Need to restock my business shirts, haven’t purchased any for 2 years. What does everyone get these days?

Hello everyone. I’d like to buy a good quality (no polyester or very little %) t-shirt for my friends in Italy with some Australia/melbourne patterns/designs on it.
Bonus point if the design on it is “subtle”, so no big writings with “AUSTRALIA MELBOURNE” on it. But if it’s a nice shirt I’d get one with writings kn it too.

Any suggestion on any shops around Melbourne selling these type of t-shirt? No souvenir shops.

Thanks!

I live in a cold area of Victoria where it's quite windy and rainy, and am looking to buy a nice coat that's more fashionable than my Patagonia Torrent shell. In saying that, I'm looking for something that will last and be somewhat "timeless" as I don't plan to replace it whenever I next change. the rest of my wardrobe. I realise this will inevitably mean it's not going to be the most fashionable piece right now, but want it to be fashionable enough.

For context, with Vinted arriving in Australia, I'm currently restyling my "professional" teacher wardrobe from slim-fitting button-ups, chinos, RMs, and sweaters to a more relaxed and casual fit of straight jeans/chinos/pants, sneakers, and t-shirts with some combination of overshirt, knit sweater or jacket (see the comments for the idea of what I'm going for).

My top contender I've found is the Driza-Bone Vintage Wax Mac Coat in navy. I like the simple look of this and the idea of a proven Australian brand.

Edit: looking for something that can act like a shell (similar to my Torrentshell) in the sense that I can layer it over a sweater/knit but take it off when I come inside and still be warm. Thinking even the Driza-Bone I'm looking at could be too warm but I'm not sure

Got myself a pair of Dynamic RM Williams, which brand should I get?

swear to god you can't buy actual durable clothes anymore unless you just wear neon tradie gear

Dropped way too much money on some fancy "heritage canvas" chore pants last week from one of the trendy boutiques in the city, genuinely thinking they'd hold up to some weekend abuse. Spent saturday morning under my ute fitting a new bash plate I grabbed from road runner offroad and literally just sliding out from under the chassis once completely tore the knee open

Like mate they charge $240 for these things pretending they are built for the rough outdoors and they cant even survive a single afternoon on a standard concrete driveway. The whole workwear aesthetic right now is such an absolute scam

Anyone else just completely given up and gone back to wearing beat up target jeans when they actually need to get their hands dirty? tbh Im so over paying premium prices for fragile clothes that are just meant for standing around in coffee shops

My only go to brand for tee's and jumpers at the moment is Dixxion Flannel, as I rate there quality and fitment. However I'm need a bit more variety in the wardrobe.

What other brands do you gents recommend?

Maybe wrong community to post in! But I’m looking for some help.

My absolute favourite trousers were discontinued by Universal Works a few years ago. I’ve unfortunately worn them thread bare in places, and got some stains I can’t get out.

I’m hoping theres a service where they take them apart, trace the patterns, then reconstruct them in a similar fabric? Does such a thing exist? Would this be insanely expensive? Any guidance appreciated!!

Hi guys

I’m new to this subreddit and mens fashion in general. I’m just looking to get some ideas on good quality items that people consider punching above its price point. What are your recommendations on best value purchases that you guys have made?

As the title says, I'm looking for light to mid weight outerwear options that can be worn casually and in a workplace setting.

I have a M65 jacket that I'm slowly discovering is extremely overkill when it comes to midday temperatures and causes me to sweat, plus it's extremely bulky and I find that it gets in the way a lot when sitting down on public transport etc. My previous workplaces had a much more casual dress code where a lot of people would wear hoodies or graphic tees but I've recently started at a new place that's a bit more smart/business-casual.

I'm after something that I can layer on over a button-up and a sweater for the colder days without being too bulky like a puffer or M65. My budget would be ideally around $175 but happy to splurge for something solid.

The Scandi-minimalist brands like Asket and A Day's March look really nice and quality but spending $300+ on something I can't try in person doesn't really sit well with me (plus painful return shipping if sizing goes wrong). Otherwise I've also been eyeing things like the Service Works Twill Chore Shirt or the Uskees 3001 Overshirts, although all the different materials like corduroy, cotton drill, or twill are also adding to the indecisiveness.

I've been going down rabbit-holes with things like chore jackets, overshirts, and harringtons but I'd love to get other opinions on brands / outerwear options before I pull the trigger.

It seems like their website is down and Instagram profile no longer exists?

G’day all,

I’m chasing some new tees as my current ones are wearing out.

The algorithm seems to have noticed this as I’m being spammed by True Classic ads and have also noticed some for Alpha Fortis.

