brooks brother is in a historical government index about the cost of goods , loaf of bread , stuff like that. a brooks brothers suit use to be worth one once of gold back when the tracking started , and when I was reading about this index about a hundred years later, a suit was still worth an once of gold. I don't shop there so couldn't;t give you up to date info.
Also read they don't sell black suits because Lincolns was wearing one when assassinated in a plot by hard core southern raciests .
