although i'd much rather just kop band of outsiders around $100 all day


My custom-tailored JCrew gingham shirt fits better and slimmer than any BoO that I have tried. And all for under $70.

All I have to add is that if your placing clothing buys before the rest of your life then you need to reconsider.

Good for you.

I'd probably buy BoO for that price - though would still be up for another $20 - $30 to tailor the sleeves and waist.

All I have to say is if you have to come and spend time on forum about clothing you're a pathetic person.

The last several pages are like all the thoughts I've withheld, but presented by other people.

Even more pathetic is coming to a forum about clothing, not contributing anything worthwhile, and attempting to act superior to people who come and spend time on a forum about clothing to actually learn something.

^Seriously, who comes to a forum to learn about clothes. They should have learned that **** in grade school.

Random fashion thought: does anybody know why Valentino didn't do a Spring/Summer 2010 presentation or runway men's show? I keep searching online, but can't find anything. It's like they just tried to sneak out of Milan! I always like to see what they put out, as the last 3 years or so have had some really nice collections... but they POOF! Nothing. And the valentino website, wwd, etc. has nothing.
