does anyone have any tips for the best leather/suede dry cleaner in sydney?

I have heard 20/20 in Mosman, but that was for general dry cleaning (suits fabrics etc) rather than leather.
Was wondering if there are any dedicated leather outfits (clothing not furniture)

Hope it's the racists vs anti-racists again, that's so great. Extreme juxtaposition my second favourite outcome from protest.

Also: almost all oxfords with jeans is awful and anyone that disagrees should have to go back to style school.

Style school? Is that a rort for the international students? Or should I be signing up?

Surprised to hear you being so black and white on aesthetics and personal taste LM.

Looks like you could use a size up on the jumper mate

Speaking of nice thick jumpers, I just ordered one of these in grey, price is bloody ridiculous.

I bought a blue fisherman's sweater last year. I had a sizing problem at first, which was easily sorted out. It's a wonderfully warm jumper, might have to get another

I sized down a size on their sizing recs, sounds like they are naturally roomy. I'm 6'2" 90kgs and got a M. Will update when it arrives

Cheers for the link, some warm and well priced stuff there. Might have found this years attempt for a jacket style cardigan

Not sure what it is but I just feel double breasted or blazer style cardigans could be awesome, ill find the right one eventually. 3rd years a charm

Well, maybe it's unfair, but it's just such a terrible look.

It's like someone wearing a suit and just throwing on derbies because they're 'dress shoes' - it ruins the whole thing. It's one of those cases where $30 dunlops look 1000% better.

Jeans are casual - maybe the most casual pant - trying to dress them up never looks good, especially if they are indigo (black jeans are often easier because the texture isn't as obvious, and also there's fewer connotations compared to blue jeans).

There are plenty of leather shoes that work with jeans - oxfords aren't among them.

FH: It might be the colours from the camera but that shade of blue is a bit too vibrant for those pants, IMO - a navy would be great.

Wandered through DJs again earlier.

A slightly different take on links/knots: kopped for $2 a pop!

Retailing for $29.95 is stupid though, Hackett or not Hackett

It's much darker in real life, and is navy.

I'm 6'1" and 95, and the medium is a good fit for me.

I'm sorry but, that claim is heading towards Foo level territory of BS.
