If you’re making your way to New York City this holiday season to do a fair share of sight-seeing, you must take a ride in style on the Brooks Brothers Holiday Express.

Brooks Brothers, America’s oldest (and favorite) retailer, has transformed the 42nd street shuttle train in Midtown Manhattan into a ride of holiday bliss. If you love everything about the brand, it’s an one of a kind experience that you won’t want to miss.

The train car exteriors have been dressed up in the brand’s signature tartan in navy, red, and gold, which mirrors the exclusive pattern frequently found in Brooks Brothers collections as well as its holiday packaging.

Once you take a step inside the Holiday Express, you’ll be blown away by the Brooks Brothers themed interior. The 42nd street train welcomes more than 100,000 daily riders into a Brooks Brothers environment inspired by the Madison Avenue Flagship (another must-visit while in the Big Apple) which is located just two blocks from Grand Central Station. The interior features upholstered flannel pinstripe seats accessorized with signature rep stripe pillows, mahogany wood paneling, and framed photos, while shelves are stacked with holiday gift suggestions including ties, dress and sport shirts, knitwear and accessories for men and women.

Also a theme on the Holiday Express are Brooks Brothers fundraising efforts on behalf of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign. The holidays should be a cheerful time for everyone, and Brooks Brothers is a model company for their philanthropic efforts to make that happen. This is the season of giving, and Brooks Brothers has made every penny count. Since 2005, the iconic American brand has raised more than $14 million to support the St. Jude mission of finding cures and saving children battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

Banana Republic’s New Jeans Are Changing the Way Denim Is Made

Doing things sustainably in the fashion industry -- one that can sometimes cut corners in favor of churning out the latest and greatest -- isn’t always easy. And that’s doubly so when it comes to crafting men’s denim, one of the most energy and resource-intensive products on the market -- and yet, Banana Republic’s remarkable new Dry Indigo Denim is changing the way denim is made by using a heck of a lot less water than normal in the process. 

By a heck of a lot less water, to be precise, we mean that Banana Republic’s new denim line is made using 99% (yes, 99%) less water than conventional denim, to go along with 89% fewer chemicals, reducing energy usage by a whopping 65% in the process. It’s the foam-dyeing process that cuts down on energy and water usage so effectively, while at the same time delivering a pair of jeans with the same look, fit, and feel as traditional (less eco-conscious) denim.
