Steampunk Fashion Australia collection

[tbes50203]

Hi guys. I've been thinking about ordering something from the Steampunk Fashion Australia collection for a couple of weeks now - I saw a vest with copper rivets and a watch on a chain on a TikToker, and since then, honestly, I've been sitting and thinking. I can't say that I'm an active representative of steampunk culture, but I've always liked the idea of an "alternate reality" with mechanisms, as if from old books. It feels like this brand is not just about clothes, but about a lifestyle. Has anyone bought anything from them? Share, is it worth it? I'm especially interested in how long all this lasts in real wear, or is it just for photos and festivals?

I also saw one image at the Retro Futures exhibition in Brisbane about five years ago - there was a guy standing there in a thick wool coat, with a bronze monocle and gloves, as if he came out of some Victorian workshop of the time. Then I spent a long time looking for where he got the suit from - it turned out to be https://steampunkfashion.com.au/. In the end, I ordered a jacket, a vest and even boots from them - and I can tell you, I have not regretted it at all. As for the quality: this is not a mass market, where everything is glued and threaded, but really good quality things. I have had the jacket for the fourth year now - and I wore it to a photo shoot, and to a street festival, and even on cold evenings in the city. Lots of small details - brass buttons, decorative belts, and not a single thing fell off. They have materials like genuine leather and thick cotton, so in terms of "will it last" - it lives, and how. But! You have to understand that this is not an “everyday” thing, although sometimes I mix it with regular jeans and a black shirt — and it looks very appropriate. In terms of sensations — yes, you start to look at yourself differently. I don’t know how to explain it, but when you’re wearing a waistcoat with a chain and a top hat, even the way you walk changes It’s about the inner feeling of an inventor, a traveler, or even a bit of a mad genius. You’re not just wearing a suit, you’re trying on an alternative version of yourself. It really works. By the way, after my first purchase, my wife became interested, and now we have a whole mini-wardrobe for events. True, now we suffer when it hangs at customs if we order from Australia.
