I copied the text of the press release below:
New York, January 26, 2011 - Nordstrom, Inc. (NYSE: JWN) and Brooks Brothers announced a partnership today to begin selling Brooks Brothers menswear in select Nordstrom stores and on Nordstrom.com.
"We are very excited about this new partnership and honored to be working with Nordstrom," said Paulette Garafalo, Brooks Brothers' President of Wholesale. "Brooks Brothers and Nordstrom share the same values and a long-held tradition of offering exceptional products and unparalleled customer service."
"Our presence at Nordstrom allows us to reach new customers. It also gives us an opportunity to speak to the increasing number of younger men who are either drawn to our legendary brand or may be just discovering it," Garafalo added.
"We know many of our customers admire and appreciate the Brooks Brothers brand for its heritage and quality," says David Witman, Nordstrom General Merchandise Manager, Menswear. "We're thrilled to be able to offer Brooks Brothers merchandise and we think our customers will respond well to it. "
Beginning in July 2011, Brooks Brothers will be available in Nordstrom stores nationwide including Seattle, Chicago, Tyson's Corner, VA and Dallas. The collection consists of tailored clothing, outerwear, dress furnishings and collegiate-themed sportswear including updated versions of some of Brooks Brothers' most iconic items; many of which feature youthful styling and slimmer fits. Much of the fall 2011 line has been inspired by Brooks Brothers nearly 200 year history with an emphasis on mid-century campus classics re-imagined for today. Nordstrom will also carry the newly launched "Fleece" collection for Boys and Girls which is designed by Nikki Kule.
The arrangement with Nordstrom marks Brooks Brothers' notable return to wholesale; a business the brand can last trace back to 1853.
