Your Favorite Brands

I have driven a car made by Ford everyday for the past 15 years. My Dad worked there for 40 years and old habits are hard to break. Of couurse relative pricing is nice, too.

Love ties by Ermenegildo Zegna. Expensive, but once you wear one, you don't want anything else. Hand made and heavyweight, I laughee until I bought one. Don't pay Meiman Marcus prices ($140 plus), though. Ebay has them at less than 50% of that.

My girlfriend is hooked on MAC makeup and Coach.

Anybody here have brands they like?

Re: Your Favorite Brands

New Balance athletic shoes and Allen Edmonds dress shoes are two of my clothing favorites. I will sometimes "go cheap" when it comes to some articles of clothing, but when it comes to shoes I don't really even consider much else.

I've been a Ford man for most of my adult life. But my Dad was big on Chryslers (Plymouth). Growing up I think we had two or three of the Plymouth station wagons that were the push button automatics.

I just bought my first Honda this past summer - an Odyssey van. We love it. Of course it's the wifes and I rarely get to drive it. I still have my two Fords (both Sables). But I'm going to buy me a new Honda Civic this spring and give the Fords to the kids to drive.

Clothing....

Arizona jeans
Dockers
Arrow shirts with a button down collar (casual wear)
polo style T-shirts (solid color)
