Possible, but it'll be really shitty polyester and you'll be sweating all the time.

Look. I worked for Ted Baker and if I DARED dress like that Ted (real name Ray) would have fucking chinned me and tell me to fuck off back to the banking industry in the 80's ( or pinned me down and bummed me, check the daily mail article, funny shit). I think dressing in shirt and tie is a bit old fashioned, BUT, I'm cut from that cloth, so if I've gotta go old-school to meet the uniform criteria at work, I'm gonna go balls to the fucking walls.

I'd wear a pocket square if I could survive in a blazer in a tropical climate.

Right you seem to know the answer to this. What material makes you sweat the LEAST???

i bought 7 or 8 years ago some tailor-made shirts, knever found again where exactly, but it should be around north side of olympic stadium, was 15 dollar that time, best ever had, they still look very nice, better than i do after 8 years !! It would surprise me the price went down after 8 years !!

I'm gonna sink 10 quid and see what the verdict is. It's cufflinks ties and tie clips I still ain't got a clue about. TO THE NIGHT MARKET!!
Do the bars have a dress code now ? :)

Cotton or linen. Linen is a bitch to iron though.
You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone? That's common sense leaving your body.

Cotton/linen blends or linen/polyester blends are harder wearing and don't crinkle up like pure linen.

The problem for me is, i dont fit in a "normal size" shirt in Cambodia, almost impossible to find my size. Made several tailormade shorts years ago, this january found a guy who made me a perfect tailormade-short. He is on 214 street, near corner from 113, there are several, he speaks good english, and his wife who is always there (he isnt) doesnt speak english. Very nice short, fits perfect, but he knows the price, probably its more complicated to make a short then a shirt. It took some time as Dave-welshman told me before going, better take his phone number. i think the name was Khea Kheang, and its wrong on googlmaps, its on the north side from 214, not south as on maps !!
