It looks like the Streetwear people are having too much fun with this thread:

http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=25951

And we just had our bi-monthly Kiton vs. the world flamewar at AAAC, so what personality goes with what brand of suits? I'll kick things off:

Borrelli: Neopolitan hypebeast

Armani: Don't make me roll up my stripey sleeves, and kick your ass with my Kenneth Coles

Attolini: Don't make me unbutton more sleeve buttons, and kick your ass with my Berlutis

Brioni: I wish I was James Bond or Donald Trump.

Oxxford: I drive your father's Oldsmobile

Kiton: That chip on my shoulder took 40 hours to sew by hand.

Brooks Brothers

A&S

Corneliani: Bargain hunter special. "Sure they are dirt cheap on eBay but the construction is great. Honest! Spare any Paypal coupons, guvnah?"

Hugo Boss: "You shall bow down to my shiny fabric, peasant!"

Men's Wearhouse: "But he said he guarantees I will like the way I look! It is Super 150s polyester/wool mix too! Damn, I hate these corporate straitjackets uniforms."

Hugo Boss: "Dude, everybody in my fraternity is SO jealous of my suit! PASS THE KEG!"

Prada: "Oh my god! Look at that Hugo Boss guy. He so completely represents the mass market consumer culture while I represent the pseudo-intellectual, slim-fit crowd who flocks around a label that pretends not to be a label."

Valentino: "You like my suit? It's made in Egypt. You'd NEVER even be able to tell, non? What's that? Oh no, bubbling and warping like that is a part of the allure."

Caraceni: "Never heard of me? Hmph. I'd expect as much from YOU."

But I think I may have. Err, purely accidentally, of course dear chap. Does that mean you HAVE some Paypal coupons

Brooks Brothers: "Hey, this suit is an American classic! It has to be if the company's been around longer than my grandfather, right?"

A&S: "Muhahaha, I can get soft construction without Italian tailors!"

Huntsman: "Hey, A&S bloke, your suit looks flimsy."

Zegna: "I got this at Bluefly! It was a real steal since this an expensive suit at retail."

Hugo Boss: "But the name is bold-sounding, isn't it?"

Men's Wearhouse: "Calvin Klein is a quality name in suits. The salesman told me."

I'm going there in June. Not for the clothing. But it should be great!
