    Commodity Clothing Items- How Important is That Designer Label?

    I don't know, to charge someone $2K for a shirt, and then turnaround and charge them $200 for a white t-shirt is tacky IMO. Even rich people, I imagine, don't like being ripped off.

    Fitness is the Best Style- Building Your Wardrobe Around Your Body

    The clothes I suppose, wearing Ed Hardy, Tapout, and Affliction will accentuate your monster cock. Also, if you really want to be a trendsetter, bring back the codpiece.

    I think something that would work just as well would be for Zegna to offer "complimentary" shirts. Just as high rollers at casinos get free rooms.

    Very inspiring JLibourel. You are like a dapper Jack Lalanne! And I completely understand the issue with the bid drop. I have 9-10 inch drop, but most companies make what they call athletic cuts, and you can also buy the top and the bottom separately as well now.

    Commodity Clothing Items- How Important is That Designer Label?

    Ok, it looks like not many people agree, which is fine. The purpose was to advance my point, which I have obviously failed at. But what's up with those random pictures, are they from movies or something?

    Commodity Clothing Items- How Important is That Designer Label?

    Again, the main point wasn't about suiting. I concede that significant differences in quality exists with suits and all luxury items for that matter, which makes brands valuable (even though I said that I resent paying the high mark-up). I was mainly talking about items in the list. T-Shirts...

    Commodity Clothing Items- How Important is That Designer Label?

    II wasn't arguing about suits, cashmere sweaters, etc. I was just saying that certain items have become so common and inseperable, that it really makes no sense to buy them at name-brand full-price. One example was the white T-shirt. Another was the pocket square. The list goes on, but yes...

    Commodity Clothing Items- How Important is That Designer Label?

    But a Cashmere Sweater is a high-end luxury item, and a white t-shirt is not. Even then, with a little bit of research and feel, you can still get equally good stuff for less. For example, with cars, A Hyundai Genesis spec-for-spec, price-for-price, review-for-review outlclasses a BMW or...

    Commodity Clothing Items- How Important is That Designer Label?

    I recently read a post entitled "Kirkland Signature (Costco) Italian Ties", and the extreme negative reactions against wearing Costco branded ties inspired me to create this post. I have never liked the idea of wearing visible brands. The idea of spending money to give free advertising to...

    Fitness is the Best Style- Building Your Wardrobe Around Your Body

    This is EXACTLY what I was saying, think about how you feel now vs. then. YOU wear the clothes instead of the other way around, and most importantly, you look good to you. I was using "hitting the gym" more as a metaphor for living a healthy lifestyle BTW.

    Fitness is the Best Style- Building Your Wardrobe Around Your Body

    My point is, your fitness and diet is within your control and it should be the starting point for a wardrobe. I see it a lot like investing, you don't throw good money after bad, but instead fix the original problem as best you can. To better illustrate, let's look at the popular BCG...

    Fitness is the Best Style- Building Your Wardrobe Around Your Body

    I have been lurking around these forums for a few days, and I felt compelled to post based on what I’ve been reading. To preface this, I just want to say I am far from a fashion expert although I have recently begun to acquire sartorial tastes. Oftentimes, I see someone wearing a $2K+ Suit...
