But not as much as the other suit giants. Never fear if a bespoke custom suit is still out of reach, they stock a range off off the rack, limited run suits - so you're not about to see everyone else wearing the same suit - that can be tailored to fit you like a glove. If a salesman ever tells you that the suit fits you, straight off the rack, he's lying and just wants your money. Michael is a brilliant man, he will never utter those words to you, and he knows his stuff, like he KNOWS his stuff. The measuring tape and pins are out before you can spin in the mirror. Anything to do with the fabric to the right shoes or ties and pocket squares to match, or if the groom is going for a bespoke custom, he can arrange for a slightly less expensive, complementing option for your groomsman and dad. Michael's a true gentleman, who will pour you a glass of scotch before he takes your money.

Dangerfield has been one of my go-to places for casual fashion since it opened. They have a great…read moreline of stuff for both men and women, and their range varies between cheaper, casual looks and more dressy outfits that come at a higher price. Though it was evidently directed towards alternative fashion when it first opened up shop in Adelaide, it has now adopted a more mainstream approach, and their items will cater to almost anybody. The great thing about Dangerfield is you don't have to worry about shelling out a fortune. I've come in on a whim with nothing more than a twenty dollar note, and left with some pretty cool gear such as T-shirts, belts, jewellery and the like. Aside from their T-shirts being either very quirky or visually appealing, they have a great selection of button-down shirts, vests, ties, and overcoats. I've still got a winter coat I bought from them about five years ago, and it hasn't deteriorated a single bit. They also have a great accessories range, and if you're looking for bags, hats, belts or jewellery with a bit of edge, then you should have no problem finding it here. The staff is also very helpful and pleasant to chat to, and they won't make you feel like you're shopping in the wrong place.

Storing both women and men's fashion and accessories, with some funky bits and pieces here and there, you would probably describe most of the styling of clothes as being old school punk, and maybe a little on the gothic side. On the not overly expensive side, most of the items of clothing are around the $50-$150 mark. But with the unique style that Dangerfield offers, I believe it to be very worth it.

The fact is I know they have updated their stock, so it must just be the buyers thing to get fabulously retro looking shirts with the sort of fabrics you'd see on the disco dance floor - lots of silks and satins; and the detailing is wonderful. Some of the collars are coloured while the rest of the shirt bar the cuff is one block colour, like black shirt with aquamarine blue collar and cuffs for example - very 1970's. I like the store, the guys don't hassle you about making a purchase and the help is helpful when you do request it. It's like a slice of the olden days right in Rundle Mall. Groovy man!

Once I actually went in to look at getting a suit, I was a little disappointed at the small range. However, I found one white suit that I really liked, but It was sadly too expensive. The staff were very helpful, but their taste seemed to be stuck in the past a little. A great place to check out and see if they have the sort of formalwear you'd like.

The North Terrace store has the distinct feel of a clubhouse. The pine timber fixings and layout convey a feeling of luxury, membership and importance when you walk in. I feel like lighting up a fat cigar and discussing my stock portfolio whenever I stumble by. The style is distinctly classy. Clothes you would wear on the yacht, in the boardroom or to an important interview. Henry Bucks has its own brand but sells aside other big names like Gant and Hugo Boss. Other accessories, like watches, leather goods and personal grooming supplies are available too. I recommend Henry Bucks to anyone with some extra cash to splash on themselves or a loved one.

I saw a purchase take place whilst I was in the store. But the purchase was not made by me. Why? I'm more a type for buying gear cheap, shredding it, and buying new, cheap gear. The stuff here looks very nice (but it's nothing I couldn't luck out with at an op-shop), and I'm sure it'll last me a while, but, like I said, I'm not too concerned with that sort of thing. The staff were nice and unobtrusive.

I am on a pilgrimage to visit all Ted's stores across my region ;) which brings me to Adelaide, so…read moreit is a given I am going to like the clothes therefore what I am reviewing is the service and space. The service was great, I was asked if I would like assistance initially and left alone till I had some questions and then offered to set up a room; I was allowed ample time to try stuff on and yet they watched out for me to see if I was okay for sizing. The store was well laid out and they only unusual item was a couple of other rude patrons who would shove everything on the rack down even though I was there first... Though I won't hold that against the store.

