About The Dapper Gent

Since opening our doors in 1998, we’ve helped more than 40,000 Melbourne gentlemen step out with confidence. From boardroom-ready suits to relaxed week-end linen, every piece on our racks is hand-selected for superior construction, ethical sourcing, and timeless design.

Our Collins-trained stylists listen first, advise second. Whether you need a wedding tux that glides down the aisle or denim that feels like it was made for Sunday brunch on Brunswick Street, we tailor the experience—literally.

Come in for a complimentary espresso, chat to our master tailor, and leave knowing your wardrobe works as hard as you do.
