Over the weekend I made a trip to a well known menswear retailer on the south shore of Massachusetts. The way they describe their business model, they create some general designs and outsource production to a factory in Italy. In any case, I thought I would share a couple of the labels, since they seem inspired by StyleForum:

If anyone wants more info on where you can procure a Mantoni or a Montecristo, please PM me.

Louis is highly overrated in my opinion. Not to mention overpriced. But they have a decent sale every now and then.

I'm interested, where is this place? The only place that sells Mantoni that I know of is Jeff on Ebay.

Thanks!

Italian-made wool coat for $99 ?
Do they produce those on a barge packed with Chinese illegals and anchored off the coast of Sicily ?
