Men Office Wear Thread (2nd Thread)

Problem with wool is that you can't machine wash. Have to hand wash.

Dry cleaning recommended say after a few wears. You can hang and air them in between.

Wool blend u can machine wash using wool/delicate cycle. Pure wool u cannot even handwash.

But I couldn't find them in HK as well. Maybe I didn't search hard enough.

I still love the 1 piece I bought from them over my Raoul or TM Lewin and it's the cheapest!

Do you know which black label branch has the widest selection in Hong Kong?

Are they selling the same designs and cutting as what Sg black label used to sell?

And, may i know roughly the price of the shirts there? Thanks!

All my wool-blend pants by G2K are machine washed. Turn out fine. No worries.

As for shoes, I have a pair of Hudson, Rowland Brothers, Doucals, etc....think 5-6 pairs from Tangs. The original prices of them range from $200-$500, but after discount, the prices were $100-$200. If there is Tangs sale, suggest you grab 2 pairs if you do not have dress shoes. Dress shoes should wear them on alternate days, to allow airing. If you have money, buy 3, reserve one pair for formal events like weddings, etc.

Shirts at Black Label are about 300-400HKD. You can get them sometimes at 20% off when there is a sale.

I'm not sure which branch has widest selection; you can drop them an email on this.

Their designs and price are quite standard throughout HK and SG (previously).

Hi, anyone knows where to get reasonably priced black formal wear?

 

[paladin]

which level of ck tang?

i go see see when i got time

Pls dun be lazy. You take a look inside CK Tang and you know whether you are at the ladies section, men's section, houseware, cosmetics. You can post here, cannot take escalator go up another floor?

btw, u never been to CK Tang?

 

[evets]

of course got go before lah

there is a shoes section in men level there. if that is what u refer to , then i think the shoes over there sucks...

then u can stick to ur usual brands which i reckon its the like of pedro / aldo.. lol....

IMO i think Tangs have increase their variety over time...and during sale, one can get pretty decent discount 30 - 70% for their made in italy but seldom heard of brands...

rowland brothers, tangs in house brand library are some of the shoe brands i will keep a look out during sale..

i am all for it...but perhaps can try to keep the design / colour simple...

I agree!!!
But the shoes are kinda pricey to me.
I have yet to pay more than $100 for my working shoes and the prices at CK Tangs rarely go below $300.

I've noticed only the younger generation is concerned about this crumpler carrying habit.
I've noticed those older than me, be it expats or locals carrying harversacks (e.g. deuter), messengers (e.g. crumpler, timbuk2) on the mrt.
Makes me wonder what is it about this kind of bags that the young crowd is so self conscious about?

Fyi, messengers are pretty common on the streets at Raffles Place.

can i be considered as the younger generation?

anyway, i dun like the idea of carrying crumpler bag/haversack when i'm in office wear because i dun think they match office wear at all.

having a haversack on my back makes me look like ninja turtles!
while carrying crumpler bag suggests that i'm still schooling.

we do not have to follow the crowd. i.e. there are so many iPhone users ard but i go for android phone.

well, that's merely my opinion.
