OK. I've never seen a crowd beg for an encore more with zero result. The gig was killer and they stuck it to the man by playing their first album cover to cover which was great for the die hard fans, but no encore? Shame shame shame.

That gig was fucking incredible. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they go off stage after they finished playing the first album, then played some newer stuff in their encore? I understood the desire for a second encore seeing as they didn't play a bunch of much-loved songs, but I thought the booing was a bit slack - they did play one of the best sets I've ever heard.

[Ivans On High]

Yeah don't get me wrong the show was great, but I call that more of a 'break' rather than an encore. I did find the booing strange, particularly since only about 1% of the crowd had any clue about the first album. I didn't see anyone singing along.

Suit hire is a total bust in this town. There is a good market gap. A suit hire place with actual nice suits! How about a rent-a-suit sort of deal with designer stuff like Hugo Boss and Armani etc?

[home]

^ i think people that care enough about silhouette / material / etc. actually own suits.

[DJI]

yeah a suit OTR is never going to fit great, let alone a rental..

[Ivans On High]

Yeah, but what about when you need 5 matching suits for a wedding?

and D, that's kind of my point.

[seven.homme]

^thinking to open one ? i think its still not a good idea. last time when my brother got married, we ended up making new suits for the groomsmen since we got different body sizes etc, and i think you dont want to keep adjusting your rental suit especially if its armani, hugo etc.

its just too much if you need like 5-7 different sizing option just for one style of suit or particular colour

[Ivans On High]

nah, not thinking to open one. But I need suits for my wedding haha.

[seven.homme]

haha ok. i think im going to wear thom browne for my wedding lol or dior homme

[Ivans On High]

Yeah, I had big plans. And then the groomsmen were like "fuck that. what have you got for $500" haha.

[seven.homme]

well its your day, so i dont think nobody will blame you if you're wearing something fancy while the others wearing some local tailor made lol

happened with my bro, he worn dior homme tux while the rest of us just some crappy suit from this crappy tailor ... lol

[DJI]

yeah just get your groomsmen some cheap m2m or jack london or something haha.

[JayPee]

Dior Homme has its place, but its not suiting

Stick to those who know mens suiting for suits.

[seven.homme]

well i like hedi's silhouette on suiting, not sure with KVA now.

my bro worn this one, it was nice

[dansta]

Hard to think of another designer who's had more of an influence on men's suiting in the last 10 years than Hedi...

[JayPee]

Good quality constructions, but the silhouette is a very acquired taste.

I would rate many ahead of Dior Homme, but to each their own - Oxxford, Brioni, Belvest, St. Andrews, Polo Purple Label, Hermés, Battistoni, Dunhill

selling a supreme backpack if anyone interested ..

[notsicknorwell]

dropped by Pieces in the city yesterday, was very surprised to see that they brought in a few In Aisce pieces (Orchid jacket, Stem knickers/pants) and Obscur as well. apparently the labels have been selling fast which is nice to know.

Hey can any one recommend a good airline to fly Sydney to Paris.

(peasant status economy for me)

Also any airlines to steer clear of!

[seven.homme]

singapore airlines would be the best for me if you got some extra cash

[slight]

Whichever you collect air points with. Economy is economy as long as you get inflight entertainment (looking at you, Korean Air).

Personally, I pack sleeping pills for long haul flights which practically guarantees I am only conscious for 1-2 hours of flight time.

[Ivans On High]

Anyone got any recommendations for business card printing?

Personally i'd go with Singapore and with an A380 if possible - I find it much quieter than other aircraft and can get a decent sleep despite being 6ft 4.

Otherwise try Japan Airlines and get a stop off in Tokyo for a few days. All depends on what time of the year you're going but i've seen SYD - NAR - CDG for just 2.3k AUD.

Personally would steer clear from BA if you don't like your baggage to go missing.
