Ok guys the votes are in and the majority went to the Striped Grenadine (no surprise). First votes were given a full vote and second choice half a vote.

Grenadine - 15 votes
Macclesfield - 7.5 votes
Tussah - 4.5 votes
Shantung - 3.5 votes

Over the coming day or so I'll post some options for the stripes and we can narrow that and colours down and get something happening. We also need to decide on whether Henry the Wombat gets another run with the embroidery or if we make up an AM symbol.

Thanks to everyone who voted.


Great result in the Rugby last night. Odds on for a Brumbies V Tahs final?

It was, though I didn't stay up to watch the game after being up 5.30am on sat. Might see if there is a replay on fox tonight though.

Hoping if we make it to the final then it'll be someone other than the tah's purely due to wanting the brumbies to win it!

Hello,

Anyone got any updates on where to try & buy Alden boots in Sydney?? Would love to try on a pair of Alden Indy CXL's in Black before buying.

I'll be interested to know what you got. I'm thinking about a dark navy blue. How should the style and fit differ from a regular suit jacket?

Prefer the AM symbol, too bad Macclesfield came second. Can't wait for Jason to sprovide some choices for the stripes.

Haha! Typical my last choice comes first. Not sold on striped grenadine yet but look forward to seeing how it turns out. I liked the sound of navy, green and gold.

Went to the Wear for Success sale on Friday night. My wife and sister both found a few things. And, for $5 each, I got a Lanvin green tie and this Aspesi shirt - http://www.aspesi.com/on/demandware...54201031&cgid=&prefn1=&prefv1=&prefn2=&prefv2

400


Great result and, as a bonus, got a good chinwag with Mr Sexy Ankles himself, fxh.

Is Suitshop better than Montagio or Institchu? They are all located within 500m of each other in the Sydney conservative business dress, but have no idea which is the better choice!! Thanks

I'm a fan but not diehard enough to get up and watch it at 1am after nebulous Bundy & Black Death with a mate. Do remember the Highlands V Chief's game.

Watched the Brumbies replay this afternoon think Henry Speight could be **** over a carless tackle.

Saturday night will be big, two games of Kiwis V Oz. I can live with the Tah's winning if the Brumbies fail to make it through, mind you Mrs GF is a Tah's fan.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the only place that sells Aldens in the whole of Australia is Double Monk in Melbourne, and they only started carrying them recently.

Also, if looking to order from overseas, be aware that quite a few websites won't ship Aldens outside the US as Alden doesn't let them.
