An interview with our Head of Tailoring, the champion of our Made to Measure Service, Mr Massimo Guglielmi.
Read on….
Based: 7 Macquarie Place, Circular Quay (but travels frequently for MTM appointments!)
Item you never leave home without: My sunglasses. I have lens for most of light conditions … I feel naked without them!
Most amusing question a Made to Measure client has asked: Countless of them, but one in particular is still impress in my mind: “Is it ok to dry-clean my suit once a week?”
Essential style tip: Be experimental until you’ll naturally find your look.
Favorite Sydney spot: Hugo’s (Manly) at Sunset.
Preferred tie knot: Four-in-Hand
What is the biggest challenge facing Sydney men to stay well-styled?: Majority of men in Sydney underestimate the importance of style and still consider it as mere vanity. They don’t realise that style is an expression of personality and the clothes they wear are a medium of communication.
The challenge is to find that individual style that complements and shows a man’s personality to the outside world. It takes some effort but once tapped into there are so many benefits this can bring to a man both professionally and socially…

A quick getaway this Easter is at the top of all of our minds. But the hard part is knowing what to pack for simple, classic style on your long weekend.
We’ve got 3 great suggestions to make this easy for you!
1. Remember to pack items that can be worn more than once! Pack some Merino Pullovers - with the quick changes to the weather recently, Merino Knitwear in a plethora of Autumnal colours is the key to keeping warm.
2. Shirts, shirts & more shirts! Checks, Stripes & a few classic polains. Shirts are versatile and look great under a Jacket or Knit. We recommend a textured Herringbone Twill or Pinpoint for structure, warmth and clean weekend style.
3. Don’t forget to pack some Accessories. They can easily take your look from day to evening, or mix up an outfit you may decide to wear more than once. Plus - Bow Ties and Scarves take up minimal packing space (who wants to carry a heavy bag!) and showcase some sharp, sartorial style.

Autumn Racing Carnival - what’s your style?
Racing season is a time to don your finest suit, polish your shoes and reach for the pocket square; a perfect occasion to express your most sartorial self. There are few restrictions, but elegance is the aim of any race day event. Autumn racing is no time to dress like you have rushed out of the office; however you need not match your outfit to the hue of your partner’s head piece. A flash of colour is fabulous, but avoid looking like a child’s birthday cake – it’s all about balance.
In planning your outfit I suggest a light charcoal or navy soft-shouldered suit; our Uptown Sharkskin and Washington Twill are two wonderful options. Whatever shade you choose, the cut is everything. Pop into one of our stores to discuss how a suit should fit. Tips: the shoulders should not be too wide and, although the length of your trouser is more subjective, there are still right and wrong ways to go about it.
Pair your tailored suit with a coloured gingham shirt and knitted tie, or opt for a classic white Herringbone weave shirt with a wonderful silk number. The pocket square is an indulgent bit of fun, not really needing to match anything, but a chance to complement your winning combination.
Finally, the shoes. In my opinion, the most important factor to finish any outfit. Avoid anything white, pointed, and anything that becomes higher at the tip. As you’re not in a corporate environment, you have the freedom to wear those tassel loafers or monk straps you treated yourself to and have been dying to wear.
Good luck and do pop into our stores this racing season for advice from our perfectly chosen staff.
— Christian, Store Manager at our Collins Place, Melbourne store.

Most amusing question a customer has asked: A lovely lady once asked me, “What size shirt should I get my husband?”, presenting me with a passport-style photo from her bag.

Build your wardrobe around classic items, like our charcoal Finlay suit, navy Washington Twill suit, and classic white & blue Herringbone weave shirts. Add fresh colours & accessories from the new collection to make your look as individual as you are.
