Hard to decide on just one, but I'd have to say one of my DBSS knits as they are quite amazing.

Worst:

This is madness. The one I got in 09 was not my favourite of the 3 I have but on the whole these might have been the best purchases for me EVER.

Best:
Rick Owens/drkshdw purchases. Leather insert pants, cords, basic tees

Worst:
A couple of BoO shirts. Quality of that brand, in my mind, has decreased dramatically for the price.

Best: EG spring jacket on a huge discount, Gap CPO shirt

Worst: I lost the important half of my hiking pants so that kinda sucked. Koto chambray, too much of an impulse buy.
