Brooks Brothers Factory Outlet

From my first visit, it looks like Brooks is one the better outlets at McArthurGlen for traditional gentlemen clothing for a store that was founded in 1818. They sell mostly their 346 label line which is made only for the outlets. After examining their 346 line of shirts, I ended buying one of their 346 100% cotton button-​down collar shirts because I did get a good deal and the quality of fabric and fit looked good for outlet standards — only time will tell after washing and wearing. The shirt reminded me of a J. Press shirt with the flap pocket and a big button down collar and since there isn’t a J. Press store in Vancouver, this was as close as it could get. For those who like collars, the collars and the roll of most Brooks Brothers shirts is larger than average.
A lot of Brooks’ shirts are non-​iron which means were chemically treated and it’s non-​traditional for traditional clothing store like Brooks Brothers that’s has so much history to it, yet from browsing the store, it felt like 90% of their shirts are non-​iron (more shiny and less breathable) which doesn’t have the look and feel of regular chemical free need to iron shirts.
I bought the need to iron shirt.

Went there to pick up some shirts and pants few days ago. People are friendly, helpful, and patient, especially Jonathan and Sean, who spent some quality time helping me pick up the sizes I need. Store is tidy and bright. Since pretty much everything is on sale, (duh, outlet store right) the price is pretty cheap comparing to brands I usually wear. Quality wise, pretty good. The shirts are not worse than the 200 – 300 Burberry, Eton shirts I bought from Harry Rosen. Totally recommended.
