For some of us who got suckered into being label whores before our SF awakening...Hugo Boss had a well marketed reputation for producing "higher end" suits. They bombard men's magazines for decades and for many of the people I socially interact with...Hugo Boss is considered a respected suit maker...a step below Armani. Since most people don't know better, seeing celebrities wear these clothes, seeing them offered at special retail stores and seeing the heavy advertising leads many into feeding into the sales marketing strategies for the owners of Hugo Boss
Once one understands how a suit is made and how other companies...and more importantly, bespoke tailors produce a far superior made and fitted item...then the allure of Hugo Boss disappears
I once wanted a Hugo Boss suit. Now, I do not desire it
My transformation is typical of why folks at SF care little for Hugo Boss
I now have multiple bespoke tailors, a bespoke shirtmaker, a bespoke and MTO shoemaker...thanks to SF
Otherwise, before SF, I might have digressed into being suckered into paying high retail for Hugo Boss suits, shirts and shoes...just so that I can be a mindless LABEL WHORE worshipping Hugo Boss client
Style Forum has helped focus and sharpen my tastes for men's clothing. I'm sure there are some forumites who find for the price they pay, some Hugo Boss suits look good on them and fit well. I am not one of them and NEVER WILL BE
