Where to find a good scarf?

Looking to purchase a quality scarf, budget of 150-200 AUD. Something that will last many years as a workhorse item in winter and doesn't need to be babied.

I went online and saw a lot of wool scarves marketed as being "luxurious" and "soft", and my main concern is that these scarves are not what I'm looking for when it comes to something that I don't really have to take care of.

Any recommendations?

Best summer boxer briefs that are breathable

Been on Uniqlo Airism forever and the old ones were perfect. Bought the new seamless Airism and yeah, totally different material. Not breathable at all. 

Tried Step Ones since everyone hypes them. Too tight and warm plus that tag is annoying.

Anyone got a better option for summer? Just need something light, comfy, and not riding up.

Looking for t-shirts with neck holes that dont stretch over time

Title says it all. I have a large head and ruin many t shirts over time as the neck hole becomes misshapen

Men’s hair stylist for changing hair to adapt to thinning

Hi all,

Are there any professional hair stylists in Sydney that do consultations to help style hair to combat thinning/receding/general hairstyle changes to fit face shape etc?

Been looking through this sub + online and all the ones I’ve found just feel like regular barbershops. I’d like to speak to someone who’s a professional stylist that could advise me on the best hairstyle to rock for my face shape + thinning hair. Currently rocking a combover and been growing it out + using hair fiber to conceal thinning and am taking finasteride but would love a professional to help change my look.

Thank you!

Moving away from synthetic clothing.

I’ve made the decision to move away from synthetic clothing and go all natural fibres.

I need suggestions on the best brands to refill my wardrobe.

I think the items I need to replace first are, T-shirts, polos, shorts and pants. Happy with any price if the quality is great.

Loafers for wide feet

Hi All,

I have wide feet and struggle to find good loafers that fit me. I am a size UK 10.5 or 10 but often buy one or two sizes bigger just to find a loafer that fits me. The trouble with this is I have too much room up front in the shoe when I wear it.

Any idea which brands or stores I can look at that stock wider options?
I am willing to pay around $500 if it means I find something that fits me well and is good quality. So far I have tried bared, loakes and Aquila but no luck. Hush Puppies do have one that may work but that isn’t great either.

Cheers

Any leather jacket experts?

I M18 recently bought the ‘CLAYTON LEATHER AVIATOR JACKET’ (made from goat leather, not sure if top grain or full grain) from Levi’s Australia and I want to know whether the price of A$599.99 is worth it for this kind of quality. I read some other posts that said the quality of Levi’s jackets have declined. I am looking for a high quality that will last a long time. Any info is appreciated

Patchwork Shirts

I’m interested in getting a patchwork shirt, but I can’t find any which is similar to this one from Polo Ralph Lauren

https://www.ralphlauren.com.au/classic-fit-patchwork-shirt-3616855192004.html

What brand/s would you recommend me which makes shirts like this? I prefer a lighter colour. Budget preferably below 400 AUD, or 500 AUD at a stretch.

I can sew at a really beginner’s level so if at all possible, I would prefer not to make it myself since it is a very daunting project.

Oversized Fit

The trend in oversized fits is such a game changer as a larger man. I usually sit around a XXL to XXXL size in shirts and I've found with the trend of oversized shirts I'm actually able to find nice clothes from different brands that fit me well!

Cuban heel boots

Hey guys, I really enjoy wearing leather boots. Currently, I have two pairs (black and brown) of Chelsea boots. They are boss, and I paid around $200 for each. They are not R.M. Williams quality, but they are very good. Because I wear them a lot, they get beat up, and I was wanting a pair of nicer boots that I can wear on nights out. I really like the look of the R.M. Williams Santa Fé Cuban heel boots.

I was wondering if the quality of the R.M. Williams boots really justifies the price tag or if I should look somewhere else.

I included the link to the boots in the comments.

Decent Rodd & Gunn sale. Does anyone have recent experience with their wool knits?

On a bit of a budget but looking for a nice wool knit for an upcoming casual event and then more general wear - specifically looking at the Piper Creek knit. $249 down to $149 (btw isn't it crazy the mark ups all companies have at full price?)

Wondering if anyone has any experience with R&G knits and thoughts on their quality? Thanks :)

Denim x chino pants for work?

Apologies for the somewhat ambiguous title but I’m not sure how to explain it. I’ve seen people wear beige, brown and light grey coloured pants that look like a cross between jeans and chinos.

Anyone know what they actually are or recommended shops or brands?

Where are we buying good quality undies and socks?

I used to just get everything underwear from Bonds, but the last few orders the products have not lasted very well - going saggy, stretching and holes around the waistband.

Can anyone recommend a good quality, comfortable brand for undies and day-to-day socks? Don't need anything special, and am not against bright colours and novelty prints - but can't believe how often I'm buying undies recently.
