When did Brooks Brothers start?

Brooks Brothers began in 1818, founded by Henry Sands Brooks in New York City. It was the first American brand to introduce ready-made clothing, transforming how professionals purchased tailored garments. The company’s early success came from its focus on consistent sizing, fine wool fabrics, and service to the emerging business elite of the 19th century.

From a manufacturing and heritage standpoint, the 1818 origin marks a turning point in industrialized tailoring. Brooks Brothers bridged bespoke craftsmanship with scalable production—an early form of modern OEM apparel systems. For factories today, it serves as proof that longevity and process integrity define sustainable fashion brands far more than trend cycles.
