HOT!! Brooks Brother Black Friday Sale

[stever]

I thought regular fit was $69.50 and slim-fit was $79.50.
I can definitely be wrong though.

last time i was in a retail store one month ago, non iron classic shirts went for 3 for $219 or $73 a shirt without tax

Right, but the postcard says shirts that are normally $69.50 or $79.50 will be $29.99.
We're just not sure which shirts that includes.

im guessing its the factory, if its not then its a great deal. they told me in the factory store that realistically the non iron shirts last only 50 or so washes, then it starts to shed and fade. whereas the retail shirts are supposed to last a few hundred washes or they say at least 2 years-not bad

[Dan]

I know its for the factory store, the question is which shirts from there.

oh gotcha. do you prefer BB or CT shirts?

I like them both.
BB standard shirts runs a little roomier than CT and have a stiffer (therefore less wrinkled, and slightly more dressy) feel IMO.

At $25 or $29 the BB are a great bargain.

so its worth to wait for bb sale? how often do they have the $29 sale per yr?

I've never seen them this cheap.
And I'm hoping they'll wind up being $25, but that's YMMV.

i heard when the online sales hit its first come first serve. the great thing about them is you can get whatever size you want and just trade it in!

[kishke]

have you ever tried to buy a diff. size shirt(exchaning size later time) and then exchange lets say from classic fit to reg fit?
in other words exchanges can be made only to size or diff styles too?

But it has to be the same type/style  of shirt.   E.g. you can't exchange fitted for regular,  so when taking the wrong size make sure its the type u want.

yes that will work too, as long as its in the same price range. the retail store has"luxury shirts" which are priced higher

i have bought a cornwell shirt and switched it in for a classic non iron shirt. the cornwell shirt has a dreadful collar. i think its meant for golfers. 

i bought 4 of them online and switched all of them in

Id say BB over CT  ---better quality and CT doesnt offer 32 inch sleeve (for free) . its much easier to get good deal with CT in general, but BB has good sales from time to time

its very common to get sale shirts which usually are 40 combine with a 25% coupon=$30
the cheapest BB sale for full priced of the yr is usually right after xmas (used to be something like 3 for 160 plus 15 percent)

why would it help to order shirts in wrong size? if its a seasonal shirt (which are usually the only ones they go on sale) they wont get them back in stock....and if its diff style they will charge the difference   no??

according to BB  reg store shirts are also only "guaranteed" for 50 washes...not "hundreds"

usually only worth it to buy the traditional -fat-fit (sorry not my line) in outlet store

Why? Also, how can I tell what type of fit my current shirts are? It doesn't seem to say on the label?

[Jay the PRESIDENT]

bec in the outlet stores the slim fit is priced higher than reg fit. so the price of the slim fit is usually almost the same in the reg 1818 store which are arguably better quality.  red label should be reg fit

BB has 4 fits for men in the 1818 shirt: traditional regular slim and extra slim

[sguitarist18]

Is there a reason why it's better to get traditional over regular?

[bentch]

has anyone had any success with certain factory stores by phone?
