Guess this would be the "more" in "Wallets and MORE!"

Couldn't find this on the dnrnews.com website (only last year's), so I'm typing all of this out....yes, I am officially bored

The Luxury Institute recently released its newest annual study on the favorite luxury men's fashion brands in America's high rollers. Each label's Luxury Brand Status Index (LBSI) was determined via a survey of 803 wealthy males and based on average responses on a 1-10 scale. Criteria included quality, uniqueness, willingness to pay the big bucks and likelihood they'd recommend the brand to other financially contented pals.

1. Ermenegildo Zegna LBSI: 7.93

Highlights: fans of EZ report an average net worth of $5 million + (

); "the best knits in the world" and "great suits and dress clothes"; most familiarity with men under 45 (where are these men under 45 with a $5 mill net worth?

)

2. Giorgio Armani LBSI: 7.67

Highlights: strength lies in its uniqueness and exclusivity; "beloved icon"; uniqueness of the look and style, cut, quality, and craftsmanship most appealing aspects

3. Brioni LBSI: 7.52

Highlights: #1 in 2007; older men see Brioni as the "pinnacle"; second highest score for price worthiness

4. Dolce & Gabbana LBSI: 7.46

Highlights: a "well-respected upscale brand"; men drawn to the price worthiness and exclusivity

5. Salvatore Ferragamo LBSI: 7.42

Highlights: "unsurpassable quality and style"; its roots in shoes and leather is probably what gives the brand a high rating vs. the apparel; most favorable with men over 55 and with $5 million + net worths

7. Burberry LBSI: 7.35

Highlights: scored highest in consistent superior quality; "excellent fabrics, good service and fine custom tailoring"

Highlights: also impressed in the consistent superior quality category; "cutting edge"; "very modern"; most familiar with the youngest group of respondents (under 45)
