What's your favorite "sleeper" brand?

[InfamousX]

I think mine is "Theory". Although their clothes are still expensive for the average person, they are relatively unknown. I like that the clothes are stylish but not branded. And most of their shirts fit me well right off the rack. Actually I'm only referring to their shirts since I don't own any of their pants.

I've always been a Pullman man, but whatever floats your boat.

I'm not sure if it counts, but I just bought a Khaki colored Cotton peacoat for the Fall from Land's End Canvas for $80. EXACTLY what I was looking for, and the only place I could find it after searching high and low. Definitely a fan now

I like the private label stuff from bergdorf.
Their shirts are cut really nice and their fabrics are generally superior to all their PL peers--NM, S5th, etc. They're shoes are also well made, nice and substantial.

There is this tailor in the south of italy... something with Rooby...

Ryan Rowe for me. I have 3 pairs of shoes from them and 2 of them get the most wear. The best casual shoes out there.

Shirts - Oriali - not sure if these are made anymore.
Pants - Haven't tried them yet but a place nearby sells Hiltl.
BR sweaters, not sure why. Just like them.

Brooks Bros. For the most part, people can't tell since there are no logos, and the service/warranty's great.

Same with Lands End.

+1. LOVE Brooks Brothers on sale for Sport Shirts and odds and ends

 

[jsherman02]

Isaia for sport coats
Gravati for shoes

I ain't telling

In general I would say those who are not really brands but rather manufacturers producing under their own label. E.g. Piacenza 1733 (similar to Loro Piana I think) for wonderful cashmere sweaters, which they also make for many high-end brands.

Non-Polo RL (everything, suits, shoes, dress shirts, sport shirts, sportswear)

[chemadam]

Mossimo, surprisingly.
