First, Brooks Brothers left their new Bleecker Street space dormant and empty for months, but with Fashion Week hustling up quite soon, they've had to do a lightning fast renovation to bring about Thom Browne's Black Fleece dream.

When we strolled by in the pouring rain of yesterday evening, we noticed that the place is spick and span and ready to sell some spiffyness. Looks like that projected grand opening date of Sunday, February 1st is no myth after all.
