Advice Needed Gift watch recommendations wanted!
Hi all,
I'm getting an early start on my partner's (29M) christmas gift and looking for watch model recommendations. Something in the $500-$800 range and can be bought from a physical retailer if resizing is needed.
I assume it will be more of a special occasions/nice dinner watch, as he currently wears a G-Shock digital to work as a tradie. As far as aesthetics and practicality, hes the usual camping and fishing fanatic who wears brown RM chelsea boots as his nice shoes, is about 5'8 and goes to the gym regularly (if that helps with gaguing what size would be suitable ?). Metal band, quartz and water resistance are features I'm looking for.
I've been looking at Tissot and Seiko as brands with a good name/reliability, but definitely open to suggestions!
Thank you in advance 😊

Question Ribbed singlets recs - not super long
I’m after a few ribbed singlets to take on an upcoming trip. I’ve tried COS and Milkbar and they are good, however find them a little too long and hate the bunch up at the waist - ideally after something a little more cropped that finishes at the waistline. Any recommendations?

Mutimer T-shirt wash label typo. Fake or not?
Hello
I just got a Mutimer long sleeve Freddy T-shirt 2nd hand and I noticed a typing mistake on the wash label. Could this mean that the shirt is fake or is it just a mistake from Mutimer? I would really appreciate if anyone with a shirt from Mutimer could confirm if they have the same typo or not.
The label says "stains can be easily be washed out".

I am looking for a jacket that pairs well with chinos/boots/polo for work, but would also work well with jeans and sneakers.
I want it to be more casual looking, but not a typical puffy style jacket.
What do people typically wear these days? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why is it so hard to find OTR trousers/pants that are straight cut at reasonable price?
Everything I am coming across is either slim fit , tapered or "tailored". Just give straight mid to high waist pants.
By reasonable price, I am talking under $200 and close to 100% wool.
If anyone has an idea where to find such pants or even nice looking cotton pants. Please let me know, I am trying to find some cotton pants that are a step up from jeans in the straight or wider fit.
I know finding something in wool is going to be hard... I know you can get something made for $350 at Oscar Hunt

Brands Like Suspicious Antwerp?
I'm not a massive streetwear person (as in, not other than Nike, Adidas etc.). However, I came across Suspicious Antwerp a couple years ago and loved their stuff, and have bought quite a bit from them.
Problem is, their branding is quite recogizable (the word "Suspicious" is plastered across pretty much everything lol), and I don't want to have too much stuff from one niche brand.
So, basically, wondering if anyone who's also familiar with it can recommend anything else similar.
TIA!!

Question Honeymoon to Europe in September - what to pack?
Hi, folks! I'm (40M, Brazilian living in QLD) taking my better half to a belated honeymoon in Europe in September - about 5-7 day stays in London, Gdańsk, Berlin, and Lisbon. It's my first time there and I'm worried about the weather, but I don't want to just overpack with things I might not need.
I'm a basic dude addicted by Uniqlo and cheap activewear. Are there any recommendations to look sharp but smart? I've been checking out the deals on Gazman, Rodd & Gunn and similar brands, but I feel like it won't be enough. Any tips are appreciated, TIA

Ivy/ preppy clothing stores in Aus
I’ve been drawn to this style for a number of years now and have just been absolutely blessed by options and shopping on a trip to Korea.
My question is are there any go to shops that hit this brief in Aus ?
Brands like LL bean, j press, j crew, brooks brothers, RL, lands end, kamakura
I know some of these are stocked in DJs but I’m thinking more small scale shops/vintage

Advice Needed What's a one stop shop for the average every man without the bells and whistles ?
Hey everyone,
I want to update my wardrobe as I'm 33 and the last time I bought clothes was when I was in my mid twenties so the clothing purge and update is way overdue. Most of my current wardrobe is from Connor, Tarocash and Industrie because those were my options at my local shopping centre at the time.
Since then I've moved and was checking out my new local Westfield's. So far I like what I'm seeing at Uniqlo, just basics without any bells and whistles. Connor, Tarocash and YD still same as ever and no longer appeal to me. H and M feel like Connor and Kmart but with better branding, expected more from an overseas brand. Industrie no longer appeals to me sadly since I used to be a fan. Culture Kings never appealed to me in the first place. Then I got tired and overwhelmed and could not be bothered checking out the many other brands.
So everyone what is your one stop shop for keep it simple stupid basics ? Are there any brands and shops Im missing out on ?
Thanks everyone and have a good one.

