^ now at least I know I have 3 months to save up!

I second the 33 if you're still gonna go through with buying the sneaks in ROOMS instead of GROIL (isn't it kind of far away from what you originally wanted though?)

but since information has to be kept hush hush regarding CCP I'll have to wait till someone decides to let me in on the differences between the two

[fenrost]

@ Rob - will keep an eye out for your PM, thanks so much for your help man, as always. I need to get back to them by tomorrow the latest

sent, and welcome.

that being said, i think holding out for the first shipment, is the best thing to do - as they can end up different to what you are visualizing at the moment, due to the nature of the object dye, and the leather.

I'm always up for some kinder surprise!

Hi,

I need some suggestions for good shops from which to buy shirts ('dress' shirts). Preferably not over $50 per shirt, in plain colours, no patterns, good quality. Good quality is my main concern.

If it meant the difference between good and bad quality I'd be willing to pay $100+ per shirt.

Finding good shirts is pretty much the only thing I've had trouble with in melb.

Thrift stores are good for the odd shirt, but unreliable and too much work at the moment.

Thanks!

Is there a list of Comme de Garçons Homme online stockists floating around anywhere?

[Lilt]

Also I'll just add I'm looking for a variety of colours as well (plain with no patterns), not just white etc.

Purple, green, yellow, mustard, medium blue, the more colours the better.

Rhodes & Beckett?

Cheap but good when on sale (not sure how much discount they have at the moment).

Harrold's Xacus shirts are pretty good value on sale as well.

Herringbone too?

Hey any recommendations for good Indian food in the city?

Hey any recommendations for good Indian food in the city?

A good friend of mine, whose an indian origin, brought me to this restaurant, Red Pepper in the cbd, he felt the food's authenticity are closest to his home.

As a foreigner, it was alright for me. Maybe it's too authentic, as I am so used to the distorted curries ( albeit domestically catered) in malaysia.

Worth exploring.

[Raw Selvedge]

Cheers rob, now I'm thinking between that place or the Indian place in royal arcade next to chokolait. Anyone been there? I always go to chokolait so I sit across from it thinking if I should try it out. Normally don't look for Indian food which is why I have no clue haha

[fenrost]

thanks for recommending the another (the beside to chokolait), i don't remember it, but will keep an eye and try one day.

Hey sorry to derail your discussion, but I am after a pair of Claude Maus black skinny jeans in a size 32. Any body have a pair they want to let go of? Or any good sales on in Melbourne atm?

[conqueror]

you sure you'd need a 32 man? i am a 30 in claude and you are skinnier than i am.

[eversuns]

I weigh 73kg now dude ;p Maybe a 30-31 might be alright, The 28's I own are buttonable, but that involves cutting off any circulation from my waist down.

came down to melb for the christmas break, great weather from what i heard sydney had. boxing day sales at chadstone were epicly nuts. tried bistro vue, koko black, chokolait, hutong dumplings and kenzan gpo amongst other places. was the gooooooods.

[Playahater]

Fuck Chaddy, spent 45 mins trying to find a carpark today and gave up - place attracts quite a few wankers that don't know parking etiquette.

I've got a pair in size 30 somewhere I think. Lemme know if you're interested.

[Raw Selvedge]

yeah hutong dumplings are good but they could be hotter though. Although one good thing about the temperature they come in is that you can chuck the whole thing in your mouth without it burning haha. I decided on trying red pepper since a lot of reviews said the food was good. The flavours were good but the dishes had hardly any meat . Not for big eaters but i do recommend it.

Thanks, I sent you a private message

[conqueror]

any ideas for slim chinos now that its warmer? i saw some cheap monday ones that looked alright, but didn't have my size (30) and they aren't getting anymore in. willing to spend up to $180ish, although ideally $160 or less.

[Daaave]

What sort of chinos are you looking for? Because I remember Neuw had some pretty rad ones in your price range but they come pre-tapered

[Raw Selvedge]

Can someone help me proxy something from yoox? Dunno why the credit cards I try keeps getting denied by yoox. Please PM me.

EDIT: Don't worry got it working.

that sounds okay, i'm just after something slim - taper doesn't matter. i looked on their website and all i could see were some shitty pre-distressed ones?

[ben_253]

recently got some dr denim 'donk' chinos. regular tapered. not overly slim. $149

[conqueror]

do they have a button or zip fly?

[ben_253]

button (10 char)

[conqueror]

i wanted some khaki coloured ones, but GP online only have the dark grey in my size so i'll try them out anyway. thanks alot.

what the hell eversuns. I was under the impression you were in the high 50kg - low 60kg bracket. weird. In saying that though, i have no idea how tall you are.
