Brand loyalty

[Mike B]

Wow, many of you have really nice collections !
I usually never stay with one particular brand. However, for clothing I have mostly RL (tons of Polo's, and a few suits). For working, for the past 10 years I've been buying Timberland Pro work boots, however I have noticed a significant drop in quality with the last 2 pairs I have bought so my next pair of boots probably will not be Timberland's :(

No, not really.

I'm a graphic designer, pretty familiar with the essence of branding and how companies become a brand. So far the only brand I'm strictly loyal to is Apple Computers. I have an ipod 30GB and a 15" MacBook Pro. In the past I had a ipod U2 version (broke 3 times, had it replaced for free 3 times, but after the warranty was up it broke again and I had to buy a new one) and a 17" Powerbook.

Not really loyal to any brands.

That is a lot of Lacoste shirts, Lacoste shirts must feel like a uniform to you. I have 3 RL Polos and when I wear them consecutively, I feel like they are uni's.

I went through my clothes phase but I figure the amount spent on clothes can add up and you can get another watch. When I fell in love with watches, my clothing phase no longer existed.

The only thing I buy are T's from the Gap and BR but the only thing I am willing to spend money on are leather goods. A nice belt and shoes will complete any outfit

5 of these in assorted colors:



and throw on a blazer or sport coat...I am set. Work is another story.

I am very loyal to Oliver People and Persol.

I am also loyal to Old Navy's jeans. They fit me perfectly, comfortable, and affordable.

This sounds strange but I am loyal to products from certain countries and regions. I will often look at products to see where they are made and will sometimes even boycott them (eg pickles from India of all places). Also try to avoid Chinese made for reasons of quality.

jam - will try and purchase French or English (little scarlet for example).
cheese - King Island or Tasmanian, also French.
coffee - jamaica blue mountain (when i can afford it)
coffee machine - Italian
cars - Japanese (German hopefully one day).
beer - Tasmanian or German
wine - Australian or French

I am loyal to brands I like: ASICS running shoes, Dooney & Bourke handbags, Linae Paolo high heel shoes, and Sperry Top-sider casual shoes. I tend to stick with one perfume for several years, too.

My husband and I are also pretty brand-loyal with automobiles. We purchased 3 Toyotas in a row, got a MBZ, and now have 2 Acuras. My in-laws loved MBZ and BMW, but after driving in our Acuras they are also a 2 Acura family.

I use to be....but now that Im retired I really dont care anymore. I wear what my wife buys
or mail order from Cabelas....I like the cotton safari shirts they have.
We only buy Toyota's for the past 27 years so im loyal to Toyota.
We are royal cup coffee (villa rey) blend for the past 4 years.
Sorta of loyal to Omega watches....own more than any other watch.

[Taffi Abernathy]

I am loyal to David Letterman - not Leno, and now not O'Brien.

I think for items of clothing the closest I come to brand loyalty would be Lands end for most of my clothing, I really like the cut and way that stuff is made.
For shoes, well I have to say I have had a thing for Churches shoes since my early twenties. There is nothing finer than a good pair of hand made English shoes, Part of it is the smell of the leather, amazing and I never smell that smell with shoes made elsewhere!

I love Italian shoes..Unfortunately Italian shoes do not love me! I have yet to find a pair that fit my wide at the toe, narrow at the heal feet

Oh yes, one last one. I have a thing for Sears own label (Nevada) Tshirts, they are cheap (usually on sale for $5.00) and last ages, really nice cotton. I just have a mental block spending more than five bucks on a plain cotton Tshirt especially when these last ages and are super soft and hold their shape!

My wife love LV & Chanel bags.

Me? I bought anything with big discount (except watches of course).

For me it's Saddleback Leather Products. Just picked up a new briefcase from them and will post pics when it comes in next week. They are unreal!
