Thanks MftM! I'm going to pickup a dvd at the CWB HMV tonight so wil stop there for a look.

Maurice (and any other HK'ers here): Where can I find Levis 501xx in HK?

I live here but I don't really shop anywhere outside of the big malls and the bigger standalone shops like the Kingston I.T. and D-Mop, SinoPlaza I.T., etc. My friend, stil back in the USA, has asked me to look for Levi 501xx for him in HK and I have no clue where to look.

Also, will I be paying eBay prices (evidently like $usd 400 / $hkd 3k) a pair?

I'm a 29 y.o. software developer and may be going around for some interviews in the near future.

I live in Hong Kong, so think subtropical for most of the year. In winter (mid-December to mid-February), temperatures are generally in the mid 50's or 60's (Fahrenheit) during the day, so chilly but not extremely cold.

I won't ever be wearing a full suit - either to interviews or day to day at work and the interview will probably mark the peak of my dressed-up-ness. I also have to present at conferences occasionally and want to look decent. All of the conferences and some of the interviews will be in colder-climate places, so I also need a jacket/sports coat or something to put on when/if it's a little cooler.

Tell me what to wear (whole outfit) and embed pictures in your posts, if possible, so that I can see what you're talking about. Links to websites with more info would be great too. Note: I've got a bigger body build (5'10" 190lb). Be as precise as possible w/re to brand, color, etc.

I'm thinking of a pair of dark (dark grey or dark blue or even black) dress slacks (possibly with pinstripe?), white sneakers (I mentioned in another thread that I just picked up a pair of the Y-3 New Court Japans), some kind of very light cashmere sweater (colors?).

For cooler weather, I was thinking the same bottom with a light cashmere pull-over hoodie (I hate zippers on tops) and some kind of sports coat or blazer.

Thanks in advance!

The Y-3 New Court Japans (not present in the slideshow) were retailing here (Hong Kong) for $HKD 2000 (roughly $USD 250). I got a pair on sale a couple of days ago for $HKD 1600 or so.

I emailed jeansnow (jeansnow.net) with my plea for help and he's posted to his site about the matter. This thread has been getting some views, so I thought that I should point to that post in case anyone shares any info in the comments there :

My wife and I are going to be in Tokyo for a few days on a mixed business/pleasure outing next month and I'd like to pick up some posters or prints by illustrators while I'm there. The style won't necessarily be the same, but I'm thinking of stuff in the same vein as kozyndan ( http://www.kozyndan.com/posters.html ) at around the same pricepoints ($25 or so per item).

Can anyone point me to some shops? Street addresses or urls of sites that have street addresses posted in English on them would be best.

Thanks!
