Sydneysiders,

I went to Harrold's today to check out the sale.

They have a few pairs of Gaziano & Girling at 60% off, and some Carmina chelsea boots & loafers also at 60% off.

A bargain if they've got something you like. Not as much of a bargain as the jacket in my signature below👇, but good value nonetheless.

P. Johnson x Haulier archive sale in Paddington (Sydney) this Thursday to Sunday. No doubt all the food stuff will be gone before I can get there.

Did anyone end up going and manage to grab anything good? Went today and it was 99% Haulier in small sizes only. Honestly not huge on Haulier from what I've seen so far.

Anyone know where to grab some knit tees? With spring just around the corner, I have been trying to find some short-sleeve knit t-shirts. M.J Bale had the Elba Knit Tee, but the colour choices were rather limited.

Depends on your budget. P Johnson has some (overpriced for the quality IMO). Rubinacci is much better quality for slightly more money. Rubato even more expensive but apparently very good.

Christian Kimber has some good knit polos (pricy though). For round neck knit tees I order mine from Iolo Korea.

Anyone else liking the double breasted resurgence? I've always been a fan but it's been quite difficult to find anything till now. There's so many choices available now, it's great

Whereabouts are you finding double breasted options?

Peter Jackson have some nice double-breasted winter suits. My only double-breasted suit to-date is a Peter Jackson three-piece.

MJ Bale have some double-breasted sports jackets this winter, but no double-breasted suit option.

Instagram provided Reiss as an option of double breasted. They have lots of soft-shouldered, patch-pocket designs which is what I'm after.

I tried this one on in DJ's today.

But it was really stiff and heavy. I've never heard of Reiss before - apparently they've been around since the 1970's. I guess its a fully-fused 'fashion' label, on par with Boss etc?

A big contrast to the MJ Bale Cornello Double Breasted jacket which is so light and soft.

I don't buy Aussie brands as they don't fit me very well. Reiss is a fashion brand so not the best for suits.

I bought mine from Natalino. Fits me well and decent price point, similar to mj bale. Otherwise I like Ring Jacket, The Armoury, Berg and Berg, Spier Mackay and Suit supply.

I have had several made here in Perth recently...

Hi all,

For resoling of shoes / shoe repairs, is there anything beyond Evans in the conservative business dress or Manfred's in the north that would be highly recommended? Have not been to the latter, and finding time with young kids is tricky to do it. Face ripped on price from Evans a year ago for a pair of C&Js.

Evans are a nonsense. While I am no longer in Oz, Manfreds, for Melbourne, they are probably as good as it gets. They have worked on many pairs of Lobbs and Greens For me. Satisfactorily.

I live in USA but was in Oz last week. The Christian Kimber store in Melbourne is incredible and absolutely worth it. I ordered a whole bunch of stuff from him including polos, outerwear and more. They have really interesting fabrics and textures.

Hi all,
I have a pair of Grant Stone traveler penny loafers in espresso suede US9.5E that I'd like to sell. I can return them to the US, but it's a hassle I'd like to avoid, if possible. Brand new, never worn. Offering for $450AUD shipped in AUS. Let me know if you're interested. I can upload pictures too.

Thank you

Any Laufey fans in here? My daughter and I are going to watch her perform at the Sydney Opera House this Friday!

Does anyone have recommendations for getting a suit pressed around the Sydney C.B.D? Inner West OK too. Thanks
