Brands that aren't chavvy in the slightest.

Rushmore said:

Food:
Venison
(thin) Pizza when in Italy and in a rural location the true home of pizza is urban Naples
Wild boar

Drink:
Vin de pays of all sorts
all 2nd wines from the Premier Crus (i.e. Pavillon Rouge)Too safe, dull and overpriced. Burgundy is the lodestar.
German Riesling ice wine instead of Sauternes Eiswein is a nouveau product. Auslese-upwards Pradikat wines are the unimpeachable quality standard, particularly the auction wines.
Tap water instead of Swedish imported bottled water That's just inverse snobbery (much like the 80s Volvo thing). Yorkshire tap water is good. London tap water tastes dreadful.

Life:
Buck's Club and Pratt's Really?
Rules Restaurant Dreadful place
The Beau-Rivage Hotel Assuming you mean the Beau Rivage Place in Lausanne, I agree.

Hate to say it Zod but your response to Rushmore's effort does make you come across as a total pompous tool

Isn't that the whole point of this thread? I engaged with Rushmore's pompous post in an equally, if not more, pompous manner.

Don't call wine from Bourgogne "Burgundy" then !

[Charlie Michael]

Longines.

I'm not taking that from a Fulhamite. You probably wear red cords, a polo with the collar up and drink at the White Horse while braying "Yah" at your mates.

Classic yachts are very classless.

That's a pretty good call actually.

Isn't anything 'classic' (in the old sense) the very antithesis of that which the chav might find appealing? A brand new Rolex, for example, is a bit chavvy, whereas a battered 30-year old Datejust is pretty cool.

Coutts

Coutts are part of RBS....that's got to be a bad thing...your money might rub alongside that of those commoners who bank at Natwest

Loads of prem footballers bank with Coutts. These days Coutts customers are largely new money. Plus the Queen.

Can't get much more chavvy than Liz, just look at all that bling she wears!

Not to mention the family in all the magazines, I rescind my nomination forthwith

True, but I think the classic yachts is a particularly good example as they require so much hard and careful painstaking work just to keep them in trim and everything shipshape.

Maybe it shows my bias but I'd always thought chavs and hard dedicated accurate effort didn't mix.

Watches:

IWC, Universal Geneve, Patek Philippe, Vacheron-Canstantin, Jaeger Le Coultre, Breguet

Longines should be added to that list.

Sorry, just noticed Charlie Michael has already mentioned them!

I think not. Brietling have become massively chavvy.

Lodestone?

Lodestar = guiding light.

Yeesss.

Lodestone = focus of attraction.

The pre-facelift 156 is a favoured chav-chariot.

Different meanings, but both work really.

[VoziKaoFangio]

Ever noticed how it's really things that are over-advertised and/or (over)promoted by celebrities that become the real chav brands?

Just about everything quoted on here as non-chav is barely advertised, if at all.

Probably as it is stems from the saying 'Money talks but wealth whispers'.

I'd argue that wealth doesn't actually mean vast amounts of money but a wealth of class, knowledge and an appreciation for the truly fine things in life that bling can never achieve.
