[SmellBlind]

I believe Martin Greenfield’s relationship with BB ended quite a few years ago.

Quite publicly as well.

This is sad, but I am not surprised because of their quality drop.

Quality of what specifically? Have you had defective products?

a bit off topic but I remember a really wonderful NPR interview with him. I didn’t realize that he was a Holocaust survivor. He talked about how he was a boy and he was altering and fixing shirts for the camp guards. Truly amazing life story in every sense of the word.

I met Martin Greenfield about 15-20 years ago at a trunk show at
my local Nieman Marcus. I was interested in a natural shoulder model
which was not being offered, so he recommended BB where he had
an MTM program as well. He was unusually pleasant and friendly.

Was he known to be not so friendly? Why is this unusual?

Raw materials, craftsmanship, yarn count etc.
Well I just believe Brook Brothers' shirt is entry level. Saw them in store and felt like they don't suit me. I heard their quality drop from others. They also moved their production line to Malaysia years ago. Personally I don't have any of their products. I bought Kiton shirt instead.

How did you become privy to their whole supply chain process? I would think that’s classified information, no? Please tell us more.

What classified information? I don't know their business secrets? I saw their final products that's all.

OOOHH............I get it now - you don't like something and you don't even know why. WTF!!

So you have no knowledge or experience with BB but are gonna claim you have issues with their quality?? How?? Because you heard about it from a stranger??

So why is their supply chain such a problem as you state? You don't like BB because they have a "quality" issue and you don't even know why or what it is? Buy then you make this claim as if it's fact? WOW.....
