Default If you only have three to five items--

Imagine:

A fire has started in your building and you have five minutes to evacuate. What 3 to five items of clothing in your closet ( perhaps your most valuable ) would you take and why?


I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes.

Somebody is bound to say it, so it might as well be me.

Clothes can be replaced, life can't. My ass would be out of the house so fast....

O.K.. I'll join in.

1.) My Berluti Shoes
2) My Gianni Versace "Atelier" silk shirts and Macrame leather jacket.
3.) My mother's fur coat -- my sister gave it to me.
4.) My Hermes silk neckties
5.) My Dolce and Gabbana Peacoat I gave myself for my birthday.

Pack it all in my LV luggage.

If you put more than 1 item in each number and number it 1 to 5 it doesn't mean that is 5 items.

Hard call. Tempting to make it a list of expensive stuff, but I tried instead to list the stuff I like best/means the most to me.

World's best blazer, by Oxxford
RLPL Mackay
Pink knit tie from Charvet
Grandfather's gray sportcoat
Pair of inexpensive suede chelseas I got from Yoox or maybe an H&K shirt


THE PURGE

Doc's enormous closet clearout -- many makers, many sizes, all awesome.

NEW: PART 3: The classic Brigg briefcase
PART 2: Sportcoats and suits and other goodies | PART 1: Shirts, trou, shoes, more

Salvation doesn't lie within four walls. I'm too serious to be a dilettante and too much a dabbler to be a professional.
Even the most miserable life is better than a sheltered existence in an organized society where everything is calculated and perfected.


By 1965 there'll be total depravity. How squalid everything will be.

I'd grab my watch boxes for which I'm seriously under insured. Let the rags go up!

I also would probably jump out of the house with my family before save clothing but for the purpose of the question

1. BarBour Beaufort Jacket
2. Purple Label Gray Flannels
3. Belvest Cashmere Sportcoat
4. Kiton long Coat
5. Crockett & Jones Boots

There are any number of pieces of luggage in my closet, wouldn't it be just as fast to chuck more things in a bag and run?


NWT Canali suit 44L, NWT Hickey-Freeman trench 44R (Made in England)

"People see me, and they see the suit, and they go: 'You're not fooling anyone', they know I'm rock and roll through and through. But you know that old thing, "live fast, die young?" Not my way. Live fast, sure, live too bloody fast sometimes, but die young? Die old. That's the way- not orthodox, I don't live by "the rules" you know."
