Dr Gloom 19933 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Anyone got any brands they do wear/care to declare an affinity with? Come on, lets have a laugh. I'd like to think I'm not 'brand led' but Diesel always seem to have one or two decent offerings (belts and kecks anyways, not really so much for tops) and I'm well into Hudson shoes at the minute. As far as predictions go, I'll get the ball rolling. I reckon: Wacky: Sonnetti/Stone Island SMO: Firetrap Renton: Geordie Jeans Gemmill: Tesco own Alex: Sergio Georgini Brock:Top Man Fish: USC Wincing at all of the above btw. casual wear - stussy, carhartt, red ear, penguin, maharishi posh threads - paul smith, reiss etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually never owned anything by Firetrap. I find George at Asda has all my fashion needs under one roof tbh. In all seriousness, I'm strictly an old school Lacoste, paul & shark, duffer, carhartt geezer. Btw, Wacky would love to be able to afford Stone Island gear, he has to settle for knock off stuff though in extra small/kids sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 86 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 me, marks and sparks stuff for work. lasts forever and looks tidy. trolleys by paul smith or calvin klein when i wear them smart stuff is paul smith. casual stuff is pretty much anything. trainers and footy boots by adidas only. 501's renton is right though haven't worn them since 93.... if you have reasonable sized bits its actually quite awkward....

Gemmill 35096 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I would get Marksies suits for work, but they don't make the jackets with long enough sleeves. The clothes are designed for fucking midgets - 42 Long jacket, and the sleeves are halfway up my arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawD 31 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Me, quite like most Ted Baker stuff. Diesel is also canny. For work stuff I usually go to Slaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 9085 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Got some nice shirts sent over from Italy by a mate, not a brand as such but really nice. I've got to agree with Gemmil, the M&S suits are too short in the arm for me, I only really wear two suits, but I've a few jackets from the Next Clearance shop... only cost me £15 each... fucking bargain. Shoes... I dunno I just pop into Schuh or the like and pick something I like. Trainers is Adidas. Jeans are either Next, H&M or Topman. Plain t-shirts from H&M, nice t-shirts/casual shirts from a store called ARK in the Corn Exchange, sells Tokyu and the like If I'm buying something nice I'll go into House of Fraiser and pick and choose from the brands in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Hog 336 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Diesel for the smart/casual jeans and trainers for going out. H&M do some canny stuff for everyday. Anything else is just what I like at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Had a couple of Stone Island items a while ago but found I never wore them, their gear is overpriced shite imo. Labels I've found myself always going back to are Marco Polo for Jackets, Cardy's & T-shirts, Ralph Lauren for T'shirts, them polo sports numbers. On the jeans front it's Wranglers, they enhance my bulge and arse lovely, then cap this all off with a pair of Adidas superstars. Put this all in the mix and you've got 4ft fanny magnet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_NUFC 0 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 On the subject of designer fashion. I had a 'British Popular Culture' lecture today at Uni, which this week was focussing on Shopping and Consumerism. The lecturer who takes this is one of the big 'experts' in British Retail/Consumer History, and he's written countless stuff on the subject. He was going on a big rant about designer labels today. Apparently they're not actually designed by the labels they have. Many of them are designed by a company based in New Jersey, which then makes them in China/India/Indonesia etc. All they do is pay the designer labels for the licence to stick their names on it. He then went onto a similar rant about perfumes and aftershaves. All the fashion label ones - Calvin Klein, Stella McCartney, DKNY, Tommy Hilfiger etc. They actually know nothing about perfumes and just sell the licence for them to an Oxford based subsidiary of Unilever called 'Industrial Odors' which also produces the odors for stuff like Flash and Toilet Duck, which apparently is a very similar process. And then there was his class and personality theories that he's conducted on City Centre vs Shopping Mall shoppers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellikit 0 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I don't really wear designer gear. I buy what i think looks nice, it doesn't have to cost a bomb and have a name on it. I've got plenty of nice t-shirts n trousers from matalan. Only time i'll ever wear something posh or expensive is if i'm going out on the lash, or there's a wedding or some shit going on.

Gejon 2 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 The best jeans I ever had were by Pringle but I don't think they make jeans anymore unfortunately I actually have a YSL jacket but it doesnt have the logo sprawled all over it, just a tiny little label on the pocket.
