Brooks Brothers




Wow it's been minute since i've posted here, actually two months to the day. I actually recently started a Tumblr log which has been nice, but it doesn't seem to have the full posting capacity of blogger. Tumblr's more so if you want just a log of content such as video, pictures, links, music and even quotes. You can check out mine here, its been a nice seamless experience thus far.

As for this blog, I don't know if anyone actually reads it, haha. Either or I thought I would entertain myself with a little write up about my first Brooks Brothers experience. I am in a wedding this weekend, which required all of the groomsman to purchase a tuxedo, shoes and tuxedo shirt. While we are wearing a nice one button Marc By Marc Jacobs tuxedo, we decided to go very proper and traditional with Brooks Brothers pleated tuxedo shirt. I must say I love that store, as soon as you walk in you can feel the tradition and heritage of the brand. For me, that classic tradition holds the main selling point of the brand. You feel like you're buying more than just an article of clothing, but a piece that has a story behind it one that some of my "cooler" friends probably disagree with. Nonetheless, being measured and fitted for a proper tuxedo shirt at one of the most classic mens wear stores still standing was a really dope experience. I can't help but draw from it and want to recreate something of its liking for myself, with my own story, isn't that what it's all about.

All in all definitely looking forward to this wedding, going to be one for the ages. I'll have a slew of footage after this weekend.
