New BB Blog

I recently got a newsletter about BB's new blog:

http://blog.brooksbrothers.com/

Seems to be a nice guide for beginners. What do you think?

You'd think they'd pick a photo of jacket with a collar that actually fits.

Just a marketing gimmick. I don't like BB's new jump on the bandwagon thing with the 2" lapels and tiny collars.

Their content seems to be acceptable for the most part. I don't like the idea of wearing suit jackets with odd trousers, though.

Trendy as those features are, they can still fit properly.

It appears to me that GQ has loaned out their online website template.

I tooled around on there after I got the email this morning. Was actually considering making my first SF post a question about it, but you beat me to it.

I like the title- "Rogues and Gentlemen" and the set up, but they have definitely selected some odd pictures.

The "Find Your Style" section is great for beginners...I plan on passing the URL on to some friends that could use some help.

I like what "1969" said.

My personal opinion is that the blog is really garbage. I was quite optimistic when learning of their new blog. However, after following it for a few weeks, I am quite disappointed. It is basically "trying to be cool" instead of just being cool. Brooks Brothers is inherently cool. But this blog is for the J. Crew crowd - the wanna be's. It appears that they get content from the trust funders at Southern Proper.

In summary, the blog sucks and it's a shame.
