Anyone interested in designer clothing?

Hugo Boss when I'm skinny, Brooks Brothers when I'm not. I have a lot more Brooks Brothers.

You know you have a lifetime buyback warranty, right?

My apologies for doubting your designer skills.

Nice one.

True Religion, Gucci, Rock&Republic, Scotch and Soda, Ray-Ban. Yup that is about it

I used to be a label freak but now it's all about quality.

Shoes - usually go for Church's but have some other Northampton shoes. Have bought some Gucci Chelsea boots recently but disappointed with the construction and the Church's are still my "go-to" either boots or brogues.

I can't get enough of Sunspel t-shirts and polos at the moment.
Also, John Smedley cashmere, merino wool and sea-island cotton is all top quality.
I like Dunhill too.

I basically buy anything I consider top quality but try to stay away from anything with a logo (no matter how small).

Not really into brands which in my experience can be high expense and questionable quality. However I do like Fred Perry polo shirts - chest size in inches rather than the generic S,M,L offerings. I like the look of the Sunspel polos SeamasterGMT
I like to find independents excellent quality at reasonable prices. Their Breton jumpers are superb quality.

Not on yer life, pally....not only is it a rare collectible, but it's part of a larger history as yet untold.

Just read about a fire in a garment factory in Bangladesh that killed 29 people... doors were locked and there was no way out... the company made clothes for Tommy Hilfiger.

Knowing where, how, and under what conditions the clothes are put together would greatly influence my choices about brand... it's just difficult to know!

I'd love to find cool clothes not made in a sweatshop somewhere, ideally made in the US... so obviously I don't have very many clothes.

I agree! The brands I mentioned in my earlier post are British heritage. Sunspel t-shirts and polos ( Q82 Egyptian cotton) are all made in Long Eaton, Derbyshire. Their underwear is now made in Portugal but to meet orders not to cut costs.
John Smedley manufactures in Lea Mills, Derbyshire (that's ALL processes) and has been in the same factory for 250 years from the start of the industrial revolution. The workers are allowed to fish in the river in their lunch hour. The same river that originally powered the mill 250 years ago.
Church's are still made in Northampton, UK despite being owned by the Prada Group. Church's were the first shoe company to make a left and right shoe!

It's not just Rolex with a heritage!

As soon as I've signed Holly and Kendra I'll let you know.

[daveathall]

When wearing them, I have the ability to make designer clothes look undesigned.

[masterserg]

Mostly Quiksilver beach bum stuff.

Hugo Boss pants and Banana Republic Shirts for work.

[i2onnel]

I usually wear

Dior Homme, Balmain, Givenchy, Rick Owens, YSL, Balenciaga, Margiela, Common Projects, Visvim, Ralph Lauren, & thats all I can really think of off the top of my head, but there are a few others.

A few accessories from Hermes, Bottega Veneta, LV, Gucci, and a few others.

Sadly much into fashion...
