I am one of the afterwork crowd! I guess i would look a bit out of place in a suit, so i'm tentative.

Ralph Lauren generally have really thin hoodies, From memory they are cashmere or cashmere blend, but really really thin.

morgz, you wouldn't happen to have been at the upstairs mcdonalds at melb central today at about 1pm would you? I think I recognised your peacoat haha

27/6... thats a wednesday, I would have been in a suit if I was around there, but I have been on training in south melbourne for a few days.. I wouldn't be surprised if someone else has that coat, they seem to have sold out according to the other guys on here.

I suggested this in the other thread, so I guess I'm down. Damn, i'm going to have to buy new clothes before this!

check out Christopher Chronis in GPO, they are on sale now, pea coats down from 770 to 550... didn't check out the sizes though.

alpha60 @ alphaville on fliders lane and brunswick st

ag in gpo and .... (someone fill in the blanks please)

AG can be found in GPO, Little Collins (next to Prime), David Jones and i'm pretty sure there is a store on Chapel St.

The canon and the pentax aren't really comparable, a Canon will be a much better performing camera and has much better lense options when you go down that path.

The only comparison you should be doing is Canon to Nikon, they are the market leaders in the dSLR business at the moment.

I had a windows mobile PDA, 2 symbian phones, one with UIQ and one with Series 60, and played with too many other "smart" phones recently and nothing has been as bulletproof as the blackberry.

I picked up a pearl in about march and it hasn't left my hand since, I'm well and truly addicted to it and don't see any reason to go back to horried windows mobile or any other supposed smart phone.

No mention of iPhone in this thread yet? It will be interesting to see the market penetration that gizmo will have.

It will be nigh impossible to find the AG pea coat i think, I had to go to a few stores to find it, and that was in march/april! i got it 2 weeks after it's release and have yet to see another one. Someone actually stopped me recently in melb central/myer walkway (probably some SuFu'er) and asked me where i got it, so lots of people must be looking for one.

I stopped by Alpha 60 today and now I want that trench, but only sz Large. Also went to Assin, they have the Dior Homme trench in, but for 2500, i think i will get one made for me instead.

Plenty of Melbournians on here by the looks of things, when is the Melbourne meet?

Calibre are ridiculous, they have been doing a 3/4 coat for about 5 years, sometimes with buttons, sometimes with a zip, always looks the exactly the same. Calibre can't justify their prices.

I looked at some awesome coats at Christopher Chronis today (GPO Store, store at rear). It was a bit more work centric but I wear a suit everyday so it's ok for me.

The pea jackets available at like Industrie and mooks etc are not worth it, $199 for a coat made from acrylic/nylon that isn't even lined? Spend another $100 or so for something made from wool and make sure it's lined. Pea jackets are meant to be a snug fit, if it feels big and baggy (ala Country Road), don't buy it, if it is baggy, you will feel a lot colder than in a snug fitting one.

I picked up an AG pea coat in size 0, fits excellent! I think it was about $500?

Also check out Marais, they have a 70% sale on now, most of the coats are about 500-600.

Country Road is a bigger size, I have a couple of their suits, but it's impossible to find a sz 36 jacket and 30/32 pant there.
