Welcome to Styleforum. Please be more specific in your question. Brooks Brothers, as compared to what other brands specifically and for what?

Decent quality for the price (when on sale). I've picked up MTM 1818 suits for 800 and Allen Edmonds for BB for 200. I probably would not have paid full prices.

Canali makes some fairly soft-shouldered coats and some pretty square-shouldered ones too (at least in past seasons). Canali is of considerably higher quality IMO than 1818. Golden Fleece/Black Fleece quality is good, but I don't like the cuts or padding of the shoulder. I haven't tried BB's "natrual craftsmanship line," so can't speak to that.
