DENIM Update

Good news for everyone who’s been waiting for our new season jeans. Our delivery arrived today so we’re good to go.

2 new colours for this order (and a tweaked shape) – but our usual combo of an indigo and dark blue.   Will post some pics tomorrow…

Cloakroom Weddings

In the last 12 months we’ve seen an explosion  in the number of men choosing The Cloakroom to dress them for one of the most important days of their lives.

The pressure of finding a unique and personal look for the day can often be a daunting one, but we like to think that our team  are here to guide men through the big decisions that go into having a suit made for their wedding day.  The ability to choose the exact fabric texture for their suit, exact colour and style of shirt, length and width of tie, gives every man the individuality needed for his wedding party.

It’s always very rewarding to see the photos and to see so many guys looking amazing on the big day.

Here’s a few from the last year or so:

Recent Press

It’s always great to see our kit in print, and we’ve been fortunate enough in the last few weeks to have some fantastic press shot with our current season Pistols at Dawn collection.

Last Saturday’s Q Weekend (styled by Liz Golding).

And also a front cover and shoot in Feb’s Style magazine (styled by Calire Parviz).

 

New arrivals at The Cloakroom

Our eagerly awaited next drop of Cloakroom denim isn’t far away and we expect to have these on the shelf by early next week. Once again we’ll have a dark blue and an indigo on offer. The dark blue being a dressier jean with a dark finish on the stitch, while the indigo is more casual with a copper stitch.

Also arriving very soon (this week) will be our first shipment of Carminas, which are on a plane from Spain as we speak. These shoes are beautifully crafted and sure to get all the shoe enthusiasts out there very excited. As one of only 2 stockists in Australia we expect there to be a lot of interest, so if you are interested please don’t delay.

Here’s a sneak…

And we’ll have shell cordovan available by request

New beginnings at The Cloakroom

Another year has begun and is off to a flyer already. Here at the shop it’s business as usual as we settle in for what looks to be a very exciting 2012. We have lots happening and some exciting announcements to make in the next fe weeks so please stay tuned.

At the Brisbane shop we’re in the final throws of giving the store a facelift – not that we needed to, but it’s always nice to start the year with a fresh outlook and surroundings.  As well as accommodating clients with some spacious new change rooms we have a  new shoe area and also a dedicated Pistols at Dawn section in the store. This will house a more extensive range of our ready to wear pieces and include a seasonal collection of shirts, jackets, pants, shorts and accessories.

February also means a new season of fabrics (both shirting and suiting) and last week we had our first new bunches arrive from Dormeuil. Though we carry on a bit about how fantastic the Dormeuil cloth is they have put together some very special fabrics this season and if you’re in need of a new suit or jacket we have some fantastic options.`

For the moment our Sydney operation remains closed but we will begin our regular trunk shoes in 2 weeks time. We will be taking appointments and holding fittings Mon-Wed every 3 to 4 weeks in Sydney at a city location (to be confirmed). Stay tuned for more details.

We hope the year is off to a great start for you all and we look forward to seeing you soon.
