Epaulet has further 30% off sale code 30%offsale. Ordered the camo field jacket for $107 usd shipped. Ordered small, will still try to put it over a suit; if possible at all.

The Eidos piece is definitely a lot pricier even on sale. Very very nice, though

The Epaulet jacket looks to be really good value and that camo is not in your face so it looks to be pretty wearable. I'm not sure why they would remove the hood but keep the zip on the collar. though.

Hi all, I'm looking to buy my first proper suit and after much lurking it seems Herman Bros is the recommended choice for something mtm that is sub $1k. I'm just wondering if he is still operating as I have emailed twice trying to book a time but received no replies. Perhaps I violated some tailor etiquette by mentioning I'm new to formal clothing and been vague with what I'm looking for? Either way I'm just wondering if anyone else has being in touch recently and what should I put in the email to arrange an appointment.
Thank you

Kimber jacket sold out in my size (thank god). It's still very expensive option. Thanks Gerry for your view on the Camo pattern. Didn't find many pictures of this jacket in action. At $140 aud shipped- told myself what the heck!

md2010, I think you have a field jacket addiction, mate!

Everyone else, just want to say that Stranger Things is so so so good. Well done, Netflix! Pure 80's Nostalgia! 8 binge-able episodes =)

Olympic Opening Ceremony : surely Hamish McLachlan has the most ill-fitting suits and too long cuffs in the business...aren't there wardrobe people employed to sort this stuff out!? Discuss ..

@iSurg yes stranger things is awesome, great 80s vibe, good mix of genres and the actual suspense is parts was refreshing.

Can't wait s2.

Thank you

Based on this, you haven't done anything wrong at all. I hope you get an answer soon.

My RMWs have a small hole in the side where my little toe is. I think it's because when the sole was redone they put it on a wide for last and that my foot movement has caused it to wear.

I'm tossing up whether to get a pair of Baxters or pay the extra $150 and get another pair of RMWs. They're the same shoe really but RMWs is pretty iconic.