07/01/2012 This is a rare moment where I can definitely say,…read more"Every time I walk in, I yelp my pants." I give a loud round of applause to Joseph, because his store deserves every 5 of these stars. I'm very surprised I'm the first to review this one, because Joseph Uzumcu is an absolute memorable standout along Gawler Place, and as he points out, "The European style and atmosphere...will take men of all ages to one of the finest selections of attire and accessories in this country." Sure, there are other men's fashion stores around Rundle Mall to choose from, but Joseph Uzumcu: "...use[s] simply exquisite fabrics, the range and diversity of the clothing, the product knowledge that Joseph and staff have and so freely share with clients is just phenomenal." If there was one thing I always remember about Joseph, is that he's got his own unique one-of-a-kind style, choice of fashion, and how he dresses like nobody else I've seen in Adelaide. Everytime I see him in Rundle Mall, he's so immaculately dressed. In other words, he doesn't wear the typical black suit and black pants. He's got his own awesome colours and I love that about him. And the one-on-one service from his staff members is so good and accurate, that they make sure the sizes are perfect for every single man that steps through and tries on their suits. Check out another quote from their website: "The feeling of putting on beautiful clothing is a wonderful experience for men of all ages." I couldn't agree more when I tried on his suits. I could go on about Joseph Uzumcu, his top fashion, great taste in clothing, the lower than average price points, but the fact that this store offers the finest and expensive suits for hire for a day (for those that can't afford to permanently buy it) is something that I love. Even the Graduating students that need a full outfit for their Year 12 formal or ball can hire one here for only $40!! My older brother needed all his groomsmen to rock up in brand new suits for his wedding day. I was one of the lucky groomsmen, and we all looked like fine gentlemen on his big day! The photos don't lie, even over time. Now does this sound like a store we all can support? If so, I encourage anyone to go in there and take a look! You won't be disappointed.

Joe is a fiery, passionate little unit but a legend nonetheless. Get in to JU if you're after the…read morebest quality suit you'll ever own or hire. The complimentary coffee while you get fitted carries a bit of a wallop if you're not expecting it. The staff are all-round champions; Dealing with Janelle in person and by email while I was organising mine and my groomsmens' suits was a real pleasure - a class act all the way. The email correspondence was always timely and the in-house tailoring service was always quick. One of my groomsmen got fitted 3 or 4 times and it was no problem at all. There is a great range of hire suits for weddings at a reasonable price and they come with all the trimmings (ties, cufflinks) This is not what I would call a place to consider penny-pinching. It is pricy but you get what you pay for absolutely 100%. My suit was 50% off on special as I also hired the groomsmens' suits through JU - not sure as to the permanency of that deal but it was a no-brainer for me at the time. I'm sure you could try and haggle with Joe if you were feeling saucy. That is also the one thing anyone thinking of shopping at JU should know - Joe is a salesman, first and foremost. A stockist of fine tailored wears, sure, but a salesman at heart. He loves to throw around numbers and push push push, but if you're patient and smart, you'll get a good deal. Be ready to negotiate!

23/12/2011 If there's one thing that turns on a…read moresophisticated Aussie gentleman like me is a hot girl, with a hot body, in a sexy hot dress. Miss Gladys Sym Choon provided that for me. A sexy girl in a sexy dress is a certainty to be spotted at least once in a visit to Rundle Mall, Adelaide. Come here on any given weekday and you'll believe me. It's only a matter of time before you suddenly turn your head towards that girl's direction...I remember an American businessman friend of mine that told me, "When I visited Australia for the first time, and I saw how beautiful Aussie women were, I knew it was highly likely that I could get into trouble. And I'm married." This isn't an understatement. I've fallen victim to the lure of Aussie women several times before. I especially loved the music that was playing. It's hard not to like a store when they have a playlist of a Sade song, followed by 'World Tour' by 'A Tribe Called Quest'. Frilly at the top, and skimpy and tight around the waist and legs. The prices are higher than usual, and you can get far classier dresses for a lower price. Miss Gladys Sym Choon still deserves a lot of credit for its designs from the Malaysian designer. Although designs can be simple and of one bright colour (my top two colours from this store are bright red or metallic black), there are other items on offer, and you've gotta appreciate that they've allocated a generous section for menswear too. Though not the best on prices, Miss Gladys Sym Choon do dresses very, very well. It was funny, because once I asked the shop assistant for a sexy dress, he was on fire and picked out five different colours without any hesitation! The other girls downstairs saw what was happening and they laughed when I said, "She's tryin', I'm buyin!'" LOL For those of us blokes who randomly suddenly get a testosterone hit while shopping, Miss Gladys Sym Choon will cause your jaws to drop. Thank you so much. The best way to end my day. I left there thinking, "Damn girl, you looked sexy in those tight dresses. Sexy, sexy, sexy." This store, like the Sade song, "gave me a kiss of life."

