BROOKS BROTHERS MEN'S REGENT PURE COTTON WORK/DRESS SHIRT AN OFFICE STAPLE EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE BROOKS BROTHERS An American Haberdashery Brooks Brothers is now more than 200 years old and it has played a defining role in shaping the course of American style and menswear. In many ways, they served to democratize style, making clothing more accessible, affordable, and wearable for the masses. They’re known for their quality, conservative looks, and for manufacturing in the United States for most of their history. They’ve outfitted 40 of the 45 American presidents and pretty much every star during the Golden Age of Hollywood wore Brooks Brothers clothing. Founded in 1818 by Henry Brooks and his sons inherited the company hence the name Brooks Brothers. In 1849, they were the first company to introduce ready-to-wear clothing and the next year in 1850, their famous Golden Fleece logo was adopted. One of Brooks Brothers’ most famous customers around this time in the mid-19th century was Abraham Lincoln. In fact, he was assassinated wearing a Brooks Brothers suit.
