  1. When Broks was Brooks-far cry from what is has become.

  2. There's still good stuff at Brooks, you just need to pick around the store for it. It's no longer a simple matter anymore of finding what you want as soon as you walk in.

  3. I was under the impression that the Brooks No. 2. suit was introduced around 1961, and the Brooks No. 3 around 1968. The fact that there was a Brooks No. 4 suit in 1948 is a bit of a puzzler...
