The Good Morning Towel

The Good Morning towel has Chinese characters that translates to "Wish you a good morning".

According to Spot, the towel, usually made of cotton, were commonly used by rickshaw pullers, labourers, and coffee shop waiters to wipe off sweat.

Some stores in Singapore, such as Hardwarestore sell a packet of 12 Good Morning Towels for S$7.50.

For the Doublet scarf, however, it has a pricetag of $530, according to SGAG, although the currency is unclear.
