When in Palermo, visit Mercer if only just to see the shop - the huge space is decked out like some bizarre Jules Verne/circus extravaganza and the clothes are pretty nifty too.
Personally I wasn't too fussed by Felix, but the slightly smarter clobber in Bolivia, El Cid and Antique Demin definitely got my wallet's vote.
Mercer, Bolivia, El Cid and Antique Denim are all in Palermo, on or around Gurruchaga
