Dandy & Dapper

It seems ridiculous that you can only find heavy jumpers here that are more suitable for Siberia than Hong Kong. Where can I buy weatherappropriate jumpers?

Mr Dapper: My taste is less outré than Dandy’s, so I’d keep it simple and about fabric content. Look for cotton jumpers, such as the crewnecks and V-necks by Brooks Brothers (HK$590 to HK$690; IFC Mall, Central, tel: 2234 7088) and COS (HK$490 to HK$590; 74 Queen’s Road Central, tel: 3580 7938). Fine merino or virgin wool is excellent for in-between seasons and easily sourced at the likes of Zara (HK$399; IFC Mall, tel: 2234 7305), Zadig & Voltaire (HK$2,300; Pacific Place, Admiralty, tel: 2918 9522) and McQ (HK$2,890; Lane Crawford, IFC Mall, tel: 2118 7777). In air-conditioned offices, light cashmere and cashmere blends can be just as comfortable, including those by Zegna Sport (HK$5,100; Alexandra House, Central, tel: 2868 9638), Tommy Hilfiger (HK$730 and up; The Landmark, Central, tel: 2525 8848) and Jet 8 (HK$2,980 to HK$3,180; The Landmark, tel: 2810 4233).
Mr Dandy: Dude, the springsummer collections are gone and we’re into autumn-winter – that’s why. Yeah, sometimes, though, you just need to check the fabric content label (usually inside left). T by Alexander Wang has an awesome sheer striped wool acrylic jumper (HK$2,500; Joyce, Harbour City, Tsim Sha Tsui, tel: 2367 8128) and Topman has tons of Nordicpattern knits in cottons or light synthetics (HK$450 and up; Harvey Nichols, The Landmark, tel: 3695 3388). But you’re missing a great opportunity here; blazers give just as much warmth but look sharper.

I care about smelling good, but not leaving a trail of cheap cologne. I’ve been hearing the name Killian (?) around, especially something with “incense” in the name. Do you know where I could go sample it in Hong Kong?
