I will probably give one a try and see how I like it. I'm moderate/small busted so "straight" may work for me. :)</p> <p>And I'll definitely be checking out your thread, Shannon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-owners---worth-it#post-556503 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 03:31:44 +0000 taylor 556503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well worth every penny:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-owners---worth-it#post-556497 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 03:28:52 +0000 Transcona Shannon 556497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Andrea - I've been inquiring about the BB shirts as well. Thought you might enjoy reading the replies in my thread in case they are useful to you - <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-brooks-brothers-shirts-1" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....s-shirts-1</a>. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-owners---worth-it#post-556376 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 00:47:31 +0000 Janet 556376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one in black and one in white and I am quite impressed so far. The no-iron claim stands true. For my body type, the style that only buttons up part way is the winner -- the other one is cut too straight in the body for me. </p> <p>My alternate pick is the BR white shirt. It does need a little ironing despite the non-iron claim, but it fits well and is well made for the price </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-owners---worth-it#post-556244 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 20:21:01 +0000 Anonymous 556244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>... And another ditto for Express essential shirts. The button placement on them is brilliant. No gaping whatsoever, even if you go for a more snug fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-owners---worth-it#post-556242 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 20:19:40 +0000 Anonymous 556242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a recent convert, I would say yes, the quality jumps right at you, it is undeniable. I own two, but I can see myself getting a couple more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-owners---worth-it#post-556234 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 20:08:37 +0000 Lisa 556234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore my BB shirts, I like the crisp material. I also like Express shirts, which are a tad easier on the wallet. They do require ironing but layer really well. My BB shirts, I actually prefer on their own. I find the stiff material a tad difficult to layer with for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-owners---worth-it#post-556231 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 20:06:45 +0000 anchie 556231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me it is. I have two and they are by far my favorite and most often worn button downs. I only regret that I did not buy more when I had a chance because I can not buy theme here where I live. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-owners---worth-it#post-556229 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 20:06:18 +0000 Angie 556229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah was inbetween sizes and fits - and it's totally understandable that she returned them. Rotten luck, Sarah :(. Glad that you love your Gaps! </p> <p>I LOVE my BB's shirts and have found them 100% worth the expense. I have 5 (3 white, 1 black and a grey). They function like basic tees in my wardrobe. Roomy, yet fitted. And very crisp. </p> <p>Andrea, I have clients that preferred AT, BR and the Loft button down shirts. And my more apple shaped clients are smitten with Foxcroft. Some even J. Crew and H&amp;M. </p> <p>I would experiment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-owners---worth-it#post-556215 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 19:52:31 +0000 sarah 556215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Andrea, I think I'm in the minority here - I tried them and returned them, as I didn't love them enough more than my Gap button downs to make the price worth it. BUT, they also didn't fit me well, as the sleeves were long, and I had to size up make them fit in the bust. But that 's just me, and I hope that others who love them chime in as well. You are not petite (I don't think), so they might fit you really well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-owners---worth-it#post-556209 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 19:38:52 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 556209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone,</p> <p>I am in need of a good, classic white button down and am considering the non-iron tailored BB shirt. The price is quite dear for me so I am wondering how much folks who have them love them. </p> <p>I realize that they are stiff, and that's what I'm looking for - something very sharp and crisp as well as versatile. </p>
