Hello Everyone...

I wanted to have your views on reasonable quality men stuff that are reasonably priced brands.

Personally I love to have a diversified collection of suits, ties, shoes, shirts, etc. So, to satisfy my needs I can't go to the big brands all the time...

I was thinking of stuff that are good, stylish, but not so expensive so I can buy more items..

Brands I tried on that level include Boggi..Massimo Dutti...Fabrica (Turkish Brand)...Courtfeil....Enrico Marnelli...Marco Azzali....McGregor.. I liked Boggi, McGregor and Marnelli styles most..also the cut and fit of Azzali is great (but not the materials)...

Any thoughts on the above in terms of quality and fit? any comparable brands for better quality and same price range?

Thank you

Better to have fewer decent items than many which struggle to make the grade.

Depends on the item. For suits and shoes, agree 100%. With shirts, you don't always have to spend a lot to find something of decent quality that looks and fits nice.

I'd rather have a few good quality suits but more affordable shirts.

Thank you for your replies...

I believe suits and formal shoes should be always of the highest quality affordable...We really cannot miss with suits and shoes, we will then be missing with our image!

With regard to shirts, I believe a combination between high quality shirts and a bit of nice patterns not necessarily from high-end manufacturer would be fine...

For casual stuff we can graded quality stuff as well.......

Overall...my view is get decent quality branded items...but why not enjoy some few colours and styles from everywhere (As a plus!)
