The place was pumping, and quite busy. When I first entered there was a queue at the till, but soon disappeared. Service I got was friendly, helpful and served fast.
Been to Rodd & Gun, Country Road, Barkers, Arthur Barnetts and Mechano before Hallensteins. Some had sales on, but all were $90 - $130 per pair, with Mechano get the 2nd half price, and R&G 30% off.
Settled on 2 pairs from Hallensteins on promo for $60, normally $50 each. Reasonable quality, not quite as dressy as others, but they are shorts after all.
Would definitely go back, but am normally a bit of a brands type of guy - or probably more accurately that perception of quality and not being a cheap ass. They also had fast paced dance type music on. Think would keep the staff going all day!!
