Default Dinner suit in Perth.

Can anyone recommend somewhere to buy a good dinner suit in Perth? Would rather get a good one as it is going to get some good use. Will also need white gloves. Any ideas?

No, but I'm very intrigued, especially with the white gloves. You moonlighting as a Michael Jackson impersonator, or checking for dust?

Joining the Masons or becoming an M.C. I reckon.

Try Tony Barlow for a new suit or hire, they are in Carillon City (3rd Level from Hay Street entrance). They sell gloves too.

If you are looking a bargain check Designer Mens Wear (same owner as Platinum Mens Wear in Hay Street, but clearance store). They have a clearance sale and are located in Plaza Arcade, entrance from Murray Street.

Good luck.

Thanks guys. I will check out some of the suggestions.

Renting isn't a option as I need it every month.

Yes, it is masons. Have my initiation next month.

No, membership is not secret. Some members chose not to make it public, that is up to them. Actually, a lot of masons wear insignia daily. We are not a secret society, just a society with secrets. As most societies are including (and to some extent more so) things such as rotary. How secret is really not important. You can google them and find out. That isn't why we regard them as secrets, what is important is that we consider they secret are by tradition.

Every lodge has regular open days where you can walk around and chat to members.

For those that are two uneducated or lazy. The masons are an organization that aims to provide brotherhood, help the unfortunate, and make a good man better

Eddie. Did you realize the masons are one of the biggest charity finders in the world. In my own area, we fund the biggest charity day of the year, we simply do not ask for recognition. Oh, and no, there is no funny handshake.

By disparaging the masons, all you say is that you aren't interested in giving up a bit of time for charity and that you are better suited to an online world rather than a real one with comradeship.
