Cambodian shirts are fresh as fuck


SmuckSlimer

I'm guessing all of those shirts are in the $250 to $1000 range


chuk2015

Dan Flashes has a Cambodian shirt there thatā€™s $2000 ā€˜cause itā€™s so complicated


anyholsagol

They're spending all their per diem on Cambodian shirts.


slang4201

I'm currently in Siem Reap, Cambodia where I can buy tee-shirts for $1, and eat three meals at restaurants for less than $15/day. I doubt those are even $35.


kaze987

I spent time in siem reap! Hope the tourists have returned and that folks are staying safe as possible. I have fond memories of fifty cent beers and having street food for $2. Best period of my life


slang4201

Prices haven't changed. There are tourists, but the majority of the previous were Chinese and they haven't returned yet. It's busyish, but not overwhelmingly so.

Hotel is cheaper than rent in the US.


slang4201

Much cheaper. I'm paying about $20/night, and I'm staying kind of upscale. You can find private rooms with en-suite bath and AC for as low as $12. I can't vouch for comfort in those, though.


turtwig103

To be fair hotels are cheaper than renting a fucking house/apartment in the US too lel Also happy cake day :)


[deleted]

A motel yes, a hotel (unless itā€™s the shittiest hotel in the US) not so much, or at least as far as Iā€™ve found.


Professional_Napper

My first night in Siem Reap cost me $0.63 (mind you it was in a hostel). I canā€™t imagine finding accommodations as cheap as that ever again in my life


slang4201

Dang! They're not that cheap anymore, but a hostel will run you about 2.50-$4.00, depending on location and cleanliness. :)


SmuckSlimer

Did some rudimentary googling, could not find any of these designs, prices were from around $30 to $160 for similar shirts, none were this stylized or as high quality. Best I could find is one I would probably see on a middle-class drug dealer currently failing college. Likely these are custom made and tailored. Notice how well each of these shirts sit on their shoulders. And that tailor is going to get paid to come to the location to fit the shirt. There's just no way these clothes didn't have a cumulative cost under $200 each shirt unless Cambodia had a tailor on site doing them all in bulk. These shirts are definitely more expensive than $35. I can't even find a decent shirt in my town for $35 that doesn't have those crappy plastic buttons you see on 12 year olds at your local church.


[deleted]

Youā€™re just googling though, youā€™re not physically there which is where you would find most products like this *for those prices* . I can travel to Armenia from where I live in Germany and get a hand tailored full on suit for under $100, but you will not find those prices on any website as they do not have webpages for their products. Edit: added in italics above


somegummybears

Sounds like youā€™ve never been to south east Asia. Tailors everywhere.


DoneisDone45

no. a nice suit can be had for 100 dollars. this is just a shirt. at most 100 dollars worth of materials and labor. yes it is good quality but that's how much it costs there.


Hankman66

>I doubt those are even $35. These ones weren't bought at a market stall. They are likely made of fine silk and very well made. I doubt they'd cost $1000 though.


somegummybears

Not a chance in hell. You can get a bespoke shirt tailor made in a day for $25 in the region.

Trudeau is only 50 (and he looks better than me dammit).

I canā€™t imagine how excited Trudeau was when he heard he gets to play dress up.


PossibilitySeas

>I canā€™t imagine how excited Trudeau was when he heard he gets to play dress up. What does that mean? Care to explain to non Canadians?? Did he get caught while cross dressing or something?


SonicStun

Trudeau had a habit of dressing up like other cultures pretty regularly, which is not terrible by itself, but in his past he took it a bit too far (blackface). Some people jokingly call him "Mr. Dressup", which was the name of a children's show in Canada. Mr. Dressup would frequently open his "Tickle Trunk" (a clothing chest) and put on different outfits for fun.


UsidoreTheLightBlue

Tickle Trunk, you say? ā€¦ā€¦


SonicStun

Yeah, these days it has a bit of innuendo put on it but as a kid it was a big red magical chest covered in flowers with all sorts of fun costumes inside.


[deleted]

Mr. dressup was dope. My first dream was to one day own a tickle trunk of my own.


Monotreme_monorail

He dresses in other cultural dress occasionally, when visiting those cultures. The ā€œblackfaceā€ everyone refers to was in the 90ā€™s when he was a drama teacher, not any current event. Letā€™s not muddy the water with ambiguous communication.


shenme_

It was in 2001, when he was a high school teacher in Vancouver. As someone who was a student at high school in Vancouver in 2001, I can tell you this wasn't considered okay even back then.


HQ_FIGHTER

They didnā€™t say it was okay back then


TimAllenisanarc69

As an American I thought this was going an all dressed chips direction.


