Brooks Brothers

Brooks Brothers is the oldest men's clothier chain in the United States. Founded in 1818 as a family business, the privately owned company now is owned by Retail Brand Alliance, a division of Luxottica, also features clothing for women, and is headquartered on Madison Avenue in Manhattan, New York City.

Currently, there are 210 Brooks Brothers stores in the United States and 70 in other countries, including Japan, China, Taiwan, Dubai, France, England, Scotland, Chile, Canada, Italy, and Greece. In 1998, Brooks Brothers launched its official website.

The symbol of the Golden Fleece is Brooks Brothers' trademark. It consists of a sheep suspended in a ribbon, which was the symbol of Flemish wool merchants in the fifteenth century and later, traditionally had been a symbol of British wool merchants. In Classical Greek mythology, a magical ram's skin, or Golden Fleece, was sought by Jason and the Argonauts. United States flagship stores are in Manhattan, Chicago, Boston, and Beverly Hills.
