Sounds like the loafer isn’t lined?
Maher from M & R Tailors on York St.
Fly to Syd, go to PJohnson, SuitSupply or Luxius. Sure, you’d need to make two or three trips, but just make a note of several other cloths you like so you can order without making a trip in future (especially SuitSupply, they can load your final size profile after alternations on to the website).
Not many options in Adelaide for good suits or shirts. I've tried most of the MTM operations for shirts and found them to be disappointing. Oscar Hunt are probably the best you'll find here. Lately I've been getting most of my shirts from a couple of the vietnamese tailors around Woodville. The fit and price a great but they use pretty cheap materials. If you want something nice made up you'll have to BYO materials.
The RL concessions in the department stores in Kyoto are interesting and there was a Brooks Brothers store in Kyoto. Have you visited Brycelands?
Excellent, I’ve been using him for years for basic to more complicated work, he’s the only one I would trust for anything more than hemming trousers or sewing on buttons. He’s also a lovely chap.
Haha, thank you for the offer. I actually am flying to Sydney next week for an unrelated personal matter, so I will add this to my agenda. I'll only be there for a day so time is limited, will need to carefully map out my route.
Someone in this thread was recommending Joseph Uzumcu, have you had any experience with his store? I've also heard good things about Tailors of Distinction on Unley Rd, but again, haven't got around to trying them (I need to get my new pair of pants tailored, so might take it there and check out their other offerings).
Tanh Tailoring at the intersection of Hanson and Torrens Road. Charged me about $150 for a shirt recently with a decent quality cotton. I also got him to make me a Suit about 6ish years ago. I won't mention the price as it would have obviously increased by now but it was the best fitting suit I've had done in Adelaide and worked out cheaper than what PJ and OH were charging at the time. Finishing wasn't great and I had to provide my own buttons. Also the only options were what he had in stock or could order through Holland and Sherry. There was another member lurking around here a few years ago who had commissioned quite a few jackets and suits here I think, but I cant recall his name.
I used Uzumcu to kit out the groomsmen for my wedding several years back. For rentals they were the best of a poor lot of options. The suits I saw there for sale were pretty lack luster and their house brand of shoes and accessories were awful. This is going back a long way though. They may have improved since then. Joe himself is an affable guy if he is still around, and seems to know his stuff. TBF Uzumcu made my shortlist when i was hunting for a new mtm service to try out, but ultimately I just ended up waiting for PJ to visit.
Arterton - Nakata Suit Hangers Set of 3 The hanger is single-jointed and composed of luxury European beechwood, which is bound to last a lifetime. Each hanger is woodwork-ed by hand in order to shape the neck and shoulders for fine suits, coats, and jackets.
The contours of this hanger preserve the integrity of garments, keeping them wrinkle-free and away from unnecessary fabric wear (e.g. shoulder dimples, stretching). 
LuxeSwap Auction - Nicks Hand Made 2022 Hickory Brown Unlined Leather Boots The term indestructible is thrown around loosely sometimes, but this pair of Nicks Boots, offered up by LuxeSwap, might really be. Often discussed around the forum, Nicks handmade shoes are not for the faint of heart - or wallet - luckily, this is a no reserve auction that started at just $9.99.
