Covers a lot of bases. I’d add some checks (graph checks and tattersall) and maybe another color stripe: a darker blue stripe or a purple, pink or green stripe.

Interesting approach by Harry Rosen (a high-end men's boutique in Canada).

They've been very aggressive in getting people back to stores. They're giving out a credit of $250 for any/all purchases - no minimum spend required (i.e. free money). In addition, you get a $50 in credit back if you use at least $50 from the bonus credit.

I have until Sunday to use it, and trying to decide between a tie, or maybe a fragrance (e.g. Creed, TF). Or commission a pair of trousers from Samuelsohn.

All that said, I hope CM bounces back when/if things go back to normal.

Free money to shop? That’s depressing. I hope this is not some last ditch effort before bankruptcy.

I still don’t know what to get…

What do you think about this shirt wardrobe? Assuming it would be worn with odd jacket/trouser combinations and casual suits.

• Light blue cotton/linen spread collar
• Light blue Bengal stripe poplin spread collar
• Grey reverse stripe oxford cloth spread collar
• Red pencil stripe cotton/linen spread collar
• Indigo denim/chambray spread collar
• Light blue oxford cloth button down collar
• Ecru oxford cloth button down collar
• Light blue candy stripe cotton/linen button down collar
• Washed denim button down collar
• Lavender cotton/linen button down collar

How about a white cotton/linen spread collar, pink end-on-end spread collar, dark blue check on white BD collar

Does he actually wear BB?. I've read Americans think BB went down the valley. Also wasn't their look supposed to not stand out?

Sartorial success comes to those who recognize oxfords are for suits

I actually specifically chose these items because I feel Brooks Brothers still does American casual well. If you like ALD you gotta credit BB for that.

This is great. This is pretty much how I try to dress (emphasis on try) given that I work in an industry with no dress code.

I really love the MiUSA casual OCBDs (rip). Maybe not at full price, but I'm lucky enough to have visited the Garland outlet a few times and taken advantage of the copious sales.

They had (have?) some great casual shirts.

I've been eyeing off that jumper for a while, but am worried that it's a bit too bright/powerfully patterned for me to wear. I think that it's great under a jacket but given that daytime temperatures here never get below about 50F, I'd never ever wear it under a jacket!

I like the BB MiUSA OCBD shirt but that’s about the only last thing I used to buy from them. How are their chino/cord vs the usual competition?

yea I was surprised to see him on the Rota international page, but good for him!

I’m not gonna lie—that sweater is fairly polarizing. My wife hates it. I love it ??

I always lose those arguments and LuxeSwap ends up with the item in question.
