My favorite brands right now are Helly Hansen jackets, Polo terry cloth shirts and Johnnie-O swim trunks and shirts . I bought an $89 pair of Johnnie-O swim trunks New With Tags for $25. It has a great search engine that you enter your own size and brands and it populates it with that stuff and you can save a ton of money.
