Hmm. Hong Kong guys take about a week. Wonder what the time delay is… marketing fluff?

charvet make amazing shit. shirts will set you back about 450 at bergdorf. i am relegated to the ascot cheng level due to an inherent inability to pay 450 for something that doesn’t suck me off, take me somewhere amazing or some combination thereof.
