How do you determine whether the price of an item is worth it?

Similarly, do you have an annual budget for clothing? If so, how do you think about that?

Menswear is mostly fractured/more niche community led now vs years ago where a small number of brands led the way IMO, but if you had to choose a handful of brands setting the zeitgeist in 2023 and beyond, who would be your picks and why?

Any advice for how to add color to my wardrobe? I’ve a wardrobe that comprises largely of black, white, grey, and some earth tones. I’d like to add pieces that are a little louder, but I’ve been told in the past (by my wife) that when I do it generally looks like a unicorn threw up on me. Any ideas on how to incorporate color would be amazing

Thanks for doing this.

I'm looking to shift my pants style away from slim-fitting to something that's a little more loose-fitting and slightly tapered towards the legs. I was looking at some Stan Rays but inventory is low for my size. Any suggestions for other brands to check out for this fit and how to pull this off?

Loved that you enjoyed your trip to Montreal! Top 3 brands or stores you went/saw (a part form Ostrya)?

Appreciate you doing this.

Lost my Barbour after 8 years of wearing it in to develop a beautiful patina and broken-in look (I'm heartbroken). Where do I go from here? Start the process all over again? Buy a vintage one?

Are you concerned with having too much stuff? How do you edit and cull the herd of your wardrobe, so to speak? I find as I get older I want fewer pieces but more quality...but I’m not great at the editing part so items that I can’t bring myself to get rid of just sit in my closet.
