Wow - two varieties of nerddom that I hate colliding in one sentence. Well played.

I also would like a pair of more casual shoes which are (Victoria or Australia) winter appropriate.
I do not know how much I am willing to pay. I can afford to pay for quality.

Context? Black cap-toes I'd generally reserve for more formal occasions - suit at a minimum.I also would like a pair of more casual shoes which are (Victoria or Australia) winter appropriate.

A good pair of boots, Red Wing or other, would serve you well. It depends on your exact wants in terms of weatherproofness, durability, formality, etc. A pair of Red Wings or similarly styled boots could do, and I'm currently pondering some Bean Boots myself. There's also something like a country brogue, wingtip or otherwise brogued shoes that also have lugged soles.
My ideal pair of boots, of course, is a pair of Alden or Carmina cordovan cap-toe, commando-soled boots. Of course, they cost in the $700-$800 range.Lord Chrusher wrote:Also where is a good place for men's wear in general in Victoria?

Oracle named some good spots, note that unless you are on a strict time crunch there's no reason to buy at BR or Gap and similar stores without a general 30-40% off sale, which are practically weekly.
Also, don't forget your old-school department stores such as the Bay or Sears will occasionally have gems.
If you are looking for a general pair of dress trousers, it's hard to go wrong with a mid-gray wool, indeed.
As for thrifting, Patch has some decent stuff, but I've always seen to do better at the smaller spots. I can't remember any names, unfortunately. Oh, and it's always been bollocks to find any pants that fit.
On the subject of hoodies, here, made in Vancouver.

Normally I would be looking for places in Melbourne but currently I am looking places in the Victoria in British Columbia
Thanks

A little more reading of Put This On suggests a brown Derby might be a lot more versatile than a black Oxford. Do you agree? A pair of chukka boots should also be on my mind. I do not own a good pair of dress shoes so a pair of of black oxfords would be a good addition. On the flip side I rarely wear suits so a more causal shoe might be a better idea.
I have to admit that the only shoes I brought with me are a pair of black high top Chuck Ts. I have to say I am some what under whelmed by the quality of Chuck Ts.
My previous hoodie was from American Apparel and I was quite happy with it. A hoodie is also something I am in the market for while I am in Victoria.
I'm involved with Target's Canadian expansion. They have purchased basically all the Zeller's stores to remodel, but are not just putting up a new sign. The Target brass consider the Zellers stores dirty badly-lit shitholes, and are spending millions to tear down each store to the bare bones and redo everything.
I guarantee the Canadian Targets will be 1000X better than the Zellers were.

If you're actually interested in this style you might want to check out the Goth Ninja guide at MFA, which is actually really good (even if I have little interest in it).

Yo Canuck peeps wondering about the Target takeover of Zellers and whether that translates to any of their sweet stuff making it north of the border, I got this message on reddit;I'm involved with Target's Canadian expansion.

Heavy armor is associated with a higher encumbrance, which in Goth Ninja is defined by how often strangers make comments about your clothing.

Warlock class is unique because it is unlocked only once you have maxed out your level in another class. Only then can you have your character transition into a Warlock.
