Premium quality mens' suits…read more I went in in early January to take advantage of some big sales they had on, effectively buy one suit get another free. Big range, the quality was good. Every suit comes with two pairs of trousers. George, who served me, was a smooth, fast talker, and a consummate salesman, but not overbearing. Go in knowing what you want, don't be afraid to strike a deal, and you'll get quality. They told me outright: it's repeat business they want.

What a great shopping spot for guys…read more They have a great selection of clothing with a modern, yet classic look. I purchased a suit that fit extremely well and it was purchased at a very reasonable price. The store is organized very well and they have very good choices for the well-dressed guy. One thing that really impressed me was the customer service - it was fantastic! A very nice woman helped with getting the correct sizes and she was extremely knowledgeable, patient and seemed to really care. She even offered the arrangement of the alteration so I could have everything ready the following day - that was great! This was a bit more of an upscale store (from an American perspective in pricing), but it was well worth it since I left I very satisfied customer.

The formal fabrics can cost over $100/m but for the everyday sewer, My Hung has a good range and all in one large store. There is parking behind the store. They're open on weekends and they know fabric, more importantly.

It's quite small so once you're done browsing there plenty of places near by to grab a drink and celebrate your purchase!

Sure the prices are high but these are designer brands after all and to be expected. Although I have to admit Incu marks it up quite high. This place fits right into my approach to shopping. I don't shop often at all so I have a small wardrobe, but when I do I tend to buy investment pieces that would last me years. I have bought a few items here (mostly when its on sale) and even the most simple items look different when worn. My favourite designer is Alexander Wang and his casual wear line is amazing. He puts a bit of cool to my usual uniform of jeans and t-shirt! The assistants there are usually design students and are nice enough when approached. I guess the clothes speak for themselves and their demeanor reflective of most designer stores. Truth is, at current market conditions, I would rather shop online because you can get all of these designers on websites such as net-a-porter at much lower prices. But if I can't wait or if its sold out overseas, this is when I head to Incu. Lovely store with beautiful clothing.

Incu is great, expensive but great, I don't often buy anything as I don't want to spend $45 for a singlet or $120 on shorts, but if I had an unlimited budget and less clothes I would shop there. They sell casual designer clothes from leading design houses and their clothes cover a range of styles, but are all excellent quality and extremely stylish. Although I try to keep my credit card in my pocket, I still like to have a browse.

They have ordered the clothes according to colour so you can be pretty direct if you want to find something in particular. I found most of the clothes quite mumsyish, but I didn't let that dissuade me. After a bit more of a thorough browse I came away with a gorgeous Country Road top and sensible work skirt, all for under $30! Very pleasing...and charitable. What more could you ask for?

The suit I bought needed alterations to the pants and the jacket. That was seamless as the person was a tailor and gave excellent advice. Would definitely shop there again.
