Brooks Brothers Target Market for These?

[deveandepot1]

It doesn't make any sense. I don't see the kids at Abercrombie stopping off at BB to pick up a $100 hoodie.

Camo Tie

Western Shirt

Hoodies

Guys going through their midlife crisis who want to appear "young", "hip" and "casual" but don't want to be seen in A&F?

Hoodies are kids clothing I think. Cluesless wasps buying it for their kids.

Camo tie is probably intended for the rich redneck wasp or someone working for the DOD.

Western shirt is for the wanabee cowbow wasp.

The western shirt looks pretty cool actually, and is available in extra slim fit. Alas, only in SMLXL, so the sleeves will be too short for me.

No, the hoodies are in the Mens section. In the "Polos and Tees" section for some reason.

The hoodies make sense. People go to the gym, play squash and generally need sweats at some point during the week.

The tie is interesting in a kitsch kind of way. I'd wear it just for the WTF factor.

The shirt I'm not so sure about, BB is normally about American Classics, which this is not. On the other hand I suppose one can only have so many classics before you've got all you need. They have to diversify a little just to get regulars to buy something new.

Hoodies are for kids? When did the time machine stop in 1953?

This is probably the worst example you could possibly have for your argument. In fact, it gives good reason why men shouldn't dress this way.

SW&D?

What do you think my argument was? It's obviously flown by you.

Would rock.


Western Shirt

Ehhh, not for me, but I get it. Brooks customers kick back on the weekends, those in their 20's might want something other than the country club look.

Hoodies

No excuse for the Hoodies. They look like amusement park souvenir shirts.

 

[Master Squirrel]

You wear a western shirt with a western jacket. I wouldn't go to a rockabilly show without one.

 

[Patek]

I kinda like the western shirt and would rock that with some jeans and a casual jacket.

Hoodies are for the rich black guy.

You can say WASP (the W stands for White) so I reckon I can bring race into it too.

What would you wear the tie with? A suit?
