Back
a few gentlemen's silk patterned 1920s cheongsams i acquired in an auction in Hong Kong, recently. If you ever ever watched any Donny Yems early Ip Man movies or were a fan of Sir Run Run Shaw's "chopsocky" flicks back in the day, you would have seen these being worn. All were hand stitched, with inner pockets if they don't have external ones. Amazingly all the silk and stitching are still good. These would have been worn by upper-class men in Hong Kong, because the quality of the material and hand tailoring, would have made them prohibitively expensive for farmers, fisher folk, and shop merchants. They may be worn by either sex. Anyway there are 14 pieces in all additional close ups and condition reports available by request. Please visit link belw for dimensions. Ideal for cosplay or Hanfy practice.
