No clothing company has shaped the preppy aesthetic as much as Brooks Brothers. For generations, it was the home of the best American suiting and wardrobe staples for a WASP-y East Coast lifestyle. The brand truly peaked in the public’s imagination with the yuppies of the ’80s, although the company history actually dates back to 1818, officially making BB the oldest operating American apparel brand.
