    The further decline in Aussie menswear? Henry Bucks...

    As fellow staff are being laid off in droves in my profession amid the deteriorating financial markets, one's thoughts turn to other (more controversial?) diversions. Like mail order clothing catalogues! So, what has happened to Henry Bucks? In years gone by this was the paragon of classic and...

    Honk Kong clothing and shoe recommendations?

    I'll be spending several weeks in Burgundy, Champagne, Alsace, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer/Nahe and on the return leg in October will have ample time in Hong Kong to do some shopping. It's more than likely my suitcase will be stuffed with rare grand cru bottles of Mugnier, Roumier, Dugat-Py, Rousseau...

    Armani's master tailor in Australia for sumisura

    I'm not an Armani fan at all (Ok own a Classico suit and a pair of undies) but some may find interest in this: SARTORIAL types in Sydney should pick up the phone today (Wednesday, April 9) to secure an appointment with Giorgio Armani's master tailor, who is visiting Australia from Italy this...

    Which one: Wing Chun Kung-Fu Vs. Kyokushinkai Karate?

    Have the option of doing both these martial arts as they are within 1km of my workplace. What are the differences between both? Primarily want to do them for fitness rather than fighting and will probably attend introductory classes for both to see which I prefer but interested in other...

    Best Drycleaners in Sydney conservative business dress?

    Have had a lot of bad experiences with Sydney conservative business dress drycleaners, particluarly the chop-shop franchises like Maurice, TLC and Lawrence's. In fact I would go so far to say that not once have I had something returned to me that there wasn't something wrong with it, like missing buttons, folded...

    Correct length of WOMEN'S suit jacket cuffs/sleeves?

    My female friend has several suits of varying sleeve lengths. Some are way to long at half way down my wrist; others are at base of thumb/bottom of wrist bone. What is the correct length for women's sut jacket sleeeves pls as every tailor I speak to has differing opinions? My understanding the...

    Kiton Ties

    (1) Do Kiton ONLY make 7-fold (or variations thereof like 4,6 and 9 -fold) ties? I have never seen any "standard" non-fold Kiton ties? (2) Why are there two linings on Kiton ties? Some linings are the same material as the main body fabric (self tipped); others have a totally different...

    Vents on outside trouser legs?

    Walking in the Sydney conservative business dress over the past couple of weeks I have seen no less than 5 people wearing suits with trousers that have a 5cm high V-shaped vent on the outside trouser leg at the cuff (none on the inside cuff). Is this something new? looks weird and I m not sure whether or not I like it...

    Kiton "k" super 200 custom-made suits

    With Luca and Antonia Mettias from Kiton in Australia for the annual Kiton roadshow, I was wondering about the comparable overseas prices for Kiton's "K" suit, listed as a 14 micron Super200 merino wool, made on a mannequin custom-made to the client's measurements. Total time of construction of...

    Unlined pants vs lined pants

    With over 30 suits in my wardrobe, worn over a decade, I have come to the conclusion of really preferring my pants unlined. The feel of the lovely fabric against my thigh, the way it "sits" and holds together (doesn't bunch) and the natural "hang" seems far more advantageous...

    Designer fakes on ebay

    Given the previous thread on the authenticity or fake identity of the Versace tie, I though it would be a good topic to discuss fakes on eBay (and there are plenty). I was once bitten by buying Gucci jeans that turned out to be fake.   I was sooo p/off 3 years ago when I bought...

    Puckered collars on suit jackets?

    Noticed recently in Intolerable Cruelty that most of George Clooney's jackets collars were "puckered" (not sure if this is the term but sort of bubbled) around the seams and not ironed out . And I presume he was wearing quality suits. I have also seen this on upmarket suits from Zegna...

    Removal of texta line from label?

    I bought an item off eBay and it has a red texta line through the label (a sale item no doubt.). I took it to a dry cleaner and they said they could not remove texta marks. Does anyone know how to remove these marks? Can I do it myself or should I seek out a professional tailor and / or...

    Ruined suit?

    Many years ago I had a Canali light grey suit's sleeves taken in by one inch. Problem was it was taken in by the sleeve end not the shoulder end.  So the micro-holes from the original button hole stitch still show as the sleeve buttons were moved up the sleeve. Any way to flatten or eradicate...

    One of my fave Zegna suits has the Taglia Exclusivo (not sure of spelling) tag. Can someone pls tell me a bit about this line? The fabric feels really soft - is it a super fine wool line? Where does it sit in the pantheon of Zegna suits. TIA.
