Brooks Brothers has set the standard for American style. Since opening its doors in 1818, Brooks Brothers has become an American icon revered for the quality and classic elegance of its merchandise and services, and has grown to become the single greatest influence on men’s fashion in America. The brand reflects a lifestyle that is current and relevant, one with a youthful attitude and energy. Brooks Brothers` heritage is part of innovation and history.
The original notion can be traced back some 185 years to Brooks Brothers’ founder, Henry Sands Brooks and his guiding principle: to make and deal only in merchandise of the best quality, to sell it at a fair price, and to deal with people who seek and appreciate such merchandise. He opened his first clothing store in New York City on the lower Manhattan waterfront in 1818. Henry’s sons Daniel, John, Elisha and Edward inherited their father’s practice of always giving the customer a little more than expected. In 1850, the Golden Fleece symbol was adopted as the company’s trademark.
Brooks Brothers offers business and casual clothing for men and women that adhere to a strict code of quality and tradition, and has dressed generations of families, prominent( Five generations of Morgans, The Duke of Windsor) and less famous, as well as political leaders(John F. Kennedy, Gerald Ford ,George HW Bush and President Barack Obama who wore a Brooks Brothers coat along with a cashmere scarf and gloves on the occasion of his inauguration on January 20, 2009), Hollywood legends(Clark Gable, Rudolph Valentino, Katharine Hepburn), sports greats(Jack Dempsey) and military heroes.

The present building stands on the site of several previous cathedrals. The original cathedral was the church of Our Lady of Hope of St. Lazarus, declared the mother church of the Macau diocese which included the religious provinces of China, Japan, Korea and other islands adjacent to China. The first stone Cathedral, consecrated in 1850, was almost destroyed in a typhoon 24 years later and had to be extensively repaired.
The Cathedral was completely rebuilt in 1937. It has two solid towers and massive doors. Inside, its chief beauty lies in its fine stained-glass windows.
Many of the major events of the church calendar focus on the Cathedral, especially at Easter when, in addition to the procession of Our Lord of the Passion, there is a solemn parade of Good Friday and special masses on Easter Sunday.
