I think Bonds is incredibly over priced.

I'd rather pay the extra $2 for AA.

Superior meterial and construction, and it's not made by a teenager in regional China.

You can get AA for like $7 USD from wholesalers on here.

You can get 10 AAA for $20 USD on eBay. I'm going to order some this week. I'll report back.

A bit of an update, getting AA wholesale wasn't as easy as I thought. Proxy and other wholesalers on this forum aren't really up for the orders to Australia. When I contacted AA directly, unless I was going to be modifying and reselling the goods, I couldn't have an account. They directed me to a local wholesaler BYM International, who is based in NZ but has reps in Melbourne and Sydney.

I approached them through my business, but they may accept personal orders without an ABN. It's probably better to do group orders as a company rather than burn them out on small orders.

Price comparison for the basic 2001 Fine Jersy tee:

American Apparel US Online Retail: $15 USD

American Apparel Aus Online Retail: $24 AUD (ouch)

Chim's wholesale price: $9 USD

BYM's wholesale price: $11.35 AUD

AA wholesale has a more limited range than their full online store (mostly basics, less of the fashion-y items and out-there colours), but you can still get some scarves, tanks, tees, hoodies and bags. This is what's availible here: http://www.americanapparel.net/wholesaleresources/catalog/

Also, for AA newcomers, the 2001 Fine Jersy tee might be the classic AA item, but they now have better alternatives: The 'Baby Rib Fitted' models are a more dense cotton and have less nipple-poking factor, as well as a nicer fit through the body. The Sheer Jersy Summer tees are very light and soft, quite sheer, but a godsend for layering in Australia. They've also got a range of v-necks and henleys too.

I haven't tried any of their organics yet, but they seem good. Some people swear by the poly-cotton and tri-blend tees, but I think the synthetics in the fabric make them too sweaty for Australia. Likewise, the plain polos are a simple basic, but the main model is 50% cotton, 50% polysester. They have a 100% cotton version availible in white and black only (this has only just been added to wholesale, it is not on the catalogue, but it is availible with the item number PQ412). The 'Fine Jersey Short Sleeve Leisure Shirt' is a polo done in the tee shirt fabric, which I wear as a basic in my wardrobe, I like the retro deep placket and they're very understated.

The sheer jersy scarves are quite cool, very lightweight, nice and long, they can be rolled/twisted, or folded flat. I'm planning on cutting a couple into halves (2m X 41cm cut into 2m X 20cm) and wear them in summer.

Also, don't be put off by the coke-thin image of American Apparel, the medium is quite large. I'm 6'1" and I wear smalls.

I can pass on the contact details of the sales guy at BYM, contact me directly if you want it, but I suggest you guys get a group order organised for Sydney if you're interested in some basics and layers for summer. If I wasn't in Perth, I'd be up for being the middle man.

yeah i have heard the quality is good. I am a size 28 usually. If it's no trouble that would be great but if it's any bother don't worry - will just keep and eye out for something on supermarket.

No worries...I cant say 100% but I will for sure ask him.

Yes, I just ordered a pair of DH's from Grapist.

I'll let you know how it turns out if you'd like :)

Order went in last week, 11th Nov?

Apparently it's 5 - 10 working days for it to reach our shores.

I wouldn't order from Grapist, he took atleast 2 months to send it and he only sent it after my friend did a credit card cash bank (or however you call it), just thought I'd let you know.

Theres not much in Sydney, best bet is in the city somewhere obviously. Have to check out Aquila shoes though, they have the only shoes I like in Sydney.

Incu, Oxford might be worthwhile. AA stuff is cheaper if you get it from tuffy_mcpuggles or tuffy_mcbuggles even after shipping etc from ebay.

take care

white shirt: Filippa K? Belinda Menswear?

or are there any good tailors in sydney? always sort of intrigued by that place next to incu at TGV.

I think you mean Brent Wilson. That could be an idea actually.

Is Belinda menswear still there? I thought it was closing down.

I have kind of gone off a plain white and I am looking at this one on supermarket but the dude is wanting something like 230 euro :(
