One Thing to Buy in 2007

[Get Smart]

What's your ONE specific item you intend to buy this year? (not just "brown shoes" or "gray suit")

for me, it's to get a good pair of cordovan penny loafers..either Alden or Brooks. I've always thought of loafers as form over construction but I think I'll splurge and get one that has both.

anyone else?

 

[Bandwagonesque]

Thick as Thieves stuff... provided I'm employed by the time I graduate

 

[sho'nuff]

im looking into getting a hand on one of those beautifully patinated 2-eyelet derbies by either Corthay or St. Crispins.

any color, rich red to a deep purple or a burnished squash yellow.

 

[kronik]

Charcoal pinstripe suit, preferably Brioni but we'll see.

 

[DocHolliday]

Pearl gray flatfront trousers

If I can't find the perfect pair of those, and I've had trouble so far, then a pair of rubber-soled brown bluchers.

Mine was a Barbour Beaufort, and I just received it today from Fishing the Cape (a good deal at $226 shipped since they're phasing out the Original Beaufort for one that takes a zip-in liner as opposed to a snap-in liner).

Now I only have 360 more days to think of something else...

Bandwagon, good answer

I made a personal goal of certain things I wanted to accomplish for my Church, physically, and financially and the gift will be a Chris Despos suit in gray flannel 3 piece when I hit those goals. I doubt it will be this year but soon.

My first custom suit

 

[norcaltransplant]

Jaeger Le Coultre Reverso (used) Duo? Sun & Moon?

...maybe... maybe not.... seems like a lot of money for a watch

 

[Vintage Gent]

Unable to limit my desires, I pick two must haves for the oh-seven:

(1) Three piece navy herringbone suit from Chan--sb peak lapel, db vest with peak lapel.

(2) Crockett & Jones Saviles in brown.

 

[lakewolf]

a black and white glen plaid suit with purple windowpane over it...

 

[Destyled]

My first "real" suit. Probably a solid navy by Canali or the likes.
