Spring Racing Suits for Melbourne CBD clients
We will help you choose a cloth that photographs well and stays comfortable in changeable spring weather.
Spring racing is the season to wear something with character: lighter wools, linens, checks and colour.
Many Melbourne CBD clients wear a suit most days, so durable cloths and a reliable fit matter most.
Clients from the CBD and inner city often pop over on their lunch break or after work; Bridge Road is a short tram ride east.
Melbourne CBD is about 3 km from our showroom at 214 Bridge Road, Richmond.
If you are coming from Melbourne CBD, Southbank or Docklands, a weekday appointment is usually the quietest time to visit.
We see clients from across City of Melbourne, including Melbourne CBD (3000).
We don't hand your garment over until you're happy with the fit. Any adjustments are made by our in-house tailor.
