I had to send back 6 Brooks Brothers OCBD’s because the monogramming was too large in the font I wanted. These came back just in time for vacation. I had them reduced now they are small and discrete, like monogramming should be. Back home for two weeks in the room I grew up in. It’s true, you can come home again.
Since I already wear my heart on my sleeve, I might as well add a monogram.
Close up of the New Original Polo Brooks Brothers label. They brought back the “Makers” mark. American cotton, shipped to Japan to be made into cloth, then shipped back to Garland, NC to be cut and assembled. Seems awfully inefficient.
Welcome home.
I decided to organize my unworn shirts tonight (These are just the ones that haven’t been unwrapped). Profile on addiction take 1.
If you’re going to break your vow, do it with class and style… Said no one ever. Last week laying around the house for a few days recovering from gum surgery, I shot off an email to Mercer, with out much thought and ordered 3 new white OCBD’s. They have my info and CC on file. So it was rather frictionless. I realized after I sent in my order that I shouldn’t be doing this, but I didn’t lift a finger to halt it. So, $380.00 spent on clothes in 2016 as of this date. I’ve sold 1,000’s though, but that wasn’t the point of no new clothes. I’ll blame it on boredom and the pain. Back on the wagon… But looking rather fresh if I may say so.
Tried on The New Original Polo Brooks Brothers OCBD. I like it, I like the fact that I can go a mile down the road and buy an American made unlined rolled-collar shirt.
NOS BB Makers utterly delicious OCBD… Just washed, hang dried, ready to dedicate it’s life sheltering my body.
