"I really like the way Dave Graney (Melbourne music icon) dresses. He's a total individual and not afraid to be himself. I try to do the same, but to a less extravagant degree. I bought this jacket at Greazefest in Brisbane from a hippie in tight pink pants. I found the shirt at the Espy hotel at a clothing sale, before it mysteriously closed its doors. I bought four groovy polyester ones just like this. Great in winter but a bit hot in summer. This outfit gets kudos from the good wife, who has her own fashion label, Bonsai Kitten. The black scarf goes with anything and has never been washed. In fact, you might want to run your lint roller over it now."

These are nice

Hello gents,

Steve here. I've been looking around for some decent cufflinks for a while, and I think I've finally found them, and for a good price too. Get those French cuffs out, because these babies can live on your wrist and take you to the zone where you will be remembered as a uniquely stylish individual.

Now, everyone knows that guns are not cool, especially if you're on the wrong end of one. But out of bad, beauty often comes. These cufflinks are made from recycled two tone 50 calibre silver nickel bullet casings (recycled is good, right?). The brass centre really sets the design off. They are made in the good ol' U.S of A and come with a gift box.

Delivery within the U.S. only.

"I’ve worn hats since I was 18. I bought this one from City Hatters, beside Flinders St Station. It’s a trilby made by Akubra, the only style that suits me. My shoes are handmade by Rocco in Malvern. It’s a family business and all the musicians go there. I can kill cockroaches in the corner with these! I had my waistcoat and shirt handmade in Vietnam about 12 years ago and they’ve lasted very well. My daughter Grace buys cufflinks for me. I really like the bulky antique ones with coloured patterns. I don’t try to consciously match the things I wear, but it all seems to go together somehow if it’s worn with confidence. I like looking nice, even around the home; I don’t own casual clothes at all except for shorts to wear at gym. I admire Elvis Costello’s style. He’s all about straight lines and good quality clothes."

"My grandfather, a tailor, made my waistcoat fourteen years ago for my engagement. It is in perfect condition. It's my favourite piece of clothing and goes with everything. I would describe my style as 'urban chic' - elegant yet comfortable in many different environments. Style is all about having that personal touch."

"Pretty much everything I wear has sentimental value. They are clothes I really love but other people sometimes think are daggy. I generally wear them until they fall off me (or are ripped off me in the case of a very memorable atomic wedgie a few years ago). This jacket was originally my father's, tailor-made for him. I rescued it just as he was about to throw it out. I love it and will never part with it. The hat was a gift from my partner Kirsty in an attempt to make me more fashionable. Behind every great man is a great woman trying to make him look better."
