Mr. Peskowitz over at men.style, report in on the opening of the New York City Brooks Brothers Black Fleece Flagship store. “Recession be damned, the first freestanding Black Fleece store is set to open this weekend—though in fairness, the store met with months of delays due to the landmark status of its West Village location. Inside, you’ll find exactly what you’d expect: the Thom Browne-designed Brooks Brothers offshoot’s entire spring collection, including (for gents) paisley pants, plaid shirts, and, of course, suits.”

Get the full scoop and some nice interior shots of the Brooks Brothers Black Fleece hideout at men.style.

The latest from Brooks Brothers’ Black Fleece Collection has arrived with some brilliantly updates trad looks as designed by Thom Browne. Proper coats, like the camel hair duffle overcoat, and a great variety of shirts, ties, and knits, and Browne’s signature slacks bring this collection right to the top of any businessman’s wishlist. Black Fleece is produced at the source for the best quality possible – suits in Italy, cardigans in Scotland, and cotton shirts in the USA. The Black Fleece collection is available online at Brooks Brothers.

The Nusraty Afghan Imports storefront at Bleeker and Christopher Streets has been sitting empty since the store shuttered in August, waiting for the arrival of the Brooks Brothers’ fashion-forward line Black Fleece from Thom Browne. Now, after two months of no development, there are igns of life. In the window, there’s a sign announcing the change and promising a fall opening. Knowing Mr.Browne, it should be interesting.
