Oz clothes
I need a new suit and pair of good shoes.
Going in 5 weeks - and on the web the only two sites I could find were Lowes with shiny suits and River with exspensive cav gear.
Should I buy before I fly
Or go then spend my dough
See poetry there by the way!

Re: Oz clothes
provided you are not going to live in outback .....
myers, david jones offer a range of suits in the 200-500$ category. You can get everything up to Hugo Boss for 1000$+. Also some discount stores do boss etc for about 750$ on sale quit regularly.
if you are in UK Marks & Sparks suits ,if thats your taste, would be better value than the ones here.
lowes is bottom end of the market- 5$ shirts ! you dont want a suit from there.

Could not find anything too my taste in Canalli range here so will update again with shopping trip to Europe.
Casual wear however is different - big selection and some good quality beach/camping/hanging out gear.

Re: Oz clothes
If you're going via Singapore, you could get a quality hand made suit for a fraction of the price in the UK. Takes them 48 hours to make them.

Re: Oz clothes
It seems Oz isn't as online as us - therefore when searching for shops it seems limited but in actual fact they're just not online.
We bought our local paperwork when in SA last week and it made headlines that a local company had just gone online - thereby increasing their sales of trailors from 2 per year to 25!
