Display of the Legendary Coat Worn by President Lincoln (Replica)






Founded in 1818 by Henry Sands Brooks, Brooks Brothers has since dressed American presidents, including Lincoln, and Hollywood stars, building its history as the quintessential brand of American traditional style.

For this custom order service, customers can choose from three models: the most traditional Brooks Brothers box silhouette, the "Madison" three-button, single-breasted suit; the "Fitzgerald" slim-fit suit, a two-button style inspired by the brand's archives; and the "Milano" fashionable two-button suit, designed with recent trends in mind. Orders will be produced at "Southwick," the brand's own factory in America, with an estimated delivery time of approximately two months. Shirts are also available for custom order, meticulously crafted at the brand's own shirt factory in North Carolina.

The "Own Make" collection features classic elements from the brand's archives for materials and details, with sizing updated for a contemporary fit. All pieces are made in America's own factories, truly embodying the iconic Brooks Brothers collection. Additionally, a display will showcase the brand's journey as America's oldest apparel company and the legendary frock coat (replica) made by Brooks Brothers for President Lincoln.
