Any idea if the sale usually have small sizes?

They have had smalls in the past but obviously way more larger sizes.

Just got back from the sale, it was ok, nothing special. picked up a few tee's, some shorts and a hoody. small's and mediums go very fast. it was mainly umbro kim jones and trovata. I was talking to one of the guys and they said they would open boxes every hour or so.

thanks for the info.

prices?

[jf30]

T's, polos, shorts $20

Jackets $80

can't remember the rest...

[styleofmind]

Just got back from the sale too.

Didn't see anything particularly eye-catching, although fashion is subjective blah blah blah so hope you guys get more stuff.

Still, things were going for dirt cheap.

Picked up

DKNY shirt

Nice Collective jacket

Phillip Treacy for Umbro shoes

Nice Collective tee

2k by Gingham tee.

Set me back 200 in total I think. Can't remember.

Worth checking out if you have nothing else to do.

From what I remember...

Jeans - 40

Tees/Polos - 20

Shoes - 40

Shirts - 40

Jackets - 80

Saw a few decent jackets but just weren't my size or anything, so I didn't bother.

Best of luck fellas

some friends and i are thinking of starting a club at UNSW for streetwear, fashion and meeting other ppl, holding parties, clubbing, stuff like that... anyone wanna join?

I don't know why, since I think it's completley cool to discuss such matters over an internet forum, but the thought of a real life structured fashion 'club' or forum with organised events makes me cringe.

[Guest]

awesome, thanks for all the info. where there alot of people there?

[arisu]

Yes. I saw one of you, a new one who posted a waywt with white shirt and dark jeans, reflector aviators. You're tall

The change rooms were pathetic. I saw a lot of pieces I liked, in other people's hands. Most stuff I liked was M (guys and girls).

Shirts for $50 I believe.

[homme.homme]

Just got back.

bought 2x KJxUmbro sneakers and 1 jkt. was only charged 30 for the jkt so that was sweet.

[gobbledock]

Picked up four trovata tees and a trovata hoodie. Was 120 all up somehow lol.

Would have loved to grab a nice collective jacket but went too quickly.

[Guest]

wow, what a letdown. personally didn't like anything over there, walked in and walked out!

[thecollection]

the only thing that was worth a look was the jackets imo

[seven.homme]

yeah nothing special..picked up 1 trovata tee n corpus

[superhero]

The sale was pretty crappy, prices werent too bad but the stuff i found didnt fit v nicely nor was it anything that looked outstanding.

Prices were:

Tees $20

Pants/Jeans $40

Shoes $40

Jackets $80

Not worth going to unless you happen to be in the area and have a bit of time to browse quickly.

Arisu - you're talking about me =P you shoulda said hi... but then again that might've been a bit freaky ay.

[LaiShin]

Thanks for the report. Guess I'll give it a miss, considering that tomorrow's weather is gonna suck (again).

[kpnv]

i arrived at like 10:05 and the place was already packed. picked up a marc jacobs jacket, some trovata shorts and a sweater.

i have no idea if you will find the bargain of the century (most likely no) there or not but there were more boxes stashed around. dunno if it will be different to what i've seen. bit hit and miss i feel. its a clearance sale after all so they wouldn't put the really good stuff up. there's some raw edwins, a little corpus, some umbro X KJ, lots of umbro X philip treacy, trovata... some shoes... i remember some decent umbro X KJ woven ones and some MJ x Vans patent sk8-his.

I saw more stuff that i might have wanted but they were in other people's hands.

good luck if you do go.

[superhero]

good luck if you do go.

major good luck required indeed.

+ rep for that statement.

[corey]

Okay. Who was at Rockdale station this evening wearing a CDG Play tee, raw black cut offs and red Chucks?

[superhero]

Hey I'm looking for cheap but decent wooden coat hangers for my wardrobe, does anyone know where to get them? I've heard in the past they are like 50c each...

also are there even better alternatives for wooden coat hangers?

[nlim3482]

try big W. I don't think they are 50c each, I remember getting 24 for $20 or something like that.

[arisu]

Ikea have some. 8 for 5.95

[styleofmind]

Yes. Don't make my mistake and buy them from Duffy Bros supermarket.

3.79 for 3. And I only check this thread after I buy them.

New Fred Perry polos at Footage, if anyone's interested. All manners of sizing were there.

Couple of colourways available, all very nice, so feel free to pick up one for summer!

[superhero]

Oh yes FP! how much were they and are these the Made in England ones?? Don't you think $100 + for a polo is over kill?

[styleofmind]

can't put a price on looking good. thats my philosophy haha.

it's priceless!

having said that, i suppose you could get other stuff for cheaper.

YES it's made in england. they retail for 130 i think? so it's not TOO bad... plus it's summer and stuff and polo tees look great. or at least, in my book.

[homme.homme]

best fred pery polo over:

[JayPee]

Anyone know where to get some nice black dress shoes?

Looked up and down all oxford st, Bondi and the city today and nothing took my fancy..

Anyone even selling any? US 10.5-11 for under $400?

[homme.homme]

what style were you thinking? classic or more contemporary?

[JayPee]

I'm so open minded at this point.. slips, boots, laces..

As long as they're good quality and look sharp.. Maybe a more classic look i guess

[homme.homme]

last time i walked past the burberry store on king street they had some awesome black dress boots in the window. I have really vague memories of them besides the fact that I was in love... im sure they would be $700+ atleast though.

[jf30]

Check the ourspot website they just got some new dress shoes in, they look preety good
