I think you are trying to mould my reply into something that satisfies your priors about me. I said I don’t like political ad campaigns That brands indulge in. I didn’t say anything about not liking interracial couples Or people of different races. My wife is an Indian American and I am half African half Italian. I am not bothered by these posters but am bothered by the fact that these brands seem to be pushing a personal agenda to appeal to the liberal millennials chasing the Excess in everything. Kind of what Phillip plein and Gucci do

Doesn't make sense to me when you say you want to avoid companies pushing a political agenda when you want companies to meet fifteen political points before you buy them.

I want brands that are well made, spend minimum amount of resources of marketing fluff and blowing their own horn, are truly passionate about what they do, not have logos, treat their workers well and are not owned by Kering, swatch, richemont, lvmh etc. These are political points?

Yes, how you treat workers is a political issue.

Things such as chinos and white sneakers can only be so well made. There are a billion companies for chinos and white sneakers. Many of them are passionate about what they do, treat workers well, and don't have logos. Just stop by any one of the affiliate vendor threads on this forum. Many of them carry the kind of clothes you want. None of them, as far as I know, carry brands owned by LVMH. Many are very exclusive. They are also all well-made goods.

Then I'd look into the affiliates on styfo.

Kent Wang comes to mind.

No Man Walks Alone if you want that price exclusivity. SEH Kelly. Yeossal.
