prices are even lower...40% off the sale prices. Red chambray $9! Canvas shoes $10! Shaker cardigan $21!

They raised the sale prices but it still ends up being a couple bucks cheaper for each item.

I just spent more money again. argh!

Sweaters tend to stretch lengthwise, if you often wear them and rarely launder (delicates, lay flat on towels on dry) or dry clean.

I like them a little short to start for this reason.

Hard to argue with the prices with the 40% off. Lots of decent office pants in staple colors for under $20.

thinking about getting a couple of lands end canvas oxfords...

not sure on sizing thought

i'm 5' 11.5" and about 155 lbs.

chest size about 38-40

i wear medium in uniqlo, gap, etc. button downs

i read of people sizing down to small around my size in lands end but i'm afraid of the sleeves being too short...i wear a 33/34 dress shirt sleeve

looking for it to fit pretty slim on me

I think you should hit the gym man. I was 6'2" 150 lbs and shot up to 180 in the last year. It really pays off.

You get the credit immediately. I have done it a few times, and it really is a "no questions asked" situation - they literally will not even ask why you are returning.

Cash I don't know, but I would imagine they would refund cash only if you paid in cash; which with Canvas, which you order online, you can't do.

picked up way too many things, will probably end up returning some of the sweaters and shirts, but $10 for straight chinos is just stupid cheap. I thought the stuff i ordered yesterday from jcrew was cheap, this stuff makes it look expensive.

best deals in my mind would be the chinos, leather sandles for $8 (good quality, have a pair already), and overdyed oxfords.

I understand they have to get rid of stock. But sales like this (60 to 80 percent off almost the entire f/w line) can't be good for the future of LEC. More than a 100 pieces in almost any size and color?

It says one thing to the customer: You're a fool if you buy anything from us at retail.

Who in the world would buy anything here at retail when they can wait a few months and get it 60 to 80 percent off?


Because some people might want to wear the fall/winter stuff during November, December, and January? The heavier winter stuff will only be useful for about another month or so.
And its all pretty cheap to begin with.

Also - almost every brand puts all remaining stock on deep discount at this time of year

Anyway, ended up grabbing some beaters w/ the 40% and free shipping:
navy shawl sweatshirt
navy/lupine rugby
fatigue shawl in heather grey

All true.

But I've never seen EVERYTHING (except a handful of pieces) at almost every size and color put on such a deep discount.

Great for the consumer. Can't be great for the future of LEC.

Prices dropped even more... o_O
Well, that taught me one thing about LEC, wait a few days for even greater sales before ordering and don't worry about sizes running out.

Oh well, I'm satisfied with my $16 oxford and chambray though.

You're completely right. I've placed three orders from LEC since November, and I've always waited until a sale of at least 30%. The current 40% sale was too enticing not to pick up a few more things.

I have the LEC Oxford, I usually wear 32/33 dress shirt sleeve and it's actually longer than I would like. However, the Chambray that I have, in size small, is perfect length, maybe even on the shorter side. Fit Picture. http://www.styleforum.net/showthread...149471&page=92 Ordering a Cardigan and more oxfords haha.
