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.

At that stage they were months away from opening their new store "Double Monk" and were excited to speak at length about tailoring, shoes and all things sartorial.
