Wait...just wait. You mean that lovely store is in Manhattan? Looks like I'm taking the train to NY very soon.

Yes, the main BB store, head upstairs and you'll find it. Wish I had more time to browse. And wish I'd bought some garter ties. My hose kept sliding down the whole trip!! Or maybe even some nice hose.

Sounds like fun....when in NYC, have fun! Love the Brooks Brothers shop....I poked my head in the Chicago Brooks Brothers last year and asked when they were going to open their kilt department and got met by the blankest expressions that I have ever seen on grown men with tape measures hung about their necks....so lucky you, you got to see the real one!

Best

Wonderful photos, thanks for sharing.

As a long-time, avid wearer and loyal patron of both Brooks Brothers and Kinloch Anderson, Brooks Brothers' flagship store in the heart of Manhattan is a definite must see for me the next time I am in New York. I couldn't think of a better marriage than that of Kinloch Anderson and Brooks Brothers...it's as if both companies read my mind!

Cheers,

I have been to Caledonia, it is way uptown in Yorktown, which was once a German neighborhood. Small place but nice, although it can get crowded.
