g'day all
i am after a few pocket squares, what are some places to get some in melbourne?

aKula · Jun 4, 2009

Henry Bucks has a plain white linen handkerchief with hand rolled edges for $15.

What? I must've missed it last time.
Although I saw some Etro ones for $135

DJs has a few very unimpressive ones as well.

I actually picked up some plain cotton ones in Sky Blue, White and Pink, from Target for $6. Granted they aren't linen but they work pretty well in a tvfold.

This thread contains precious little discussion of RM Williams. They are simply the finest shoe (boot, whatever) that can be found in person, in most Australian cities. And they're the best VFM too. $300 for goodyear welted (by hand no less) whole-cut chelseas. They look awesome and are as comfortable as hell. And if you get the comfort version, you'll probably wear out before any part of the shoe does.

There is a massive thread encompassing all things RM Williams.

+1.

Howard Yount, run by SF member chorse123: http://www.howardyount.com/collections/pocket-squares

The inimitable Mr Wang's website (I have a few and they are excellent quality and great value for money):
http://www.kentwang.com/catalog.php

And you could also try Sierra Trading Post. Do a search for "pocket squares", stock varies depending on timing, but I've bought some nice, silk Altea pocket squares. Shipping can be expensive:

Back in Australia, Herringbone often stock nice pocket squares in a variety of patterns in cotton, linen and silk. Availability varies depending on store and season, but I've picked up a few nice ones including a navy silk square with small, white dots.

What's the price range of the Herringbone ones?

I can't remember precisely, but off the top of my head, they cost from $50 to $60 or more.

Not cheap, but they are very nice quality and they have some classic designs (well, they did, I don't know what might still be in stock).

Also, the price isn't too bad when you compare the AU/US$ exchange rate and the cost of shipping from overseas in some cases (with the notable exception of Kent Wang, who only charges US$1 for overseas shipping).

This week i went to Henry Buck in Melbourne to see their range of Edward Green shoes . There were about five different styles on show.The only model i could recognise was the Beaulieu . On inquiry, i was informed that the price was $1995AUS. DOLLARS. That equals $1620 USD,1154 EURO and 984 BRITISH POUND. Any idea of prices of these shoes in other countries?
