Black Fleece by Brooks Brothers

Revolutionary menswear fashion designer Thom Browne continues to break boundaries with his fall 2010 collection for Black Fleece.

Browne incorporates classic preppy staples and turns them into bold fashion statements that appeal to younger and more modern men who've grown weary of the now ubiquitous "Trad" trend. The street version of this style has become synonymous with newer labels that often deliver the look in cheap fabrics and without the cut.

Mixing different plaid patterns or stripes in one look and patchwork gray flannel are just a few examples that keep the collection sizzling hot among customers who might normally gravitate towards more avant-garde fashion houses. The overall look is directional to classic at the hands of Browne but with every piece rendered in high-quality textiles, the result is polished and smart.

Browne's signature abbreviated silhouette is also given more leeway at Black Fleece making it attractive to bigger and muscular men who like to look stylish without forgoing the gym. The collection stands alone as the most fashion-forward version of menswear with an iconic American air.
