The top tier cost ridiculous amounts tho. damn near not even worth the money really.

Been looking at House of Bruar, what is their customer service like? Product review?
Been looking at their overcoats.

What Reddit thread you steal this from?

This is true especially if you buy at full retail price

They are one of the more reputable Scottish wool brands around, for the price, they offer great value

They have a boxier/looser fit though, especially around the arms so something to keep in mind

Never had to deal with their customer service beyond my order being delivered on time

J. Crew isn’t bad in terms of good quality, not too expensive work clothes.

I agree. They are in entry level category

I would consider spending up for Johnstons of Elgin.

I'm never going to Loro Piana territory.

I have a couple of pieces from Asket. They're very environmentally conscious and their stuff is solid quality. But their fits are pretty tight. But oddly enough, sometimes quite broad at the shoulders. Even with their great sizing system.

I don't have their cashmere crewneck but I do have their wool crewneck and honestly I didn't find the quality of that sweater to be any better than Banana Republic.

If it fits you, their coats/shirt jackets are really dope tho.

You're not wrong but cashmere is a fire feel and look.

I've got a bunch from Quince and always get compliments when I rock.

But yeah, I'm not paying for the good ish, that's crazy priced.

All I know is moths will destroy your shyt. Had a Ralph laurel cashmere that I pulled out for a date night with the old lady a few years back. Put the thing on and there was a hole large enough to see my navel. Never again.
