Utter, absolute, incredible trash on a level I have never before experienced. They actually fell apart at the seams within 2 weeks of light wear. Incredible.

Wow!

$250 Alexander McQueen scarf. I've never worn it out and I threw out the tags. They've been sitting in my closet for months....

Tell me about it. Within 2 days I noticed they were "stretching". They are spectacular garbage.

I am interested to know whether anyone else has had issues like this? It seems so unlikely that I would be the only one, yet so unlikely that Tom Ford stuff is this poor?

$300 True Religion Brand Jeans... ugh.

That being said, one of my best expensive (relatively) items are my Dior Homme 19cm raw black jeans. Totally awesome.

Good thing the experts have arrived. Bloody hell. I have a gorgeous LV cashmere & silk sweater without any branding. Also a subtle blue-on-blue damier tie that doesn't say Louis/LV anywhere -- and it's not even easy to tell it's their damier print because the two shades are reasonably similar, at a glance it just looks like a solid blue tie.


And you could have also pointed that their suits also lack any noticeable branding. So, suits and sweaters (and not jeans). It's nice that you picked out a sweater of all things, off the almost non-existent LV men's RTW line to make the point that I must have no clue what I am talking about. Obviously no one is going to make a cashmere/silk sweater with a logo on it. However, if LV came out next year with a sweater that had their damier print I can't say I'd be surprised. Had I thought anyone would care I would have specified "they refuse to make accessories without..." which is 99% of their business.

I think I even know exactly which tie you're talking about. I was in the LV boutique looking at it and I couldn't figure out where the branding was and I realized I had to tilt it to see even the damier print in the background. I might wear that tie, it's not obnoxious at all.

However, these small exceptions do not even start to negate the other 99% of the LV business which is all stuff like the glasses we saw above.

Why the hell did you put a sound system in a volvo in the first place?
