Best: piece I end up wearing all the time
Worst: Pieces I hardly wear or get rid off.

Can it be anything else?

I think because there is no design behind it, it's just nice stuff

but if you love something and it has durability issues than you'd feel still feel less favorable towards the item.

We should delete 90% of the threads here then. And what Fumma said.

Look closer.

Sure. I don't have many items with durability issue (well a gauzy knit is bound to be more fragile than a pair of raw jeans but thats a given). I think the last item I bought which turned out to be shitty was by Lanvin so things can be surprising. My old Lanvin stuff though is super durable.

RE: Macuser Yah deffinitly could, its pretty derivative though (sup CP x Marc by Marc Jacobs in collaboration with Marc Jacobs) Alot of stuff here is just 'nice clothes' not really a design behind it, so +1

don't you own rick dunks? I've always noticed people have a love/hate relationship with them. Its part of the reason why I've hesitated for so long on a pair.

What does this even mean? Triple needle stitching (who cares) and made in Japan with Japanese fabrics. For $175 less. Shut up. For all you know they could be made in the same factory.

find me one and i will concede that BOO is overpriced

Charvet...but their shirts aren't exactly cheap, either. For super-slim *and* super cheap, you can always try grabbing something in a kid's size, a la Tom Haverford from Parks & Recreation.

kids are fat and kids shirts aren't usually cut that slim.

Yeah, I'm not entirely sold on the idea, but I've got short arms, and a few PRL kid shirts that fit me better than all of Ralph Lauren's custom/slim fits and Gitman Vintage. The shirt tails also don't scrape the floor, which is a major plus. They fulfill my bang/buck factor.

Not all kids are fat!

I bought 2 pairs of dress pants and they have held up fine. Some of there items aren't bad, quality is OK for a mall brand.
