Zegna is tier 1, to me, it's one of the hottest mens shoes out, may be the best shoe I have ever worn

just got a pair this week

a lot is just the difference in a brand being hot and cool vs better quality, but it's all on a scale compared to many other brands.

a lot is WHERE it's made. Burberry is all made in China. Brunello, Zegna, Loro all made in Italy by hand.

rather than a list, it should be like a scale with categories. The hottest brands in fashion aren't going to be Hermes, it's a classic look. They are two different things. Balenciaga isn't trying to be Zegna.

Lol,...

Send a link to his "brand"...

I am being serious.
He a model, and also designs men's underwear.
He even modelled one of his pieces for a coli poster.
They doubted he designed male underwear, so he posed in his mirror.
The picture is around here somewhere.
Ask him if he a designer, and has a clothing line.

A lot of mid s*** hidden behind legacy names. Palm Angles has to be some of the weakest gear I've seen only circulated through swagless artists/influencers. Acne is pretty basic as well but they got some pieces. Dudes all of sudden messing with Kapital (which has pieces as well) is lol worthy too.

NA
Notice that brands like ralph lauren and armani appear in multiple list, that's because they cater to different market segment and meet some or all the criteria and
that's reflected in the rankings


let me know what you think and share your thoughts

You should make it an official tier list:

Gucci and YSL tier 3 but Prada tier 2?

Gucci is the beats by dre of the luxury fashion industry. hype and marketing over substance. The quality of the materials and construction are below par, their horsebit loafer being the exception, everything else they make is mid quality and trashy

As far as YSL is concerned, their quality is better than gucci but they lack the quality and exclusivity of tier 1 and 2 brands

List is kinda all over the place.
For Tier - I would agree with Kiton, Brioni, and Attolini. The others have no place there. Loro Piana spans between Tier 3/Tier 4
You don't think hermes and chanel belong in tier 1, that's crazy

How did you determine this list?

:mjcry: @ massimo dutti, allsaints, and paul smith being in the bottom tier. Those some brands I rock on the low that I get comments on

Harrods in London might be the goat luxury clothing store given it's size, selection, and variety. It's the store I finally got to put my hands on Loro Piani, Kiton, Brunello and a lot of other brands I rarely see in stores. They had hella casablanca, rhude, and Kaptial type brands in there too so I could finally gauge the sizing of shyt

I will be honest. massimo dutti and allsaints stacks up to some in tier 4 in terms of quality but it lacks the exclusivity
