Anyone with any appreciation for traditional men's clothing wishes for Brooks Brothers to regain its past glory. The popularity of "dress casual" some years back, among other things, certainly took a toll on the company.
The Daily Telegraph reports on Claudio del Vecchio's efforts to restore the old-fashioned standards that made Brooks:
"We changed everything," says del Vecchio. "A lot of it we changed back to what it was before."
An interesting bit is that del Vecchio claims the late Gianni Agnelli -- jet-set fashion icon and Fiat chief -- wore Brooks Brothers shirts.
