I'm steering clear of modern Pendleton stuff. I'd like to think some of their stuff (like the board shirt) is still functional unlike the disappointing sport coat I have from them but I'm not taking any chances when the prices are so high. They seem to lose their value? $200 for a new Topster in the catalogue, while I spent less than $20 (shipping included) on mine, which has the gorgeous clover lapels and doesn't even have moth holes. If you're patient and not overly picky about the exact style of plaid, $20 can get you just about any style of Pendleton shirt on Ebay. Bump that number up to $50 and you have a massive variety from which to choose.

I'm never buying a V-neck tee shirt again. I got a pack once when I was still undecided on the best approach to under garments. I tried V-necks, crew necks, and I tried going without an undershirt at all. I've settled on crewneck so once the few V-necks I have left wear out, they will be replaced with crews.

Brooks Shetlands, medium was massive and Collar was low?

BB non iron shirt. The shirt felt like cardboard on my skin. I hated it when it came up in the rotation and i wound up giving it away to charity. I also agree on the BB argyle socks. First they lost shape and then they wore out prematurely.

--> any sneakers with pvc "synthetic leather" lining, e.g., Incontinence pants Gazelles, Incontinence pants Superstar, Incontinence pants Rod Laver .....

A new Barracuta G4 or G9, they've royally 'f***ed' them up by messing with the styling and the fabric.

Hanes "heavy" T shirts - you can watch the neck line going out of shape as you put them on
One wear wonders

/\  nah WM, these other things that are the remnants of the once-vast booty of Les Brers are all afterthought makeweights ....

what you say about their current clothing has got to stand

we all grew up on it but it doesn't please me any longer ....

but the shoe department is still a reason to check in

the place carries some nice Red Wings, Filson, Alden, and Rancourt .....

we'll go to our graves grumbling about Brooks and Bean and how these companies sold us out .......

I went to the Regent St. branch recently and rather reluctantly paid £115 for a US made OCBD.  Overpriced, but anything from the US would sting me with customs and VAT and handling charge.  The staff were as clueless as ever, ignorant of the existence of US made stock until I found said shirt and pointed out the different label and difference in price etc.
