Formal wear in Sydney,
as it should be.
Man About Town has been dressing Sydney gentlemen for the occasions that matter since 1987. The collection is available to hire or purchase — and for those after something more considered, made-to-measure and full tailoring options are available. Every outfit is fitted on the floor and all alterations are carried out on the premises; nothing is sent away.
Every outfit — hired or owned — is fitted on the floor and pressed for the occasion. Shirt, neckwear, shoes and accessories are included. Same-day hire is generally possible with a short visit to the showroom; made-to-measure appointments are recommended three to four weeks in advance.