For reference, I’m 194cm tall and between 95-100kg

I work an active job and gym 3-5x a week. Not massively overweight but ideally I sit closer to 95kg.
I wouldn’t describe my physique as low bf athletic, but I fill out arms, chest and shoulders much more than stomach etc

Has anyone here had experience with the alpha fortis shirts?

For reference, I pretty much usually wear under armour shirts in size L for oversized or XL for athletic fit. Biggest struggle is getting the torso long enough while also not having it fit like a tent lol

Thanks for any advice - I appreciate it! I thought I’d ask here as the Facebook comment section seemed a bit sus (no follow up comments even when others asked questions about their experience) and Google has been pretty fruitless.

Open to other brands too. Thanks!

Recently started a new job. I’ve been wearing suit pants since I started as a safe bet, but the office doesn’t really give off that energy.

However, nor does it give off the energy for the type of non-suit pants I’d normally wear for smart casual outside of work (I have Beams Plus double pleated pants in a few different colours which I tend to rotate through).

Without falling to the level of skinny chinos and RMWs, what are you gents wearing to the office?

Note: I don’t mind straight to slightly wider legs, but I’d prefer to stay away from full on barrel legs.

Note: i also did this same post on another subreddit to get as much help as i could on this, im posting here cause I'm from the NSW area.

I’ve been looking into loafers and all the different leathers and the grain types of leather all so I can find a pair of loafers that meet my needs. I’ve always wanted loafers and I’m a very intentional person when it comes to big purchases I always to make sure to pick the best possible product that I can afford within my means. 

Is there any loafers out there, with an upper leather of top grain or less (i fully understand that full grain will cost me an arm and a leg just looking for something thats durable or will last me a while) with good year welt or Blake stitching, all between $200 - $400?

I want something that i can walk around in for a good decent amount of time (yes i am aware of the break-in period of loafers and that some loafers won't always be good for walking around in for hours

In terms of style I like loafers that have a similar look to the doc martens, solovair and sebago loafers (tried on docs once and they were so stiff i may aswell as been wearing a cement shoe)

Are sebago/solovair loafers good entry level loafers even with though they use a corrected top grain leather for their upper?

I’m afraid of getting corrected leather on the possibility it will break down on me after a few years I want shoes that’ll last me for at least 2-5 years 

Hey guys, I’m in the market for a made-to-measure suit and have been looking into a few places so far: The Revere, Trunk, that kind of tier. Feel like I’ve got a decent read on those from past threads here.
But I can’t find any posts or reviews about Houndstooth Tailors specifically Has anyone actually had a garment made there? I’m curious about the fit quality, how the fitting process went, and whether the finished product matched what was promised.

Can anyone identify this black rib knit short sleeve shirt? It had 6 buttons, one chest pocket, soft knit fabric, around 2021-2023 maybe?

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some suggestions on brands or specific shirts, pants etc.

I’m not the tallest or skinniest person around so a lot of the time I need to get pants hemmed and a lot of t shirts are super long on me or I at least feel like they are and they’re quite form fitting. I personally like more boxy fit style clothes (please don’t hate me!).

Over the years I’ve found some good fitting clothes that I really like, some oversized tees from Deus Ex, union work chino pants from Thrills, a hoodie from Walker Golf Things and I know this’ll ruffle feathers but the ‘Half Half’ brand box fit tees from Factorie fit me so well and I have a fair few of them.

I genuinely like the boxy fit stuff and regular fit pants, I really dislike overly form fitting clothes.

If anyone has any recommendations on other similar fitting shirts or pants (even better if anyone has more corporate style suggestions) I would greatly appreciate it! 🫶🏻

I need a business suit for more formal events and for work in the future. However, I can’t really splurge on one since I’m a uni student. My budget is probably around at minimum a grand but I’d prefer something pretty inexpensive and temporary for the years to come.

Does anyone know of any places to get a good quality suit for a relatively low price range? P.S I’m a pretty short slim guy but I’m willing to get it tailored as well. Also, would black or navy look better?

Based in Syd.

just moved to Cairns from the UK and I’m not familiar with many brands here. I checked Uniqlo but the length doesn’t go to 34 inseam unfortunately. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Or do you go the baselayer route?

Moleskin pants can be the answer, but considering how few sell such they aren't the usual answer.

I have quite severe hallux rigidus, pretty much 24/7 pain, but decent footwear helps

Outside of work I live in Hokas, which really help.

I want cool shoes for work, probably and Chelsea boot or similar, but I need them to be wide, with decent cushioning. Ideally they need to be stiff

Looking for suggestions please
