I've got a ton of links, robin proved no help when I was looking for something and I ended up finding it myself. Let me know if other "experts" aren't any help and I'll send you some.

Thank you.

In terms of what I actually have and love wearing right now:

Naked & Famous
Wings + Horns
Lands End Canvas (yes, I admit it: only their chambray and linen shirts, mind you - but these are really good for the price)
Epaulet
Conference of Birds
ARN Mercantile
45rpm (older stuff though, they've gone a bit meh in the last few years)
Pal'las Palace
UT
Puma (I've decided I like my trainers simple and unpretentious)

There would be a rather different Top 10 for brands I would like to be wearing if money was no object.

[LA Guy]

Are we redoing this?

Okay, well, in no particular order (and I am pretty sure that most of this list would hold even if I had unlimited funds.

1. RRL
2. Maison Martin Margiela
3. Dries van Noten
4. Wings + Horns
5. Engineered Garments (actually, WWM overtook it for a while, but with Daiki gone, it's definitely back to EG)
6. Our Legacy (just solid, well wearing basics, like Wings+Horns)
7. Common Projects (go to kicks - best versions of fancy Chucks at about 10x the price of the original, but there you go.)
8. Buttero (My favorite kicks right now are Buttero. If they had more models, and used softer leather for SS, they might overtake Common Projects altogether.
9. Trickers
10. Carmina
11. N. Hoolywood
12. Jean Shop

Okay, I guess that I cheated a little.

 

[Fycus]

Engineered garments
Levis (lvc)
Raf simons (out of my aesthetic now but I love his work)
New balance
Gitman (tied with brooks brothers)
Supreme (outerwear fits me perfect always)

I really only wear eg nowadays though

In order of preference

1.Ann Demeulemeester

2.Yohji Yamamoto

3.Damir Doma
/
4.Junya Watanabe

5.Number (N)ine

6.Comme Des Garcons H+

7.Ute Ploier

8.Sacai

9. Alexandre Plokhov

10.White Moutaineering

1-4 are pretty much the brands I wear daily aside from Uniqlo/AA/Muji basics. After buying heavily into Ann D/YY/DD for the last few years I'm now slightly shifting interest to the more street-wear vibe designers(mainly Junya and WM). Would love to explore more but with limiting time and fund it's probably best to focus on the few designers I absolutely adore.
