'll give me a discount if I buy more than one?
Oh Happy Day!
I have a couple of questions for you fine Australian SF members.
I'm off to MJ Bale in the oncoming days to buy a couple of suits. I heard a mention of a 2-for-$1400 deal for the high end quality suits, is this still/was it ever going? How's the quality of the 3-for-$150 ties, worth buying? Or should I just check out American Tailors $79 Drakes ties (if there is stock left)?
My most important question is, what should I be looking for in the fit of the suits? I have a quite slim frame, so I'm guessing I'll have to have alterations done, but what should definitely fit (shoulders and length of jacket?) and what can be easily tailored (sleeve and pants length and taper?)?
What are some starter colour ties for a navy and charcoal suit?
Does David Jones stock the Loake 1880 range, or just the standard Loake range?
Also, any recommendations for a decent tailor in Melbourne that will be able to alter my newly acquired suits?
Cheers if you guys can help me out with all, or any, of my queries.
If you're in Melbourne go to Azzaro - much better value than MJ suits IMHO. They use a tailor in South Yarra, Arthur Korderas, can recommend his work being very good.I have a couple of questions for you fine Australian SF members.

Will do, do they have any stockists in store? The website has a limited range.
