20 years ago 90 percent of what i wore was Polo/Nautica or lacoste....most all my work shirts had the little horsey....
Now I hate them because of the now front pocket.
Now its mostly Kirkland brand but I do have some B.B.'s shirts and suits.....its expensive but the stuff never wears out.
My fav brand now is Tommy Bahama and I goto the store in Scottsdale
every other month to shop. Most of the clothes are for hot weather and we get plenty of that !
Im retired so unless its a funeral I never dress up.

Whatever looks good on me and fits in my budget. Brand is irrelevant.

Used to be a fiend for Stone Island/ CP Company but moved away from that.

Mainly into Paul & Shark, Prada, Gucci and some Louis Vuitton now. The chav element in Ireland took on stone island, so I had to give it up!

Same thing here, however I do wear a couple of Ralph Lauren Polo shirts and Tommy Hilfiger clothes. I also received a pair of Arnold Palmer's shoes as a gift.

Not many really high end brands of clothing here. Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, USPA and just got a really nice navy Lacoste polo! Either than those, it's TJ Maxx or Kohls whatever's on sale! I rarely buy clothes in Canada, I know that sounds weird!

Not bothered really.
All depends on the style, colour and if it'd go with the current "collection"...

Indeed he did. I still have my vintage collectible shirt. I thought about e-baying it, but it's just got too much sentimental value.

Very interesting

I wear a ton of Tommy Bahama clothing and while not considered designer by most, it's not cheap

All of my pants, shorts and shirts came from there and at least a 1/2 dozen pairs of shoes and flip flops....at the office I wear mostly golf shirts and I pick those up at resort course while I'm on vacation or here around the valley

A bit of everything but nearly all Armani for shirts, I like the cut of them compared to some of the others and for my shape they are the best fit. Big M says I'm worse than a women when it comes to shopping for clothes.

All the other usual suspects as well, Stone Island, Paul & Shark, RL, Versace and so on. I used to like Lacoste and have loads but again every Chav and his drug dealing mate was wearing it although that has changed a bit recently. For shoes Oliver Sweeney but they are getting a bit over priced these days and my favourite pair for scuffing around in at the moment are Clarke's. For trainers even though I never rarely wear them Puma, for some reason I have loads of unworn pairs just collecting dust.










I'm running out of space



I think it stems from when I got divorced a few years ago and was living on my own it was easier to just go out and buy some more clothes for the weekend than it was to wash and iron the stuff I already had

I've got Big M on the job looking after me now though, she's a dab hand at the washing and ironing !!!
