BB Natural Craftsmanship?

Does anyone have thoughts on Brooks Brothers' Natural Craftsmanship line? All I know about it is that it was priced at a massive premium, but many items are / have been on sale previously for significant discounts - wondering whether there's any increase in quality worth the list prices.

Particularly curious if anyone has thoughts on this coat - certainly didn't seem worth $2500 but perhaps $750 is good value?

Don't know how the Natural Craftsmanship outerwear fits, but FYI the sportcoats fit snugly--I am a 36R in most BB cuts and had to size up to 38R. Didn't end up buying one but they did seem well made. $750 for that coat looks like a reasonable price.

Thanks for the replies - appreciate the help from more experienced members. I'll report back once I get the items in hand on how I see quality vs. other items I own.

I got the cotton cashmere chinos and they seem like fair deal at the sale price. The fabric is very nice, but the construction is ordinary. Fit wasn't great, but nothing my tailor couldn't remedy. I expect the coat would be similar. Original retail prices were a joke.
