Greetings Australia, visitor from far away lands looking for advice on P Johnson RTW line.

Does anyone have experience with P. Johnson RTW sizing? Love the fits but I can’t tell how big any of the models are or Patrick himself in their instagrams.

Specifically looking at tops like the Milano knit blazer, quarter zips etc.

I know they have measurements and have tried to apply to some pieces I already own but any first hand accounts would be much appreciated!

6’1 (185cm) 80ish kg 175-180 Lbs 100-104cm chest here.

Love their stuff but ordering outside Australia so gotta get the sizing right!

I have a wedding coming up and am in need of a black suit. Oxford has suits for $300 at the moment which seems suspiciously cheap. Are they any good?

I could afford up to $600-900 if necessary but if Oxford are about as good as anything else in that price range or decent value for the money then I'll go for them. Was planning to go off the rack and get it tailored.

If you don't recommend them any other suit brands you'd suggest?

Got two pairs of Goodyear welt shoes (RMs and Canada West) and some blake stitched dress shoes (beard footwear)

I should probably but some shoe trees in them besides paper, does anyone have any suggests? I see Big W sell some for $25

Hi there first time poster. For about 15 years I’ve worn AS Colour Shadow tees basically everyday: https://www.ascolour.com.au/shadow-tee-5011s/?sale&srsltid=AfmBOopcYQfqwtfte8lzfp9Xo1_QQmkgcNw1WIsC-2bRIaqEQm0Jn13I

To my dismay they are now discontinued. I’ve tried to find a suitable replacement but not having any luck. I don’t like crew neck and I’ve tried the AS Colour V Neck but after a few washes the collar gets all fucked and crinkly.

Any advice for an affordable, comfortable t-shirt ideally with a scoop or large neck hole? I only need them in white and black colours.

Thanks very much.

I'm a tradie in hot as balls Adelaide south Australia and wondering what else can be done to my typical mandatory workwear. Mandatory stuff is a long sleeve yellow and blue shirt and steel toed shoes, which i usually choose black. The main things I'd consider under my control are a hat, the pants and a belt and maybe socks. I'd prefer lighter colours because dark gets hot in the sun. I often have to tuck my shirt in so belt visibility is a potential. The thing is i can't find any good examples of this idea as an image online. I've bought expensive hardwearing pants before and they're BS that usually tips and many are so thick they get hot. I hate skinny fit stuff and it also restricts my movement when I have to climb over stuff. I know there's not much wiggle room here but what have you got? I don't know if they're are guidelines of matching belt to shoes or socks to pants. Uh hat wise light colours that don't get hot...

I’m looking to buy a hoodie for my girlfriend, around that $200 mark or so, happy to spend more or less, are there any reputable australian brands or shops out there on the market currently selling hoodies, i want to try and find something that’s quite thick, a bit cropped or boxy fit. Hoping to find something that’s sold at a well known fashion label, say something to like a acne studios (bit too above my budget), zimmerman, V&W etc. i’ve checked net a porter and incu and a couple other stores with those types of brands but haven’t found too much yet. Cheers.

Hey there, can anyone recommend an online or Sydney based jewellery store for men’s rings?

To give you an idea of what I have and like, I have an emerald cut London blue topaz set in a simple band and the sodalite signet ring from Michael Hill.

Most desired aspects:

• Rings with real stones/gems/rocks
• Rings that are polished without aging effects and texture
• Rings made from Silver/White Gold
• Sub ~$500 desired

Would be nice:

• Also sold accompanying bracelets
• Relatively in stock
• Good reviews

Not interested in:

• Stainless steel/tungsten/titanium
• Plated jewellery
• Man-made or imitation stones
• Black Onyx

Hi all, Nique is back online, have anyone bought from them again? Are they still the same quality?

Thanks

To my fellow sweaty feet crew, what socks do you find work well during the day?

