JAB actually likes to compare their shirts to BB's.

Call me crazy, but I have much less hate for JAB than most on here.
Their stuff is actually not that horrible, is of higher quality than other mass-marketed tailored men's clothing where ppl would normally go for that sort of thing (e.g. Men's Wearhouse), remains relatively true to the more classic tenets of men's clothing (meaning not getting as trendy as some others), and provides generally solid value for the average, non-SF suit wearer. For my friends who want an interview and wedding suit that's not going to fall apart and might have them looking relatively decent and don't care about the SF minutiae, JAB is actually a pretty solid recommendation. Of all the MC mass-marketers, JAB is probably the most SF compliant.
Why people always say, after winning something, that it's "humbling."
At some level, I suppose I kind of understand how if you win Wimbledon once and you're now in the company of all the greats who won Wimbledon, maybe it's kind of humbling. But even then, it's a shitload more humbling to be the guy you just beat.
What really triggered this was Shaun White saying it's humbling to have won six X Games golds in superpipe or whatever they call it. How is that humbling at all? You're the winningest guy, like, probably ever in this crap. There's no humility to be found in winning it again. Do you know what the word means, or are you just saying it because that's what you heard some Wimbledon champ say?
Oh, and since we're on the topic.......
X Games.

i think back in the day jab was bal'mor-only? the shirts were very nice (ocbd) w/ a slightly reduced 'roll' to the collar that made them, to my mind, preferable to bb
of course roomie was a greyhound, so you know he had good taste!
pluck the eagles!

I have never worn anything from brooks brothers.
BB shirts suffer from American sizing. Well, I get all my shirts tailored anyway so I don't see much of a point in buying a bunch of adequate shirts that cost $60 and having them tailored for $15-$20. Besides, the sizing is usually so wonky that the tailor needs to chop them to pieces anyway. Just not worth it.
