MilanoStyle - I have to say that's quite an interesting mix of tastes here... The casual stuff (Holister, R&R) is a big contrast to your taste in tailored clothes (Isaia, Borrelli).

Business in the front, party (beach boy) in the back?

Yeah, I agree. I love Holister T-shirts and Polos. The cotton feels pretty good for the price and they're are cut almost PERFECTLY for my torso. I get the looks from girls more when I put on $20 holister items than more expansive casual items that I own.

I've really liked Barba since buying my first samples in Venice in 1996...and I prefer them to the other RTW Italian brands.
