The Apparel brands I found best with reasonable experience are,
Lee Jeans: Whether it's CEO or a worker, this pair of jeans is admired by all. In India, Arvind manufactures and sells and the quality is very good. The fitting is just right, Chicago is normal comfort straight fit and fits most bodies comfortably. Best place to buy is at Lee stores during sales, avoid Megamarts, sometimes defective/wrong size/rejected fabric jeans are sold. Lee according to me is the most comfortable jeans ever.
Peter England: The value for money brand from Madura Coats, PE shirts are economical and quality formal shirts. Solid colored shirts are very durable and lasts really long. Buy 2 Get 3 is standard sale format during festive/Off seasons. At about Rs.350/- these shirts are worth buying, fits well, very easy to iron and anti-crease properties are very good and importantly lasts long.
Blackberrys: I have two blackberry formal trousers since four years and are still in great condition, the fabric is of great quality, fitting is quite comfortable and very easy to iron. Blackberry shirts are also very good, especially fabric quality.
Wills: WoW, ITC is capable of doing anything under the sun! I would rate Wills products better than Van-Heusen and Arrow(ofcourse not brand). The quality of Wills apparels are very high and lasts really long. Don't be surprised if Wills beats world brands in long run. I have one Wills Sports Shirt and I'm using since 4 years, and it's my fav. shirt in the wardrobe. I am most comfortable in Wills sports shirt. The best time to buy is during sales. One can get Wills Shirts for about Rs.700 to Rs.1000/- I recommend very strongly to try Wills once(especially formal Cottons/Linen shirts). T's are also very good buy.
Proline: For casual, out door and sports, this brand of apparels is very good. T's are of very good quality and will not loose it's original quality for long time(even 5 years). Sportswear is also very durable and costs less than 1/2 of brands like Addidas/Puma/Nike. Best place to buy is Proline Factory outlet on Bannerghatta rd, Brand factory.While buying in sales/offers kindly ensure the fabric is in good condition, TRY them without fail.
