Has anyone had any experience with Barhion?

I'm looking at getting a pair of cap toe Oxfords, I have looked at the products and can't determine whether they're actually quality products or it's all just cheap with a "designer markup"

How would they stack up to something like Meermin in a similar price range?

Thanks

I was going to order some blanks for this project I'm doing and I've been doing research,Rue Porter seems to be perfect for what I need as they are the right fit and 1000gsm, but the shipping was about 80 USD for a 35 USD hoodie so I was wondering if anyone knew any alternatives that look and feel the same but are made closer to Australia so the shipping isn't as much, Thankyou.

Hey guys I'm back :),

You guys gave a lot of constructive feedback to one of my last posts here, so I took some suggestions to perhaps make my brand look a bit more trustworthy (still a major work in progress)!

So have you ever thought about what actually goes into making your fave blank tee? I just put together a vid showing all the steps in the process. Picking the fabric, cutting, stitching—it’s no joke how much time and effort it takes.

Check it out here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DD1SwzDIgFp/?igsh=MW9uMjg4czV2aXFxdg==

Keen to hear what you all reckon. What’s most important to you when picking a tee? Fit, feel, durability?

Hello all!

I am writing this as I am in the Phillipines. I thought I was going to be able to get a suit made here but no one will be able to even do an initial fitting for me before I leave on 10 Jan.

I need to get at MTM made, OTR and altering won't cut it for my body shape anymore (I'm 168cm with wide shoulders. I also gained a tonne of weight and to fit my chest and shoulders, the suit would be overall big and way too long.)

I am a long time Institchu customer for shirts. Generally I know they are quite hit and miss depending on which stylist you get as some clearly do not know what they are doing.

My previous experience with them for suits was during COVID when I was 20kg lighter. It was a 2 for $1000 deal, but after a dry cleaning there was bubbling (probably from the fuse coming off). I didn't even realise they were fuses and if this was due to me getting the lowest priced suits.

Was wondering if anyone had recommendations for any other MTM suit suppliers in Sydney with good or decent price to value ratio.

Or if people have had better experiences with Institchu and stitched canvas.

Thanks for your time!

Morning all,

Previously have owned a pair of A Brand "A Cropped Straight" jeans, which I absolutely love. I've got bigger thighs, and often find most jeans suffocate me around this area. Any recommendations for a similar comfort yet mildly relaxed fit?

Cheers

Hi r\AusMFA. What sort of sneakers would you recommend to wear with chino shorts that are good for walking? My go to has been white leather Common Projects, but after something more comfortable for walking like an hour in, but that still look a bit dressier than running sneaks that have felt a little too casual. Thanks!

hi all, as mentioned in the title, im hoping for reviews or recommendations for sunglasses. ive done some research and here's what im looking for:

• my budget ideally is under $200 but im okay with $300. that said, im not going for brand names like d franklin, oakley etc.
• decent build quality
• prescription + polarised lenses + tint. no need for the high index lenses. my intended use is for the city with lots of sun reflection off glass windows
• going for a casual look, and im still debating on mirrored or not

im new to sunglasses, please go easy on me!

Are there any Australian or NZ fashion instagram/tiktok accounts that you follow and recommend?

Does anyone know of brands that have pants with 35 inch inseams? Most brands seem to max out at 34.

Where do 6’4 plus MFA users get pants?

Hi guys, Just got my pants hemmed today for 10 bucks. Seems a bit short with boots imo. What do y’all think? Should I take it to the tailor again? Cheers https://ibb.co/6rjWShH https://ibb.co/sb3QvK4

I was curious because their watches are always at a big discount compared to places like Myer.

Hey everyone,

I run a jewellery label, and I wanted to share why we approached Black Friday a little differently this year. Normally, we completely shut down during Black Friday because we don’t participate in the discount frenzy—it just doesn’t align with what we stand for.

But this year, we thought it made more sense to keep things open and do something positive instead. So, we donated up to 40% of our profits to causes we care about because we believe money is better in the hands of people doing good.

If you’re curious, I wrote a bit more about it here: This Black Friday, Shop With Purpose.

I’d love to hear what others think about Black Friday. Do you think it still serves a purpose for businesses, or has it just become noise at this point?

I need to buy a decent cologne. Not an everyday one, but one for special occasions.

Interested in the popular ones but also the decent ones that are perhaps underrated/uncommon.

Thanks

Would like a good quality black suit and shirt that is maybe around the ~1k mark.

Planning to wear it to weddings and formal business meetings.

I am sacking Institchu.

Some recommendations I've heard are MJ Bale, Suit Supply and Bentex but I don't know anything about them.

Does anyone now if suit supply have sales? Tracked them during Black Friday and didn’t anything. Wondering whether anyone knows if there will be anything for Boxing Day?

Hawesandcurtis vs Herring shoes Navy suede loafers?

