i was watching that auction superhero, was sooo going to snipe it if it got no interest.

[superhero]

haha thanks for watching gobbledock.... i hope it goes well lol i got them as a gift from friends but they didn't buy my right size. They don't mind me selling them and buying something else that i really like as well since these shoes aren't sold anymore =(

if anyone has a 43 i shotgun them!

[gobbledock]

how do they fit compared to the court shoes? i wear a 44 in the courts and the training boots.

the auction seems to be doing pretty well to me, you've got a few big bids with plenty of time to go.

[JayPee]

I’m after a good quality pea coat and some nice new fitted slacks.

Anyone got some good tips?

[superhero]

Hey Jaypee, the best fitted slacks are seriously uniqlo vintage chinos, I have not come across any pants in australia that fit as well with such good quality (everything is felled, no loose stitches and everythign is chain stitched too). The material is soft yet durable. I think you can get decent ones from marcs, if they still sell them which aren't too baggy either. But man UVC's are $40 (maybe $50 now due to exchange rate) but better than most pants up to $200.

As for the shoes Gobbledock, I wear 43 in CPs and these 44s are about a size too big for me, as it has about 2cm extra in the toebox. I also have the court shoes in 43.

[JayPee]

Thanks hero, repped!

Where did you pick yours up? Online only im guessing?

Anyone know of any good sales/discounts/new stuff at the moment? Big shop on thursday

[Ivans On High]

JayPee,

Best fitted slacks in Australia are St Augustine Academy. They have a store in Surry Hills and are also stocked in Incu. Reasonably priced too though not as cheap as UVCs.

I own two pairs.

[superhero]

Yes ivan's on high is correct! i forgot about them.

I must say saint augustine academy has been one of my favourite local labels in a long time. Great tailoring and decent quality. Funny though, their shirts retail for about $200US in the states.

For UVCs i bought them through a friend who went to japan on holiday and told him specifically to find those pants lol... they're everywhere there, but otherwise you will have to find a proxy and i honestly think they are worth paying up to $70 for!

[Ivans On High]

Melv, nice WAYWT. I never see people dressed like that in sydney. I suppose i live on the north shore so its not surprising haha.

Out of curiosity, what did you sell your boots for?

[nufish]

I need new suit for an interview next week.. any good suggestions? herringbone? brent wilson? flippa k? stuff in dj? for herringbone, is the warehouse still open? or I should just go to the qvb store..

[nlim3482]

Does your job require you to wear a suit? What is your budget?

Herringbone is your best option, go to their store in Circular Quay as the QVB store is tiny and won't have the entire range. Otherwise I would suggest Paul Smith suits which are stocked in Incu and David Jones.

[corey]

Go and see Ethan at Herringbone in the Quay.

Herringbone suits are the best value in Australia.

Canvased. Made in Japan. Slim. Roped shoulders.

[Ivans On High]

What are they worth?

[melvin7]

thanks ivan;)

umm i havent actually sold it yet but my mate called dibs.. i might be trading it with one of the his jackets + $$$ (im still considering if i like the jacket or not )

i got it for 230US shipped so ill be selling it for that price... such a shame its too small on me coz that price is a steal for ann d boots!

Melv, nice WAYWT. I never see people dressed like that in sydney. I suppose i live on the north shore so its not surprising haha.

[nufish]

nlim3482: It's just time for me to get a new suit since I have lost some weight/ put on some muscle, the old one no longer fits. i'm gonna spend around 1k and herringbone seems to be the best option for me.

corey: thanks mate i'll drop by tomorrow/weekend

Hey guys, I went to DJs and they had 50% off dolce and gabbana, made in italy.

I tried on a suit and it fit really well... does anyone know the quality of their suits - fused or canvassed? It was down from $2000 to $1000 which is the same price as herringbone... which one should i pick?

[dudeman500]

The Dolce & Gabbana line of suits is fused. As fused suits go, though, they are about as good as it gets. As all designer suits, you are over-paying. However, if you have an athletic build and can't afford Isaia, it is one of the best options in terms of fit.

Herringbone offer much better construction.

Get which ever fits you best though.
