Does anyone think we'll be able to get the 20% off on the EGs tomorrow with the 15% off discount before noon? Does BB still do that? If not, I might just grab them on-line today.

Damn slickdeals... this is why we can't have nice things.


i haven't looked at the slickdeals thread... but here's my guess at the discussion

"zomg brooks brothers 60% off online nao!" HOT DEAL!!!!
"you noob, it's actually 40% then 20%, making it a total of 52% off"
"not to mention you have to buy FOUR shirts to get the discount"
"anyone have a coupon code? PM me"
"you don't need a coupon"
"don't forget the cashback"
... (after the initial frenzy of people checking out the goods on the BB site ... resulting in the crash)
"over $40 per shirt even with discount? i haven't paid more than $10 for a shirt in 10 years"
"wtf is this... the shirts aren't free after rebate? not a hot deal"

Managed to score two Fitz suits just after midnight beofre the site went down at about 12:30, but after looking at my order this morning, the 20% wasn't added, even though it was showing at checkout (my invoice shows a 2% discount...?). Anyone have any experience with talking to customer service to get this kind of thing corrected, or should I just reorder and cancel the initial order (assuming my size is still available)?

Merry Christmas!


Definitely give CS a call.

haha very close. It turned into an express vs BB shirt discussion, then people complaining about not getting free shipping, and then complaining about not being able to stack the $10 off $50 code when your register an account.

I picked up the Peal & Co Tweed/Leather boots in brown. I got 40% off total after the additional 20% off.

Maybe this is me just freaking out, but does anyone not have their order showing up in their account? I can't find it anywhere, even on my Brooks Card account, which I used to pay it. I KNOW I submitted the payment. I remember seeing the confirmation page.

Post pics when you get them. I have been curious about seeing those in the wild. I ended up picking up the gator penny loafers for $842 and will have to compare them with the ostrich loafers that I got from Mr. Porter and keep only one. I can only keep one loud set of loafers.

I ordered four slim-fit OCBDs in four different colors and received the 40+20% discount.
How did you do that? When I tried adding them I didn't get the additional 20%. I went in and purchased 2 OCBD in white and then back again for 2 in blue OCBD.

I got an e-mail with the subject, "Your Brooks Brothers Order has been Recieved".

BB website is run by hamsters.
I managed to order 4 different colors of one style and get the 40+20% but when I tried the same thing with a different style it didn't work.

Thanks. That's what I thought always happens. CS is closed until tomorrow morning. I just submitted a new order, and I'll just cancel one of them if it shows up.

Yeah, unfortunately those aren't the kind of technical issues that a major clothing company should be having. As a software engineer, I can't imagine
how a reputable company wouldn't have a solid technical team that's addresses these e-commerce issues. It's kinda sad.

Is there a grey version of the herringbone Harris Tweed jacket in the US? It doesn't show on the website, but I know for a fact they have it in Japan this year, because I've tried it on. Not a fan of the "gold" color, nor of the price that the color I do like is being offered at over here.
Apart from that, the only thing that really strikes my fancy is the Peal wingtip (still made by Alfred Sargent?) in brown. I was hoping for a 30% discount or higher so I could get them at half-price with the Christmas & Boxing Day 20%, but they're only 25% off. Still not a bad deal for the quality, but not quite as awesome as the sub-$250 I got my suede semi-brogues at last year. Anybody know if these go on seasonal clearance?


I copped a pair of the punched cap toe in brown. I would have gone for the suede but those weren't on sale. Seems like the wells been a little dry for a while on their shoes. Earlier in the year they had some nice AS 2-eye derbys that I missed out on (the size I ordered was too small and there was noting else in stock).
