Brooks Brothers Review
Henry Sands Brooks opened a small clothing store in Manhattan and founded his brand on the idea of providing all shoppers with access to quality clothing. After his death, his four sons renamed the shop Brooks Brothers and set about creating a brand synonymous with fine clothing. Though the clothing chain no longer remains with the family, the current owners believe in providing customers with the same amazing clothing.
Hundreds of famous faces wore the company's clothing over the years, including Abraham Lincoln, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, John F. Kennedy and other American presidents. Other famous fans of the brand included Stephen Colbert, Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart. Brooks Brothers clothing also made appearances on television shows like Parks and Recreation, Gossip Girl and Mad Men. When the clothing stylists for that show researched popular clothing for Don Draper and other characters, they discovered that most advertising men of the time gravitated to Brooks Brothers. The company manufactured and provided the show with dozens of suits during its run on television and even offered similar suits for sale on its website. The company even made miniature suits to dress the popular film and television character Kermit the Frog of The Muppets.
Though the clothing sold today shares little in common with its original designs, Brooks Brothers remains one of the ultimate producers and retail shops of fine clothing. The company began a partnership with designer Thom Browne in 2007 that led to the formation of Black Fleece, a line of clothing for men that walks the line between modern and contemporary. The Red Fleece collection includes preppy-style clothing for both men and women, including button down shirts, simple slacks and other classic pieces.
Brooks Brothers developed a cult-like following among women during the 1940s and 1950s. Women who did not want to wear the dresses and skirts that others wore turned to the company and began purchasing suits that they tailored to fit their own feminine bodies. Actresses Maria Riva and Nina Foch were just a few women who wore the company's suits in films, on television and on the red carpet. This led to Brooks Brothers implementing a line of clothing just for women and offering the same tailoring services that it offered male customers to its female client base.
The modern version of Brooks Brothers still sells plenty of suits and elegant eveningwear, but the company offers more casual clothing for every day wear as well. When browsing the site today, you can search for clothing suitable for men, women or children, and the site offers separate sections for girls and boys. Items from the Black Fleece and Red Fleece collections are also available, and you can shop for clearance merchandise as well. Clearance items typically become available at the end of the season to make room for new merchandise.
Despite having a reputation of being a classic clothing store, Brooks Brothers doesn't take itself too seriously. You can see that for yourself in the following video. Titled "A Holiday Miracle," the video is a reminder that the holidays are a fun time and that you shouldn't take yourself too seriously.
