Our days of seeing Thom Browne’s signature aesthetic throughout his Black Fleece collection for Brooks Brothers has now come to an end. The menswear retailer confirmed that the brand’s fall 2015 season will be Browne’s last before the label goes on hiatus.

But aside from what many may assume, there’s no hard feelings between the designer and Brooks Brothers. According to the New York Times, Browne is leaving Black Fleece to focus more attention on his own brand. “It lasted so long because it was a very good relationship,” Mr. Del Vecchio, Brooks Brothers CEO, told the publication. “I’m sure Thom would agree with that. I believe we’re closing this on a high end. The fall collection is probably the best collection we ever had in Black Fleece.”

The collection, introduced in 2007, started as a three-year project, but extended into a much longer venture – thanks to positive reviews and even better sales. Not to mention, Browne’s popularity for his shrunken suits turned out to be a perfect hit for the retailer.

While Brookes Brothers decides on whether they’ll be continuing Black Fleece without Browne, we’re pretty ecstatic that the designer will be dedicating more time to his own label.
