Brooks Brothers Inc., the two-century-old menswear company that set the standard for aspiring Wall Street bankers, is seeking to sell itself, Bloomberg News reported. The retailer has extended a sale process begun last year. Depending on how many stores a buyer wanted, a transaction could ultimately be part of a bankruptcy filing. The company has about $600 million in debt. Many of the company’s approximately 250 U.S. locations have struggled. It operates a similar number of stores in more than 40 other countries, according to its website.
