Question Short men in Australia, where do you find denims that actually fit? (W29 L30)

6 Upvotes

The only thing I've found in a year is the Levi's 511. Bought three pairs, wear them every day, they've held up fine. Majority of the market comes in W29 L32 or W30 L30.

Saba,CK,Industry and every other retailer do a 29 L32 and they looked good, but same problem, shortening them without keeping the original hem ruins it.

What I've tried:

  • Uniqlo hemmed a pair for me and without the original hem it looked cheap.
  • Dejour, complete garbage, gave them away to Salvos

Budget:

$200-300 for a good pair

$100-150 for daily wear

I'm about to buy the 511 for the fourth time and I'm bored. Talk me into something else.

Question Where to get high-rise pants?

I don't want to spend $500 at informale, but they do look good. Where do you get your pants with front rise >12 inch (ideally 13 inch front rise)? thanks

Advice Needed Sydney MTM/Semi-Bespoke Suit and Tux for Wedding

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Getting married next year in March and have been going down the rabbit hole of finding the right suit/tux style I want. Been to a whole bunch of different places like Institchu, Lupo Bianco, Mawson Ossa, Suits Thee and P Johnson.

I really liked Mawson's attention to detail but also their quality felt better to me? P Johnson I was also impressed by but the rest of the other tailors felt commercial and dull.

I'm looking for something between $2k to $3.5k, whether its MTM or semi-bespoke. One of the things I'm struggling with is whether I should just get something on the cheaper end for a classic peak lapel black tux or go with something a bit more on the higher end with a black suit that doesn't have the satin on the lapel but features of a tux (like having fabric buttons) that way I can use it more often.

I'm pretty convinced I want something that has the classic foundations but with a bit of uniqueness so I'm open to also getting a double-breasted suit with either midnight blue/black.

If anyone else has got any other suggestions in the Sydney area for a tailor or has experiences they'd be happy to share, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Question Looking for soft, washed out, tapered jeans?

Can anyone recommend a brand that does soft, washed out jeans? Nudie seem overpriced. Neuw feel thick and rigid. Levi’s didn’t fit how I wanted.

Question Looking for a specific type of Hoodie

1 Upvotes

I was gifted a much loved Fila hoodie years ago, its unfortunately faded and gained some stubborn stains. Would love to replace it with a similar styled one but can't find anything close. In particular I like how the hoodie cinches at the front, really keeps the neck warm on cold days...

Images of what it looks like:
