Buying Levi etc. type shorts (other than surf logo stuff in expensive shops) is difficult, perhaps impossible in Bali (take some). (Balinese don't wear shorts - a cultural thing).
I can just about comfortably fit into a large size shirt (prefer extra large) here and found extra large in the Indo stores equals only large in the West. So, depending on your size, you may want to pack prepared as I didn't see that many extra large sizes on offer - having said that, I bought some Polo by Ralph Lauren cotton short sleeved shirts (just the job for the climate) for only 44,000Rp in Sept in the Mata Hari store on Jl Legian in Kuta.
