I had the good fortune of stopping at Brooks and meeting Brian Woon. He helped me with some items and then we found out he's a Member here on the Forum!!
He's very knowledgeable.

Drop in and say hello! I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you're not in the area to call if you're looking for something special.

Seems like there was a post here that Brooks was out of business in Orange Country, CA. Not so! They did move several years back from South Coast Plaza to this location in Fashion Island shopping center. We even did a "Caution Men Shopping" excursion to visit the new shop.

On Black Friday of all days I unexpectedly got to meet and assist Andy Gilchrist, one of the foremost authorities on classic men's style and menswear. I meet my share of celebrities of all levels but meeting this gentleman was special as his work was immensely helpful in the formative years of my luxury retail career.

The standards are always high at Ralph Lauren and our team goal was always to be a standard bearer of the brand. The quality of advice bestowed upon our clients should mirror the quality of our goods! No less! And that has always stayed with me since.

I know! But I look that way since I'd been 5 hours of shopping on Black Friday! :crazy:
