only some shirts are made in supima.... the non iron pretty much ruins all the beneficial attributes of the fiber however.

Every Spring and Fall.  FWIW, BB usually runs a 25% off corporate incentive sale in late March.  If you have the corporate discount card, you get 25% off anything in the store.  Get on the e-mail list and you will get an e-mail announcing the sale.


Does the 25% off apply to Cordovan and Black Fleece too?

Why don't BB offer a long wing gun boat other than the suede LW? Ain't the gun boat an American classic? :fu:

Actually this spring it's 30% off, one day only, Thursday, March 15. It almost certainly does not apply to BF. Not sure about cordovan.

With the price increases for shoes, suits, etc., sounds like BB is slowly moving towards the Joseph A. Bank model of big discounts on unreasonably high prices to get people in the door.

I have very similar experiences at BB. The sales associates tend to ignore me, but I figure it's because I look young and usually shop in jeans. I do notice that they treat the older, better dressed shoppers better.
By the way, is the supima cotton new? I noticed that too on the website. I thought their shirts were made from supima previously already but just not stated?


Isn't this kind of the point of SF? Entire religions receive more credibility than they deserve because of such hoodwinking.

Nice. I've got my eye on that shoe for the next 40% off shoe sale. Does it fit TTS?

Just because I have to rub your face in it, I found these brand new at a local thrift for $50. But to answer your question, yes, they fit true to size. They're an excellent shoe. You're going to love them.

LTHOUGH... one thing bothers me a lot
look really closely at my picture of the shoes
do you notice a ... sort of dimpling in the stitching by the laces?
it's there on both shoes, on the inside of the foot
at first i thought this was a defect and i was going to return it to BB ...
but when i looked at the pictures on their website, even those shoes have the same flaw

they are out of my size online and stock is getting low at other stores ... i had mine transferred from another location
the dimpling or whatever does not show because they are covered by the pants
and besides, no one inspects the shoes up close so i can live with it
but i wonder why the shoes have this issue to begin with
