many thanks you're a gentleman and a scholar.

Any stores in Melb stock Filippa K stuff?

[home]

sometimes i see filippa k in cactus jam, but sparsely

[Guest yorick]

ok cool, guess i'm gonna have to buy it online then.

[ri chi]

IMO filippa K isn't really worth paying retail for

but even worse than paying retail is paying Cactus Jam prices i think.

or incu prices, i saw a really nice Filippa K trench coat in incu in sydney, but haven't seen much more that would be worth the price tag.

Saw some Fillipa K pieces in Cactus Jam recently, also, heard that an APC store is gonna open by mid-year

Are you serious? Sweet!!!!!

Do you know where abouts in Melbourne for the APC store?

[supernudie]

Yeah I'm pretty sure they're looking at somewhere in Hawthorn atm.

[jcotteri]

woah right near my uncles, perhaps along glenferrie rd or hawthorn rd

[Pandemonium]

what? not in the CBD?

that sucks.

[LC07]

Hopefully, the RRP wouldn't be ridiculously overpriced like many other imported labels.

Also, looking for cheap-ish slim chino's. Suggestions, anyone?

[Pandemonium]

it will of course be higher RRP.

umm, slim chinos.

i've been looking for them too, to no avail.

perhaps you should try proxying a pair from uniqlo.

[WillKhitie]

Out of curiousity as well, are there any decent places in Melbourne to get leather goods? Wallets, reins and such?

[saepnirg]

there's a place in the CBD on lonsdale street that seems to do a fair bit of leather goods. never went in for a look though so i can't help you out on the price or quality.

Yeah, it looks like that's what I'll have to resort to.

I know little about leather goods but there's one shop at chapel street (south yarra end) that stocks a fair bit of leather jackets. If memory serves right, price point is $800 onwards.

I think you are talking about bisonte

they have a store in the CBD too, I have a thin wallet from them that I bought from Chiodo. not sure what the quality of their leather jackets are like, they look decent for the price.

Just like to know where's a decent place in melbourne for denim alteration

any particular styles/brands you looking for man? I spent ages looking for a set of frames last year, ended up finding a pair of Orgreen titanium frames from C20/20 in Melbourne Central that I really liked.

you might wanna try occhio in the GPO if you are interested in eyewear from ic! berlin, lindberg or orgreen.

[Pandemonium]

lol, OPSM are the worst for glasses choices so, that's to be expected.

'orgreen' - to be honest this brand isn't too bad. kinda pricey though.

[jcotteri]

sometmies i wish i wore glasses..they are kinda cool.would suit me.

[jcotteri]

yeh thought about it, would feel like too much of a poser, just wear other peoles for fun for a few minuites sometimes. oooh big 2-0 with your next post //dont waste it\\

[LC07]

Henderson's Optical at Galleria (Bourke Street) and Occhio.

You can get Alain Mikli and other equally awesome opticals at the former and Dita opticals at the latter.

[poostain]

just wondering how much these cost and if they're readily available in size 8 or 9 somewhere:

and price and availability of this blazer:

want to make decision if i should get them asap because of low stock or if i could wait two or three weeks (possibly a month and over for the blazer) 'cause i have other things i'm getting now.

[DJI]

boots are $396 and the cotton blazer was $275 I think. you should try calling fat fitzroy, they generally have the most stock.

[saepnirg]
