Been kopping for awhile now and here are my results:

Best:
ToJ Parka (immune to the cold)
ToJ BCDR (satisfied my leather thirst)
W+H MA-1 (helped me survive winter with a vest on)

Noteworthy:
SNS Herning Stark (Charcoal and Black)
RW Muleskinner Iron Rangers (no maintenance and look great)
SS Suit
KKA Hook Blazer (travel blazer)
W+H Dress Chinos (you can wear this with anything)
Prada Sidezips (surprisingly, very good quality and comfortable boots)
MMM GATs (go to sneakers)

RE MMM boots, those are always poor quality, i've returned a pair personally as well and read a lot on sf, not too many happy people


Disagree. All of mine are pretty good quality and have held up great. IIRC synth is pretty happy with his. I feel like it just matters what pair you get- like with anything some variations/seasons will be better than others.

Luckily I still have a wishlist - I'm going shopping on Sunday for a new handbag, as my clothing budget is full until Jan 2015(!), but accessories and shoes/boots/underwear etc don't count:)

Found a handbag on sale online, so kopped it.

Also ordered jeans from Yoox by J Brand - now looking for last pair of jeans!

Still going for a pizza and shopping on Sunday, but not sure yet what I'm looking for!:)

I long for the day I can say: "I'm just gonna buy a piece of clothing for 5000$ this year, gotta take it easy yknow"


Sounds like a dream come true - not to have a wishlist a mile long of jeans (and bikers and shirts)!

Currently I've got all the jeans I need (10 pairs), but there's always another pair out there...wish I could do that too!

Next year is just a pair of custom boots, if I stick to it (highly unlikely ), no new clothes until 3rd May 2016!!!!:)
