Take the website--it feels blah in a BR kind of way, not really capturing any potential excitement of the brand. I believe there is a way to inject that feeling into the marketing, without losing the core customer. For example, at Nike.com you feel the brand, same with Etiqueta Negra's site,as well as Rugby.com.Marcellushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866202579379846429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895647038898538515.post-21237676239381002352010-08-03T00:35:13.551-04:002010-08-03T00:35:13.551-04:00How slim are these compared to Rugby shirting?How slim are these compared to Rugby shirting?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895647038898538515.post-89297962789241796732010-08-02T21:15:55.769-04:002010-08-02T21:15:55.769-04:00Extra slim fit and BB, pure heresy.

I went into a BB a couple months back, and their regular "slim fit" fit me like I was wearing a parachute. Yet the only colors they had in the extra slim were just regular white, blue, pink.

I mentioned that in the post. They were selling the flap pocket oxford shirts on Gilt.<br /><br />"I ordered the red striped oxford shirt and have yet to see any package at my door; now I can get this direct from BB? What's up with that?"<br /><br />Gilt specifically noted that all purchases of that sale would ship in August. Just like if you ordered online with BB today. The Gilt sale was a glorified pre-order.<br /><br />Hope that clears everything up.L.A.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794979185698861626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895647038898538515.post-30113750885275852652010-08-02T18:32:22.653-04:002010-08-02T18:32:22.653-04:00unless you're rocking some extra fat double wi...unless you're rocking some extra fat double windsor tie the rugby and BB collars are perfect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895647038898538515.post-61564182548144071572010-08-02T17:24:58.001-04:002010-08-02T17:24:58.001-04:00BB is late to the party again.
