I have a problem of finding a brand that I like and sticking with it to the point of going a little overboard. This tends to happen with clothing for me.

Out of 27 polo style shirts, 24 of them are Lacoste.

Anyone else with a similar problem?

Watchdog · 17 August 2009, 12:31 PM

Nothing wrong with loyalty, but OCD . . .

wino4ever · 17 August 2009, 12:45 PM

makes me hungry for M&M's. :-)

R1@160@alltimes · 17 August 2009, 12:46 PM

Lacoste make some quality shirts

Taffi Abernathy · 17 August 2009, 12:47 PM

Here's my weakness . . . LV. Brand new SC bag, cross between Keepall & Speedy. As far as clothes, I'm pretty much a khakis, oxford shirt and loafers person, always have been, and have also been a loyal LL Bean customer for years and years. (I also like Brooks Brothers and Lands End.)

RolexPete32 · 17 August 2009, 12:49 PM

You are not alone. I like Lacoste as well and own many.

2careless · 17 August 2009, 01:03 PM

For me, I've always stuck with - van Hausen shirts, Hugo Boss suits, Ralph Lauren or Lacoste for casuals, Levis jeans, Floresheim work shoes, Rockport for casual shoes, and Jockey undies

vh_bu98 · 17 August 2009, 01:03 PM

Me being OCD is an established fact.

The Lacoste shirts was just an example. I could have taken a photo of my sock drawer and all your would see is Smartwool. My friends think I need to diversify my brands. The problem is when I start to diversify, I do the same thing all over again. A good example would be me buying Marmot for jackets and coats for years until I got into Arc'teryx and that is all I buy now.

RolexPete32 · 17 August 2009, 01:07 PM

Are you into Burberry? I started with a tie at first.... As for right now don't even ask. I dropped alot of bucks on burberry stuff and I am sure will get more as it arrives at my AD.

Ultraman · 17 August 2009, 01:09 PM

I tend to diversify and sample different brands of the same product. However, I tend to purchase two of the same item IF I like it alot. Very bad habit, I must admit.

Well why do you only have one Rolex (LV)

?

RolexPete32 · 17 August 2009, 01:14 PM

Does anyone buy Ferragamo shoes? Wondering? IF so thoughts?

I have the Mano and enjoy them.

Taffi Abernathy · 17 August 2009, 01:15 PM

Steve, funny you should ask . . . I'm no longer a one Rolex person, I just ordered another and will post next week when it arrives.

Yes, I went through my Burberry phrase a few years ago with slim sport dress shirts. I pretty much gave them away to my younger cousin when I gained 40 lbs. I just have a few polo style shirts and sweaters left-over from my Burberry days. I am now into Robert Talbort or custom dress shirts. Man...I've spent a lot of money on clothes over the years.

XplorJax · 17 August 2009, 01:57 PM

Interesting! I used to like Lacoste polo shirts. But now I have about 5 pairs of their pima cotton T-shirts. Too hot to wear polos in FL heat.

Does it count if I get a black bezel for my Sub LV? Two of the same items?

Lion · 17 August 2009, 07:29 PM

The only brand in clothing that I have purchased over many years is the Levi brand of blue jeans but I do not own 10 -20 pairs. Otherwise I'm not a clothes person!!!
Now for my Pepsi I have also bought the Coke bezel insert and plan on buying the black bezel insert as well.....
Also I would like to own about 10 more models of rolex, does this count...

esm · 18 August 2009, 12:59 AM

used to be brand loyal, but not anymore. i will get whatever look and feel nice on me and not paying retail. now come thinking of it, i have loads of RL, TH and Hugo Boss for casual wear and Adidas and Nike for sporting events

we do, my wife and I.
they do make quality footware, apparently, as told by the wifey. she bought almost 10 pairs of them last month.
i have a few pairs too, and they do feel comfortable and good quality.
the slipper/sandles are nice too.

iSellJerseyShore · 18 August 2009, 01:02 AM

Question, do you buy all of them at once or at separate times?

Deep Sea · 18 August 2009, 01:41 AM

Patagonia for outdoor active wear. You simply cannot wear it out.

Filson for durable outdoor work wear, and stuff I wear on colder days in the factory.

Patagonia also for boxer shorts and all insulation layers (long underwear). The silk weight poly material they use is very durable, and feels great.

Asics for running shoes. I usually have 4-6 pairs at once, worn in rotation.

Red Wing for work boots. I have three pairs that I wear in rotation, and the sum of their age is probably 30 years. Great boots!

Lucchese for cowboy boots, or sh*t kickers, whichever term you prefer.

Levis & Carhartt for jeans.

We have a 72 Buick, 87 Buick
88 Chevy, 2002 Chevy

I could see how somebody could claim I am loyal to a certain brand.
