Ralph Lauren vs. Brooks Brothers

[onix]

Pick your favorite, however you interpret as being "better". Just pick one.

 

[Duco]

Easy, Ralph Lauren.

RL of course. preppy british styles with some sex. some italian style with sex in black label. fits and quality overall tops bb by a longshot.


bb is just your trad, sackish, american potbelly, AAAC portly , flower in your lapel hole, straw hat and seersucker, look-at-me-i - sit -alone-at -the -corner table at starbucks/borders middle-aged guy with nothing to do , look


the comparison is a disrespect to rl.

I like them both but lately have spent more time and money with RL than BB.

If I had to pick one, it would be RL. I like the fit of jackets better. They offer a better natural shoulder than BB.

This isn't even close...Ralph Lauren all the way!!!

+1, gotta agree with sho here.

in the interest of quantifying the unquantifiable and making unsubstantiated claims:

Polo >>>>>>>>>>>>> Brooks Mainline
Black Label < Black Fleece
Purple Label >>>> Golden Fleece


As you can see, I might give brooks the edge in the middle tier, but even then it is close, and the other two lines are not comparable.

Isn't Black Fleece more expensive at full price than RLPL?

BBBF is closer to RLPL price point than RLBL

Who's going to check that we don't do that?
