    Quality of Brooks Brothers and Jos A Bank Slimfit Shirts

    Does this mean I can remove the pocket without leaving a permanent mark behind? I've heard that this is a problem with 100% cotton non-iron shirts. hmmm...I am not sure about that. Honestly, I've never had a customer ask for that. I probably wouldn't advise it, because you might still see the...

    Quality of Brooks Brothers and Jos A Bank Slimfit Shirts

    I recently ordered a JAB non-iron slim-fit shirt online and promptly returned it. Its yoke was wider than standard-fit Lands End non-iron shirts that I bought when I was 35 pounds heavier. (Both size 16) The Lands End shirts also have a finer, smoother hand. I've looked at the BB slim-fit and...

    Unfinished trousers? My sartorial pet peeve.

    long delay in posts, but let me say...I am a JoS. A. Bank manager - and ALL (or all I can think of) of our finished pants come in 29, 30, 31, 32, and 34 inseams. There are even 33" inseams in some. Just have your Sales Executive order them if they are not in stock in your store.

    Quality of Brooks Brothers and Jos A Bank Slimfit Shirts

    So the non iron shirts are a different fabric? AFAIK they add a treatment to the same fabric you'd find on any of their shirts... which makes it a non-iron shirt. And I love the non iron shirts, especially since I travel quite a bit. It cuts down on ironing, which shortens the life of your...

    Quality of Brooks Brothers and Jos A Bank Slimfit Shirts

    does anyone know if the slim-fit shirts at either of these stores have narrower shoulders compared to non-slim fit shirts in the same size? Yes - our (JoS. A. Bank) Traveler Tailored Fit shirts are somewhere between 1.5-2 inches narrower in the shoulder than our regular fit. Try one on at your...

    Quality of Brooks Brothers and Jos A Bank Slimfit Shirts

    I am pretty sure that Jos A Bank dose not glue their shirts, I have several shirts from them that have seemed to hold up to their promise. I get them already fitted though. I am a JAB store manager and there seems to be a little confusion between the seam tape that is used and "glue" that we do...

    mcmillin, I'm in Houston, Tx. with a fairly nice JAB store on W. Gray near Shepherd Dr.. A few years ago I bought a bunch of short sleeve solid colored 100% silk shirts ( made in China ) which seemed to be a JAB house brand and were decent for what I wanted and the price was certainly right...

    Why do your commercials seem like they were designed by shady used car dealers? I mute the tv/change the channel whenever one comes on. The radio ads are just as bad. Those of us that work in-store hate them just as much. I'm the first to ridicule the JO!seph A! BANK! man when I hear him on TV...

    McMillin - The JAB nearest me is fairly large, yet they simply don't stock any suits or sport coats in short. Isn't that nuts? I'd buy JAB at typical discount prices if you just brought up the armscyes. I can't stand the way a heavy shoulder and a low armscye makes my jacket sleeve pull back...

    Thanks for this thread, mcmillin. I've settled in to the Joseph line and am very happy with the quality and fit. I also have a couple of Signature Golds; and some poplin suits for summer, which I got for $99 each! I have a question about your formal wear. You have the classics: peak lapels and...

    Question regarding alterations: I just purchased two suits earlier today, in fact, along with a sport coat. The store had to order one of the suits from the factory in my size so I did not proceed with any alterations. I saw a few posts back that you mentioned prices for alterations performed...

    On the pants, what are the sales that normally come around? Anything coming up soon? Right now all dress trousers are buy one get one free. That should be the offer for a while.

    Can you tell me: do they come with brace buttons? Our new models being made now do not automatically come with brace buttons. It's gonna be a crapshoot whether yours does or not. Our tailors will always add them if you want them, though. (So many people don't use them - or even know what they...

    1. Are you sure that the pic stitching really hand done? You find pic stitching on really inexpensive suits, Zara for example, that is completely machine done. I would find it very anomalous for a retail $795 suit that is on perma-sale to have such significant hand work. 2. Does the Platinum...
