Brooks Brothers Announcement? - Page 2

They'll expand Golden Fleece logoed stuff, and introduce a new line of Big Fleece logo "polo" shirts, with oversized embroidered Golden Fleece logos.
Del Vecchio pledges a "huge presence at Pitti Uomo" next year, issuing cell phones to all BB reps and with swag bags even now being assembled in Malaysia full of Brooks Brother breath mints, Golden Fleece cigarettes, and co-branded Wurkin Stiffs collar stays.
A special diffusion line, "Brooks Brothers Straight To Gilt Groupe," is also in the works, featuring comfortable yet vibrant t-shirts, shorts, Brocs (a rubber clog), and wrist BBeads made from melted non-iron shirts.

SpooPoker - the problem with your post is some here might actually take it seriously. Yesterday in our downtown BB I mentioned the "rumor" to several. One associate said he was not aware of any discontinuations of a major line and should know about it first. Store manager more non-committal but really didn't seem to be aware of it. Acknowledged, of course, that they've gotten far more slim-fit shirts and the more extreme version, and their current shirts on sale are almost all of these types.
