My jeans are almost always Levi's. What can I say? They are well made, durable, and once I find a pair I like I tend to buy multiple pairs. Laura is constantly buying me "trendy" jeans so I can branch out, but I almost invariably hate them and take them back for another pair of Levi's.
I wear a lot of golf shirts and most of them are Polo or Nautica. I like those brands because the collars don't warp and curl as much as other brands I've tried. Also well made. I also like shirts from Lands End and LL Bean. I like sweaters from Lands End, The Gap, Eddie Bauer, and LL Bean. I also wear a lot of hoodies, particularly when it's cold.
Preferred brands for trousers are Lands End, and Ralph Lauren (at least 65% wool if not 100%). Dress shirts- Polo, Nautica, Izod, Geoffrey Beene, and Lands End.
New Balance are the only brand of athletic shoes I'll buy anymore. For casual shoes I like Keen, Earth, and Born. Dress shoes- Johnston & Murphy, Bostonian, and Kenneth Cole.

I usually shop at Macy's, Kohls, or Mervyns. I don't buy clothes very often, but when I do, I wait for a big sale at one of those stores, show up on a weekday morning when it's empty and buy a lot of crap, and don't come back for another 6 months or year.
I've kind of stopped caring about my clothes these days. For pants, I rarely wear anything but jeans or shorts. The jeans are always Levis 560s, I go for baggy and comfy. I also wear a lot of golf shirts and just go with something dark, as well as baggy and comfy.
Athletic shoes are usually New Balance like spaceage, I like how they have lots of EEE width sizes to try. non-athletic shoes are usually rockport.
I'm not sure when I stopped caring how my clothes look or how well they fit. It probably coincided with when I stopped working out and just let the flab take over.
It's funny how guys dress in general, there are some guys where you can almost pinpoint the year when they decided to stop caring and just stick with a look and go with it and damn what everyone thinks.
My manager has a complete 70s look to him. The long hair, tight pants, button-down shirt opened just a little too much. The clothes aren't old, but everything new that he buys still fits a fashion sense frozen in time.
There's another guy I work with that exudes grunge flannel, it's pretty impressive. It's like he just got back from a Pearl Jam concert in the early 90s.

Mine are running shoes. I bought them with intentions to "run" with them three times a week. Now I just wear them to work.  |
