Excellent quality men’s clothing that isn’t made in Asia

Brioni - buy it on ebay

Isn't Hugo Boss manufactured in Germany?

R3 Did you learn that from Archer?

I have a nice BOSS casmere polo-collared sweater R3, it was made in Italy.

R1 You buy Brioni on Ebay?! I wouldn't trust that for a second.

Pringle of Scotland

Fuck! Pringle's is now manufactured in China. Sorry about that, OP.

OP: Berluti, Brunello Cucinelli, Belstaff, Boglioli, Burberry, Dunhill, Cerruti 1881, Canali, Tom Ford

There actually may be some Asian manufacturing in a couple of the more well known, mass-consumed brands (Burberry) there...oops! Most are probably Italian made.

Lands End is pretty good quality (God I hope it is made anywhere but in China)

Brooks Brothers

Brooks Bros. is no longer reliable, some items may still be USA made, but several items I own are made in Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and Hong Kong.

A list of 100% USA manufacturers.

I buy only shoes made in Italy, none of this Chinese crap.

R15= OJ Simpson

OP=Princess Eugenie's fiance

Thanks, R14, that was quite useful.

All you people talking about Eurotrash Italian clothes (well made, sure, but Eurotrash nonetheless): the list at R14 is where it's at.

R19 Well, they did mention The Princes so "Eurotrash" was what they were looking for. Haven't heard of 90%+ of those Made in USA brands and I can only imagine what the clothes look like and how poor the quality is.

James Perse t-shirts.

[R6] Buy all my Brionis from ebay. Some brand-new; others worn one or two times but in excellent condition. Huge savings when they are new and used too. Brought a jacket with a missing button into the Brioni flagship store on Madison to have it replaced and the manager was tres snob that I had bought the jacket from ebay and he begrudgingly sent the jacket down the street to the tailor shop. They don't want to be undersold. Brioni shirts, suits, pants and jackets - all gorgeous!

I like Pendleton for casual things.

Save Khaki for casual cotton (made in CA):

I don’t think Harry and William have ever worn anything off the rack in their lives unless it’s for a photo op showing how “relatable they are”. They have everything custom made. I don’t think those two know HOW to shop.

Well, they wear jeans off the rack and Harry's ass looks particularly nice in them.

Pendleton is now mostly made in China. The fabric is still woven in Oregon, but they send it overseas. Same with a lot of US and UK heritage brands.

R22 Have they all been authentic? You were never duped by a black market knockoff? You should try The Real Real. It's new or lightly worn (mostly) high-end brands that have been authenticated.

[28]: Bring them in for alterations to one of the best tailors in NYC; they are not knockoffs. Tailor knows quality clothing. Many have Neiman Marcus labels. Some are a few years old, but so what?

Shoes and clothes factories are moving out of China to SE Asia and Africa. Even the Chinese don't want these shitty jobs anymore.

[quote]Haven't heard of 90%+ of those Made in USA brands and I can only imagine what the clothes look like and how poor the quality is.

No, you're wrong. Some of them may be hick country brands but there's a major trend toward local, artisan brands in this country that are dedicated to very high quality and products that last. Just picking one at random (I swear I'd never heard of them before): look at Raleigh Jeans. (They're also not cheap.)

[quote] the manager was tres snob

R22, fuck that guy. He works in a shop. Fucking shop bottom.

I hate snobbish shop bottoms.

A lot of pieces labeled "made in Italy" are really only finished in Italy. Often by Chinese in Italy.

Given that, OP, I think what you need to do is ask the shop bottom if the item was touched only by Europeans 😂

Because that's what matters, right?

R29 Maybe I'll start perusing Ebay...hope we're not the same size. Those clothes are mine! Ha-ha.

People with septum piercings. I view them as being delusional and animalistic.

Clothes are all complete cheap garbage now. Even the classic brands have all gone downhill. I want to make my own clothes and dress like a primitive human. Not sure that will go over well at work.

Magee Irish tweed---better mens stores have it; J Press usually has a few pieces. You can order it from Ireland.

So to express this bizarre view, you resuscitated a two-year-old thread that has nothing to do with what you're saying?

R33 The racism in that article is quite something. Bravo NYTimes!

I make only $60k a year but I only consume products made in 1st world countries. I drive a BMW, purchase clothes, accessories and shoes only from brand names such as Dolce, Versace, Prada, Louis Vuitton, etc. However, to offer this luxury lifestyle, I have been living in a filthy basement of a chinese landlord to whom I pay only $500/month that includes electricity, water and wifi. Life is good. Everyone thinks I’m very well to do.

