Imagine:

A fire has started in your building and you have five minutes to evacuate. What 3 to five items of clothing in your closet ( perhaps your most valuable ) would you take and why?

Somebody is bound to say it, so it might as well be me.

Clothes can be replaced, life can't. ****** would be out of the house so fast....

If you put more than 1 item in each number and number it 1 to 5 it doesn't mean that is 5 items.

Hard call. Tempting to make it a list of expensive stuff, but I tried instead to list the stuff I like best/means the most to me.

World's best blazer, by Oxxford
RLPL Mackay
Pink knit tie from Charvet
Grandfather's gray sportcoat
Pair of inexpensive suede chelseas I got from Yoox or maybe an H&K shirt

I'd grab my watch boxes for which I'm seriously under insured. Let the rags go up!

There are any number of pieces of luggage in my closet, wouldn't it be just as fast to chuck more things in a bag and run?
