Australian Members - Part II - if you read the first post, you'll get what this is all about.

Yeah I've got a couple of shirts to pick up and I'm ordering some new trousers. Should be good!

I'm not that good at taking photos, the full length ones all look blurry but here's a photo of the trousers Jose Zarpan made me in 2019.

I supplied the cloth, buttons and side adjusters.

I've just ordered some Minnis fawn flannel, and I'm going to give it to Jose for pair #2.

Does anyone know of any charity appeals for clothing for the flood victims of NSW and Queensland. I was listening to RN this morning and someone mentioned the Salvos but after calling them I found out they weren’t.

I have heard of requests for quality clothing but so far have not been able to find out where to giver or to who.

Does anybody know of a good wardrobe maker/designer?

 

[Smooth Operator]

Yeah thanks I just scrolled through there. There’s a pair in my size and I’ve sent a message to the seller - hopefully hasn’t been sold yet.

I have a Vass Size 9UK in P2 last only worn twice

Sounds amazing! I did manage to pick up a pair of black shoes already but thanks anyway

@geoffrey Firman. Rumours of my fatal demise have be greatly exaggerated.

Hi all,

New poster, had tracked the thread years ago (2015 - 2016) and had lost my account over the years (though I lurked).

Starting up a new job in mid-April and need to refresh things (make good first impressions…). Had been in NYC for 5 years and the needs were increasingly more casual in the last two years. Work in finance, so assuming i build out the business wardrobe. I also put on ~7kgs in 2020 while in NY lockdown and with a newborn. With how busy things are am needing to accept this is indeed the new normal for me.

1) Business shirt recommendations? Previously had used TM Lewin throughout my career and was content… though most recently noticed an obvious drop-off in quality. Not sure if this was gradual, or something that’s happened in the last ~2-3 years

2) Suit options… yes, know there are many paths to go down here, but probably happy to go with a budget of ~$1 - 1.2k (some variance above and below)

Fortunately shoes (Loake, C&J, Meermin) and ties (still love my old Henry Carter ones which came as recommendations from you all!) still fit despite weight gain.

In the interim, will be trawling through the threads, but figured I’d ask the question.

Hey mate, forgive the late reply, but here's my two-bob's worth. I've bought quite a few MTM pieces from Luxius and Kazuna. If you're in Sydney, they're definitely worth a look.
