Not sure if all their suits are, but the 2 I got are definitely fully canvassed. This was confirmed by a tailor when I brought my suits in for alterations. I suspect that they have suits with varying ranges of quality as I have noticed that not all their suits have horn buttons, but mine do.

Yes I do - and can say pretty confidently the sizing is very similar between Loake and CJ, depending of course on comparing similar shape and style.[/quote]

Agreed. I own loake on the 026 and a CJ on the 348. 026 is roomier, but i take the same size in both

I believe he meant no to your second question, which is the correct response.

Given the quality, the design and the fabrics, they're well-priced, particularly given the Australian market.

has anybody in brisbane been to richards and richards yet - it is pretty good, borrelli, isaia, faconnable. shoes they have sutor and silvano lattanzi. one pair of lattanzis is a whiskey wholecut with an engraved "cock and balls" on the inner leg (medial) side of the vamp at the level of top eyelet - bizarre. worth the trip for that alone. the borrelli shirts are $395 (smaller buttons but handwork everywhere - didn't think they were doing that anymore), they have some isaia and borrelli SCs for 1000 on sale and the isaia suits start around $3000 - not awful full retail prices for oz, i will definately head back around saletime.

Last seasons shorts for $50.
Some wool and cotton cardigans for $100.
Lots of shirts in size L -> XXL for $70 - $120.

One tan with lavender highlights glen plaid odd jacket in in size 36 for $199.
Lots of seasonal suits, mostly in pinstripes and windowpanes for $599 - mostly size 42+.

I snapped a few pictures of the available ties when I was there on the week end for my interstate mates.

They go on sale to under $1000. A mate of mine bought one in the summer sale. I haven't seen it first hand yet.

Am I the only one who finds their slimfit shirts not very slim?

Sorry mate, was running out of the office and it was in response to the second question.

Correct and thanks.

I think that if someone was to buy Herringbones better stock (i.e. the classics) in sizes 38-42 and flip them on the forum they could make a very good little side profit.

Sighting?
Dark suit, pink patterned tie and wide brim Fedora (I think) walking south down Bank Place this morning. SF in the wild?

Brando = Be Brando?
If so, from pictures they look glued...

Luxury is booming: http://www.news.com.au/business/boom...-1226034476874 I walked passed the new Canali store in Hay St Perth which is amazing. Its next to Hugo Boss and Versace. I never knew we had these brands here in Perth.

__PG__ · Apr 5, 2011

I visited the Canali store in Sydney when I visited in November and was very impressed with the range. The front half of the store is all casual wear..sports jackets galore in interesting fabrics (wool, linen, silk etc) and great colours (it was the summer range) and lots of nice shirts.

The back half of the store ...whilst full of standard-fare corporate suiting..also had some lovely linen suits..a few double breasted etc.

Shame about the prices!

What is the Perth store like? Full of charcoal grey work suits or a bit more variety?

Does anyone get the JH Cutler email? If not, here is an excerpt from today's email.

Autumn Tie Sale from $100

To give you the opportunity to experience the enjoyment of owning and wearing some of the very best silk ties in the world, I am offering my clients, for a limited time only, the chance to purchase Stefano Ricci and Dormeuil pure silk ties at greatly reduced prices.

Florence based Stefano Ricci is considered by many to be the leading tie designer in the world. I have an extensive range of his ties that normally retail for between $380 and $425 available for just $250 each.

The French fashion house Dormeuil has been at the forefront of men and women's fashion since 1842. I have 100 of their silk ties available on a first come first served basis at $100 each.

At these prices demand is sure to be brisk so I suggest you call into our showroom on the 6th floor of 12 O'Connell Street as soon as you can. During your visit you might also like to have a look at other fashion accessories that we have in stock including Italian leather belts, socks, cufflinks, braces and Irish linen handkerchiefs.
