best threads out there?

I prefer items from hardware stores myself, as Armani won't do very well at all in the Himalayas or on a pitching ship on the ocean. So I do my clothes shopping at Canadian Tire, next to the auto parts section. Like the Lenco which is the subject of "Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot", these threads go for years and years without need for a tailor, do the job well and can be depended on ;-) Thanks for the vote, Dave.

Warrenh, you need to check out Missoni socks, and maybe Marzotto suits/sportcoats. Zanella makes great trousers as do Hickey Freeman!

Now those are great threads.

One of the most amusing threads I have read was: How did you get started in this hobby?

I'd take Ermegnildo Zegna over Armani any day.

Anything ending with a vowel.

Zegna for ties, yes. some shirts. Suits? NEVER. Armani, Canali rein. for me at least...this going going to become a real thread..
