    Brooks Brothers eBay Factory Store

    Thanks for the replies.... At $35 I would have gotten several, but when I tried to order by telephone yesterday they told me: 1. The sale had ended 2. The 40% off was only if you bought IN the store; no 40% for phone orders. At 3 for $159, I think I'll wait until the retail stores run a sale...

    Brooks Brothers eBay Factory Store

    Is there really any difference between the 100% cotton non-iron shirts that are sold in the outlet stores and those being sold in the retail stores? I phoned the outlet store in Hershey, PA. and the saleswoman with whom I spoke told me that the shirts they sell are identical to those being sold...

    That inside button on DB jackets?!? :crazy:

    I believe that this button IS supposed to be buttoned, and the purpose is to make sure that the overlapped section of the jacket stays in place. Of course no one is going to throw you in prison if you insist on not buttoning this button. Then again you needn't button ANY buttons if you so...

    Suit identification - a true storey ....

    Just very recently a very good friend of mine got married to a very good mutual friend's widow. This past Sabbath I went over to greet him and wish him a "Mazel Tov" and I noticed that he was wearing a really nice looking suit. I mentioned this to him and he told me that our deceased friend's...

    Palasso???

    They are so so .... I purchased one about two years ago from the Wizard of Ahhs . Although the tailoring is really quite nice, I don't believe these suits are canvased; at least the one I purchased doesn't seem to be. The fabric is nice but not superior; doesn't hold a real crisp fold on the...

    WTB: Solid Navy 44l Suit

    Hi, Have you tried looking in eBay? I am a true 44L, and I have seen over the course of time many offerings of solid navy suits. However, most come with a 37-38 waist and I have seen some 36, but rarely 34. Here is one I searched for you...

    Took a chance ... what do you think ?

    Hi guys, I "pulled the trigger" on the following suit I saw on eBay and figured that if I could get it at the initial price I couldn't go too wrong. I have been looking for a DB and I like pinstripe suits. The seller told me that the condition is excellent; that there are no tears or pulls or...

    How old is this suit ??

    Hi guys, I am looking at a Soutwick suit on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...4530&rd=1&rd=1 Can anyone make an educated guess at how old this suit may be based on what appears to me to be quite wide lapels? Thanks in advance.... Cheers, Chaim

    Is this suit over the top for a conservative workplace?

    First suit might be appropriate if one of your customers is from the mafia . Otherwise I would go with the second suit. Looks to be absolutely stunning! Cheers, Chaim

    Medical student searching for shoes..need help!

    I agree with the recommendation for SAS. I would personally recommend SUPREMES. They are VERY similar to SAS both style wise and comfort wise. Actually, someone told me that they are made by the same manufacturer and that the name is a regional issue; SAS being marketed on the east coast and...

    Has anyone purchased a watch from Genuine Time Pieces?

    Hi guys, I'm curious as to what exactly the scam is? I took a look at the site, and the prices are not what I would consider rock bottom. He has a tremendous selection, and there are brands offered which I doubt very highly if anyone is going to counterfeit. Waiting to be enlightened...

    Does anyone keep their tie knotted ??

    Hi, On the contrary! I do care about my appearance, and yes I do use only a pratt knot, and I only do this when I have gotten an exceptionally nice looking knot (IMO) and only until the knot still appears to be exceptionsl. The moment I feel the knot has lost its superior appearance due to...

    Does anyone keep their tie knotted ??

    Hi guys, Perhaps this question will raise some eyebrows, but here goes: When I have knotted a tie and the knot has come out just as I wished, I will not unknot it when I take it off to hang in the closet, but rather I will leave it knoted. True, eventually the knot will lose some of its shape...

    Which is going to be softer ?

    Hi guys, All of my suits are fused as none of them are in the price range of canvased suits. I probably have never recently seen a canvased suit since the store from which I purchased most of my suits over the more recent years didn't sell any of the brands which are known to be canvased. The...
