Anything with any damn quality whatsoever is expensive now. Except Lodge cast iron cookware. No, that's not spam.

I wonder how they have so much new brooks stock.
A lot of the labels are scored through (seconds) or extreme sizes (18 and up).
My guess would be he/she buys up stuff from the factory store (in North Carolina) cheaply and makes a profit selling them on.
I think Liam is right, this bloke always has plenty BB and sells a lot on Styleforum.
I don't think there are enough freaks in the world to make it worth counterfeiting old Makers shirts.
I wish, wish, wish that uni stripe was 16.5-4 or 5. If I had to pick one shirt, its would be a Makers blue uni stripe.
There is this shirt, previously owned by a billionaire; http://www.ebay.com/itm/BROOKS-BROTHERS-MAKERS-LABEL-STEEL-BLUE-PINSTRIPE-DRESS-SHIRT-NICE-16-1-2-34-/200924952069?pt=US_Men_s_Dress_Shirts&hash=item2ec80f7605
It's a little too expensive/worn for my pleasure.

Plausible theory. Liam ain't as dense as you guys make him out to be.
^^ Oooh, my apologies about my previous post.
It happens. Don't sweat it.

The seller listed it as '60s deadstock though I haven't spent any time browsing other items or his/her credibility, but the full cut and generous half sleeves, collar roll and back button detailing all hit the marks for me. Love the colors too, although I didn't notice the pocket logo.
Yuma's by another name?

Searching 'Florsheim Lagos' does not give me any joy beyond what I found here.
