Henry Bucks

Henry Bucks opened on 25 August 1890, when Henry Buck, an English migrant who'd learned the shirting trade in Yorkshire, took over a fabrics shop in Melbourne with his wife Laura as bookkeeper and two machinists. What started as shirt-making grew into a manufacturing and wholesale business, and the shop is now Australia's leading menswear and suiting specialist, with six stores built around premium menswear and bespoke tailoring, including its own made-to-measure service.

The edit sits firmly in luxury and heritage territory, pairing European houses like Stefano Ricci and Meyer-Hosen with tailoring names such as Cordone, Cantini and Artigiano Roma, plus its in-house Henry Sartorial and HS Heritage Collection lines. Accessories run to Tateossian jewellery and Pasotti umbrellas, with hats from Failsworth and City Hatters rounding things out. It's the sort of shop you go to for a proper suit fitting rather than picking basics off a rail.
