The modern man’s accessory and grooming arsenal can take many forms. Some keep it simple with a bit of pomade and a decent pair of sneakers, while others may have a whole cupboard full of lotions and tonics as well as belts, shoes and bags in matching leathers at the ready. The quantity and combination of grooming and sartorial accessories is up to you; here are some of the best places to buy them.

1. Strand Hatters

The Strand Hatters is something of a Sydney institution, having opened in The Strand Arcade over 50 years ago. Head Milliner Robert J Carroll has been there for 30 of those years. The store stocks the finest in hand-crafted headwear in a range of classic styles: pith helmet, fez, boater, sombrero, French beret, Greek fisherman’s cap... the list goes on. In addition to hats, they stock bowties, braces, ties, cravats, colognes, wallets and scarves, as well as gorgeously crafted canes and umbrellas for the truly distinguished gentleman. Sydney.

A chicly cluttered store on Crown Street, The Collector Store is a fashion and home wears store stocking an eclectic array of items from around the world — fair trade wooden bowls, rubix cube ottomons, original artworks, and other curiosities fill the space and line the walls. Lesser known is their range of men’s accessories, which includes Herschel backpacks and rollbags, Vanishing Elephant and Superga shoes, Mr Simple belts, and various socks. Plus, they have an excellent range of men’s grooming products, including Prospector Co. aftershaves and old-fashioned wet shave cream, Herbivore Botanicals beard tonic and shave oil, Botot toothpastes and mouthwashes, and Binchotan charcoal shaving gels and facial masks and scrub towels. Surry Hills.

4. Footage

  • Shopping
  • Darlinghurst
The buyers at Footage have impeccable taste. Their Darlinghurst boutique showcases a very chic range of men’s (and women’s) accessories, footwear and garments, with an emphasis on classic, wearable designs of superior quality.  Think Simon and Mary hats in earthy tones, Tanner leather belts and scented soaps, Grenson Archie Vs leather brogues, Dita eyewear, and even DS & Durga scents, perhaps the most notable of which is ‘Sir’, an old-fashioned homage to the perfumer’s own grandfather, smelling of patchouli, cognac, amber, and cigars. Darlinghurst.