Recently purchased a few pairs on Amazon and they're great! Can anyone with a Costco membership confirm if they're sold in store?

Help a middle aged dude out, I used to buy all my tees from the typical chain stores, they were cheap and I could always find a colour/style/print I liked. But they never lasted too long and thanks to this sub, recently bought some ASColor tees. I love the quality (so far), the fit is great, but damn do they crease. Out of the wash, shake and hang up to dry... Still plenty of unsightly creases.

I hate ironing, especially for causal clothes that are worn frequently, so help me out with some other suggestions to look into.

Do I just need to settle for cotton/poly blends? If so, any recs?

Are the uni qlo ones good enough quality for the price? They are a 50/50 blend with cotton.

Or should I look at 100% linen?

Buy/Sell/Trade here at your own risk. Always get complete contact information before anything is shipped.

RULES:

• Post a description that accurately describes what you are selling. Update your thread when something gets sold or is no longer available.
• Post item condition and any images of the item (if available). Be as descriptive as possible when posting an item for sale or trade.
• Please refrain from downvoting posts.

Suggestions:

Use Paypal to facilitate these transactions. Gifting is fine, but understand the limits and liabilities of sending an unprotected "gift" to a seller. You'll save a bit of $, but it does leave you exposed if there is a fraudulent seller.

Another option is to use Grailed. You have the Paypal protection for both parties with much lower fees for the sellers. You also get a profile that shows the total number of transactions so you can use that as your proof of trustworthiness.

Please try to evaluate the "fair market value" of your items. No use in overpricing things and having them not sell. Check what the current selling price is on eBay to get a decent sense of FMV.

Feel free to ask for answers or pictures about an item you are interested in. A good seller will always be willing to answer you in a timely matter.

On the other hand, be a good buyer. Respond to the seller's communication, and be truthful about your intentions. Nothing is worse for a seller than answering a bunch of questions about fit and details, and then the potential buyer dropping off the map.

Hi I'm looking for some recommendations on where to shop in Tokyo. I'm a bigger guy, 6"1', 100kg, Usually wear XL Japanese stuff anyway. I like workwear and more formal/ivy styles. Does anyone have recommendations for shops to check out? It doesn't have to be specifically Japanese brands, even just more international brands we don't get in Australia.

Looking for a plus size (4xl) rash shirt for swimming, that is loose fitting, struggling to find one anywhere.

Not sure if this is the best sub for this one, but the title really says it. I am a big dude getting back into powerlifting and looking for some good stretchy 5-6 inch shorts that would be good for squatting in. Usually need a size 44/4XLish. Something like the LSKD lift shorts would be ideal.

The Kmart active shorts are okay, but haven't lasted too long in my experience, and the Johnny Bigg activewear line is kind of trash. Keen for any and all recommendations!

The title says it all.

Looking for a MTM Suit for a wedding in April and tossing between MJ Bale and SuitSupply.

Happy to spend the 1-1.5k but wanting something as high quality as I can get in that range.

Anyone had experiences with either?

Also happy to consider off the rack and tailoring too.

With neutral colours becoming king in recent times more elegant/classic pieces are given the opportunity to shine. I think coats going down below the knees are gonna make a comeback.

Hi All,

Picked up my first pair of loafers for extra cheap today:

https://www.zara.com/au/en/leather-penny-loafers-p12608420.html?v1=364177054

Any suggestions/recommendations with how to style/what to wear with them? Would love to wear with tailored shorts but unsure if they would work? I am completely new to loafers - late 30s smart/business casual style

I am attending a black tie event next week and require some guidance on buying a tuxedo. I have been advised that wearing a suit is fine for the event but I would like to respect the dress code chosen by the bride and groom.

I am apprehensive about spending $500-1k on a tuxedo knowing that I likely will not wear it for a long time and the next time I need to wear a tuxedo it may very well not even fit me anymore. Additionally, I am not that close to the bride and groom and only received an invite two months ago, however this again doesn’t mean I don’t want to respect the black tie code. Now, I would have no apprehension about spending a similar amount of money on a good quality suit as I could wear it to work.

