I forgot to mention the Aloha Rag overcoat I purchased on clearance. I don't get to wear it often, but wore it over a suit tonight. Pretty great fit and details.

Best:
Many white-t's from jcrew. Fit works well for me, no branding and easy to wear every day.
toj1 from last year, had for almost exactly one year now. I get loads of wear from it.
Also good:
fishtail and baseball jacket for pleasure and thumbs, both are nice to wear but I haven't had them in the right season for long yet.
worst:
APC PNS, wanted something like my PS but higher back rise and that's what they are but I'm stupid and that's not what I wanted. The back rise is higher but the waist is still the same size so they just have much more sag ********** and still give me a plumbers crack very easily. Leg's fit well too so if I ever grow out only ****** they'll be good. Think I'll order something from artist denim next year.

With 2012, I started to find my general footing with how my style is going.
Also I found my appreciation and love for Ervell's designs, thus this year was FULL of purchases.
Got a few more things (non-Ervell) coming in the mail, so I'll add those respectively once I receive them.
Best:
Patrik Ervell F/W '11 Navy Wool-knit Baseball jacket: Amazing amazing piece. Will always be a staple layering piece for me.
Patrik Ervell S/S '12 Burgundy Shawl Cardigan: Same as above.
Patrik Ervell S/S '10 Ivory Knit Sweater: Again, save as above. Ervell's knits never cease to amaze me.
SHIPS Grey Trousers: Fit me very well, and are always in my trouser rotation.
Not so great:
Patrik Ervell F/W '08 Light Blue Standard Button-down: Ervell's sizing in 08 was really strange. Fit was a mix between XS/S and was too long for me.
Our Legacy Great Sweat Navy: I really wanted to like this sweater, and actually it had a pretty nice slouchy fit on me. But sadly, wasn't worth what I purchased it for IMO.
Bedwin & The Heartbreakers Hillel Baseball Shirt: This was my fault, but the size I bought was way too big. (I thought I could make do with a size up. NOPE)

It's difficult for me to get excited about anything other than the jackets and footwear I bought since I tend to pair everything with jeans and a tee. Best ones that are seeing the most wear....
