Mi Chiamo Eka - DC "high-end" menswear brand

[ctrlaltelite]

i read about this brand, mi chiamo eka, run by one of d.c.'s male socialites with a passion for italian suiting. looks like his line is a bunch of rtw shirting and suiting, the suits appear to be made of super 150 and dress shirts made from egyptian cotton with reinforced buttons and collars. they also make a military shirt. anyone have experience with this brand or do you think it's crap? personally while reading about it i get the impression of bonobos pants meets ready-to-wear suits. ie: gross. http://www.michiamoeka.com

It looks like **** from mens warehouse. Hell, if anyone wants this **** style might as well go MTM at bachrach which seems like better crap http://www.bachrach.com/. Oh no.. upon further investigation it's everette hall redux..

Definitely a flop. What's up with the Eurotrash wannabe trend in DC lately?

Wow! An American brand with a corny Italian name that makes cheap looking clothing with awful fit to display on some of the worst models I have ever seen in my entire life.

I think I might start my own clothing line. Put a bunch of **** from men's warehouse on a website and increase the price to $1k. I'll personally change all the labels to Pizzeria. In addition, I'll make sure my website is grammatically correct.

I don't mean to be insensitive but how the **** do you sell suits by using a model with cripple ass hands.

Not too surprised about this one; after all, DC is Hollywood for ugly people.

Wow ... I didn't expect something so uninspired. Shapeless, dull suits and woah! A waistcoat by itself! I take it all back.

I cry for DC if this is "high end"

This is bad, really bad. We don't dress this badly here.

******* horrible... UGH.. Looks like **** that would be sold at some third world marketplace (and not even in the capital) by a one-handed half blind leper "tailor"
