Brooks Brothers bankrupt

I did all my clothes shopping once a year on Black Friday at outlet malls. For a while I would stop in at the Brooks Brothers outlet store, since I had a nice hand me down BB suit as a child. But after a few times I realized there is just nothing there I like anymore; they seem to have stopped the design process in the 1980s and everything looks like it needs suspenders to complete the look. And because the tailoring is for people who sit at desks all day eating Joy of Cooking meals.

Banana Republic and Calvin Klein were where I got my clothes. Much better tailoring and current style. Now that I have a Dad Bod, I just buy casual clothes at Costco. The tucked shirts that BB sells may never be worn again.
