Brooks Brothers is the oldest clothing store in the United States. It was started in New York in 1818 which makes it almost 200 years old. They were the first clothier to pioneer ready-made suits in 1850, when back then all new suits were custom made by a tailor and needed to be ordered weeks in advance. Since then the company has offered many firsts to their customers and has grown to offer all types of apparel and shoes for men, women, and youth. Brooks Brothers is a high end clothier and has the prestige of outfitting 39 of the 44 American Presidents plus many stars of Hollywood. Currently you can buy Brooks Brothers clothes and shoes online or at one of their 210 stores across the United States, and 70 stores found in over 20 other countries.