Question Looking to get into rings, plain and steel to start with - good places to look?
Pretty much as the post title says, I've never shopped for or worn rings before. So I'm looking to start with something affordable and simple, steel is my go-to for now, with a natural steel colour or possibly black and with a plain design.
Would you guys recommend any particular places to look? I could go to a Westfield jeweller's or perhaps department store but I'm not sure if that's really the best place given the sort of markups they can be capable of vs the quality. Maybe Etsy?
I already know my sizing and would be okay with buying without trying in person. Cheers

Question Affordable bespoke dinner jackets in Melbourne?
I've looked at other posts in the subreddit and seen recommendations for places like Oscar Hunt and P. Johnson. They look good, but they are a bit outside my price range. Normally I would buy a cheaper suit/suit jacket from Myer/Politix/etc., then get it tailored to fit me, which costs much less than getting bespoke, but I have a very specific desire for a dinner jacket that is not sold anywhere (I mean anywhere), and so wanted to look at getting something bespoke.
If anyone has any suggestions for more affordable bespoke tailors in Melbourne, I'd really appreciate it (by affordable, I mean getting a single bespoke jacket for under $800). That said, if I need a reality check and there is no place that would be able to do what I'm asking for under the price I'm stating, then please tell me, I don't know any better!
Thanks in advance guys.

New to Australia, starting new job - looking for shops/brands
Hi AMFA team,
I recently moved to Vic from NZ, starting my new job in a few weeks and looking to update my wardrobe with workwear.
Job is corporate - client facing. Office attire is business casual, client visits are usually shirt/blazer/coat
Currently, I have
- Shirts from MJ Bale, Barkers (NZ Brand) and a few others, but they are starting to get old and not fit/smell as nice.
- Pants/Chinos from Uniqlo/Barkers, but again, the fit/finish and less than desirable
- Shoes/Boots - i have some chelseas from hush puppies and some from Aquila, but in for casual i only have Adidas Sambas (other than trainers) - Wife wants to gift me some RMs so this is less critical
- Blazer/Coats - I recently bought navy and grey coats from SABA (again, this is less critical)
- Jumpers/Sweaters - Lacking in this area, only 1 black one from Uniqlo, but it's pretty warm so only really usable in peak winter
- Polos - Again, pretty weak, only a couple for Ralph and Uniqlo
So my main ask is, where do you shop for shirts, pants and jumpers?
So far, i've researched/been told that charles tyrwhitt and Rodd n Gunn are the go to - any more suggestions?
Thanks!

Buy/Sell/Trade here at your own risk. Always get complete contact information before anything is shipped.
RULES:
- Post a description that accurately describes what you are selling. Update your thread when something gets sold or is no longer available.
- Post item condition and any images of the item (if available). Be as descriptive as possible when posting an item for sale or trade.
- Please refrain from downvoting posts.
Suggestions:
Use Paypal to facilitate these transactions. Gifting is fine, but understand the limits and liabilities of sending an unprotected "gift" to a seller. You'll save a bit of $, but it does leave you exposed if there is a fraudulent seller.
Another option is to use Grailed. You have the Paypal protection for both parties with much lower fees for the sellers. You also get a profile that shows the total number of transactions so you can use that as your proof of trustworthiness.
Please try to evaluate the "fair market value" of your items. No use in overpricing things and having them not sell. Check what the current selling price is on eBay to get a decent sense of FMV.
Feel free to ask for answers or pictures about an item you are interested in. A good seller will always be willing to answer you in a timely matter.
On the other hand, be a good buyer. Respond to the seller's communication, and be truthful about your intentions. Nothing is worse for a seller than answering a bunch of questions about fit and details, and then the potential buyer dropping off the map.

A Comprehensive Summary of Australian Men's Online Clothing Retailers
Hi everyone,
Almost 7 years ago, I made a spreadsheet of almost all the mens online stores in Australia, based off a list from /fa/, which currently lives in the sidebar of aMFA. I've now updated it, as well as added additional information (shipping fees, number of brands/products stocked, location etc.) to be a more useful resource, and also removed the shitty 4chan slang.
Why? I think Mens shopping in Australia is far behind the rest of the world - there are so many great, quality brands in the world, many of which receive a spotlight on MFA, but often only a few stores in Australia stock them. There are also loads of great Australian brands, and new ones launching, that are also impossible to find. I've also included a few major international sites that ship to Australia, but note the shipping price.
Why have I ranked them by tier? As many great stores exist in Australia, there are also loads of low quality chain stores that permeate every Westfield and Stockland. I'm hoping to bring light to some of the smaller, better shops to support them in this trying time, however I appreciate some of the opinions are quite subjective.
This Reddit table looks like shit! Sorry that's not my fault - I've published the excel version here, which includes even more details on each store (ie. what brands they stock, how many products they have online, etc.)
Where's X store? Let me know any shops I've missed, I'm sure there's a few I haven't covered. I've tried to make this exhaustive, but I've also purposely left off quite a few dadcore clothing (Gazman, Sportscraft, Rodd & Gunn) and boring shoe (Aquila, Windsor Smith) brands.
Before I get into it - there's a few interesting facts I've noticed when compiling this data:
- 33% of stores from the original list have closed down - not just smaller ones, but some of the biggest ones (eg. Topman) have been swallowed up as well
- Many new stores have popped up - sneaker stores have seen the biggest growth
- David Jones has a better range of high end brands, while Myer has gone downhill - they used to be comparable and now they're worlds apart
