This morning I got an email from Brooks Brothers announcing a new line of clothes they call "Black Fleece". When I checked out what they were offering I thought they must be kidding. Unfortunately, they are not. That has to be just about the most absurd collection of high camp design ever foisted off on people who have here-to-fore trusted Brooks Bros. It is so limp I think it would have embarrassed Oscar Wilde. I'm not qualified to comment on the women's clothes, but I wouldn't touch the men's stuff with a ten foot barge pole.
MacAllan 25, please check this out and advise your thoughts.

The less said about the Brooks Brothers women's line the better, as a general rule.

I figured it was supposed to be a "twist" on the school girl fantasy.