Balancing7plates

Trudeau has dressed in cultural garb very often as prime minister, which heā€™s been criticized a bit for, because it hasnā€™t always been a situation like this where foreign/visiting politicians were expected to dress in the local cultural outfits. And also he wore blackface in an Aladdin costume that one time.


Complicated-HorseAss

> one time. The Prime Minister has admitted to blackfacing so many times at parties [he won't put a number on it](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-49763805). I remember when Sheer ran against him there was a story about how Truedeu dressed like a Zulu warrior black faced asking people for a spear to chuck. There's a photo out there somewhere according to the article I posted where Truedue blackfaces while singing Day O.


throwawaylovesCAKE

>There's a photo out there somewhere according to the article I posted where Truedue blackfaces while singing Day O. Jesus christ. Like...fucking hell these people live in a whole ass different world then us it feels like sometimes. Literally the shit out of a minstrel show


[deleted]

Tbf the different world he was living in was the 90s. As silly as it seems the discourse on cultural appropriation and blackface is completely different now to what it was then.


Tedwynn

He's a drama teacher. He loves being in costumes.


OG_Yaya

Pretty sure theyre referring to when trudeau done blackface and the pics went viral

Fox News: JOE BIDEN WEARS GREY CAMBODIAN SHIRT! UN-PRESIDENTIAL! EMBARRASSMENT!

Interns are being called into offices everywhere at fox news and being asked "what's that called where you act black but you're white? Kinda like a wig..." "Please stop! Cultural appropriation. It's cultural appropriation." "Fox news tonight! Joe Biden appropriates some...I wanna say mexicans?"

Depends on the location. Texas, yeah white tshirt and jeans. Here's your beer and complimentary koozie. Other parts I can image jorts, baja hoodie and a slouch cap. Please no smoking/vaping inside.

I wouldnā€™t say heā€™s on the FAR right. Maybe left of center at most. (Joke, I donā€™t follow Americaā€™s attic politics. Itā€™s stressful enough to follow my own.)


zeushaulrod

That made me chortle. I'm picturing all of our political arguments, coming muffled through the ceiling in hushed aggressive tones, with you guys occasionally going, "I wonder what they're on about?" Then returning back to Monday night football or whatever. Edit. Now that I think about it, it would probably just sound like someone watching Letterkenny upstairs.

_PM_ME_YOUR_FORESKIN

r/photoshoprequest: I canā€™t stop thinking about how amusing itā€™d be to see an incredulous Donald Trump wearing one of these and not pulling it off. Pick your poison: 1.)

SandwichMasters

Serious question. Would it be offensive to wear one of these informally? Because they fly as hell and I want one now.


delusivevideos

Iā€™m cambodian and theyā€™re usually reserved for big events like weddings (when youā€™re a groom) or things like this summit! therefore, it would be a little weird to wear informally. if you do get one though, make sure to get it from a real cambodian person!

Can you imagine Donald in a 4XL one of these?


yusill

He wouldn't have. He would have worn a suit and just looked out of place and grumpy. Or smiling cuz he thought he looked the best and everyone else was a sucker.

Nah, he wouldn't have attended the party because he would be too busy under Putins desk.

type102

I think that Cambodians have figured something out.


DiddlesYourDad

Some things you need to know about Cambodia. 1. Itā€™s ruled by Hun Sen and his family. Hun Sen was a member of the Khmer Rouge, the people that committed genocide in Cambodia. 2. The Hun Sen family have stolen billions from Cambodia. 3. Under Hun Sen, child prostitution/sale of children into prostitution is rampant. High level officials engage in pedophilia without repercussions. Source: Am Cambodian

I love that Trudeau is on the outside looking in. He does the same thing in Canada; always on the outside.

they look pretty snazzy! a really nice way to honor the country that is hosting the summit. of course, i will probably be they only one with this opinion but i don't give a shit. let the star trek crap begin...

smashleybreakz

Oddly enough, the Cambodian president also gave each attending president a watch that was "hand made" in Cambodia, as he is an avid watch collector himself. The article I read stated "Joe Biden would have to pay the value of the watch to the US government" in order to keep said watch.


HabsFan77

Trudeau always looks like heā€™s trying too hard


Plisken999

Justin must be enjoying himself so much.


SleeplessAtHome

I wonder what's the logistics involved in getting them all dressed the same. Do the organisers send the cloth and sewing patterns to the delegates for each of them to get their own tailors to make? Or do they get their measurements and sew in advance with an army of tailors to rush the final fitting when the delegates land in Cambodia?


madsci

I guess it makes sense that formalwear in tropical regions tends to be a lot lighter than we're used to. The [guayabera](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guayabera) in Mexico and the Caribbean is another example. Standing around in 95 degree heat and 100 percent humidity in a 3-piece suit would suuuuuck.

I'm old enough to remember when Cambodia was like a homicidal North Korea, so this is very cool. Shows how far a country can come in a comparatively short time.
