best threads out there?

I'd take Ermegnildo Zegna over Armani any day.

Anything ending with a vowel.

Zegna for ties, yes. some shirts. Suits? NEVER. Armani, Canali rein. for me at least...this going going to become a real thread..

I'd take a Zegna over an armani any day, but I'll take a Jack Victor over either in the blink of an eye. And shoes, its gotta be prada, they may take a year plus to really break in properly but once your there, you've got a pair of shoes for life. Believe it or not for ties, I like a lot of the really small houses work- there's a level of craftmanship and quality of materials that seems unavailable with the larger houses.

Its funny not only with audio are our tastes different but the same holds true with fashion!

good shoes never have to be broken in. Break in calf leather? Prada? over priced, but nice stuff. It's Bruno and Salvatore for me. I'm teachable, however. I'll keep an eye out....
