Known for its classic -- some would say staid -- styling, Brooks Brothers has been getting men dressed for nearly two centuries. Brooks Brothers is one of America's oldest retailers, specializing in men's suits and outerwear (Abe Lincoln was wearing a Brooks Brothers suit and overcoat when he was assassinated); the company also sells women's and children's apparel. Brooks Brothers operates about 180 upscale retail stores and outlet locations in the US. Through partnerships, Brooks Brothers has 100-plus stores in about 15 countries including Chile, China, Italy, and Japan. Brooks Brothers is owned by Retail Brand Alliance (RBA) and led by its colorful CEO the Italian billionaire Claudio Del Vecchio.
