The Brooks Brothers Black Fleece 2012 Fall/Winter collection is a print-heavy line that is targeted towards the young sartorialist. Lead designer Thom Browne uses bold tartan print throughout the collection, and often times in clashing combinations. The pieces look as though they may have been retrieved from your Scottish grandfather's closet.
The gray quilted blazer is a stand out piece. A warm option that can easily go with anything and looks dressy as well, this blazer is a great addition to any wardrobe.
Black Fleece is an offshoot of Brooks Brothers and is targeted at a younger audience. The Black Fleece 2012 Fall/Winter collection is evidence of the Brooks Brothers signature quality, tailoring and design made for a younger generation. The collection is available at MATCHES and the Brooks Brothers online store now.
