re: Brooks Brothers still prestigious or has it faded away?

I have a few bespoke shirts and they haven't held up as well as my BB non-irons, and only look marginally better after being dry cleaned. They come out to about the same cost if you pay full price, so it's only really worth it if you can't find shirts that fit decent enough.

For all you OTers balling on a budget, Land's End has some decent quality non-irons that you can get on the cheap.
