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

Hmm what do you mean by 'sloppy'?

Because they are lightweight, the fabric is constantly rumpled and does not drape. In my mind that makes them more casual and less dressy. But they are at least comfortable because they are so thin!

Honestly the Uniqlo vintage chinos are great, sit high, roomy enough for me and are 100% cotton (I think).

Navy and khaki colours are available, but I also picked up a green pair for ~flair~.

Oh I have them and like them too, but I prefer a finer fabric and some higher-end finishing (split waistband etc.) for dressier occasions. Uniqlo chinos I reserve for Fridays and weekends.

Fair enough!

You'll be waiting a season for the next batch of chinos. You can try their dress chino with is different from their light weight chino. The dress chino is designed to hold a press/pleat all day and they sit a bit higher. During the summer they'll do a hand full that include pleats and side adjusters, but stock is always limited on these

I wear long sleeved polos on casual Fridays. A lot. Tucked in under a sport jacket. I have a few button downs and cutaway collar models made-to-measure by Kazuna. They’re not the cheapest ($180 last I recall) but they’re really nice.

Robot pose in SuSu custom MTO three piece. Suit fit is the Havana. Fabric selected was a VBC Navy Birdseye. Minor alterations to sleeve and trouser length were all I required. And yes, I do tend toward longer sleeves these days (tired of my shirt and jacket cuffs riding up when I’m seated). All in all... very pleased and impressed. Especially at the sub-$1K pricing.

Does anyone still use P Johnson or SuitShop these days? P Johnson, in particular, seem to have gotten ridiculously expensive! Any Óscar Hunt customers here? How do they compare quality wise?

^^ How did you access Suit Supply MTO -- not in OZ, I'm guessing?

Actually, I’m in Sydney, so yes... from Oz, Just went through their online shop. This is the MTO option BTW, not MTM.

Oh right, there is a Sydney outlet now. Sorry what are the parameters of MTO--you can change things like jacket sleeve length?

CEP if the sleeves ride up then the sleeves are cut wrong. It needs to be cut to allow more space around the elbow and narrower on the front which will limit or eliminate any sleeve riding up.

Been wondering this myself lately, ie SuitShop vs Oscar Hunt. With terrible AUD it is getting comparatively less expensive to go local, but have never done so.

I got a suit from SuitShop in late 2017. Half-canvassed, basic fabric, $1,300. I was happy with the service and the fit, and still am.

I went back for a shirt last year in a basic royal oxford, which was $195. Wasn't happy with the fit. They remade it for me, and I'm happy with the remade shirt, but I expected better service for the price and have gone back to online MTM for shirts (currently Proper Cloth).

Hi gang, I need to get the soles replaced on two pairs of Goodyear Carmina shoes. Any recommended places in the Sydney conservative business dress? Would 24 hours turnaround be an ambitious request?

Cheers
