When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale?

[macjedi]



I currently don't own a navy blue SC and this is the only one I can find withen my $500 dollar budget(open to recommendations). Do you wear this SC with a standard tie width or a skinny tie(less than 3") tie based on the lapels of this SC?

All my ties are 3" to 3.25" and IMO work well with the Regent and Fitz. I wouldn't go any wider and don't like the look of anything skinnier.

I second Stevent's recommendation. Epaulet is a great option. The Caine Navy Hopsack would be my choice if fit me off the rack. It's got a nice material. Great lightweight 3/8 lining and excellent construction. Great QPR for $650. I would have gone made to order on this, but I really wanted a super lightweight blazer. I ended up pulling the trigger on the Howard Yount Summer Blazer ($549). It's definitely more of a summer blazer and the VBC fabric is awesome. I wore it yesterday and it was in the 80's and I didn't break a sweat. Highly recommended, but definitely not for year around in RI.

Get an epaulet one for a tiny bit more

+1. I ordered a stock Napoli Hopsack, very nice, but had to return cause it was a bit big and a bit heavier material than I was looking for. I'll have to MTO next time, but instead of the Napoli I'm going to do a Caine and in a more "fun" fabric. EP is great!

There won't ever be such a thing as a proper year round jacket in RI unless you want to sweat your ass off in July or shiver in January.

Epaulet/Southwick is indeed better than this Regent and only $150 higher - a well spent $150.

I also own a navy hopsack and it's simply too hot for summer months.

Any thoughts on Shearling Boot? $400 ....seems high for a sale, then again I don't know much about them.

Says made in Italy, what Italian maker does the shoes for BB?

I feel like the only MC wear worth buying at Brooks Brothers now are pants and select pair of shoes (Peal, which are overpriced compared to regular C&J and AS)

Shirts, especially button downs, aren't worth it: get Kamakura instead.
Suits and SC's - go to Suit Supply for slimmer,darted ones
Ties, Belts, Socks: meh, better deals elsewhere

I agree with you 100%. I plan on ordering a couple Kamakura shirts soon.They have great quality spread collar and cutaway collars at a solid price.Brooks brother cutaway shirts are highly priced.

Suit Supply is my go to SC and suit website.Great quality for the price and super fast delivery. I can't find a place that has more variety in SC and suits then Suit Supply

The rest I always get elsewhere

I am curious why you think Peal are overpriced compared to regular C&J. The ones I have seen are the same price as C&J benchgrade, yet most seem to think the Peals made by C&J fall somewhere in between bench grade and hand grade.

I agree, but what is this about a clearance deduction sale? At 200 this is a nice boot.

They reduce clearance items down to 60% for a couple of days, at least they did last year.

I'm looking at some chinos currently in their clearance section, a little too high still at $88...

I have a Kamakura slim fit in a pattern and the darts in the back are a bit odd, especially for wearing without a jacket. Great quality but just wanted to point that out. May be less of an issue on a white OCBD.

Is there any schedule to the 60% reduction?

It seems to happen more frequently on Saturdays.

Thank you.

This might be of interest in our discussions regarding Supima cotton.

The fact that it does not say made from imported fabric might mean the fabric was made in the US then transported to Malaysia for construction.
