JazX,
what have you got against BR?
Besides the fact that I worked there for over a year part time, they make clothes that far less people wear than Abercrombie.
They make clothes that in many cases you have to be confident to wear, in that it's much easier for someone ignorant to fashion to wear the Abercrombie/ American Eagle/Gap/Old Navy look than it is for them to even think of getting in something that fits well and looks respectable.Man, I saw it so many times there, the girlfriend bringing her boyfriend in because she'd like to see him wear something nice and he gets frustrated because he can't find the cargo pants and the logo shirts.
It's hilarious watching unfashionable guys shop when you know their foremost thought is, "Oh my God this will make me look gay."
Sad to say, honestly, that nice clothing still has that stigma for men.But anyhow, I was in BR last week for the first time in a while and it's some of the coolest stuff they've ever had. Really nice suits (finally) best jeans they've had, the shoes are all terrible now, though, and their work shirts and ties are the best yet. And still plenty of decent casual stuff.
look at their web site if you must:
