    The New Brooks Brothers

    BB's U.S. factories were closed down as part of the bankruptcy and sale. Eastern Real Estate purchased Southwick, but has not disclosed any plans for the factory, equipment, and former employees.

    When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale?

    As of 2018, Milano shirts do not have back pleats, despite what is shown on BB's website. They fit slimmer than Red Fleece on me.

    When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale?

    Shipping is free if the item is ordered in store by your SA. The SAs at the BB stores actually prefer this since the store gets credited for the order.

    I'd also consider the Flatiron. This should give you additional variety in shoe styles.

    The Uniqlo Thread

    Look for the 6-digit SKU on the care tag (or price tag if you are in the store). SKU 153320 is the fall/winter 2015 version that fit looser than previous OCBDs. There is a new SKU 164167 for spring/summer 2016 which does not have the grosgrain band underneath the collar. SKU 133508 is the...

    Loominous "Bleeding" Madras GMTO: A Classic!

    Are these lengths measured before or after washing? Also, since these shirts will be made to order, would it be possible to purchase a shirt with a different sleeve length than what is specified above?

    Loominous "Bleeding" Madras GMTO: A Classic!

    I'm interested in the third pattern as shown above. Also, what are the sleeve lengths for the shirts?

    When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale?

    You're welcome. I've double-checked my invoices, and it's 15% off, not 20% off for the two days after Christmas. Also, I've seen 70% off around certain holidays, but at this point only larger sizes or strongly-patterned jackets are left.

    Suit Jacket Bubbling After Dry Cleaning

    It's an 1818 suit made by Southwick in the U.S. And the dry cleaner is really that terrible. The only other time I've seen similar damage is on suits that are several years old, and drycleaned frequently.

    Suit Jacket Bubbling After Dry Cleaning

    I had my tailor and a sales advisor at Brooks Brothers examine the jacket. They concluded that the dry cleaner used too much heat when pressing the jacket. The jacket is six months old, and it was the first time at the dry cleaners. Dry cleaning. Not even once.

    Suit Jacket Bubbling After Dry Cleaning

    The jacket is half canvassed. I'll steam it from the back per your recommendation.

    Fake or Real (Authentic, Genuine, etc.) -- Official Authentication Thread

    Looks real to me. The typeface on the Burberry label and size tag are correct.

    Suit Jacket Bubbling After Dry Cleaning

    I recently had a Brooks Brothers 1818 suit dry cleaned, and it was returned with wrinkled lapels and bubbling above the left jacket pocket. Here is a closeup with the damage circled: I had the dry cleaners press the jacket again, but this bubbling is still present. The bubbling is...

    The Uniqlo Thread

    The Red Fleece OCBDs are not as nice as the mainline OCBDs. They feature alpha sizing as opposed to neck and sleeve sizing, and are available in extra slim fit only. Then again, the Red Fleece OCBDs are $30 cheaper.
