I was talking mostly about the 1818 suit. I'd be curious to see their sales figures at retail and all the steps of discounting they go through over the year. The retail price may or may not be a joke but if customers are conditioned to believe it is the end result is the same either way.
Wouldn't Southwick's closure also be an indication that those suits weren't unfairly priced? If the mark up was much higher than normal, and Brooks Brothers could make a profit on them even on discount, why would they close Southwick and be trying to find a buyer for those factories?
