Premium Outlets - Banana and Ralph Lauren for me. Wife gets most of her clothes from AliExpress or eBay. We also paid cash for our C2S so...
I own a lot of Ralph Lauren stuff but I don't buy from their outlets because they have different factories making the clothes for outlet malls, cheaper materials etc.
Here's an idea for a thread - where do we buy our threads?
Me? Sak's 5th Avenue (business wear) Banana Republic, Tommy Bahama (casual), Allen Edmunds (shoes), eBay (Accessories - don't laugh).
What about you?
Allen Edmund is an American-styled shoe, which means the form is symmetrical rather than naturally conforming to the foot. Italians and Spaniards are the best shoemakers. And, it doesn't have to be overpriced. For example, Moderately priced shoes ($250 - $400 range). For example, although Mezlan has shoes at a much higher price, their moderately priced shoes still have the form, fit, and comfort.
Turn an Allen Edmunds shoe upside down to look at its sole. Then look at the sole of any Italian shoe. The contoured fit becomes obvious.
