Brooks Brothers Outlet

What line of suits do they have at the BB outlets? I assume they have the 346, but what about 1818?

 

[anon]

people around here have said sometimes you can find a random Golden Fleece or other suit there if you look. All I ever see is 346

Brooks' outlets stock a lot of stuff that's made for the outlets, but usually there's a small amount of mainline merch mixed in. I've bought GF there before.

At mine, sometimes the good stuff will be in its own little display, sometimes stocked along with the stuff. Usually the latter. It often arrives in gluts, and then months will pass with nothing interesting. Have to look for it.

Can depend on the outlet, too. Some places seem to get better stuff than others.

i once happened on a cache of good ties from the main store, tucked away in a corner, but apart from this the outlet near me has been a sea of 346.

Depending on the location, they may have all lines, including GF and BF

Last weekend I stopped in the outlet in St. Helena, California and was disappointed to find it full of mediocre items that are sold only at the outlets.

Ask a sales rep if they have any of the 1818 stuff in stock. They are always really good about showing me where's the good stuff, if there is any.

If your outlet is near one of the big flagship stores, they will get stock from that store on a regular basis. If your outlet is hundreds of miles from a main store, they will not. That's been my experience.

It varies. The BB outlet in Smithfield, NC occasionally has some mainline, Golden Fleece and even some black fleece stuff, but very, very limited. They had a good supply of shoes at incredible prices at one time, but no longer. The GF suits are usually priced terribly, just about full freight. The one black fleece suit that they have there now is priced at $2k. I don't know what they usually go for but, damn. They have a great GF suit there now, however, priced at $500, and it is a steal at that price. I was at the Charlotte BB outlet this week and it was NOTHING but 346 stuff, which I have never bought, but looks like pure crap.

I've most definitelyfound 1818 at an outlet before - for about $499 if i'm not mistaken...

My local outlet has all the lines, but the Black Fleece section is sadly fairly limited. No BB0 items at all last time I looked.

I was at the Las Vegas BB outlet a couple days ago.

They had a some Black Fleece stuff.
A grey pinstripe suit, blue seersucker jacket and pants, patchwoork seersucker jacket and pants,
some random cream pants and a few sweaters and shirts.

Oddly enough, I could have sworn I saw the same grey pinstripe suit in the regular BB store in Ceasar's for about the same price.
The regular BB had some BF shirts for 1/2 off too. Mostly smaller sizes.

Are the OCBDs at the outlet any different from the regular store? I got some gingham sports shirts and an OCBD or two from the outlet, and don't have any of these items from the regular store to compare them to. They seem to be very nice quality, but maybe my eye is just not trained enough.
