Clothing brand survey

I decided to do a simple survey of these brands on which do you prefer.

IZOD vs. Chaps
Nautica vs. Tommy Hilfiger
Van Heusen vs. Dockers

My picks:
IZOD
Nautica
Van Heusen

What would your picks be?
 
I only know Tommy Hilfiger. And I guess I’ve vaguely heard of Dockers. I don’t think the rest is common where I live. Are they US brands?

I have the fashion sense of the average garden slug. Clothing is what keeps you from getting arrested for indecent exposure. Brand names? I just don't care, except I refuse to pay a premium just for the name on the label.
 
No clue. I'm not familiar with any of those brands.

I wear Diamond Gusset brand USA made jeans for pants.
Pendleton Wool "Board" shirts also made in the USA
Black rock T shirts or black organic hemp T shirts
Merino wool blend socks
Oboz brand shoes

For a coat I usually wear a Loki brand jacket.
 
Just bought some very nice mens dress shoes that were Dockers. For me, l have cute TH purses that are durable, and have the conservative look l like. IZOD for men's clothes l like. Nice fit, well made.

Otherwise l am shopping knockoffs because l shop for for what l like and durability, not brand or money.
 
Ah, my cats like Kong. The Kong Kickeroo wins from the Kong Wubba, but it’s a close race!

"Where's your Wubba?! Where's your Wubba?!" Our dog knows that toy by name and goes to find it. Many tug of war games are had using the "Wubs".
 
I only remember Dockers pants.

As a kid I had like exactly one pair of them which was, according to irritating parents, the "nice pants" for stupid waste-of-time events. This always struck me as being a special level of stupid, because who was going to notice or care? Particularly as at any event I'd go hide in some side room till it was over.

I freaking *HATED* those things. Just... uuuuuuuuuugh. I still remember that nasty feel of having to wear them. Felt gross. The memory of it also feels gross. Cant even look at them.

Once I hit a certain age I started responding to this demand with "LOL" and that was the end of those.


As for what I do actually wear, uuuuhhhh.... t-shirts (no buttons on anything ever), sometimes in good condition, sometimes ratty, I tend to use things until they fall apart. And then basic shorts (elastic/tied) or sweatpants. I dont do jeans, those are even worse than the Dockers. Bleeeehhhh....

I have no actual "style" whatsoever and simply wear whatever is in my drawer, which is generally what I got for Christmas in recent years. Usually the shirts I wear will have some sort of image on them related to some character or thing I'm into.

And that is my experience with "fashion". Honestly the most unique thing I "wear" is my keychain, which is often wrapped around my arm when I'm out of the house.
 
I'm not a fashionista of any sort, at least when it comes to clothing I wear... I buy most of my pants from Mark's Work Wearhouse, a Canadian store, I almost always wear cargo pants (love the extra pockets!), most often a simple t-shirt

I do like wearing a nice coat, have several I've purchased through thrift stores...

And my other sense of fashion is my hats (no ball cap in sight), fedoras of various styles, two or three different cowboy hats, I have about ten different hats...
 
The brand that fits me best is POLO. I have never had any custom tailored clothing, so decided to treat myself to a couple of pieces in Thailand. When I want to treat myself, I will get Rockmount Ranchwear. For leather it is Schott or Fox Creek - it is hard to beat good American leather.
 
I have a number of literary t-shirts...most people do not get the references, particularly my headstrong, obstinate girl one.

Had a guy get huffy with me about it until I pulled out the reference from Chapter 56, page 344, line 29. Chapter 56, page 261, line 20. Chapter 56, page 331, line 27. The three versions of the book I have and proved that yes, indeed, it is a very literary reference. It is also a massive obsession since age five...

Lady Catherine de Bourgh to Miss Elizabeth Bennett in the garden at Longbourn.

I do well with chic geek, but not everyone understands the Oxford Comma Appreciation Society either...

I still need to bite the bullet and order a pair of the Anne of Green Gables handwarmers, but I can't justify it right now. They're $30 (US). And I have a lot of handwarmers, most handmade.

Under Armor. Expensive, but the clothes look good and last for years. I've got clothing from 7-8 years ago that look brand new.
UA and Champion shirts I use in the outdoors. Especially the light long-sleeved Champion shirts for on water paddling. It beats greasing myself up with sunscreen.

I first saw them live at Lollapalooza over a decade ago.
