Nice list. William lockie is a bit overlooked in sweaters but I find them to be great. I also would add George cleverley for shoes. What’s your location? What watch do you wear?
Thanks - I live and work in NYC. My work watch is a grand seiko.....I have a couple others but have largely stopped wearing/buying them as I have a couple bigger life expenses coming up and I'm not sure it's safe anymore to rock a Lange (I don't have one, just for an example) on the subway.
Also, I never pay list price for most of the brands I listed, usually shop around online to get a great deal.
Zegna
Rubinacci, Brunello Cucinelli, Loro Piana and Brioni for the best tailored trousers.
