Seems like I always have to buy either the Friday shirts or regular dress shirts to find something without a logo stitched on it. Some of the sweaters do not have logos. Personally, I think BB should leave the logos to Ralph Lauren and others although I do like that one sweater with Henry the Architect on it. I just think that logos are so 90s; we already know that it is BB and we aren't buying it for that reason. I shouldn't have to buy a suit just to go logo free.

My real issue with Brooks Brothers are their polo shirts. Collars are shit. The good thing about the spandex is that the shirts aren't wrinkled and don't shrink but PRL polo shirts, when done right, don't wrinkle and shrink either. Some of what's sold at Marshalls and Burlington is a different conversation but still.

Brooks Brothers, from what I can tell, is only at a handful of retailers anyway. Nordstrom, DXL and the factory outlet stores. Probably more than that if you're in New York City. I actually like the fact my local Macy's doesn't carry them. Especially considering the quality of brands at that story that are almost always better when found elsewhere.

But again, yes I can get a BB original polo shirt for a fraction of the price on sale but that's about what it's worth. I don't mind paying $100 for a RL polo shirt when I can get the quality. Even though I like BB designs better, I am resigned to dealing with the post modern schtick that RL has become.

Edit

These are all great suggestions. I really do want that 1950s through 1980s and the only way to do that is lose 100 pounds and buy vintage. Brooks does have some interesting finds on their vintage section; not a lot of it is out there anymore I'd probably have to go to NYC or some other large city to find it without dealing with the Internet. RRL is good for cosplay but I think I'd prefer regular attire, not 1970s Westworld costume designer or anything like that.

In my experience, some apps like HBO Max allow users to have simultaneous subscriptions directly with Warner as well as through Google Play and this causes a lot of confusion. Even with the same email address. So I have a subscription that ends on June 24 and another one with a promotion that renews on July 11, which is a lower price that Warner gave me to keep me as a consumer since I tried to cancel. I'm actually paying twice, which I've done before with HBO Max.

Another app like this is Peacock. I've never been able to obtain Peacock through Google Play. I can obtain it through partnerships they have with Apple and Amazon.

So my actual question is that if these services undermine Google Play and the App Store by offering better deals why are we using them to obtain subscriptions to services in the first place? Billing issues are easier to deal with but aside from that it seems like we pay a premium to use Google Play.