All of the movies Lynch did after Wild at Heart are his best because they don't follow Hollywood conventional plots. This is a big reason I don't think I will ever see Blue Velvet as a great movie. Lynch does not do conventional plots well and this is totally apparent in Blue Velvet. Sandy finds out Jeff is sleeping with Dorothy and then slaps him hard. Yet the very next scene is of her crying on the phone, saying "I LOVE you, Jeffrey!".

Oxxford - prepare to shell out.

There are good local shops in London, Vienna, and all over Italy. Paris, I'm not sure, but I would hope you could get some French made trousers at Lanvin.

Try R. Derwin. I have an excellent cotton button-down shirt from them, it’s “made in New England”.

R18, he was fine until he attempted to make his two talentless children into stars.

[quote] and wears cowboy boots

So manly.

Some higher-end denim (selvage denim in particular) is made in the US.

Here is a shocker to many of you, a lot garment factories in Italy, France, Spain...are owned by Chinese, not only they produce certain "European" brands that target Asian markets, they also make clothes for other well known brands, so when you buy a shirt that made in Europe, and think it worth the price. Maybe it's because you are willing to pay more here, it's not really about where it was made,

Motorcycle jacket brands made in the US include Vanson, Langlitz, Johnson Leathers (SF), etc.

Wesco boots are US-made too. For those who are into that sort of thing.

Most of the European factories use Asian and Eastern European workers, some factories are owned by Asians. Not sure if that’s a dealbreaker for some? I know some people who try to buy from brands that pay workers a living wage and have good working conditions which will attract native workers and it’s a short list. I don’t have the money to do that but I have stopped buying “fast fashion”. I have a dozen T-shirts I really don’t need a $3.99 one. Same with food. I have groceries at home, I don’t need to stop for a $2 artery blocker but life is boring and it’s easy to shop and eat because it’s there and it’s cheap and you get a little buzz from consuming. I have bought belts, a wallet, a weekend bag and a dinner plates from local artists at a reasonable price.

Japanese made stuff is great.

Schotts is really good!! Union made! Made in usa! I own a few leather jackets and they are good quality.

Many lux brands have sub lines that are made in china now. Very sad

You say 'bravo' to 'racism?

Check GQ for USA menswear brands. I have included a link. A guy I work with who is tall and gorgeous and from the Midwest and I noticed he wears Filson it’s understated and high quality.

Actually the Made in Italy brand has been exploited by the Chinese who set up manufacturing in Italy to make their cheap products seem higher quality. That’s why covid took off in northern Italy 🇮🇹 there are direct flights from Milan to China 🇨🇳 They bring in Chinese workers for the Chinese factories and house them in dorms etc. so not much economic benefit to Italy and a downgrade of their standards for fashion made in Italy which used to be an indicator of quality and commanded a price premium.

Magee Irish Tweed. You can buy direct from them.

Boss used to make suits in the US, they bought Joseph & Feiss in Cleveland in produced them in their facilities until the 2000s.

Rowing Blazers. You can buy Diana's sheep sweater.

Turnbull & Asser.

per wiki---Turnbull & Asser is a gentleman's bespoke shirtmaker established in 1885. The company has its flagship store on Jermyn Street, St James's, as well as its bespoke store around the corner on Bury Street. In addition to the two London stores, they also have a further store the Turnbull Townhouse located in New York.

The fashion house has dressed figures such as Prince Charles, Sir Winston Churchill[1], Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Charlie Chaplin, Sir Laurence Olivier, Lauren Bacall and Pablo Picasso. It is notably famous for its work in film, providing shirts and ties for the James Bond films Dr. No, The World Is Not Enough and Casino Royale, 1974's The Great Gatsby and more recently, Kingsman and its sequel, Kingsman II: The Golden Circle[2]. Although predominantly a men's clothier, it also specialises in ladies pyjamas (as seen on Sophia Loren in A Countess from Hong Kong[3]) as well as bespoke shirts. All of its shirts, accessories and clothing is made in England.[4]

Here's your answer, OP. You never have to buy foreign made clothing again.

Answer me this - what was the purpose of the leisure suit. Was it for athletic activity or called leisure as opposed to work?

R56 High quality "Made in Italy" is alive an well. The top luxury Italian brands still make clothes that are among the finest in the world. Of course there are Chinese work rooms that make "fast fashion" just as there are in France and the UK etc.. And as for that list of clothing made in the USA, you honestly think they're are no Chinese sweat shops working within the US?

[quote] Chinese sweat shops

They are everywhere, They sprout up every week.

We don't see them because they're in places we choose to avoid. They're hidden to avoid taxes and council rates. The staff sleep on-site, ten to a room.

[quote] Brioni

Trump wears Brioni. Don't you dare.

Savile Row

If you are into hiking and the outdoors Bradley Mountain makes great jackets and gear in San Diego and of course online. I got a waxed jacket last year that was worth every cent. They also make leather goods but I haven't sprung for a new weekend bag yet.
