 PROFILE
Known for its classic -- some would say staid -- styling, Brooks Brothers has been getting men dressed for nearly two centuries. Established in 1818 by Henry Sands Brooks, Brooks Brothers is one of America's oldest retailers, specializing in men's suits; it introduced the seersucker suit to America in 1830 and has dressed US presidents starting with Abe Lincoln. Brooks Brothers operates 80 retail stores and about 75 outlet locations in the US. Through partnerships abroad, Brooks Brothers has about 90 stores in Japan, Hong Kong, Italy, and Taiwan. Struggling UK retailer Marks and Spencer -- Brooks Brothers' parent since 1988 -- plans to sell the Brooks Brothers chain to focus on its M&S chain.
