I was just telling my wife that as a kid I remember reading a short story that featured a wealthy man who wore Brooks Brother's clothing. For some reason, that story kept me believing that BB's items were of the highest quality, but out of my fiscal means. Glad to see that has been dispelled somewhat.
Quite right Joshua. Brooks Brothers certainly do produce quality made shirts at reasonable, 'get what you pay for' prices. I do not mind saving a little money here and there, then purchasing the quality, well made shirts that, if well taken care of, will and should last a lifetime. Presently, in accordance with my budget, style, fashion sense, and preferences, I only puchase and wear shirts (both day, evening, and formal) from either House of Bruar or Brooks Brothers. Simply my taste and preference.
