Does anyone have a link for some good quality Lacoste polo's (or other name brand polo shirts)? I bought a ton last time I was in Bangkok, but they are all getting a bit worn out and I want to order another bulk amount to use as "work" attire.

I've had PostNL and Sweden Post coming from China. In my experience both are SUPER slow compared to China/Hong Kong/Singapore post. Also the tracking on both suck.

+1 on that. On top of slow & irregular tracking I got hit with a customs charge for importing.

Guys, I am looking for a nice passport holder. It needs to hold two passports and flight documents in A4 format (folder not a problem). I want this so my passport is together with my GF passport when we travel and we can keep tickets together. Any nice links?

I have a 45 from him that I absolutely love. Perfect carry on size if you're like me and like to keep the bag on the floor instead of in the overhead compartment.

I'm planning on buying one, but I'm worried the 45 might be too small. How much are you able to fit inside? If you could provide any pictures it would be greatly appreciated, especially pictures side by side something to compare the size.

I don't suppose this is the store you went with? If not, could you link yours?

What do you think of the suit? I've been thinking about using one of those stores as a diet endgame reward -- slim down, get a nice suit!

Yeah, that's the guy I'm going to go with. Considering the proximity to CNY, and the time required for him to make the suit, I haven't made an order yet. I'm going to get my measurements soon, and order a cheaper suit to test the fit after CNY. If he's good I'll be grabbing up those worsted wool suits. I'm sure one of those would be a great gift to yourself after a slim down! Nothing like a well tailored suit to boost confidence

I've had this happen to me, though you seem to order way more! Ironically, again, it's those cursed non-rep bags that got held up.

Ah, sorry, didn't realize you hadn't ordered! His suits look great in the pictures; I especially love the three-piece ones. It's a bit scary how they direct you to leave no slack in the measurements.

Edit: Has anyone seen any Manhattan Portage stuff? I've seen a bunch of Herschel stuff, but no Manhattan Portage. Maybe it's too low-end.

I'm looking for something along these lines, too. But mine has to be big enough for my 2 kids' passports as well. I think I'll get one of the LV organizers from the Cobbler

It's no problem, I'll definitely let everyone know in the near future when I get one though. With the measurements, that's normal. Even in person they get very tight measurements for the best fit, otherwise the suit won't fit perfectly. I would get professional measurements before ordering one, as self measuring is pretty inaccurate. It's also super important to communicate preferences with suits like this.

There are some examples of his work in the overall feedback, you can tell who sent in good measurements based on the fit haha

Oh, definitely -- I'm mostly worried about the measurements because it's AliExpress and almost everything seems to run small. :/

What suit are you going to go for?

+1 leaning towards keepall45 as well, but worried it might be too small.

Picked this up for my girl, and very surprised with the quality. It's VERY long, soft as hell, cashmere/silk blend.
