any casual / sport shirts?

Decent cuts? Golden Fleece are top notch, but sometimes a classic (read: parachute) fit.

Lots of Milano and Regent.

any casual / sport shirts?

Pretty much everything. Including tailoring.

The last time I stepped into BB on Bloor the lower level (which was the menswear section) was blocked off (I assumed closed) and the street level area was 90% women’s wear. Has this changed recently?

It’s back to normal.

PSA: Get to Brooks Brothers on Bloor ASAP.

All Golden Fleece from prior seasons at 72% off.

Got these shirts for $62.50 each. Retailed for $300.

I wasn't an A student at math but I think the SA gave you more discounts than they should.

GF shirts you got were 60% off only as shown by the signages. And some of the GF shirts off to the side were $385 and $450 not $300...

Stopped by the Isaia boutique in Yorkville, and they're having a special 'Red Bag' event next weekend.

Gianluca Isaia himself will be there.

The red bag event is devoted exclusively to MTM with their rarest fabrics (e.g. vicuna). So you have to make an appointment.

That said, they will be hosting an after-hours cocktail.

Checked out the store today and tried on a nice cashmere coat. Their hand sewn, unstructured shoulders made the coat fit me very well.

Sounds nice...what was the length of the coat?

DId you stick around for their event today (Fri) evening? Or is the event tomorrow?

Length of coat is short, but modern coat lengths are short now.

Event is next Friday and Saturday.

Extra 30% off Golden Fleece.

Extra 30% off Golden Fleece.

That still doesn't come out to $62. Either way, I asked the SA lady to double check, and she said only 60% off on GF shirts.

Here’s my receipt:

^So they scanned the $225 tag instead of $300 AND they stacked the discounts for you which I'm not sure if they're supposed to. They must have switched the tags after you left. lol.

I don’t think it was a mistake. Here’s a link to a shirt on their Canadian website:

Luxury Collection Regent Fitted Dress Shirt, Franklin Spread Collar Fine Windowpane

The Luxury Shirt CollectionCrafted from fine Italian cotton woven by the renowned Thomas Mason Mill, this shirt's clean, elegant look relies on modern design and traditional tailoring, including an invisible French placket and concealed stitching at the front shoulder and back yoke. Our luxury...

brooksbrothers.ca

It was originally $225, not $300 (that was my mistake).

The GF shirts definitely have different price tags on them. Typical of the BB mess that they're going through now.

Again, no skin off my back. Great score on your part.
