i am going due to work responsibilities, but am quite excited nonetheless. hopefully i'll have some time to play/explore. i've never been there before, so i need to research some info about this city.

how long are you in sydney for? what info were you after?

[notsicknorwell]

looking for a new suit, trying to take advantage of the myer/DJ discounts that are happening now. budget of around 700.

hugo boss @ DJs don't have size 48 suits discounted, which is a bummer :/

tried on some rhodes & beckett suits, seems pretty decent, and one of them is discounted to $639.

any opinions on rhodes & beckett or suggestions for alternatives? thanks lots guys.

how long are you in sydney for? what info were you after?

About 10 days. just looking for info on must-see must-do type of things, food to try, and places to take cool photos of cityscape or architecture. just the touristy stuff, i guess. not too interested in shopping while i'm there.

got CON the cocoon from incu on friday. awesome fit and its like 60% wool so should be warm enough for these days..

tried on 2nd skin and 3rd skin and apparently L is too small for me but i have to say i really like the scarf on 3rd

[melvin7]

whats the rrp on the cocoon nufish?

[DJI]

^ it's $440 on pitbull.

[melvin7]

ah k, thx for the info D.

though $440 is pretty steep, thats my fav piece from this collection - so good buy nufish!

dame i paid 475.. but wasnt intend to buy it in the first place. actually i was trying to find a nice warm plain hoodie but end up trying this on.

any suggestion for the hoodie? AA fleece sounds like what i could wear to uni..

[nufish]

ohh btw brent wilson no longer does custom-made suits coz the factory is closing down. so any other options?

Oh damn where you buy for 475? Quite tempted to buy Cocoon... also favourite from the collection...

Otherwise would also like to know hoodie suggestions, something cheap that I won't have to baby when going out.

[melvin7]

i've got the double layer hoodie by CON from 2 seasons ago that ive worn like.. once.. its pretty much brand new still

pm me if ur interested.. size small but fits oversized

think its called the neo realism hoodie.

[nufish]

475 is incu.. it was a impulse buy but i liked it..

is that the snake print hoodie? I got this from sale.. its my everyday hoodie and raincoat now.. btw i wear a xl...

cotton on makes plain hoodie.. but the quality..?

[savage science fiction]

dont expect too much from cotton on

bassike is nice, otherwise there was a really cool plain but heavy weight fleece at that store on oxford street by a label called "public school" i think

could be wrong

[superhero]

I got my carhartt hoodie for $50 which retailed for about $200 at the carhartt warehouse sale. I think anything more than $100 is a ripoff for a hoodie coz it's just one of those items i dont think are worth spending that much on. If you can get uniqlo hoodies they'd be good. Not sure about bassike though their plain tee shirts are already $90 and theyre nothing great.

Turns out on the better quality hoodies i've come across are the USYD ones that are made in china, but they last really well with washes and careless wear.

Another option in sydney is to go to DFO and try getting a ralph lauren plain one, i've seen them on sale forl ike $79.95 which is half price about.
