The logo, a sheep suspended in a ribbon, has served as a symbol of fine wool since the fifteenth century, when Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy—an area renowned for its woolen fabrics—founded the Order of the Golden Fleece in 1430 as an enduring gift for his wife, Isabella of Portugal. Reflecting its association to the symbol of fine woolens, the Knights of the Golden Fleece were among the best dressed and the most colorful in all of chivalric Europe. When the four Brooks brothers painted this lamb over their door, they used the icon to symbolize the European tradition on which the company based its early identity. Behind those doors, customers would find quality, heritage, and excellence. 5 Star ***** Blazer
