Brooks Brothers Return Policy: Simplified
Returning an item can sometimes be confusing. That’s why we’ve created this simple guide to help you understand Brooks Brothers return policy. Whether you bought your item online, at an outlet, or in a regular store, we’ll walk you through the steps to make your return easy and hassle-free.
Brooks Brothers wants you to be happy with your purchase. If you’re not satisfied, you can return your item within 60 days of purchase. Here’s how you can do it.
Return Timeframe
If you are not happy with your purchase, you can return it within 60 days. Here’s what you need to know:
- Time Limit: You have 60 days from the purchase date to return the item.
- Condition: The item must be in its original condition. This means it should be unworn, unwashed, and unaltered.
- Receipt: You must have the original receipt to get a full refund.
Why is this important? The 60-day window ensures that you have enough time to decide if you want to keep the item. Having the receipt proves that you bought the item and allows Brooks Brothers to process your return quickly.
How to Start a Return
Depending on where and how you made your purchase, there are different ways to start a return:
Online Purchases:
- Visit the Online Return Portal: Go to the return portal of Brooks Brothers as shown in the image below.
- Print a Return Label: Follow the instructions to print a return label. This label will be used to send the item back.
In-Store Purchases:
- Start Online: Even if you bought the item in a store, you need to start the return process online.
- Print a Return Label: Just like with online purchases, print a return label.
Special Payment Methods:
- Apple Pay, Amazon Pay, PayPal, and Klarna: If you paid with any of these methods, you must send the item back to the returns center. You cannot return these items to a store.
Why is this important? Knowing how to start a return ensures you follow the correct steps, making the process smoother and quicker.
Return Fees
Returning an item usually costs a bit of money. Here’s the deal with return fees at Brooks Brothers:
- Standard Fee: There is a $7.00 fee for returns.
- Fee Exceptions: You won’t have to pay this fee if:
- You used the Brooks Brothers Platinum Mastercard.
- Your order was delivered damaged.
- You received the wrong item (wrong size, color, or completely different item).
- You are exchanging the item for another.
- You return items to a U.S. Brooks Brothers retail store.
Why is this important? Knowing about the fee and the exceptions helps you understand any costs involved and how to avoid them if possible.
Returning Items to a Store
If you prefer to return items to a physical store, here’s how it works:
- In-Store Returns: You can take the item to any U.S. Brooks Brothers retail store. You can locate the nearest store on their website.
- Special Payment Methods: Items paid with Apple Pay, Amazon Pay, PayPal, or Klarna must be shipped back to the returns center, not returned in-store.
- International Purchases: Items bought outside the U.S. must be returned to a store in the same country where they were purchased.
Why is this important? This option can save you the $7.00 return fee and might be more convenient for some customers.
Items That Can’t Be Returned
Some items are not eligible for return. These include:
- Final Sale Items: Items that are 70% off or marked as final sale.
- Customized Items: Monogrammed or altered merchandise.
- Used Items: Worn or washed items.
- Special Orders: Special Order and Made to Measure clothing.

- Return the Item: Return the item you don’t want in its original condition.
- Place a New Order: Order the new item from the Brooks Brothers website.
- Contact Customer Service: Once you have your new order number, contact Brooks Brothers for necessary adjustments.

Why is this important? Understanding the exchange process ensures you get the right item without additional shipping costs.
Refunds

- Processing Time: Once Brooks Brothers receives your return, it takes 24-48 business hours to process.
