I’ve never seen more than 5 people simultaneously at BB so not sure what is so sad. In general, the fact that Canadian peeps crave and are dominated by US culture makes it ironic when American companies have to exit a market like Toronto.
Oh well….
Honestly, who cares about BB in this day and age. There is nothing in their stores that excites me. Black fleece was interesting, but that's it
When it came to shoes, they were probably one of the best stockists in Canada.
The Peal shoes were made by C&J, Church's, Sargent, and Loake. Not to mention their Edward Green line.
Derek Guy is very well-versed in the history of the company, and he wrote that BB's reputation came from the fact that they stocked from the best makers in the world. Since the company got sold, they went much further downmarket (example, Aldo now makes their shoes).
I live in Canada and enjoy tweed, flannel in Neapolitan tailoring! I think tailoring and style is preference regardless of weather. Tweed and Flannel fabrics are made in mills all over the world.IMO what we need is better range of British tailoring here. The weather in Canada calls for more British suits and fabrics than it does Neopolitan.
Saks tried by bring Lutwyche along, unfortunately it wasn't rolled out well. I bought 2 sportcoats and a suit and they are Brioni level good (maybe even better). I can wear them in ugly weather and they can take a beating.

Spier and Mackay has cult following in Canada! It is all Chinapolitan!

I think you missed the fact that Brooks Brothers is not catering to the general population of the people of Toronto regardless of the points you make. BB assumedly was catering to clothing enthusiasts who would/should have appreciated them having a physical presence in Toronto yet failed in this market. The price of mens tailored clothing in this city is outrageous - does not compute for me personally.
I asked them today, it will be similar to J.Crew, you will only able to order from their US website from now on, which means more duty and tax, and painful return cost.I got the email, was wondering if they are only closing physical locations, but this answers the question
