Brooks Brothers | A Button-Down Bankruptcy

Slate Business

About this episode

For more than a century, Brooks Brothers defined fashion for a certain kind of east coast, American elite. It’s been the clothier to nearly every US president. So how did its madras start to bleed so badly?

Podcast production by Jess Miller, with help from Madeline Ducharme, Hannah Klein, and Cleo Levin.
