Favorite Australian labels

[corey]

That M-65 is showing up everywhere. It's boxy and bullky through the sleeves.

It's also two hundred fucking bucks. Uniqlo do slimmer M-65 for half a bill and I'd wager that they are better quality.

[seksu!]

post them hem and haw collections !

[csd]

AG always pick great material for check shirts.

Tsubi and Mjolk, but unfortunately can't get away with wearing much of either of their gear.

hem & haw is defunct.

wtf really?!

is that why bobbys close down/

havnt been up on anything all year

:confused: :confused:

[__CB__]

CR is decent really. they make shirts to fit the general populace, which when not working white collar, are chugging beer and tossing something on a barbie. so its understandable. if they made it any other way, they'd be some struggling niche label.

it's strange though - cos i've tried on other stuff in size small (jackets etc) and they fit really well... just the shirts that seem to be way oversized.

my top 3 favorite aus brands:

pam

lover

willow

[kpnv]

ahh... yea i actually do have the uniqlo air protection jacket hahaha, didn't put that CR one on (i thought it was like 120 or something? must've been blind).

uniqlo and proxies are a bit of a godsend really. and sharpservice being down is a bitch.

^^^ shit looks very nice. i only ever see scattered pieces of FG around melbourne though.

is the top jacket leather? wouldnt mind seeing that in person.. rough pricepoint?

melbourne stockists?

[dumadiscount]

country road tailored cotton pants are nice... shoes are not bad

rest of the sh1t fits like turds... i tried a 36 jacket on it fit like a 40.

+ that m65 has velcro on the collar

[superhero]

Morrisey fits pretty nice, but like someone said before not sure if it warrants the $200 range.

i got those brown CR shoes for $50 lol

[Quiver]

Picked up two David Lawrence shirts and a pair of trousers yesterday for work. Fits perfectly and the materials are excellent. Retail price is reasonable but I scooped them up for about 50 a piece. Couldn't be happier.

Yup and the CR M65 even in the small is way too big, especially in the arms.

[Guest binaural]

though i'm not a huge PAM fan, i really love the SS08 collection.

Material Boy is pretty rad.

Chronicles of Never AW08 looks really nice.

Coogi?

[Pandemonium]

kate sylvester is pretty good also.

[jcotteri]

i just love CON and BEAT POET!!! Want more!!! now!

[DJI]

i just love CON and BEAT POET!!! Want more!!! now!

CON, beat poet, claude maus and friedrich gray are the only local labels that are of any interest to me these days.

[home]

tell me more about the whereabouts of friedrich gray.

alice euphomia had all of about 4 mens pieces last week.

especially interested in the leather jacket above - although im lead to believe it retails for ~1500.

[lufc_girl]

i like genki

Haha another Ganki lover... I love that shop... you always feel special whenever you go there... and really really nice Genki girls! Such a jolly place...

[DJI]

never seen the leather jacket in store.

alice had a few pieces, you might wanna try the gertrude st. store for more stock.

fat GPO doesn't have shit, just a couple of print tees (same ones as those available on purest cut).

haven't been for a few weeks but fat brunswick st had more pieces than the GPO store. the long drapey top with a leather edge looked cool, but it was pretty damn expensive from memory (600+?)

[home]

600? fuckkkkkkkk

[Ry'on]

Im a big fan of Rittenhouse, PAM (love about 30% of their stuff - lots is wack), There is some solid stuff from Insight sometimes, Ksubi is good, we just got a shipment of their shades and they are pretty fresh.

[nong]

I'm pretty into these sunglasses by Karen Walker. Not quite Australian, (New Zealand?), but Australasia . . . close enough?

[designersheep]

I got some plain tees by Bassike, and I love the cut, nothing spectacular tho.

I like those Karen Walker sunglasses too. I've recently dropped by one of their stores here (in NZ) and was actually quite impressed with the overall quality of everything, altho not really sufu style.

[joey_formal]

karen walker sunglasses are pretty nice in person too, shapes dont work for me but nice none the less. for those interested, who am eye is a sick brand and just did a runway presentation down under, check my blog below for pics there is a link there.

[rama9791]

[DJI]

yeah, they are australian. seen most of their collection from this season and last season, nothing particularly interesting imo. inconsistant sizing and overpriced for the level of quality too (all made in china).

Bassike

= rad.

It seems that FG leather is sold out everywhere. fuccccck i want i want.

[ben_253]

has anyone seen the new mjolk stuff for a/w?

[DJI]

who stocked the jacket in the first place home? afaik fat and alice are the only stockists of FG in Melbourne and never saw it there.

haven't seen or heard anything from mjolk since a/w season last year, dunno if they are still around or not.
