Brooks Brothers jeans really are a match made in L,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
The organization that gave the world the button-down shirt and the folks who invented nowhere jean have joined forces,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
That was the news a week ago when it had been announced that a couple of probably the most storied brands within the American male wardrobe -- Brooks Brothers and Levi Strauss -- were rolling out a five-pocket denim collaboration. the Slim Straight) styles -- continued sale July 29 at Brooks website and select retail locations (such as the Rodeo Drive flagship store), for $148 (more than double the amount price of regular Levi but similar to other five-pocket jeans sold through Brooks website).
It the latest illustration of the style industry ongoing passion for collaboration. Brooks Bros.,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], obviously, has famously collaborated with designer Thom Browne for its Black Fleece collection. They come in La. Credit: Levis Strauss.
While I actually do such as the product,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], this doesn come like a surprise. Every major American brand is following the same strategy. After working the final 20 years relocating manufacturing to low-cost countries,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], switching to cheaper material sources,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and reducing their products for their least common denominators for the masses,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], these companies are now "releasing" (really re-releasing) a lower-volume,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], high quality type of Produced in the USA products weight loss "authentic" for that affluent upper-middle class. They are truly the same USA products you or your parents bought 20+ yrs ago,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], only now at a 50-150% mark-up. US labor isn cheap,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and lower volumes mean higher costs. That said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if you're able to afford it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you do end up getting the better quality,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], more durable product created using more attention to detail and "craftsmanship" that you simply remembered.
It exactly the same with shoes. My favorite Made in the USA brand of quality dress shoes (albeit made of Italian leather) cost $110 in 1999. That same brand offers a set of similar shoes for $110,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], only produced in China of lower grade materials. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they now offer the original pair of Made in USA (of Italian leather) shoes like a "top-shelf" option--for $398.00!!!
