Once again, a really nice article. Where is your Pinterest page? (By the way, "in lieu of" means "in the place of." I think you meant, "considering," or something like that. Great article and keep on writing.)

I too remember my first visit to Brooks Brothers, their flagship store at 347 Madison Avenue in New York. Being that I was quite young, a salesman directed me up to the top floor, where they had their Brooksgate selection, where I bought a dark blue business suit and a selection of OCBDs (40% polyester, 60% cotton, not much of a collar roll, but this was their line for young gentlemen, quite billowy in the sides, I later had them taken in at a tailor).

Sad to say, the flagship store is now a café. But a block away is J. Press.

Thank you James! You’re correct, considering would have been more appropriate. I’ll be sure to link my Pinterest below!
