2/14 Martin Place, Sydney, 2000

M.J. Bale suits are specifically designed for the Australian climate. Born from the mind of Matt Jensen, M.J. Bale’s name is synonymous with exquisite and quality suiting. And, with Spring now on our doorstep and racing season galloping towards us, M.J. Bale has released its ‘Spring Ready’ collections just in time for you to make an update to your wardrobe. 

Summer essential colours including white, pebble, sand, seafoam, salty blues and dusty reds make plenty of appearances throughout the new collections, which range from smart casual cool through to more formal pieces. So now Australian men have plenty of opportunity to step away from the classic grey and navy looks and inject some serious colour into their collections. 

And with an M.J. Bale suit, you can be guaranteed of quality. Not only is the outfitter Australia’s first carbon neutral fashion brand, but the wool used for their suits is sourced from Tasmania, with pieces being crafted by experts locally and in Italy and Japan. If it’s Spring Carnival suiting you’re looking for, look no further than M.J. Bale.
