Meh, Gitman is about BR's speed. Never cared too much for Gitman.

Ha ha ha. Touche!

& I do wish they'd stop taking shots of models who looked like they'd just been goosed--and enjoyed it!

I go to BR for their pima cotton tees. It's a staple for me when running around town doing errands. I also have a couple of pair of chinos I got using gift cards I had received.

Other than the tees, the only thing I stop to look at are their accessories (belts, etc.), though I've never purchased any.

With that being said, I'll contribute to this thread...I like BR's tailored fit and heritage collection but everything else is either ugly or fits weird. I did get a full suit (tailored fit) on final sale for $90 total and after $30 in alterations it fits perfectly.



Hmm, I never got that email from them... Was it targeted? What day did you receive?

I got this coat at BR. It's one of only 2 or 3 things from there that I still wear.
