    Starting my finance career - Hong Kong

    Ring Jackets, Carmina and Drakes are all reasonably priced IMO. You don't need CEO salary to shop at The Armoury... unless of course you want Liverano, St. Crispin and Tie Your Tie.

    Where to shop in GTA or where to buy online?

    Try IM-Label (http://im-label.com/). I had shirts made there and were very happy with them. Friend of mine has suits made with them and was equally thrilled.

    Dress Watch - IWC Portuguese Chrono-Automatic

    The IWC Portuguese Chronograph is a great watch. I found it to be a bit too tall. Have you considered the JLC Master line? Hodinkee just did a nice write up on the JLC Master Control (plain dial). http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/hands-on-with-the-jaeger-lecoultre-master-control-date-live-pics...

    Hong Kong shopping: does anybody know where to buy Crocket & Joness and Barbour?

    I was at Tassels just before Christmas. Ask for Wallace and he will take good care of you. I remember a pair of C&J plain black captoe was about $5k HKD. I ended up getting a pair of Carmina from the Armoury. (which is besides Landmark).

    The Hong Kong Tailors Thread

    Just went to TCNY today. Their suit starts at 5,000 to 10,000 HKD. $5000 suits are with fabrics that are made in Asia. $7800 with Italian fabrics (forgot the name of the mill).$10,000 for frabics from Loro Piana. At this time it takes at least 3 weeks to make a suit.
