We are a pretty well dressed bunch.. Suit - Single breasted, three button Bergdorf Goodman private label, made by Sartoria Castangia. Light grey flannel with a white chalk-stripe. Paid appx. $300. Blazer/sportcoat - Single breasted, three button Luciano Barbera (by Attolini.) Light-to-medium weight Super 140's navy wool with a windowpane pattern done in French blue and bottle green. I'm also extremely fond of my black cotton/cashmere corduroy sportcoat by Cantarelli and my bespoke Alan Flusser Black Watch plaid sportcoat (single breasted with peak lapels..) The Barbera was $240, the Cantarelli was $160 and the Flusser was $99. Dress slacks - lightweight gabardine wool in the perfect shade of tan/cream by Oxxford Clothes. Paid $40  Dress/casual slacks - My Sartorio (Attolini) cords. They are the most incredible cords ever - 50% silk and 50% cashmere, I have them in dark red, dark orange and dark olive. Paid $65/pr  Dress shirt - a toss up between a spread collar number by Borrelli in the perfect shade of rich cream and a dark yellow/cream broad-striped buttondown, also by Borrelli. Both for Wilkes Bashford - I don't think ANYBODY can beat Wilkes when it comes to dress shirts and ties. Paid $35 each  Casual shirt - another toss up between a light blue Borrelli with a brown check pattern and a light blue chambray Borrelli. Paid $20 for the checked shirt and $10 for the chambray Coat - Lightweight and soft brown/grey tweed Kiton casual coat. Hard to describe but the coolest cut of any casual coat I've ever seen. I actually made $250 on this coat but that is another story... I'm also rather fond of my super soft, pebble grain, dark brown Longhi coat which reverses to black cashmere/wool. Paid appx. $240  Tie - Light green smooth-woven with light silver polka dots by Ike Behar. Paid $24 Tie pin - antique art deco stick pin - a tiny but beautifully detailed lady's head. Paid appx. $30 Cuff links - simple antique small gold ovals with a subtle roped edge. Double-sided of course. I'm also very fond of a pair of double-sided gold ovals with a design in bottle green enamel. Paid about $20 each I think.   Pocket Square - either a blue/white linen square from Bergdorf or my white linen RLPL squares with the perforated, seamed edge. Paid $5 for the RLPL and $13 for the Bergdorf. Dress shoes - antique tan cap toe derby by Edward Green for Ralph Lauren Purple Label. Paid $270 Casual shoes - black shell cordovan "combat boots" by Laszlo Vass. They are a plain toe, high lacing, double stitched  boot with a cleated Vibram sole. I got a good deal since I'm the rep :-)  Don't get too upset over the obscenely low prices - I shop 50+ hours a month in the course of my business so I'm bound to run into a deal or two