I recently bought some navy suede loafers from Politix, but the 44 was too tight and the 45 had some heel slip. I'm a 11.5 US in sneakers. I measured my right foot (it's larger than my left one) to be 285mm. I have flat feet with no arches, so I think they're a bit wider than normal feet.

I am trying to decide between these https://www.hawesandcurtis.com.au/mens-navy-suede-loafer1-oepjc206-g01 and these https://www.herringshoes.co.uk/herring/ibstock-ii_hybrid-soled-loafers/navy-suede/sale as they seem like good quality and have 10.5 UK which is my size. Which should I go for? Thanks

I really want some navy suede loafers. I bought these from Politix in size 45 https://www.politix.com.au/suede-loafer/53502290.html after trying them briefly in store in both 44 and 45; size 45 felt more comfortable. I ordered them online since it was cheaper during the sale. When I wore them at home I noticed they were slipping at the heels a bit, with the slippage more severe in my smaller left foot. I went to the store to try size 44 again and it felt really tight, and I could see my pinky toe bulging through the leather, but my heel wasn't slipping anymore.

I am a US 11.5 in sneakers, and I own a pair of Oxford dress shoes from Peter Jackson in 44. My right foot is larger than my left by almost a centimetre. I also have flat pancake feet with zero arches, so I like wider shoes more.

What should I do?

Hi all.

Looking for recommendations for boxers. The last ones I bought were from https://mintwear.co/password which lasted about two years but they appear to be on hiatus and my current ones are pretty threadbare.

Looking for boxers that:

• Make sizes for a larger/heavier dude (191 cm 130kg)
• Are breathable and don't chaffe too badly
• Are good quality (happy to pay for it)

Thanks in advance.

I ordered two suits.

Pics here: https://imgur.com/a/vaz7Zxs

One is a navy and one is black. Exact same measurements but some how came out so different to each other and both have so many wrinkles. Even with the pants, one was tighter than the other?

They are currently undergoing the first round of alterations so I guess I'll see what it looks like after that.

I'm honestly just not hopeful given how many fixes they'll have to make.

Has anyone ever gotten a cash refund at Institchu? I don't want credit as I don't intend on going back.

Unfortunately I can't post a photo on this sub but today I dressed in green army/khaki coloured chinos with light-ish brown casual shoes (soft leather) and put my standard black business socks and it looked shocking.

What socks colour should I have worn?

Thanks

Not sure if I’m allowed to post like this, but I couldn’t find a regular subreddit so here goes.

First time trying some relaxed fit pants. They’re just linen pants and a knit polo. How does it look?

I can’t really decide on a pair of shoes that would go with the pants and I’m not sure if the pants look a bit too feminine?

Edit: Just wanted to drop a quick thanks to all the legends who commented with some excellent advice on how to better style myself.

Hi! Looking for recommendations on a tailor in Sydney, preferably one that makes the clothes locally. I’ve had bad experiences with services that send away to make the suit. Cheers!

Hey I’m an American looking for a resell of the Mutimer water bottle in black, a bit niche ,but I came here because I thought this could possibly be where I had the best chance of finding a seller. Cheers

Hi everyone,

Can anyone suggest me any good brands stocking front pockets t shirts for men.

I mostly see most of them don't many options, barely 1 or 2,is it because Aussies don't like front pockets?

Any help would be much appreciated

Edit: some people had query why I'm looking for front pocket t shirt. I'm looking for those to gift it to my dad, who is a senior citizen now!! They still live old school way, front pockets are must for them!! My dad always has a pen, cash, and cards in his front pockets

Thanks in advance ❤️

Need advice

My thighs are a bit larger for my waist size which results in wearing out the inner thigh region of my pants quite easily. I even had a pair of Prada wearing out within 6 months (like fabric rubbing and weakened/tear. Yes, Prada did not last as long as my Tarocash that I wore every day).

The result is that now I have a few jackets that did not have the pants that come with it. They are mostly black. So does this mean I can just try to get as close a black to these jackets? but will I have to match the style closely? Or should I just wear these with contrasting colours like white/light brown? This is for work, and normally I will wear shirt and tie with these (but not so formal that I need a vest). I have been just getting away with tie and shirt without jacket, but thought I can wear a jacket for the colder months (rather than my woolen vest jumpers). And maybe get away without the tie.

I also have one that has thin white vertical stripe. Does this mean my only option is to take my jacket to the shops and look for something that has the same spacing lines?

Thanks

Tittle pretty much sums it up. I’m Looking for some comfortable and durable loafers, more specifically ones that has a thick sole or platform ones like the dc martin adrian tassel smooth bex. I’ve found a couple online but most of them were over seas or just really bad quality (according to reviews). Call me old but I'd want to try them on to see how it fits before buying but also be open to just ordering it online. I'm not trying to spend anymore than $200 on the pair.
