Any advice on the best place to buy clothes - mainly casual -- for a big, strapping teenage boy? Also, how about larger size (42) trainers?

Thanks for your reply Ness, but have not succeeded in locating the thread. When I click on your link it takes me to the main page, and when I search for the key words it takes me to my thread. What am I doing wrong?

Here is a potted summary them
1. Stanley Markets - there are a couple of shops in the main covered part of the market that do lots of surfwear/t-shirts/rugby shirts, shorts etc in export sizes.
2. Fa Yuen Street (Kowloon side) there are shops on either side of this market that have export clothing also.
3. The Nautica shops are good for chinos, jumpers/sweaters and more tailored clothing - there is one in Pacific Place and one in Times Square at Causeway Bay.
4. The outlet stores in Wan Chai - just have to walk up and down - I don't go there so can't recommend any in particular.
5. I have had great buys however at the genuine sales that are run by the people who retail roxy, billabong,ripcurl products. They have two stores on HK island side - one near the HK football Club - 1/F 11 Pak Sha, Causeway Bay, HK Tel: 2808 4554 and one in Cnetral- G/F - Wilson House, 119 - 27 Wyndham Street, there is also a Billabong shop in Times Square Shop 626 6/F Time Square, Causeway Bay tel: 2506 3118. They are called X Game and their website is www.xgamehk.com They have had two huge warehouse style sales that I have been to in the last year and they went for three days and were genuine 50 - 80% off sales. Backpacks, surfwear, hats, shoes, ski jackets, and swim wear. Take that strong lad to help you carry the spoils! Check the website or if you go into a store and make purchases to a certain value I believe you can become some sort of member and you will get a posting advising of the sales.

Hi forgot to say that Landsend online is also good and you can ask to be sent the catalogue to fill in the gaps. They have good skiwear at Stanley markets too if you are heading back to cooler climes for holidays.
The exact title of the other posting was
Factory outlets 4 teenage boys? and it was 25 days ago, posted by forest. In case you don't know the streets in wanchai are Johnston Street and Hennessey Road.
