利工民織造廠 Lee Kung Man Knitting Factory

Jesus, what a name. 利工民織造廠 or the Lee Kung Man Knitting Factory (HK) Ltd shop was a recommendation by my friend, NY, after I said that I didn't really know what to write for men's clothing.

Lee Kung Man is a venerable establishment that has been around for decades, providing undershirts and other accessories to clients including Chow Yun Fat and Bruce Lee. Incidentally, don't ever ask me about Bruce Lee because I honestly don't see the point of that dude. Big fucking deal he did martial arts. So did a lot of other people, and I don't see their statues being built. What, I'm supposed to be happy that white otakus and insecure Asian Americans love him and that he married some white broad and was fucking a Chinese piece on the side? Er, I don't think so.

Once, this French person said to me, "I love le Dragon, Bruce Lee!"
Me: Who the fuck is Bruce Lee? Is he a ninja?

In case you haven't noticed yet, I'm kind of an asshole.

Alright, let's get to Lee Kung Man! I passed by their Sheung Wan branch on the way to work.




I really don't know what else to say. I'm not really an undershirt-wearer, but I touched the fabric and it felt quite nice. Very soft and lightweight. Jesus, look at all those boxes! The obsessive-compulsive in me is pleased.

Shirts are really cheap, starting at under HKD40 and not costing more than HKD200. If I were a dude, I would probably rock my shirts with those lucky gold chains, old jeans and slippers. Yeah, that's right, SLIPPERS. Plastic Hello Kitty ones, too. It's too bad I'm a biological female, I would make such an awesome guy.
