Re: Dating Brooks Brothers
Hahaha. Yeah. Old.
And AC may be able to offer some more insight. He dated Brook's brothers for a few years before he got married.

Re: Dating Brooks Brothers
I've just realised the thread title sounds a bit weird. But yeah, I've heard they are a bit needy.

Re: Dating Brooks Brothers
I'm trying to do a bit of research to help you out GeorgieBoy, but I'm really coming up empty on this one.

Looks like 50's to me (or late 40's), when Rayon was popular in men's clothing. It had been used in women's clothing before that-

Re: Dating Brooks Brothers
Just heard back from Brooks Brothers. The tie's pattern dates back to the 1930s, however this one was made between 1941-45 as the fabric was switched from silk to rayon during WWII.
Mystery solved.

Re: Dating Brooks Brothers
That's great that BB was able to help you. This was a great find by you- so much of the history of makers like BB gets lost.
