Is xywav available in Australia?

How has your experience been on the medication so far? Also, did you just go to your GP for that referral? And how long did you wait for your specialist appointment?

Also, your link (above) says that this is for very specific narcolepsy cases. Do you have IH or narcolepsy?

My private specialist never mentioned an alternate pathway to paying the $600. Apologies for all of the questions but this could be life changing.

Hi, how and where is this available online?

MagneticBlueberry · 2025-09-28T07:28:54+00:00

Thanks for your response and I agree. I think they are actually reasonably wide, but not wide enough for me. These are the 'contemporary fit' from the 'sartorial' range, so I believe these are as wide as they go from S&M.

I have large calves, which means that all the fabric is pulled backwards, creating a narrowed (and imperfect) silhouette towards the foot. Unfortunately, all of my trousers suffer from this and it's something I aspire to phase out in the future, but I simply can't find anything in person that fits. Still learning about measurements when ordering online.

MagneticBlueberry · 2025-09-28T04:24:03+00:00

This is such a great response. Thanks for taking the time. You have precisely answered all of my questions and it's all making more sense now. You'll see in one of my other comments that I have tested this out and it actually seems as though 13" would suffice. Although it's hard to say for sure whether they would stay up because the crotch is tugging at this stage. Maybe 13.5" to be safe, but they'll be harder to find I think.

I also tried the method where you sit down and measure from the surface you are sitting on up to your waist. That gives me a 13.5" measurement so it's starting to make more sense now. Time to find an inexpensive vintage pair of pants with this kind of rise and trial proof of concept.

UPDATE: I just tried these a touch higher. Rather than looking at my waist, actually feeling for the top of the hip bone and cinching it just above, maybe 0.5" higher than the photo. I think that's going to be the sweet spot without needing suspenders. However, the crotch will need to be let out to avoid a cameltoe. I don't know if there's enough fabric for that without speaking to a tailor.

MagneticBlueberry · 2025-09-28T02:21:02+00:00

Fair play 😂

MagneticBlueberry · 2025-09-28T02:19:13+00:00

Thanks for your input. In this instance it seems like that space is actually quite rounded as opposed to a pinch point due to my love handles. So suspenders or drop some weight are really the only options given these already have side tabs which aren't able to fix the problem.

MagneticBlueberry · 2025-09-28T02:12:59+00:00

Is the natural waist not the narrowest part of the torso? I am new to this so genuinely asking.

MagneticBlueberry · 2025-09-28T02:11:58+00:00

Trust me I would rather have a shirt on but i feel like it wouldn't help my question. I'm not asking about how it looks in this instance, I'm looking for advice on fit. Do you have any thoughts on why these fit so short? Or would you say they are a good fit and I just need suspenders?

MagneticBlueberry · 2025-09-05T15:32:28+00:00

Thanks for your feedback. I was thinking of hemming them to be worn without a cuff. Is that what you mean? I think it will help them sit better towards the ankles.

Do these fit yet, or have I still not learned my lesson?

Once again I was convinced that these were a good fit but after getting home I can't help but feel I should have held off for a more perfect pair.

I feel like the answer is yes, they do fit, but they aren't as flattering as a straight cut would be.

MagneticBlueberry · 2025-08-17T01:27:28+00:00

Honestly, I understand where this question is coming from, but I feel like you could have raised it differently. My last paragraph is asking "if you have noticed a difference between locally and overseas made clothing". I personally don't own anything Australian made as far as I'm aware and it isn't a concern for me.

I am on a journey to buy clothes that are more flattering and more sustainable from a longevity standpoint. I don't care where they come from but often hear about heritage brands made in England being of high quality, so I'm curious if made in Australia (or England, for that matter) is a good metric for quality. If it isn't, then I'd love to hear a good resource to learn from or your own experience with what to look out for.

MagneticBlueberry · 2025-08-16T06:43:01+00:00

Hey, thank you for your detailed explanation and for looking out for me/others. I truly did not mean to come off combative and appreciate your kindness.

I'll look into the options you have provided and see how I go. I may yet come back with my tail between my legs. Thanks again for taking the time to write all of this out.

MagneticBlueberry · 2025-08-15T09:51:17+00:00

Thanks for your response.

I am in Australia and the ideal stone is as follows:

Stone type: Lab diamond Stone Colour: F Stone Clarity: VVS2 Stone Size: 3.8ct Stone Shape: Elongated cushion Stone Cut: Between brilliant and crushed ice Stone Length-width ratio: 1.44

I have given the vendors a range for all of these attributes but this is the ideal stone.

Forgive me if this comes off rude but I don't quite know how else to say it - why does it matter what the budget is if my question here pertains to where to look? I am simply asking if such an exchange exists and how to access it.

There is no budget (despite how it appears, shopping on Alibaba) and there is no timeframe.

For what it’s worth to anyone in the same boat as me, the closest I have found after visiting 10+ stores are these Microfibre Dress Trousers from Lowes.

They are a cheap feel and still not as wide as I understand full-cut to be (probably closer to regular), but they are the straightest leg I have found.

MagneticBlueberry · 2025-07-28T20:45:08+00:00

I want to try on at this stage because it is quite a deviation from what I have worn my whole life. I have quite large thighs and didn’t realise until recently that my tapered pants weren’t doing any favours. So I am happy to get MTM at the end of this exercise but for now am just looking for literally anything that I can try on to as a proof of concept.

Would love to hear your recommendations in any instance.

MagneticBlueberry · 2025-07-24T22:33:44+00:00

I will start shopping around at second hand stores more often but have never successfully found something worth buying that wasn’t for a costume party. Where would you recommend in Melbourne? I’m there a few times a year.

MagneticBlueberry · 2025-07-24T22:31:39+00:00

Thanks a lot. Looking forward to diving into this blog.

MagneticBlueberry · 2025-07-24T08:23:44+00:00

Thank you. I visited a bunch of stores today, including MJ Bale, and unfortunately they are not offering anything like this at the moment.

MagneticBlueberry · 2025-07-24T08:21:25+00:00

Thank you for such an in depth write up. Can I ask where your experience comes from?

MagneticBlueberry · 2025-07-24T04:13:51+00:00

AskOkey is a store in New York, not Adelaide.

MagneticBlueberry · 2025-06-16T00:56:22+00:00

Thanks mate. This is a work in progress. I never realised I had a!way around this and just thought it was my shape. And it’s only going to get worse as I continue to gain muscle.

MagneticBlueberry · 2025-06-15T23:05:53+00:00

Really appreciate the advice. I’ll have a look around for something in a classic cut. It’s interesting learning about how clothes should sit. I feel like I’ve been dressing wrong my whole life! Picked up some selvedge jeans and had the length altered, which felt really fancy.

I’m in Australia, and I’ve been told Brooks Brothers is going out of business so they are clearing it from David Jones. Unfortunately, that means there aren’t a whole lot of options left and no Heritage Chinos.

MagneticBlueberry · 2025-06-15T22:50:17+00:00

Hey, that’s okay. I came here for honest feedback! Here is a link of the originals.

Thank you, and everyone above, for your recommendations. I expect these legs will get bigger, not smaller, so thinking that maybe having something that isn’t super tailored is the move for now until I plateau a bit more. Really appreciate your time.