I love the slightly old-world ambience, with a modern lightness, the staff are not pushy, and their range of clothes is great. I am of a more industrial strength build than your regular runway model, and I was glad that not all their range is "slim fit" as many other brands seem to be these days. The sales guy explained that as it was a New Zealand and Australian brand, they catered for our body shapes. This is great for me, as their clothes are well made and classically cut ensuring that they will last more than just one season. My shopping experience was made all the better as the staff were cooperative (none of this not helping each other because they are worried about who will get the commission) and they knew the stock in their store well, and also were able to see what other stores had if they didn't have exactly what I wanted. They seem genuinely friendly, and this means that I will now make this store a regular haunt.

This…read moreboutique shop has one of the most comprehensive collections of jeans I've ever seen, and their range includes items from major denim manufacturers and boutique designers from abroad. In addition to the big names in Denim like Levis, Lee and Wrangler, RHD stocks a lot of Japanese denim brands like Edwin. They have a large selection of salvage denim in addition to standard woven jeans, and though pricey, the quality is immediately noticeable. There are a number of affordable tees, shirts and jackets, and all are very stylish and cutting edge. RHD hasn't stopped at distribution. They've also recently started up their own clothing line called CXXVI with basic design tees, and I wish them success on this venture.

After googling the store, I found many, many blog articles raving about it, stating it's "the only place to buy real denim in Aus", which I think is a pretty great review in itself! So if you're someone who likes some really good quality denim, and has the cash to buy it, then I would really recommend having a look through here. The staff are also super nice and keen to help out.

18/12/2011 The way I feel when I try on clothes in Roger…read moreDavid is probably the way Justin Timberlake feels when he gets ready to perform his concert: It is nerve-wracking and exciting, but I have to be ready to put on a big show. Like Justin, but maybe not as much as him, I like to perform. So I make sure to keep up my appearances by watching music videos at every spare moment I have - observing what unnecessary luxurious clothing the rap stars or artists are wearing. The shop attendant approached me within seconds of entering the store and kindly took me upstairs where all the best clothes are. She spent an entire hour with me dressing me from head to toe, and made sure I left the store fully educated about what clothes to wear next time. Not only that, but we talked about how well she's doing in University and that she is only a few months away from finally becoming a Lawyer, and how sad she was going to be when she leaves retail. That emotion in itself deserves five stars. I've never heard anyone feel that way about retail the way she did. She did an amazing job of giving me an extreme makeover, and turned me from casual skater boy to a very stylish Business manager who looks like he has way too much money to spend. I will never forget this store experience. When I put on these clothes I allow myself to dream about becoming Australia's Next Top Male Model on the biggest Sydney fashion catwalk, or getting ready to enter a courtroom as a corporate lawyer, or having a drink at a posh cocktail lounge. There's always the cheaper option. If I need a new shirt or pants, I just need to go downstairs for the casual street wear - this store is full of good selections and you can sense that the upper management who selected these clothes have great taste!! I've never seen a men's store whose clothes all seem to be in sync with one another. So cool. You'll pay a lot of money for an entire outfit, but the quality of your appearance in the mirror is absolutely "sheek, trendy and stylish". Everything you wear will be slim fit and brings out the best features of the male body, including my rear end, but trust me, the ladies will love you for it. You will notice that there are some unique designs on the suit jacket that really goes well with the other parts of the outfit. The colours purple, black and grey seem to be so compatible with each other. I was going to give this store four stars, but I'm sorry but the service I received from the shop assistant was one of the best I've ever experienced in Adelaide. The only downside to this store is that it can get expensive if you buy more than a few items. Due to my lack of funds, I really can't afford that much in here. My dreams of becoming the next Usher are sadly on hold for the moment.... but I love how you're open on Sundays! :) But what a better excuse to go hit the bars next weekend, than all of my new expensive businesswear?!?

Between the two of them, they made me feel like part of the staff during a very relaxed an casual shopping experience. Very trendy gear there too. I'll be back.
