Thanks for the recommendations all, to answer some points:

- I'm 175cm or so, not particularly tall
- I'd like to be able to put stuff in the boot - my bike (with wheels off is totally fine) and some small things from the hardware store. No massive planks or wood or anything bulky, but I can't quite do a Smart car, for example
- I really, really don't care about style or associations
- I'm not looking to get offroad at all
- seats for a few friends would be great
- I've never owned a car, so this is a bit of a 'testing the water' purchase. It's ok if it runs for 2 years or so then I re-evaluate whether I want to keep owning a car
- Not going to pay for than 4 or 5K, and 5k would be the absolute limit

Has anyone bought a mtm suit from George&King ?

Saw an ad for them on Facebook and they'd buttoned up the bottom button on a suit jacket. I knew then and there that they weren't for me.

Hi Gents, shameless plug . getting rid of a Longines .

Didn't you just buy that watch a few months ago? I thought that you liked it?

FYI

Was good to see the other day that you're restocking some of your Grenadines - does this mean that Henry Carter will be active again? Any plans to restock some of the Macclesfield prints you've had in the past? I read through your thread after things went quiet and there are definitely a couple I'd pre-order given the chance, you had (have) great taste.

Can't really say too much on here now that I'm not an affiliate anymore but we are cruising along again, at least until next year. Mostly just re-stocking grenadines at the moment and picking up 1 or 2 other new ones occasionally plus new scarves for winter. I probably don't see too many Macclesfields on the horizon though, they became so popular and supply of fabric became harder and thus more expensive with all the good stuff being snapped up by bigger companies quickly.

Scarves? @Henry Carter What type? PM me with details.

Hi JM , yes did buy this few months ago. Such a beautiful watch. I love to look at it but I just couldn't wear it. I did try it on for 10-20 mins few days only in the office . Great watch for anyone looking for a dress watch.
I plan to keep just my DJ2 & Gmt ii and sell everything else including a Tudor Black Bay. Anyone interested Pm me !

So I'm in Hobart for Dark Mofo and was wondering if anyone knew of any places that sell good quality local menswear? Probably a longshot though. There seems to be quite a lot of nice places for womenswear ("the maker" at the Salamanca Arts Centre had some sweet stuff, including some grail level scarves but all the clothes were womens) but haven't really seen anything for guys apart from socks and maybe plain wool basics. I already own a few pairs of Mongrel socks.

Any tips welcome.

Is RM Williams closing?

They ought to be with the quality of their post takeover boots according to my cobbler.

Hi all - I don't often post but keep track of this thread. I have struggled finding chinos that fit well and have a crease and are not pricey.

Might be too cheap for some but have recently found some great fitting ones (for me) at Uniqlo - 100% cotton, quite high waisted with a wide waistband and a crease in the leg and a good silhouette- all for the absurd current sale price of $19.90. Not sure how long they'll last but now have a number of pairs in beige, olive and navy. Most sizes still available. Link below:
