Brooks Brothers still prestigious or has it faded away?

I have always thought it was overpriced for what it offered. Nothing really different or extraordinary.

Not sure if it is prestigious, but if you don't buy from an outlet, their stuff is good quality.

still top notch IMO

Still the oldest men's clothier in the US.

It amazes me that this shite really bothers a large number of you guys..

Their non iron dress shirts are really the only thing I wear. If you catch the deals, they are well worth the money in my opinion

I have gone in their stores and not been blown away by anything they offer. It's pretty pedestrian for what they put on the price tags.

Brooks brahs is still tier god in the frat clothier rankings

It's still good, there are just a lot of really good menswear companies now. The outlet quality has declined, like they're basically producing shittier versions specifically for the outlets (they might be, but I don't think it was always like this).
I like Orvis sports shirts and pants better than BB now, get a lot of my casual stuff from more rugged companies like Patagonia, Filson or Mountain Khakis, etc. I like Peter Millar better for almost everything BB does.
For years I couldn't find a dress shirt alternative, but Roundtree and Yorke Gold (Dillards in house top label) works well and saves me about 30 bucks per white/blue staple.
All that said, I still purchase it, I just don't seek it out as my first choice as much.

I still like their shirts. Their white button down oxford is the only shirt I wear to court. They also still have a pretty good selection of bow ties.

There's a BB outlet at Grand River in Leeds. There's a BB retail store at The Summit off of 280 in Hoover/Stavia/Brook and the difference in the stuff offered is like it isn't even the same brand.

its definitely faded, lots of competition. bespoke is where its at for the money. guy comes to your house, measures you, sends shite to india about 2 months later you get a nice bespoke suit.
I have never been a fan, I find the suits make you look fat and aren't that fashionable. they are timeless though, and good quality.

yeah I think all their outlet stuff has "346" on the tag

Haven't checked out the outlet yet, but I guess this will save me the trip.
I have 5 or so pullovers from BB and I prefer them to my Polo shirts. They fit a little better and don't seem to shrink very much.

I am a fan of their slim fit long sleeve button down shirts...haven't bought much else from them.
