I want more of the 240 last. I don't think it's available outside of brooks brothers,

That's correct. It is one of the genuine "Peal & Co." lasts that BB acquired when they purchased the Peal name and assets.


Aha, didn't know 240 was one of the original Peal & Co last, cool info.

I am looking to make my first ever suit purchase as well as some dress shirts as I transition to the work world. I'm curious if I go to a store, will I be able to get (whatever the suit itself is discounted) + 15% Christmas kicker + 15% if you sign up for a credit card? Does anyone else know if this will be an option?

Odd. Ordered the Alden snuff suede boots on crepe. Good deal at $350 after 15% kicker plus shoprunner free shipping.
Paid using paypal.

Later decided to get some BBBF OCBD shirts. No shoprunner (not too unusual).
But no paypal option.

Was looking at the Strand at my local AE store and just saw the BB sale with their version of the Strand for $247 (vs $385 at AE), after sale price + extra 15% off. Picked up two - black and walnut. Returning the Ferragamo Caesy pebbled to Nordstrom for $720 refund. Now looking to add the BB AE Chukka boot for $211 for a total of 3 pairs for less than the Ferragamo...

E for BB is slightly different, at least for me. The lasts are the same, but BB puts in a poron insert that is sewn into the shoe and difficult to remove, it makes the inside of the shoe smaller so you might have to size up...

I size up from a 9 to a 9.5 with the poron insole as well. I have 3 BB AE and 3 regular, it's been consistently .5 size up IME

Thanks for the heads up on BB AE shoes being 1/2 size up!! I just bought both in 11.5D and I'll return the ones that don't fit.

I am very tempted to pick a pair up myself. I have them in my shopping cart but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Does anyone know if the BB shoes made by AE are eligible for their recrafting service?

How is the construction on the Milano Blazers? They have one on sale with LP cloth that is half canvassed just under $450. Is it worth it?
