Generally, yes.

Yup, they are there. For about 2 or 3 bucks a pair. Cheaper on sale. In all seriousness, they are very nice.

24K Gold what? A zip lock bag of loose nuggets? 24K is a little on soft side for most accessories.

Also another place to try:

Burlington Coat Factory. They usually have a table advertising 3 pairs for 6 dollars. I've found a few pairs of Polo dress socks in there. Some of the other off-brand they usually have on there are nice as well!

No but we can all make lists of brands we consistently use for certain things: EG: jeans for me are levis 511, suits are corneliani mostly.

I think what this person wants is where to focus their energy, although the whole lost needs to be scrapped.

Other categories are too broad, this is what I came up with:

OP's list is ridiculous.

Jeans & Pants:
"¢\tLevis 514, 511, 520
"¢\tUniqlo Slim Straight
APC PS
Underwear & Socks:
Bjorn Borg
Hanes comfort soft

Shirts : Polo's, Sweater & T-shirts:
"¢\tGucci - great, slim shirts but insanely expensive
"¢\tBurberry - great polos, get their treyforth line for slim-fit dress shirts
"¢\tRugby - not quite my style
"¢\tRL - cool in pastels
"¢\tLacoste - a bit too made in peru for me
"¢\tAnything Uniquely Sexy - less familiar
"¢\tJ. Crew - back in style, and a good price point. check mrporter for deals
Jeans & Pants:
"¢\t7 for All Mankind - banish from your list NOW. the uber mall jeans
"¢\tTrue Religion - this would look good if you like to slick back your hair and wear chains
"¢\tRock & Republic - can work, i'm not a huge huge fan
"¢\tLevis 514 - a classic
"¢\tAmerican Eagle* - of all the cheap jeans, these are definitely the best. strangely they seem to work
- I'd add APC and Dior Homme for a slim look and some of the Japanese brands for uber quality
Underwear & Socks:
"¢\tGucci - would be embarrassing
"¢\tDolce & Gabanna - would be even more embarrassing
"¢\tRalph Lauren - would look good if you're over 60
Sneakers & Boots:
"¢\tLouis Vuitton - gaudy sneakers, some more subtle dress shoes
"¢\tGucci - insanely gaudy
"¢\tPrada - cool, surprisingly good quality
"¢\tJordans - of course!
"¢\tNike Air Maxes 95/97 - they work
"¢\tTimberlands - good if you're into the urban jungle and are a horrible person
"¢\tRalph Lauren - excellent on the purple label end of the spectrum but looking at loads of cash
Accessories:
"¢\tLouis Vuitton - try to go with the more subtle patterns, but great construction
"¢\tGucci - same as above
"¢\t24K Gold - less familiar
"¢\tRolex - the new explorer ii is a beast! (in a good way)
"¢\tRL - great belts especially
Suits:
"¢\tBespoke (tailored or personalized suits; think Italy for bespoke goods.) - if you're into bespoke, i'm surprised you need style advice
"¢\tRL - purple label if you're a classic dude, black if you're metro

 

[Superfluous]

Having Ralph Lauren on there is a good start... but the right Ralph Lauren at the right prices. There's Ralph Lauren that most people know and where, then there's the real Ralph Lauren that most people haven't heard of, wouldn't notice, and generally can't afford at retail prices.

The vibe I got instead was that the OP was most likely a cousin of Hermes Man, especially after his other thread: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=243594

This is my new favorite OP. That list is awesome. Too bad he didn't have that Hermes cape on the list that Hermesman posted a while back to go with his ziplock bag of 24 Kt. gold nuggets.

Perhaps add this to your list for snacking.

Please...anyone remotely related to Hermes Man is an aristocrat. Aristocrats would rather be shot than be seen wearing some of the brands from the aforementioned list.

I'm surprised no one told the kid about the CVS cloth tape yet...oops, did I let the cat out of the bag?

Target have great cheap socks, just don't expect them to hold up...after one or two washes they are basically unwearable...they're now my gym socks.

What is the point of this rather silly list?

If these are YOUR favourite brands, how can anyone make them less so.

And no, bespoke does not simply mean Italy.

This may not be the right place for you.
