Every week, Boss Huntingโs editors spend far too much time scouring the web: in search of the coolest gear, food & drink, and destinations worth trekking to across the globe.
In our latest edition of โGood Findsโ, weโve got designer sweatpants, a new Sydney restaurant specialising in chic Australiana, the very first ever chypre scent from Hermรจs and plenty more.

Five Guysโ Second Melbourne Outpost (Opening October 14th)
In a bit of good news for Melburnians, Five Guysโ second outpost in the Garden City is set to open on Monday, October 14th โ within the conveniently located confines of the QV retail precinct.
For those playing from home, the arrival of a follow-up Five Guys location is bound to delight fast food fiends. The acclaimed American chain offers a (relatively) small edit of burgers, hot dogs, and shakes.
Its killer edge? For a fixed fee, you can pile on as many toppings as you like: ranging from additional sauces to grilled mushrooms, jalapenos, raw onion and a range of other veggies. โChoose your own adventureโ eating of the most fun variety.
If youโd like some added โDay 1โ incentive, the first 100 diners into the store a fortnight from now will be gifted a stack of โlimited-edition merchandiseโ to take home. Tasty.
Adidas x SFTM Trackpants
Our Account Manager Andrew can always be relied upon to attend the office in the biggest of fits; and, as โGood Findsโ like this pair of Adidas trackpants demonstrate, we mean that quite literally.
Made in collaboration with Sydney-based fashion house Song For The Mute (โSFTMโ), these sweats are an order of magnitude better made than many of the โdress pantsโ weโve seen in the wild. That, in spite of the recycled poly shell.
Channeling SFTMโs flair for avant-garde aesthetics, one of our favourite details is the V-cut hem โ making these sweats an excellent match for your choice of chunky technical sneaker.
Tilda Sydney
Nick, our Accounts Director and resident hospo veteran, ducked his head into Tilda earlier this week โ tucked away inside the newly refurbished Sofitel Sydney Wentworth.
Part of a salvo of new dining concepts the property is rolling out in partnership with House Made Hospitality, itโs headed in the kitchen by Nathanael Merchant (formerly of Bentley Restaurant & Bar).
Though very much still in soft open mode, what Nick tells us about the joint thus far seems encouraging. Quiet interiors and a soothing colour palette are bound to give Tilda lots of cachet with the date night set; and the menu, laden with items like the centrepiece bread and butter service ($39), blends comfort food with a contemporary sensibility.
Hermรจs Barรฉnia Eau De Parfum
A completely new perfume in the Hermรจs universe reportedly a decade in the making, Barรฉnia is named for (and pays homage to) the soft calfskin leather of the same name: utilised in everything from small goods and accessories to the brandโs legendary Birkin handbag. So, no pressure then.
Fortunately, by almost all accounts, Barรฉnia is a triumph: finally adding an enigmatic, chypre-based fragrance to the brandโs womenโs universe that is the equal of Terre dโHermes.
Currently available in 60ml and 100ml formats.
Bravomonster Speedster
One can always count on Garry, our News Editor and resident gadget obsessive, to come through with a โ shall we say โ unexpected โGood Findsโ recommendation (the man is eight years old at heart).
Iโll be the first to admit that I know next to nothing about the world of premium RC toy cars. Even so, Bravomonsterโs Speedster stands out: for its vaguely Zagato-esque silhouette and โintelligent Digital Servoโ motor.
There are certainly worse ways to embrace your inner child.
