Yes, suits for everyday wear, plus ties.
Many of the latter I buy in Thailand (where else!!).

As for your comment on finding sizes etc, when last in the Philippines, I bought a British made socket set, for well under half the price it is in the UK.

Marks & Spencer have a branch in Manila, and also get many of their clothes made in the Philippines.
I am told that prices in the Manila shop are way above UK prices for items that are made in the Philippines.

I guess there is some logic to both of those and your example on clothes, but it escapes me.

Well, I dont buy the name brands. I was referring to the "generics". While the price for those is always cheaper here in China, it's very hard to find what I want ... banghead

Just one of those things, I guess.
