What Calibre is known for

Melbourne menswear label founded in 1989 by Gary Zecevic, opening its first store in South Yarra; remains family-owned, focused on tailored-casual pieces in Italian wools and cotton jersey.

Calibre is a Melbourne-founded menswear label started in 1989 by Gary Zecevic, who opened the brand's first store in South Yarra. The label's focus from the outset was tailored-casual menswear - blending classic tailoring construction with a slimmer, more casual silhouette, using materials such as Italian wool and cotton jersey. Zecevic has described the Calibre name as a nod to his standard for quality and fit. The company remains family-owned and Melbourne-based, with in-house design. Calibre now sells through its own stores as well as multi-brand retailers such as David Jones, and operates shop locations in centres including Burnside Village (Adelaide) and Emporium Melbourne.
