You only bought 4 shirts, and you had someone open a credit card to save $27, or am I missing something here? There are alot of better cards sign up for that gives you a whole lot more.

There's a guy in town who claims to have BB shirts, sells under the Enro label, for $35 -$40 a piece, depending on how much you bargain him down to.
Can anyone vouch for the veracity of his claim? they're 100% cotton non iron, and they wash and wear pretty well.

What is Brooks Brothers policy on worn shirts. Someone told me you might be able to exchange them if your not happy with them.

Is that still like that ? Have a few worn but in perfect condition Slim Fits 15" button down I want to exchange..

Is that pushing it ?

I do not think they will take it back unless they are unworn and have the tag IME. But if you have a broken button or there are tears in places that normal wear and tear do not occur you might be able to exchange. I recently exchanged 4 shirts because of those issues.

So how can I make those issues happen... ;)

Lets hope none of them are reading this blog !

Will thy give me a different size if I ask for it ?

And if its a broken button, will they not rather just replace it then giving a new shirt ?

honestly the best and most useful excuse is the elbows are rubbing out and they look like they will rip any day. Which IME they do. That's why I stopped wearing BB

Haha. The elbow thing happened to me on like 3 shirts. I have never had their buttons break, they are made out of some indestructable material that was harvested from I don't know where.

What shirts do you buy now? I tried Jos A Banks but did not like them, Paul Fredrick were comfy but I didnt like how they fit, and I was not really so happy with CT shirts either.

I like CT shirts but I love Banana Republic shirts. 

Why dont you like CT?

 ct - i don't like the material. Very thin
Bb - the elbow sitch
BR - cant afford those....
PF - to me was junk
Nordstrom - the best yet! But i got tons when i was in Phoenix for 8-15$. Just three my last one out 2 weeks ago.

I tried the travelers, I think the BB fit better all in all. But would you recommend Nordstrom over Jose A Banks?

hands down!!  The best shirts I've ever worn were the nordstroms slim (wtvr there called) non iron. They had the texture of the bb shirts (looking like there being worn for the first time), and the quality of jAb. They are great. Yet I've never seen them for cheap (though I've stopped looking bec they for sure aren't 17$ a shirt (as i pay with jab)

Also skip travelers reg. if ur skinny or even if ur not bet like tight, then get the tailored or even the slim fit shirts. (Just As slim as the xtra slim bb)
