^ I hope that you guys still have good stuff left by 3 weeks! Gonna be my first time in Sydney, don't let me down Harrolds!

I have been using uniqlo's +J shirts for work. Slim fit but quality is not that great, expected for ~$50. The non iron ones were probably the best. There is still some on the Japanese sight for 1990yen last time I looked but slim pickings.

I have the regular +J ones and they are a bitch to iron, so definitely go for the non-iron type. Uniqlo regular range has slim-fit easy-to-iron work shirts too, worth giving a try.

All the J+ stuff I tried on was cut way too short for me. Admittedly, it was over a year ago so things might have changed since then.

[conqueror]

how tall are you ivans? i'm 6'1 and find them fine in jp XL if they are slim fit and jp L if they are regular.

The length hasnt changed much on the latter seasons, only the sleeves seem to have gotten longer.

[derek_]

anybody check out the Harrolds sales yet?

I'm 6'3. That extra 2 inches makes all the difference. Or so I'm told.

Good to hear the sleeves are slightly longer. Might have to order a few and see how they go.

^ I'm also 6'3", found +j too short.

[jackg]

some stuff up for sale (check my sig) free express shipping for any aussie buyer.

Maybe Filippa K would work. Their suits are cut nice and long through the arms. And at <$200 they are almost reasonable

[azif]

where do you get filippa k suits for less than 200?

[home]

^ times two..

[dansta]

^ I've only ever tried Filippa K's tees and knits, and found them both too boxy... Although that was a few seasons ago. Suits sound interesting at that price!

[Ivans On High]

Sorry guys, I was talking shirts. Suits are like $850.

[CactusArmy]

Anyone know where best to get quality spray cans? Or is it much better to go online and grab them?

hah, thought was too good to be true

[seven.homme]

dont know if you guys know this, but Pieces is doing some pop up sale store. just across from mamak rest. 50-70% ... until 3rd of march if im not mistaken. damir doma - drkshdw - julius etc

[kuugaia]

Sadly, +J will be discontinued in the future. It was good while it lasted.

Need some help guys, it'll be my first time in Sydney soon and planning on re-soling some of my shoes. Anybody had some good work done on RO dunks or boots in general? There's only one good cobbler in Perth from what I know but he told me he can't help me with the RO dunks and only has some really ugly topy soles. Would appreciate some recommendations guys! Cheers.

Also got a sales thread, and always prefer to deal within Australia: here

[notsicknorwell]

wtf Rob when you comin down?

edit: Melvin recommended Shoeworx Chifley Plaza to me and I like their work, he's brought his RO dunks there before I think. however iirc they only have topy soles.

[kuugaia]

Yeah Nick, I'll be coming down on the 17th of March. Should definitely meet up or get a sufu meet up going down or something. Might pop Melvin a message too.

Shoeworx Chifley Plaza? Alright I'll definitely check them out. The 'ugly topy' that I was referring to before were ones that had a bright red topy rubber logo in the middle, and I just didn't like that.

[notsicknorwell]

send me a text bro I upgraded my phone but lost my old contacts, how long will you be here for?

Saw someone in Chatswood on Saturday wearing Julius and Guidi. Anyone from here?

[Ivans On High]

Anyone been to Ms G's? What's it like?

[seven.homme]

went there ages ago ... its alright but nothing special for me that make me want to come back.

I dropped in there the other night when I was lining up for mamak. IMHO Its all well and good that they are stocking dbss, obscur, drkshdw, doma etc, but if you cant get the customer service side of things right then I dont think they should have bothered with a high end approach to the store.

[Ivans On High]

That's not a pop-up, that's their actual store. They moved into that location a while ago.

It's a nice location and could be a nice space, but I don't think retail fit-outs are their strong suit.

[homme.homme]

Fit-out is really disappointing, especially based on the old building it is located in. It has loads of potential.

[CactusArmy]

Has anyone owned any Surface to Air stuff? How's the quality like?

[seven.homme]

similiar like APC .. but the leather jackets (the justice ones in this matter) was amazing ..
