I just got the Brooks Brothers Catalog today and am thinking about picking up a BrookCool suit. It is reportedly lighter, more breathable and water resistant.
Has anyone gotten any of these suits or shirts before? It's going to be hot this summer in NYC and I don't want to come back after happy hour dripping in sweat.
Thanks!

I would be interested to know as well. For me, sweating in a suit is the ninth circle of Hell, just like bad hangovers and blue balls.
"A blend of wool, polyester and Lycra". Has anybody had any experience with this mix? The polyester is a BIG alarm for me as far as summer is concern.
If their wool is tropical weight then that's fine (i'm guessing it is since they claim the suit is lighter)
I hope this is a good alternative but based on the fabric mix I'm quite skeptical. Linen and cotton wrinkle...and regular wool is deadly
The polyester is for wrinkle-resistance.
BrooksCool suits 2 for $899 (Originally Posted: 04/02/2013)
Brooks Brothers has this sale going on and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with these suits? They seem like great suits for the summer months. Worth the price? Pros cons?
They definitely don't feel as nice as the 1818s. $450 isn't a steal either -- you can get 1818s for like $600 during one of the corporate/F&F sales
I only fly out to Savile these days for my threaded wool.
Why not just put $900 towards custom suits/clothing? Tom James has solid packages. May run you more than $900 for two suits, but they'll be custom fit. Nothing beats it.
i am also interested in hearing what people think about this deal
