Hello All,
What is the Quality of Brooks Bros Dress Shirts and Suits.
From 1-10, 10 being the finest?

Thanks in Advance,

Brooks' best suits, the Golden Fleece, are nice, if you like the cut, and represent an excellent bargain when found on sale for $500 or less. The other lines are of lesser quality; I would call them workmanlike. I wouldn't pay anywhere near retail for them.

As for shirts, some long-time customers will tell you the quality has declined over the years, and I strongly dislike the trend toward non-iron. The shirts are also extremely blousy. But the U.S.-made shirts remain a fair deal, particularly on sale, or for $30 on eBay.
