Excellent suggestion, Kyle. I remember friends who’ve visited Hong Kong telling me that high-quality suits, leather jackets, and dressier clothing can be found there at a great price (when compared to what you’d have to spend in the States). Thanks for the tip.

I enjoyed the show a lot. As I was listening, some fashion advice I once received that has served me well came to mind.

I’m 6’0″ and 200 pounds, but have a 17 3/4″ neck. As a result, I’m rarely ever able to buy dress shirts off the rack that fit (if the neck on the shirt is large enough, it’s almost always too wide on me).

Getting a quality custom dress shirt made in America costs anywhere from $100-160. I currently can’t afford many shirts at that rate. A good way around this is to have one shirt made by a good American tailor and getting a copy of your measurements at that time. Then, you can go online and find a number of tailors in Hong Kong that will make custom dress shirts from your measurements. These shirts usually cost around $60 for one-offs and can be as cheap as $45 if you buy a few at a time. Here is one site that offers 6 custom shirts for $269 (that’s $44.83 per shirt).

Brilliant kid,

I’ve always liked Very Sexy as a cologne. Don’t look at me.

Interested to see the angle your going to take on the gender equality topic for next show.
