My one guilty, totally needless pleasure and purchase was my Gucci shoes. My one hatred is cheap shit suits! I think the biggest problem with suits is the fit & look, not always the cost. I'm not a suit kind of guy, so I dare say you'd know more than me, but even quality expensive suits can look shite. Some people can get away with wearing almost anything & at the risk of sounding a massive cock, even more than usual I hasten to add, I am one of those people & your Gucci's would more than likely look better on me! In all seriousness though my best mate has been spending serious money for years on tailor made to measure suits & they just never look that great.... It's just the way he is. When I got married I walked into a shop two days before & I grabbed a £90 suit that just happened to fit perfectly & was cut well & I looked the bollocks. I looked like I'd spent some decent money! True story that........ Edited November 16, 2017 by Accip74 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Accip74 7,112 Posted November 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) Turned into an interesting thread this, rather than just my ramblings. I like clothes a lot & it's interesting to hear some people likes & attitudes towards them. My weakness has always been Jackets/Coats. I could buy them weekly if I had the money, though I still manage to buy one or two a year without fail & my wife still thinks that's a bit much. Im not a lover of labels for names sake. I can happily wear vintage or high end gear, but often find labels & logos tacky. I don't want to look like an off-duty estate agent when I'm out & about. If I bought Stone Island that little badge on the arm would have to go. I have actually used a dress maker before to remove a large logo. The jacket was as well made as you could get, but the large logo tacky as fcuk, I've still got the jacket, it will last forever, but you wouldn't know the well known brand. Women with Louis Vuitton is another pet hate. Yeah your bag cost a grand, but that fcuking stupid Louis Vuitton logo all over it looks fcuking tacky as fcuk & they just don't get it do they?
