… or it’s pretentious.

Went to my local Co-op and checked em out. I liked the fit, patterns/colors, and the material (for the most part), but the craftsmanship (for the price-point) left little to be desired. I picked up one shirt and it had all kinds of loose threads at the seams; picked up another, and the same deal. Off-putting. If it were priced twice as much as the GAP, I’d have walked out of there with the shirts, but three to four times…?

Just bought a pair of the oxford lined khakis and a plaid shirt.

To all the haters (that haven’t touched, let alone tried on, anything), the difference between these guys clothes and all the GAP / OldNavy / Aeropostale / Hollister / ANF / AE big box generica is this: FIT (and, of course, fabric).

Go try on a pair of khakis from the GAP and then try on Burkman Bros. If you don’t know why there’s a price difference, stay with the GAP.

As for using themselves in their ads – shows that they stand behind their brand, that maybe they design the stuff, and would actually wear it.

I bought a few shirts at Barney’s, and these are like no others. The details are pretty amazing. The pair of shorts I tried on were lined in this butter soft oxford. I didn’t buy them (too small) but hoping the Fall pants will be as nice.

Really had no idea that the clothes would be so nice. The proof was in touching and feeling them . My sales guy at Barney’s did say that the BurkmanBros plaids are all exclusive to them, that is kind of cool.

Seeing the spring product in person makes me very excited for this fall stuff…

I cannot stand these clothes. They look frumpy and like they have been picked up from a second hand store or garage sale. If they are comfortable for some guys more power to them, but I probably have clothes like this already. Not for me.

Kesner in the West Village (at the corner of West 10th and Hudson) has a great selection of Burkman Bros . I just bought four pieces today.

Great service too….

this collections looks like an over priced gap collection. The fact they use themselves as models is incredibly narcesstic. I though the point of design is too make other people feel great and sexy. The brand seems all about them and nothing about the customers. Out of touch!

Wow! The brothers have a very classy taste! Can’t wait to get my man a couple of their works. Hmm…

I think the shirts look quite nice, I do agree with the comments about them looking similar to much of the shirting out there but, but none the less they look pretty nice and I would not hesitate to pick one up

I’m with Ryan above.

Completely uninspired. Or “Misinspired” if that was a word in the english language.

I fail to understand what is interesting or original about any of these pieces, save for the “oxford-lined flannels” which look like a complete trainwreck if I’m being honest here.

I applaud the efforts of these brothers as I would any other up-and-coming designer. But you don’t get an “A” for effort alone.
