Anyone who spent any time in HK in the 1960's and 1970's has heard (or bought from) Lee Kee. This old receipt was furnished by Bruce Talmadge ... from this it looks like he paid HK $17 for a wool shirt and pair of slacks.

Although they sold all types of goods, they were best known as 'bootmakers' ...

Well into the late 1970's I would order shoes from Lee Kee no matter where I was in the world ... I'd send them a shoe advertisement from a magazine and, lo and behold, about 2-3 weeks later my new shoes would show up in the mail and at a fraction of the cost.

A side story here pertains to a pair of hand-made golf shoes that were bought in Vietnam at an unbelievable cheap price. They were great except for one thing ... they had been cured in urine and, thus, you didn't want them in your house. They were not Lee Kee's ... and I left them in Saigon.
