During the 80's and 90's
I was a Brooks Brothers man. Suits, ties, etc. I don't know if it was change of ownership or a new management style, but somthing bad happened to the company. One could always depend on a consistent, even tradmark Brooks Brothers style. Not any more. It seems lately as if each year, the company tries out a new sartorial fad. Ugh!
In 1997, I said goodbye to the firm and now buy made to measure suits by Samuelson or Hickey Freeman. So far, those two makes have kept a nice conservative business standard.
Sorry, but shame on Brooks Brothers for turning themselves into the latest fashionista.

Isn't there a way of folding them?
I don't use them but I remember that they were folded in a certain way. Anyone know how? -MW
