Someone at Brooks-brothers is going to lose their job!

Nice capri pants. Is he European by chance?

Thom Browne is a gool ole 'merican boy!

And an idiot, IMHO.

But he's all the rage in the fashion circles in New York &c. Of course, to me, that stuff just makes you look like an idiot, but I guess it's a backlash against big & baggy suits and too-long puddle-at-your-feet pants.

It actually took me a while to notice the too-short aspect of the clothes ... I was distracted by the Hitler-haircut on the model.

most of those remind me of the line from "Office Space" that wasn't exactly this but the same sentiment...goes something like:

"Does anyone say 'You have a case of the Mondays' where you work?" --asked to the neighbor who is a construction worker. his reply...

"Hell no...saying something like that would get you beat up."

My not-so-consicely-put point...wear most of those outfits and you will most certainly get beaten up (by children and little old ladies, if you are the type to wear most of those outfits in the first place).

But Timmy...love the cape!

 

[Jfala]

Wow! What decade is it?

 

[Stauff]

Interesting... I'll just stick to my trusted Dries Van Noten, thank you.

I'd rather wear a thong backwards.

+1 but I think that would hurt

Brooks Brothers is probably wisely looking to expand its market to include a younger, more fashion - as opposed to style - hungry group. Thom Browne is all the rage in men's fashion at the moment, and this line has a decent chance at succeeding.

The very fact that such a traditional company as BB is moving into this market makes me wonder if perhaps their sales have fallen rather drastically over the past few years.

Although I can see where they want to go, this is no clothing for men...

Thank you. I'm glad someone finally said it.

 

[Mama Bear]

Someone must be buying these... I just don't know who...

 

[johnniegold]

When a man puts on a suit we hope we can look like Cary Grant in North By Northwest. Not Jerry Lewis in The Bellboy.

 

[rexj]

A line of suits that Peewee can wear to the movies.

Holy bat crap, Batman!

 

[Redleg]

and I was wondering where I was going to get my lunch money...

 

[Smedley]

If they're bringing back opera capes, I want to see a resurgence in sword canes and the collapsible top hat. Why go out half-dressed? Oh..and spats. Where are the spats in these pictures?

But then how would you be able to see the bare ankles/knee socks/rediculously short pants?

 

[Tinzien]

I wonder what the models get paid to wear such lunacy?

 

[scoopster]

Works for him...

Yeah but Angus rocks so he gets a buy on anything he wears. Those BB dude's don't look like they rock.

 

[Dr. Mike]

Yes!
Now I have some more things to add to my Christmas wish list, along with a new Gillette Fusion, a case of Edge gel, a gross of Spam, and a barium enema.
Seriously, though, you know they charge top dollar for that stuff. You could probably keep this entire forum stocked with the Swedish Gillette blades for a decade off of the price of just that cape.

Our members spats out their coffee when they first saw the photo!

The perfect unit of measure for that product.

Unless you have money to burn in looking cutting-edge-fashionable (rather than stylish), don't buy this stuff. Five years from now you'll have worn it a dozen times, and (if it's still in your closet rather than donated to charity by then) be faced with the prospect of an expensive closet-padder as it'll be so out-of-fashion by then that no one would be caught dead wearing it.

You can look hip or you can look good, but when it comes to this, you can't do both.

 

[Zeni]

I'm sure Kenny Loggin's ex-wife could help you with that.

these clothes are actually shameful to the BB brand. ***
