subarus are as reliable as ever though. Just as a bit of info my 2005 liberty (3.0R Model) cant get under 12 Ltrs P/100Km even when driving highway kms. it sits around 13 Litres which is a bit rich. the models with 2.5 engines arent as bad.

thanks for the heads-up wept, I'd actually heard this from a few other people but nice to get it from first hand experience. looks as though i'll be milking this car 'borrowing' situation for a while until I can make up my mind.

50 you can pick up a fairly clean wrx for well under 30. ive only owned 2 cars but its going to be hard to get anything else besides an sti for my next car. looks awesome, perfect handling and can beat most cars on the road (if you know how to drive) only problem is their quite heavy on fuel if you like to put your foot down.

[camc]

Nothing beats AWD as far as driving goes. If youre ok with higher bills for fuel and servicing grab a Subie. Resale is much better than most cars too.

Otherwise get a Golf with DSG transmission.

just landed a full-time internship so need to up my corporate steez.

not that corporate thb, just button-downs and trousers/chinos.

few nice shirts in claude, but don't want to drop 200 a shirt if i can help it. trousers there are probably too skinny to be comfortable, as well.

any recs? times like this, i (again) wish we had uniqlo.

[wept]

grats home.

i need to step up my job hunting.

[DJI]

nice one home.

proxying uniqlo is always an option, it'd still work out cheaper than buying anything that fits half decent locally. these slim fit stretch shirts fit me so spot on. the body is cut slimmer and the sleeves longer than their regular shirts, the slight stretch in the fabric means they need minimal ironing too as they don't wrinkle in the wash.

what sort of slacks are you looking for, cotton or wool? I stick to cotton blend slacks for work as you don't need to have them dry cleaned, laziness concept.

hate jack london but their shirts are pretty fitted

[DJI]

their shirts fit me reasonably well, arms are a bit too long for me though. have to size up to a S in their shirts as the shoulders on XS are really fucking narrow.

speaking of which I have about half a dozen jack london shirts in S that I might be looking to sell soonish...

[home]

cheers for the ideas, guys. will check out jack london when i have some time.

yeah, thought about proxying, d. i'm basically after slim, cotton chinos. commuting in summer concept. leaning towards more casual than corporate, actually.

where'd flock cop his jp dickies? look pretty nice.

[DJI]

I have a couple of pairs of these and a couple of pairs in a lighter weight summer fabric that they don't have in stock any more, reasonably slim leg (~19cm hem) and medium-low rise (not to mention cheap as hell).

For business shirts, a while back one of my friends stayed in India for some time. He started using this nice local tailor who made some beautiful slim fit shirts for me for ~$11. Perfect fit. Im kicking myself he couldnt send me back some more.

Does Fat sell men's shoes? I looked online and they say there's only womens', but some stores are lazy with updating their online stock.

Does anybody know a good place to look for shoes (oxfords, ankle boots etc) outside of department stores? I'm thinking less skate/street stuff than Provider.

[lotek01]

think in that general category fat has vanishing elephant. otherwise incu has them too. i haven't tried them on but they seem alright.

[fenrost]

even rick owens discounted? interesting....

gertrude st assin is really a small small shop.. prolly all the undesired pieces..

[home]

^ thanks. 10

was in there a few weeks ago. nothing nice. wonder if they're just discounting what they already have in there or if they're getting new shit in for the sale? i'm guessing the former.

[shilent]

Anyone know where I can get some Common Projects in Melb other than CM store? Or even in Sydney?

[home]

^ don't think you can mate. at least in melbourne. you're best bet is buying from revolve, not a bad deal considering the strong AUD and free (very quick) shipping. remember to size down.

checked out assin sale yesterday, nothing really worth mentioning. although they have a nice drkshdw denim jacket reduced to 300 in medium. 48/50 people get on it. also that ann dem flower waistcoat which is just great, for 250, but too small (xxs).

anyone recommend a barber (cheap, just buzz cut) around gertrude/smith/brunswick st?

edit: when does acne gpo open?

[Tyro1]

the is a hair dresser above the Mr Lincoln on Gertrude Street. Otherwise Dr Follicles next to birdman?

Suzuran on Bourke rd in Camberwell - they've got quite a few varieties including Dessert Pocky. Otherwise that convenience / mini supermarket on the Cnr of Little Bourke and Swanston (used to be a Commonwealth bank).
