I spend an awful lot on clothes, even from my own perspective. I am not concerned with price as long as I like something and it has value which can either be lasting or ephemeral. I take care of my things and they last a long time, plus im quite clean so my things dont degrade, so price is relative. However, Im not looking to throw money away on someone purposefully overcharging, and there is a price limit. That said, I have my favorites and I stick with them. However, i am open to new ideas, mainly in accesories/furnishings. I might try some siviglia shirts (forgive me Adam!) and I like the Marinella ties. Im going to try one of those Mario Talirico umbrellas Marc linked but I wished theyd heard of black fabric.



Which may be why I like the Neopolitan aesthetic, from necessity they have combined old money restraint with an tactile love of beauty and made every single inch of what they wear interesting and elegant. All with a mediterranean sense of sociability. A very good blend.

A silk canopy for an umbrella makes for a lovely sound when the raindrops hit it.
