Australian Members - Part II - if you read the first post, you'll get what this is all about.
I'm with you on this. The wool pullovers and cardigan I bought got about half a season's wear before pilling so badly that they have been thrown away. Uniqlo t-shirts, undies and socks are fine and their linen shirts are good value. The cashmere pullovers whilst not pilling, have fallen apart at...- ApplesHK

At last, a great, cheap suit. Just $160 - as good as a Hugo Boss suit costing $800. This free ad....I mean this is an app review from MacWorld. This guy even owns his own sheep so cuts out the middle man. Wonder how many thousands of sheep he has purchased? Suspect many about to be fleeced; suit...- ApplesHK

Shoes: Narrow fittings
After leaving HK and not having the luxury of wearing made to measure shoes anymore, I've been searching for a decent fit in English shoes. The Herring 11028 is a last that fits me pretty well. In Church's shoes the Burwood is a good fit. Can anybody give me some other brands and lasts that may...- ApplesHK

Some very nice looking combinations there but the white jeans make you look a male prostitute; you need to size up a size or two.:happy::happy:- ApplesHK

Bangkok tailors
It's nice to hear from some satisfied customers re Milan Suit shirts. I picked up my brother last night at the airport after his 9 hour flight and commented on his crisp pink oxford. It's a Milan Suit shirt he said. It's had three years wear and it's as good as the day I bought it. This was...- ApplesHK

Tailoring and M2M in Bangkok for wedding

Ascott Silom Serviced Apartments Dusit Thani Hotel (look for a special price) Centrepoint Grande Ratchadamri (serviced apartment and it's pretty gorgeous and 6 mins...- ApplesHK

Tell me about this mohair-wool blend
Here's something from A Suitable Wardrobe last year that will answer your questions. Mohair has been used in the West since the 16th century, when Charles V first brought angora goats to Europe. The delicacy of the species made mohair relatively rare as well as expensive and five hundred years...- ApplesHK

Zee's Leatherware & Shoe Co.
Thanks dbc. Shoes at $6000, $7000 or $8000 are no doubt beautiful things but I can't justify that expense. Prices at the Armoury and Tassels are out of my league. I didn't think it would be so hard to find a good looking, well made and correct fitting shoe at $3000 HK. That's a fair whack in my...- ApplesHK

Minnis fresco or mohair for unlined suit?
The frescos are no doubt cheaper but I did have a look at some Cape Kid at The Armoury a while back. Gorgeous stuff. (Harrison's Cape Kid, from memory it was 60% Mohair and 40% Wool) and had only a slight sheen. The chap in the shop told me that the mohair worked like linen and that is, it...- ApplesHK

Zee's Leatherware & Shoe Co.
No suggestions regarding narrow fittings forthcoming, so I did some exploring and found a site called sizeadvisors.com. Here I did the measurements asked for and up came recommendations of shoes and lasts. Whereas Zee said I was a very narrow 9C the measurements punched into sizeadvisors.com...- ApplesHK

Narin Couture tailor in Bangkok- only full-canvas suits outside HK?
I was happy with Narin and recommended him to a very difficult to fit and particular friend. He was very pleased with his suit in VBC 120s. Narin, unlike most in Bangkok has his tailor shop out the back. His old tailor works in-store. Would I choose Narin over Chan or Peter Lee in HK? No...- ApplesHK

Bangkok tailors
For shirts go to Milan Suit in Sukhumvit Rd under ASOK station. Not a great range of shirting but good quality maker and will do as you ask. For suits go to Narin Couture also in Sukhumvit Rd on the same side as Milan Suit but further up the road between Asok and Nana stations. Narin is Thai as...- ApplesHK

Zee's Leatherware & Shoe Co.
Thanks, I'll try this. I have to say, my Zees are turning out to be pretty uncomfortable/painful to wear, even more uncomfortable than some of my RTW shoes, which is a real shame. Not only do they cut into the side of my foot, the leather digs into the top of my big toe when I walk (i.e. where...- ApplesHK

Fresh from the Tailor
Looking good. Trousers could be a longer I agree. Lovely shirt collar too, but my eyes go straight to that Windsor knot. It just makes the whole outfit look a tad stiff & contrived to my mind. With a four in hand or half Widsor with dimple and slightly off centre, it would give the outfit...- ApplesHK

Zee's Leatherware & Shoe Co.
I've been meaning to update my opinions for a few weeks now. I've had two pairs made by Zees. Both look great but are abominable to wear. The first pair had to be taken back and stretched (too small in toe box area and uneven feel to the inside.) Zees were happy to help. These shoes are fine...- ApplesHK
