Double Monk Melbourne

I met Nick and Chris Schaerf in Melbourne at the Paul Smith store opening earlier this year.

They spotted my shoes first ( John Lobb ) then my suit; Crane Brothers Escorial Windowpane check.

This month they opened and although I havent seen it in the flesh the pictures look superb.
