Shangai Tang

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Spent some days in China as summer hols.

Following Von recomendation (http://www.thesistersofmercy.com/links/linkmisc.htm) went to Hong Kong to shop in Shangai Tang.

The guy has good taste.

Spent some amount of money in -black- chinese style shirts. :wink:

Finally an aficionado! A voice in the desert, I was beginning to despair! Yes I have one or two pieces myself. Excellent choice and tailoring.

That's Shanghai Tang he's wearing in those pics but those were the "blond" years. "Fashion Disaster" years were earlier,with the loud flowery shirts and slicked back hair. :lol:
Always plenty of Shanghai Tang on ebay for cheap :D

Any sample pictures, edu?

I like his jacket from Dark Harvest, but I can't make anything else out. What article of clothing are we particularly looking at?

Seconded. For that money I could go for the holiday I've been missing for half a decade by now ... :urff:

Nevertheless, I do like the looks of some of the coats and jackets.
However, I'm not so very much in for traditional Chinese frog buttons ... :roll: ... :lol: ...

And for Tai Chi (or other things), clothes oughta be made of silk,
naturally - if one feels the need to wear some special clothes for this at all ...
