French Cuffs & Rep Ties

Lisa and I walked into Brooks Brothers today and we walked out with three dress shirts, three ties, and three hundred fewer dollars between us. I bought the shirts, and my sweetie pie was kind enought to foot the bill for my ties. For years, I've drooled over their catalog, and it feels weird (in the best possible way) to have their shirts and ties hanging in my closet. I've read a lot of American literature, and whether it's Faulkner at the start of the twentieth century, or Tom Wolfe at the start of the twenty first century, Brooks Brothers is an American fashion icon, and I've finally been able to try it for myself.
