My uncle was manager of Brooks Brothers, my mother worked for BB and my step father worked for BB you could say my family was in the rag business. How BB never went after RL for taking their colors, style of the polo shirt and even the BB stripe on their ties, RL took the whole BB style and made it his. Even down to the British style of BB clothes. I wore the BB clothes and now wear the RL clothes. Instead of the ''Golden Fleece'' on my polo shirts, it's the polo player design.
