I would say yes, the Brooks Bros. is comparable quality to the my Burberry London Harbourne. I see from your other comment that you are still thinking about your own Burberry, though, so I don't want to give a blanket, "BB = Burberry." I think you have to compare the exact coats.</p> <p>I honestly do think that BB materials make it a better deal than most of the Brit line, hands down. However, some of the Burberry London trenches are definitely superior. The London cotton gabardine feels more luxurious and expensive, and was it you that let me know it's actually waterproof? Some of that line, every seam is stitched at least 2X, if not 3X or 5X, and the tailoring is phenomenal.&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't think I have seen your style in person, so I'm not sure how the BB would compare specifically. Hopefully I have helped some and not just confused you more. o_0 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-sale-is-pushing-my-buttons#post-964296 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 16:21:15 +0000 ElleH 964296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just saw this after your latest post. So you have seen it in person. Does it look as good as your Burberry?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-sale-is-pushing-my-buttons#post-964288 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 16:18:08 +0000 rae 964288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Customer service review added here:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://onedollarwonders.lookfab.com/post/customer-service-reviews-brooks-brothers-shoprunner">http://onedollarwonders.lookfa.....shoprunner</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-sale-is-pushing-my-buttons#post-964267 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 15:39:25 +0000 Inge 964267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, brilliant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-sale-is-pushing-my-buttons#post-964265 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 15:37:59 +0000 rae 964265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Was able to order after a small hassle. The coat sold out in my size&nbsp;online! After many days with only the size 2 running out. Bah. I was going to tell the tale here, but I'm going to do a separate post about the service experience, and I will link to it here. :)</p> <p>Bottom line - it is on its way to me!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-sale-is-pushing-my-buttons#post-964182 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 13:51:43 +0000 Thistle 964182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Enabling here.&nbsp; You could use&nbsp;a light colored one, especially after your trench purge&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-sale-is-pushing-my-buttons#post-964175 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 13:42:20 +0000 Transcona Shannon 964175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Suz said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-sale-is-pushing-my-buttons#post-964142 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 12:58:16 +0000 Suz 964142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a trench has become part of your signature style. And it works for your climate. And living where you do, you need a light or colorful one (or both) in addition to dark ones.&nbsp;</p> <p>So there.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-sale-is-pushing-my-buttons#post-963999 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 05:39:04 +0000 rae 963999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Natalie, I think I sold six a while back that did not function well for various reasons. Poly linings, no travel weight version, not able to fit a sweater under, no pockets, not water resistant...</p> <p>I acyually did try to order this one, but the site is not accepting my free shipping service. Will call in the am... I guess it is good to sleep on it a bit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-sale-is-pushing-my-buttons#post-963990 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 05:15:15 +0000 goldenpig 963990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wait, I could have sworn you had more than three trenches...did you sell or return the rest? Wasn't there a citron one or something? You look so good in trenches...they're part of your signature style. So no wonder you want to add more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-sale-is-pushing-my-buttons#post-963967 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 03:47:39 +0000 catgirl 963967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know I don't own a single trench yet, right? :-)</p> <p>I think the issue is whether you're reached wardrobe saturation per Angie's post. There are some items where too much is not enough, and others where you can never get enough of what you don't really need. Two direct U2 quotes! Which is this situation? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-sale-is-pushing-my-buttons#post-963960 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 03:38:37 +0000 MNsara 963960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay I don't know southern CA weather, but it does seem that you could use a lighter color fabric (i.e. not suede) trench.&nbsp; Black doesn't cover all situations IMHO.&nbsp; And suede doesn't cover all weather!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>ETA:&nbsp; what's the trench in pic #2?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-sale-is-pushing-my-buttons#post-963958 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 03:34:59 +0000 rae 963958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, right now I have these three. Suede, a very light packable, and the black Burberry from Ebay. Is that too many?&nbsp;I don't think I can part with any of those... but maybe some other things. I have too many jeans, and maybe some boots that have too high heels?</p> <p>I really miss the cinnamon trench I used to have. :T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-sale-is-pushing-my-buttons#post-963957 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 03:32:17 +0000 MNsara 963957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know how many trenches anyone needs (I have more than one ;-)), but I do know that I have all these trendy items in my Nordstrom shopping cart (online), and as I scroll down past the first 30 items, I suddenly encounter the Longchamps tote, and the Burberry trench I picked so long ago, and I see the calm and sensibility of selecting classics like those!&nbsp;&nbsp; Of course, I'm waaay more classic than you are, but there's a reason trenches are iconic!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-sale-is-pushing-my-buttons#post-963955 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 03:29:47 +0000 Ana 963955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could you replace one of your current trench coats with this one? Like a one in-one out sort of a thing? Sometimes I can justify purchases that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-sale-is-pushing-my-buttons#post-963953 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 03:27:42 +0000 rae 963953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where is the button to appreciate enabling? lol&nbsp;</p> <p>I hear you, Sara. Back then I convinced myself I could not wear that color. But now I have a blazer in that color that I really love. Ack... how many trench coats does a person need? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-sale-is-pushing-my-buttons#post-963948 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 03:20:39 +0000 MNsara 963948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, like you tried it on, know your size,&nbsp;know it looks good, and all that . . . ?<br />Just asking </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-sale-is-pushing-my-buttons#post-963933 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 03:02:14 +0000 rae 963933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got my Spago dress shirts today, and I absolutely love them! Size 2 fits nice and tailored with no bust gape. Also kept the size for for a slightly more relaxed look. Perfect length to wear tucked or untucked.&nbsp;</p> <p>As I sit here and pet my pretties, cooing at the cut and quality,&nbsp;I wish I could somehow justify this this tan trench, too. I ogled it in person earlier this year when it was full price. Now it's half off... but I really shouldn't. Even if it does have a removable wool liner. Really.&nbsp;</p> <p>I guess this company just knows how to keep me coming back for more... </p>
