Now that fall has arrived, it's time to solidify our fall clothes. Some people need new coats or might want to keep up with the latest trends in autumn clothing. Brooks Brothers remains one of the top brands for jackets and coats. Their apparel appeals to customers who want a classic retro look and those who prefer a contemporary style.
Henry Sands Brooks opened his first store in New York City in 1818 and called it H & DH Brooks & Co. His sons would inherit the business and changed the name to Brooks Brothers in 1818. Their specialty was creating ready-made shirts and suits. The flagship store remains in NYC and there are 135 stores in the US and over 300 stores globally.
Brooks Brothers still maintains its ready-to-wear clothing, but customers may also make an appointment online and go to their nearest store to get fitted for a shirt or suit. Some locations also offer monogramming services on shirts, sweaters, suit jackets and dresses.
Brooks Brothers' outerwear showcases both a young, preppy look and older, more traditional style. The jackets include bomber jackets, wool or camel hair top coats, varsity jackets, windbreakers, rain coats, and corduroy jackets. Customers might prefer a puffer vest to keep warm. Many jackets are made in overseas factories or use fabrics imported from foreign countries such as wool from Italy and the United Kingdom. However, some jackets are produced from Suprima cotton, which is grown in the US.
Brooks Brothers also realizes that certain men prefer a casual jacket, such as denim jackets. They also combine classy with a laid-back look to create this cotton canvas barn jacket.
Most of the above about men's jackets also applies to women's jackets. The major difference is that Brooks Brothers offers cropped versions for women, including suede jackets and peacoats. Women who want longer coats might buy officer coats, twill hooded toggle coats or polo coats. Several jackets (both men and women's) feature water-repellant technology to keep the wearer dry and comfortable. Consider going with this classic trenchcoat which also includes a zip-out lining.
