Looks like we’re not done with the trend of everything two sizes too small yet. Since Brooks now owns Southwick, the possibilities are endless. He calls the shops a “great showcase” for the brand. Who, then, is buying clothing from J. Check the Historic Images category. What hasn’t changed are the people who work in Brooks Brothers. And I like what I consider elegant & graceful, sometimes witty & whimsical, and always suitable to me. One additional factor at play is that it is much harder for a tailor/manufacturer to make a jacket with natural shoulders that fits well and looks good as a piece of tailoring. “Many of the decisions we make are with that in mind as well,” he said. Press if all of their trad/ivy mid-century customers’ original J.Press/BB clothing circa mid 20th century still wears like new? I've worn it for countless concerts but it has held up great and still looks clean. That's true of Red Fleece, but debateable for BB in general. Our only hope: that the Kamakura Shirts folks decide enough is enough and apply their Ivy Know-How (IKH) to tweed jackets (Scottish weavers, please) and blazers. One is in Haverhill, Mass., which makes men’s suits, sport coats and trousers, and has produced clothes for the designer Todd Snyder and uniforms for United Airlines. I do not understand what Brooks Brothers is doing with Red Fleece. Golly. Mr. Castleberry seems alright to me, his style isn’t really mine, but then again most people’s isn’t, so their you have it. @ Minimalist Trad: totally agreed on your Black Fleece comment. Its popular Flatiron location recently added a downstairs cafe, now a hangout for the tech workers in the neighborhood. With American retailers shaken right after Sept. 11, Mr. Del Vecchio was able to swoop in and grab Brooks Brothers for $225 million, less than a third of what M & S had paid 13 years earlier. Most of this stuff I wouldn’t wear even if I were given it for free. I’ve always wondered what exactly are most of you going into J.Press and BB to buy when one is wont to hear how great all of your old J.Press/BB clothing still is/ how much better it is than what’s in the store now. Not a first suit but each suit I own tends to get worn only 2-4 times a year, so also not in need of a daily driver. Among Mr. Del Vecchio’s first acts as owner was to read a stack of angry letters from Brooks Brothers loyalists who griped about how the merchandise quality had fallen under the previous owner, the British retailer Marks & Spencer. I was responding to Fred’s attempt at sarcastic patronizing. I can personally say the jackets run a full size small (I am a 40R but have to size up to a 42R in Red Fleece). getting rid of its entire top management team, finally pulled the plug on that effort in March. Hip. (Mr. Browne, famous for his tightfitting men’s suits, helped steer Brooks Brothers toward slimmer silhouettes, said Lou Amendola, the store’s chief merchandising officer. It takes a real man to wear a short-sleeve, button-down, fun shirt with a pink pocket. @ George, Those who judge are always the one’s who won’t be judged without slinging silly, smarmy, exhausting uselessness. One does get the sense that something personal has transpired between these “litigants” behind the scenes, the facts of which are unknown to the rest of us. He just acts like one. It’s quite adorable. (Staff members jokingly called their store “Banana Brothers.”). Thing is, they’re capable of making a great looking jacket (and suit) at a reasonable price point. pen something like, “….respect for heritage” and then pair it with a photo of a Fred Castleberry twin wearing salmon shoes, skin tight, rolled wheat jean-ish pants, a high school varsity jacket and a bow tie? The lasts are a little sleeker and more contemporary, but I admit I also find the styles to be a … I guess I’m willing to settle for the fact that while it doesn’t necessarily mean better wages/working conditions, it means higher accountability for those wages and working conditions. Neat-o! I lob the occasional one-liner water balloon at WASP 101. I’ve been reading your blog for years – the comments (and even the topics/posts) repeat themselves in droves (including regular, repetitive, individual diatribes against Richard {Mr. WASP 101}). It sounds to me that CC is courting Fred for advertising. Fred is a phony and his taste is odious. I’m not all that bothered by it though in the end. @MRS – You’re right, but the problem with this collection isn’t the cut of the clothes, it’s the styling. Some of these garments fall into the Clown category. A great looking shoulder, shaping/tracing withOUT front darts, and medium to long lines that make any gent look, well, better. @ E…..You answer your own question…..Chipp products were novelty items worn tongue in cheek. And Christian, please tell me you didn’t actually pay for that popover. Have at it. Perhaps their irreverent ties weren’t experimental afterall. But, who knows. Jeez, AEV give it a rest. Some of us appreciate our favorite clothing houses not wanting us to look like a “factory produced 50’s librarian.” And we’re not old enough yet to think that “all things boring” and refined equal “taste.” Let the youth own our youth! A lot of early-Aughts American Eagle/Abercrombie & Fitch vibes here. It employs 550 workers, up from 300 in 2008. We hear about the return of Own Make for fall of 2013. Its ties, for example, are manufactured at a factory in Long Island City, with a label embroidered with an American flag and the words “Brooks Brothers.
