[acidboy]

^high of 35 deg.C/95 deg.F with humidity at 52%... better dress light!

 

[binge]

Fowkers!

I was up this morning at 6am San Fran time to do a conf. call with Singapore...as well as folks in Washington DC and Paris. Poor guy in Singapore was up until past 11pm for the work call. Damn this global economy!

Please subscribe to this thread for updates! Time and date is now confirmed at 1930hrs on 4 Mar (Thurs), Artery Bar in the Red Dot museum. I am going to suggest that we arrange for a variety of finger food.. just in case you fwockers get all weird and gh3y on me over dinner and ruin my chances of a ninja escape.
Fellow Satorialist. I am travelling at the moment and regretfully cannot attend this evening. Have a good one and may the conversations contribute to improving the wardrobe challenged island we reside in.

^ pretty normal for most bankers/finance guys in asia, binge. several times I met up with friends who have to excuse themselves in the middle of the revelry to do a conference with someone in london or new york.

And I know all about the tissue paper reservation system along with the "stand over" method of pressuring the patrons of a vacating table to leave quicker. I am well versed in the various forms of kiasu tactics, although I am sure they are constantly evolving.

 

[vanco]

PG can't stay up past 10PM. He has Cinderella syndrome.

I have conference calls with the guys in HK once a month ... it either sucks for them or sucks for us here in Atlanta ...

We rotate the "tough times"

Looking forward to some pics of the meet up gents.

I'm moving to Perth soon so will be making more regular trips to Singapore (my wife is Singaporean), so hopefully make the next meet up. I'll turn up in flip-flops and a singlet

6 iBengs and a Guido met at a bar, and ended up perusing books of cloth in a private boutique someplace in Singapore..

Pictorial evidence as promised:

Conclusion? There is hope for SIN.. I think​

 

[acidboy]

looks like the macallan was lapped up to the last drop. good work, gentlemen.

 

[dappledown]

Yup. That's when i broke out the Balvenie! It's thirsty work talking about the SG Sartorialist wasteland

 

[calvinloke]

May I suggest moving to the Highlands for the next Malaysian iGent maiden meeting....It's time to show those fockers we have a sartorial heaven over here.

 

[flanker2000fr]

Darn,

Just registered on the forum last week-end, and I just found out about this get together.

I'm based in Singapore too.

Maybe next time...
