I'm a Brooks Brothers Type of Guy

I arrived at the outlet store and was greeted by a very knowledgeable sales associate. He gave me a very thorough overview of their various product lines. He then took my measurements and sent me into the dressing room with slacks in various fabrics and shades.

I ended up with a navy Brooks Brothers Two-button Suiting Essential Jacket and matching slacks. Because of my odd shaped body, it required some alterations, which they were willing to do at no charge and ship to a store that was a little closer to my house and from where I could pick it up.

The suit was not cheap, but I had the gift certificate from my sons, which pretty much covered my purchase. While I was there, I picked up two shirts and a new tie. (What the heck, it's only money.)

I must say I am extremely happy with my Brooks Brothers clothing. First, it fits my body perfectly without any sagging shoulders or bulges in the butt. The tailoring is exquisite and it's a pleasure to wear. (It is VERY comfortable.) When I put it on and look in the mirror, I feel like I'm a different person. It really does make a difference in my looks and that makes a difference in how I feel.

The fabric is soft and has a little stretch (thankfully, because I need it). The only complaint I have is that it is imported. I would have liked the suit to be made in the good old U.S.A.

I'm sure you can get better prices on suits, but you probably won't get a better fit or better service at their stores. I'm now a Brooks Brothers man, that's for sure!
