Lately we’ve heard a bit of griping from some hard core traditionalists that the Brooks Brothers Red Fleece lineup is just too far away from the brands core customer.  Well, we happen to disagree wholeheartedly with that mindset.  Sure, some of the pieces are a bit over the top, but, for the most part, we find the collection to be made up of a number of traditional pieces that simply feature a more modern fit, or, in some cases, a small twist on a classic prep staple.  One of our favorite pieces in the Red Fleece line is the recently released Lambswool Striped V-Neck Sweater.

It’s no secret that we are suckers for repp stripes, and this sweater features what we consider the quintessential Brooks Brothers repp stripe color combination of maroon, navy and gold.  Paired with a light heather grey base, the stripes simply look fantastic.  Made from 100% lambswool, we’re hoping we don’t have to break this sweater out anytime soon, but we know it will see some heavy use in the coming months over just about everything.  Whether you’re heading to campus or the office, you won’t go wrong with this one.
