The Definition of Personal Style
Since 1818, Brooks Brothers has pioneered the art of fine shirtmaking, crafting dress shirts that have defined the wardrobes some of the most distinguished gentlemen that America—and indeed the world-has ever known. But a tradition of excellence is by no means an excuse for standing still in the face of changing times. Innovation is one of our most dearly-held company values, leading to the creation of both our much-imitated Polo button-down collar in 1896 and pure cotton non-iron shirt exactly 100 years later.
True to our history, we continue to enhance our shirt collection with innovations that are as functional as they are handsome. Our special order non-iron dress shirts, for example, provide the gentleman with the option to create his very own version of practical luxury. Begin by selecting a cloth, a desired fit, and your choice of collar and cuffs ... then leave it to us to cut and craft a shirt that is both unique and yet part of the great menswear tradition, both yours and yet undeniably Brooks.

The Original Polo® Button-Down
 he story of the original Polo® Button-Down dates to the late 1800s. While on a European buying trip, John E. Brooks, the grandson of our founder, observed that polo players had cleverly anchored their collars to their shirts by means of buttons, thus keeping their collars from flying into their faces during gameplay. Inspired by what he saw, he came back to Brooks and introduced the original Polo Button-Down to America that same year, thereby changing the face of menswear forever.
While the button-down may seem ubiquitous today, the magnitude of the revolution Brooks sparked when he introduced the collar cannot be understated. Prior to the Polo Button-Down, it was standard practice for men to purchase their shirts and collars separately. The much-imitated Button-Down was the beginning of the end of this practice, which is all but eliminated today except in the most formal shirtings, the full-dress shirt, which is most suitably worn with tails. Today, Brooks Brothers shirts featuring the original Polo Button-Down collar remain a staple in the wardrobe of well-dressed gentlemen who maintain an appreciation for the classic style of one of Brooks' best-loved contributions to men's dress.

 NON-IRON STORY rooks Brothers debuted its first-ever wash-and-wear blended
cotton dress shirt —the Brooksweave— in 1953. True to our
heritage of combining innovation and modern advances, our
non-iron dress shirts are created using some of the most superb cotton fabrics, finely woven exclusively for Brooks Brothers
by one of the world's premier fabric mills.
Our non-iron shirts are designed to look good from morning to night. Taped, pucker-free seams, plus our assortment of styles and color options, make our non-iron shirts the ultimate expression of refinement for all fine gentlemen. Our ongoing commitment to innovation combined with the superior performance and details of our fabrics set the standard by which all non-iron shirts are judged, making Brooks Brothers the renowned leader in the art of fine shirtmaking yesterday and today.
The Stand-Out Feature on Any Dress Shirt is its Collar
The collar provides both a frame for the face and a frame for the knot that peeks out from between its points. When choosing a collar, opt for a collar that balances your face: narrower faces call for wider spreads, fuller faces call for a smaller distance between points. Likewise, when choosing a knot, choose one that complements your collar—smaller knots work well with button- down or straight point collars, like our forward point, while larger knots look best with spread collars, such as our ainsley collar.
