When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale? - Page 163
yup its easy for me to blow really easy. I know my measure specilist and he knows how I like to wear my clothes. I dare not test waters with others becuase they will just fck it up and to start over with them its annoying. I walk in and pick my fabric out and I walk out after paying 50% up front and when I get it I know how it fits and thats that......
I can experiemtn over and over with others, but that costs time and to me time is money.....I have established myself with him and brookes and im happy......
As you get older son you will understand the importance of customer service, how to build up a relationship with people, and understand time is money.....
How low do these go after Christmas? And 240 last fits TTS?

Thanks, maybe there will come a day when we are standing side by side at the BB register where you are paying $130 for your BB non-iron shirt and I am paying $50 for the exact same shirt. Would love to hear more from you on the value of time and money. ![]()
In all seriousness, if you're happy . . you're happy, but there really are better options out there for your $130 per shirt if you want MTM. Fear of the unknown should not dissuade you from branching out and experimenting.

I can see the appeal of a $130 MTM BB shirt if it fits him well. To get the same fit off the rack he'd probably have to spend $25 with an alterationist, plus the time and hassle of making two visits to drop off and pick up. Assuming he's paying retail (yeah I know, big assumption), $80 + 25 = $105. So BB MTM is costing him an extra $25, not that big of a deal.
Trying out a new MTM service always takes a couple tries to get it right. Depending on their policy, at best it'll take you a couple of weeks/months and fittings to get a shirt, and at worst you're stuck paying for a couple of useless shirts that don't fit you. I finally found a MTM place that got my measurements down well and it would take a lot to get me to switch because it's such an ordeal.
That being said, I don't think BB would be my first choice for MTM if I was just starting out.