I think there are four options here and I’m not sure which to choose:

1. Rent a tuxedo (likely won’t fit me as good which I’m fine with but I’m not even sure where I can rent a tuxedo from near me)

2. Buy a cheap tuxedo and relevant accessories for <$300. However some googling suggests this may not even be possible.

3. Invest in a good quality tuxedo for this occasion and future occasions and hope that I actually wear it again

4. Wear a suit, as I know for a fact that some men will be wearing a suit but that doesn’t mean that I should.

I’m quite anxious as I don’t have a lot of time to buy/rent something. Any advice would be appreciated.

Additionally, can classic black leather shoes be worn with a tuxedo? (Example: https://juliusmarlow.com.au/products/monash-black?variant=47249262903599)

I have been working in European country and the dress code requirements are very high. But I have a longer term work assignment in Australia in the next few months and I need to dress appropriately for the office. As far as I know, dressing in an Australian office should be done without dressing too formally. Will the dressing in the pictures I am showing be overeducated

Hi Redditors, I have an AS Colour premium hoodie which is ok, but rather thin for 350gsm. Bought it because it is 100% cotton and was quite cheap on sale, but thinking ahead I need something thicker and warmer for winter. Also the fit is a little strange- very long and narrow. Happy enough due to the relatively low price but been looking at their heavy hood which should be thicker and seems to have a better fit but is 20% polyester. Would prefer 100% cotton but a quick search didn’t bring much up in terms of heavy cotton hoodies ie close to 400gsm that is easily obtainable within Australia - I don’t want to deal with international shipping, potential return issues, surprise customs charges etc. So I’m reaching out here to see if anyone has the heavy hood from AS Colour and do you think it is a quality garment despite being 20% poly? Does it breathe well enough, does it pill at all, does it trap and hold odours like most polyester blends, and does it have any major drawbacks which made you regret the purchase or did you think it was worthwhile? Same questions about their Relax Faded hoodie- not as thick as the heavy but the fit looks great and I really like the faded colours. Furthermore if anyone has recommendations for a 100% cotton hoodie or jumper/sweat that is around the 400gsm mark I’d like to hear about them. Thanks in advance if anyone replies.

Hey all, I was hoping to see if there are any good oversized hoodies that you'd recommend. I've been looking for good companies that sell in Australia (Sydney) or make their products here that I can buy from. I would prefer a more blank hoodie without much design.

Thank you!!

Is anyone else getting more comfortable saying "no" to the constant upselling at Cotton On registers? You know, the whole "Would you like to add $2 to donate to [charity]?" or "Do you want to add a bottle of water or a tote bag?" I used to feel guilty about declining, but now I just politely say no without overthinking it.

Does anyone else feel the same, or am I just a terrible person for not caving in every time? Curious if others are in the same boat!

Late to the game but just realising now what a god-send linen is in Aussie weather. Bought a fair few linen button downs which are a treat, but looking for some linen shorts.

Most linen shorts look too casual to me, great in general but hoping for some more formal looking ones that I can wear to work and match with my linen shirts. Preferred colours are white/oatmeal/navy.

Anyone know of any stores selling more classy linen shorts for this sort of sitch?

Is this site legit? prices seem too good to be true.

I'm finding it difficult to locate a light-mid weight relaxed fit tee. I came across Industrie's 'Nanterre Knitted Tee' which is exactly what I am after in terms of shape/fit - except not in a knitted fabric!. The Carharrt 'Madison' ranges comes pretty close, except its expensive and colours are limited.

I find heavyweight t shirts dont get that drape I am after, and often will have the sleeves 'flair' out at sharp angles - perhaps the Nanterre range drapes particularaly well because it is knitted? Anyone know of any t shirts like the Nanterre but not knitted?
