Brooks Brothers, the standby of North
America's Ivy League classes has subtly built
a global presence from Malaysia to Scotland
since Italian entrepreneur Claudio del Vecchio
bought it a few years ago. Now it's courting
famous designers such as Thom Browne, who
has come up with a range called black fleece,
testing "design options" while remaining "true
to the essence of the Brooks Brothers legacy."
