Excellent question! The US Navy Exchange (NEXCOM) sells the Brooks Brothers uniforms called their U.S. Navy Premier collection. The male coats are $399 and the trousers are $180. We currently sell a coat and trousers together for $375.

Both uniforms are a 100% worsted wool fabric. Brooks Brothers use an exclusive Teflon treatment that repels water and stains. We do not offer this treatment to our Navy Uniform.

Our factory is a military uniform manufacturer whereas Brooks Brothers manufacture some military uniforms. A portion of the cost difference is tied to the Brooks Brothers label (brand name).

I hope this information helps. If you have any additional questions, let us know. We are eager to help.

The Navy Service Dress Blue is made of 100% tropical worsted wool. Our fabrics are certified to be within regulation for the US Navy.

Sir,
All orders placed online come unaltered. The sleeves, hem, braid, and patches will need to be applied by a local tailor. We ask for measurements when ordering online to ensure you selected the right size for your shape. As our pattern runs much smaller than your average jean size. For example, if you wear a 32R in your jeans, you will more than likely wear a 34R in your ASU trousers. For females, they will wear anywhere from 4 to 6 sizes larger than what is worn in their civilian jeans and dress sizes.
If you make an appointment at our Kansas or Virginia store, or attend one of our fitting visits, we will complete the alterations for an additional fee. Those prices can be accessed on our alterations page.
