Some mornings I feel the urge to find a stylish and unique printed T-shirt. Are there any places where I can find such a thing? I know it's going to be intolerably hot in the coming weeks but I was wondering, is there a place that sells similarly printed hoodies?
Mr Dandy: Whether you've been here for 20 seconds or 20 years, we suspect it's time to expand your world. A trip to Causeway Bay would suffice but we're going to fling you into Mong Kok. Stop moaning. It's about 10 minutes and HK$10.50 away from Central by MTR. Go directly through Exit C3 into Langham Place for everything you could possibly need.
Mr Dandy: If it's hip gear you're after, head to Double-Park, which stocks cool T-shirts by Upper Playground, Addict Co, The Hundreds and the official Major League Baseball brand (about HK$259 to HK$329; tel: 3514 9057). Hooded sweatshirts are more scarce but stores such as D-mop still have a few in gun print by Blues Heroes (HK$750; tel: 3514 4308) alongside their cool photo- and retro-print tees by Ground Zero, Transit, Sensation and Red Dot (HK$320 to HK$820). Check out 55DSL by Diesel for graphic-print shirts (HK$300 and up; tel: 2915 7741) and hoodies (HK$1,100 and up). While there, visit: Area0264, Bauhaus and Another. Dare to hit the streets? Dusty sells cartoon-print hoodies (HK$480; 215 Portland Street, Mong Kok, tel: 2838 2841) while BSX is filled with quirky Che Guevara- (or perhaps Long Hair-) inspired tees and sweatshirts (HK$80 to HK$330; 20A Sai Yeung Choi Street, Mong Kok, tel: 2928 6438).
Where can I get a nice cravat in Hong Kong?
Mr Dapper: Please tell us you're French and are really looking for cravates (meaning ties). Actually, that would be absurd for other reasons. How about this: you're assembling a Hugh Hefner costume, right? No, we've got it: you're getting married in the daytime and need to wear an Ascot with your morning coat? Well then, look no further than Ascot Chang (IFC Mall, Central, tel: 2295 3833). It stocks this type of cravat - a neckband, pleated at each side and looped under the chin to lie flat - in abundance. Choose from the range of solid colours (HK$425) to patterns (HK$845).
Mr Dandy: Do not even think about a clip-on version. A few minutes on YouTube will show you how to tie a cravat. There are, however, pre-tied silk ones by Tino Cosma at Swank (HK$1,195; The Landmark, Central, tel: 2810 0769). You should be more than capable of finding online stores but we'll get you started with TheCravatCompany.co.uk (HK$298 each, excluding shipping). For a more contemporary twist, see Initial's shortened unisex cravat in dark blue (HK$290; 530 Jaffe Road, Causeway Bay, tel: 2442 1433).
