I wonder what kind of clothes doesn’t easily let the sweat to show through. Regardless, the smell is a problem anyway. As for me I don’t sweat much if I wear some casual shirt untucked. If I wear a strict shirt tucked in or even a suit in summers I do start to sweat a lot.

I do, sweating directly into a good dress shirt doesn't make much sense to me.

The fact of the matter is even if I was buck naked in a New York City summer, with the humidity and the oven-like qualities of the hot buildings and black top I would still be sweating. Might as well, just put something on to soak it all up.

Hot weather: coats in hopsack wool, plain weave wool, high twist wool, mohair blends, linen, cotton. Unlined.

Weather too hot for any coat: Long sleeve guayabera that covers most of the seat:

If you didn't already know, wearing your shirt like it's a bikini top is all the rage in China.

Linen, Fresco, doesn't matter here in Hong Kong. One thing that helps a lot is not carrying a bag or anything in your hands if you can swing it.

Best combination of being a good location for my career, being convenient geographically, and being quite fun and safe. If I need to leave HK in the future I don't know where else I'd like to go other than Australia.

Isn't that like HK though? Just colder and less Chinese. Probably no shirt rolling in NYC either.
