What are some of your favorites? I know we have people from all over the world here so some of the brands may vary. For me, I love James Perse. Almost anything from JP I am into. I have about 20 pieces of clothing from JP from t-shirts, they have some great ones, to polo shirts and some pants. Never bought anything full price, but have bought many of the items brand new.
Let me know some of your favorites. Feel free to name the brand and they type of clothing you like from them. This can be from budget items to high end ones.

They have a few different fits, some with a more classic American fit.

Only problem with them is that their stock goes out within days so you need to be fast.
Tough question. Patagonia, canali and zegna come to mind for me
Great choices! I’ve really gotten into Rag & Bone. I know they are now a Bond brand, but they have amazing items!

I've got a few, most prominent is probably Reis and Belstaff, I know Moneypenny wore a Belstaff in Skyfall but that doesn't make it a Bond brand does it ? Anyway, I've had a Belstaff trialmaster since about 2008, bases on the Will Smith I am legend jacket, also had a mix rubberised jacket for many years too. Recently added a lot more jackets and knitwear items too. Reis is my go to Smart casual retailer, and I mix it up with Rag and Bone, scotch and soda along with the bond brands and some budget stuff too.
I have never tried Scotch and Soda. I did just get a pair of Allsaints jeans. Can't wait to have them tailored and wear them.

Id say 80% of my jeans are scotch and soda, I really like them, I also have a few other bits, t shirts, cardigans of theirs too. I have some all saints cords and I like their Henley's 👌
Would you say that S&S is similar to R&B? To my knowledge, I don't think I have ever seen any S&S items in person.

Belstaff (and Matchless, but we are talking NON-Bond brand) for the daily and outerwear.
For outdoors I stick with Arc'teryx and Triple Aught Design
Personally I think R&B are better than S&S - even though I have more S&S clothing…but that’s mainly due to the fact that it’s easier to get S&S clothing in the UK...my fave brand of jeans has to be PRPS though 🍸
I think Valstar do some very nice suede jackets. I own one and the quality is amazing but they are very expensive, around £900-1,100. I could definitely see Bond wearing one of their jackets. Thye have even done a polo shirt similar in style to the Tom Ford one, around the same price point of £500!!
Pretty much the same as me. I love the Matchless Craig and Osborne jackets. Got a fair few belstaff with favorite being a brown 'tanker' jacket from last years collection. Triple Aught Design do some great stuff and most of my casual trousers/jeans come from them. Their travel bag is also the best piece of luggage I have ever purchased. I bought the Bennet Winch SC holdall and but it will be hard to not use the TAD transport case
James Perse for casual t-shirts. Orvis has some great sweaters and tweed pieces.
I have about 10-12 James Perse t-shirts. A couple pair of shorts too. Love it all.

DIdn't want to start a new thread and I figure someone in here might have an idea. I got an Isaia tuxedo in dark blue (not quite midnight but I like it anyway) and the lapel facing is grosgrain blue. What bow tie should I wear? My black grosgrain? Or do I need to find a dark blue grosgrain tie?

Sorry my friend. Just seeing this. Did you find something that worked for you?

I did - I went with a navy grosgrain. $20 from Tie Bar. Why not.
