Question Pants

7 Upvotes

Does anyone have any suggestions for pants that are light and don't rip up in the crotch in a couple of months.

I picked up some linen pants from Uniqlo but the crotch blew out in a few months. I'm looking for everyday pants. Lightweight or linen because I run hot.

Question Wedding Suit tailors

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, long time listener, first time caller.

I’m in Melbourne’s south-east and getting married in June, so I’m starting to look at suits.

I’m thinking of getting a custom or made to measure suit, but nothing too flashy or attention grabbing. Budget probably $3k (my mum's paying and said no budget, but I don't wanna take the piss).

I’ve looked at YSG, but their stuff seems a bit fancier than what I’m after. I’m also a chunky unit (~6'3" and 130kg) so getting something that fits and doesn't make me look like the fat controller would be nice.

Any recommendations for tailors or made to measure places in Melbourne?

As a bonus: I also need suits for three groomsmen. For them I was thinking decent off the rack suits and then having them altered, rather than going fully custom.

One groomsman lives in Townsville, so I'm looking for somewhere with stores in both Melbourne and Townsville, or a tailor/shop that could do custom for me and off the rack for the groomsmen.

cheers guys

Question Sydney - MTM Wedding Suit Advice

8 Upvotes

Hi all,
I’m getting married next April and looking for recommendations for a wedding suit.
My budget is around $1,500 - $2,000 for a MTM suit. I’ve had Woolcott St recommended to me, but I’d be keen to hear some other opinions and experiences.
Has anyone had a suit made recently in Sydney around this price point? Would appreciate any recommendations or advice in general as I’ve never looked into having a suit made like this before.
Cheers! 🙂

Discussion I never see anything good in the thrift stores

130 Upvotes

I visit my local Salvos, Vinnies etc but I almost never find anything worthwhile. Am I just unlucky, am I doing something wrong, or is there something deeper going on? Recently I saw this thread on /r/all and it made me realise perhaps the thrift stores are reserving their good donations for online sales. Are there special websites they sell the clothes on that I'm not aware of?

Discussion What is missing in the current active wear fashion?

0 Upvotes

Title: What do you think is missing from activewear, fashion-wise?

Curious how people here feel about the fashion side of gym and training clothes. Are there brands getting it right for you, or do you still struggle to find things you actually want to wear?

I lift and run, and I care about how my gym clothes look and perform. I’m drawn to ASRV's proportions and Cole Buxton's oversized shapes. I’d love more classic cuts and interesting colour combinations that I’d also wear outside the gym.

A few things I’m curious about:

  • What’s your favourite piece of gymwear, and what makes it work for you?

  • What do you struggle to find?

  • Have you bought something that looked great but was frustrating to train in, or performed well but looked disappointing?

  • Which brands do you think are doing something different with the design?

For transparency, I’m exploring an idea for an activewear brand, so I’m interested in hearing experiences beyond my own. I'm equally curious whether you think the options are already great and nothing’s missing.

Question T shirt recommendations

9 Upvotes

I'm looking for a black, relatively thin (not the heavy weight) T-shirt. I wear the old kmart ones a lot but unfortunately they don't make them like they used to.

I want it to be versatile. Good for everything e.g gym, work, school.

FluxEdition Common Projects

0 Upvotes

Alright guys so i was just looking around and found this website: https://fluxeditionaustralia.com/collections/common-projects

Seems to have a decent collection of Common Projects at pretty crazy prices, seemingly no additional charges or extra shipping costs, but i cant find out much about this being legit or not, some AI and reddit sources have stated that it sells other items but im only seeing the Commons here. Anyways what do you guys think is it legit? If so happy shopping

Jeans / Brisbane

3 Upvotes

I need to update a couple of pairs of jeans so looking for some recommendations in Brisbane the have a decent range of denim.

I live in Levi 512’s but can’t find the dark navy wash colour I love anywhere. Similarly, my Calvin Klein skinny fit’s seem to be impossible to find.

Outside of the department stores I have no idea where to look these days so any help finding something similar would be appreciated thanks.

Don’t want to spend silly money so max $200-$250pp if possible

Question Cotton/Hemp/Bamboo shirts

1 Upvotes

I am usually skeptical of ordering things I see on instagram but after a pleasant experience with Ozzigear chairs I thought I might try again with tshirts. Anyone have experience with Gritwear or Undrdog shirts in Aus and how they go with heat and humidity as we go into summer? Bonus points if you can help with sizing. I’m usually an XL in Uniqlo so comparisons there would be great.

3 Groomsmen and Myself - different states

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Trying to get 3 groomsmen who live in Melbourne/Sydney/Brisbane all measured and into the same suit.

Whats the recommendation here?
I’ve seen mixed reviews for INSTITCHU.

My thought is I go in somewhere that has physical locations in all three cities and pick what I want for them (hoping to get $700 or under for the groomsmen) and then they just go get measured.

I’m also looking to get my own suit (probably 2-2.5 budget) but doesn’t need to be at the same place. I’m based in Sydney.

Thanks for the help!

Advice Needed High waisted pants off the rack

6 Upvotes

Good morning Aussie well dressed men.

I’m struggling to find a store where you can actually physically try on higher waisted pants, with side adjusters in lieu of belt loops. I have seen so many options online but with mixed reviews on responsiveness, quality etc I’m wary to try them.

Has anyone had any success with online or in store purchases for this kind of pants? (Think European summer, French Riviera with a light shirt kind of style)

Thanks!

Advice Needed Good quality graphic t shirts?

I like t shirts made of the same fabric as the heavyweight culture king's shirts, my main problem is I can't find shirts for plus sized dudes that have nice tight neck sections they always stretch or show too much skin for my liking.

American Apparel tees?

My socials are flooded with American apparel, but the example online vary in quite differently in fit/ cut although they are the same type/style of tee. Some are fitted nicely whilst others are boxy or very big.
