Brooks Brothers has failed me

A once staple of the american class, brooks brothers has fallen in terms of quality and ability to keep up.
Aside from the regent fit suit that I should have never bought because it is made for fat people, they’re shirts are an issue.

Now I have never tried their soho fit; however, their Milano slim fit is dog shit. 5’9 and 177 pounds- I’m getting fat- and theirs enough fabric on their Milano hanging off me for a sail boat. The no wrinkle shirts wrinkle at the crease of an arm, and the collars poke out over lapels at times.

I want a bigger collar to slide underneath my lapel, preferably with a little spread. I want to a fitted shirt but not skinny. And I don’t want to have to worry about wrinkles.

 

Was breezing through the fashion category looking for a good leather bag and I couldn’t help myself but stop by on this. I just ordered 6 different colored chinos, all clark fit, and I was a bit disappointed with them. They were noticeably thinner and less heavy than my original few pair of the same clark fit advantage stretch, that I’ve had for a few years now. I just dropped a lot of money and they’ve reduced the quality. Not happy. Probably the last order from brooks brothers for a little while

 

After starting my FT job I loaded up on some BB shirts. So disappointing. I seriously prefer the shirts that I bought at the mall for HS Homecoming/prom. One of young me's greatest investments.

Any recommendations for where we should go now, Monkeys? Charles Tyrwhitt are a little thin for my tastes as well.
