Does Hong Kong have my sizes?

im 183cms tall and weigh 85kgs.

in Australia, i normally buy size L clothes, size 52 suits and size 33 jeans and pants. i also wear size 10 shoes.

do normal hong kong stores carry clothes and shoes that would fit me?

i am a bit paranoid as i have been told by friends in hk that stores only carry very small sizes

I'm built about the same and you can find stuff, but your selection is limited. I buy a US L or sometimes XL if I want it bulky but in HK I was buying t-shirts and polo shirts that were XL or XXL and then it was a bit snug.

You can get *anything* in Hong Kong but you'll be a bit limited in the options (i.e. 2 shirts that fit you in one color vs. 20 shirts in 5 colors for someone smaller).

Business attire at some western stores has a larger line (Brooks Brothers, etc).

I think that you will have problems. Just pointing out a fact - Hong Kong locals have no breasts and if you have breasts then t-shirts, jumpers etc will not fit and if you buy a bigger size then it is just to baggy around the shoulders.
Size 10 feet - WOW - I would say bring as much as you can to be on the safe side.

I think 183 cms is 6 feet only, 10 feet (3 meters) I think he wouldn't fit in the plane on the way here

lol. you'll have no problems finding clothing. I wear xxl or 3xl, size 13 shoes and 40" jeans (although my actual waist size is 34). No shortage of large clothing, shoes are a little harder though. Size 10 is easy. I still find footwear in my size here, although sometimes I have to order it if it's something specific I want (i.e., snakeskin loafers in size 13).
