Seriously top notch stuff. Yes, you can absolutely tell the difference between something from Terry and something from Exte Ondo. Whether or not that difference is worth the cash to you is a personal choice. To some people, it matters. To others, not so much. Everyone has different priorities.

I have a pair of winter capri cycling bottoms from Exte Ondo (bought from another TE member) and they are fantastic. So much so that I considered paying full price for a summer weight bottom. Beautiful fit, beautiful fabrication, beautiful construction and I happen to really like the look of the Exte Ondo style.

I will admit that after 3 years working for Polo Ralph Lauren, I developed an unnatural attraction to very high quality apparel. Once you've worn clothing (and shoes) like that on a day in and day out basis, nothing else but high quality will do. It's a curse, really. I WISH I could be satisfied with Old Navy or Target stuff...I really do.
