Lol. Its a tie between you two for sure.
I got you squared away from a table at a country western bar. For spoo I had to get on the red phone and broker a deal real fast with another store. Let's just say I made them an offer they couldn't refuse.

Nice taupe suede Seraphin unlined blazer....Barneys had it retail at $2895...picked it up on this last drop at $1130. I originally coveted a Brunello unlined suede coat that even at 40% off was still $2600, but this Seraphin is just beyond in terms of quality and it's hand made. I'll post a pic in the recent purchases thread once I've got all the G&G's and Saint Crispin in next week. Okay I'll end the G&G thread hijack.


Now that sounds fantastic! Congrats.

Stitchy, let me find out...

Six thirty am. I'm up on the hunt for more shoes.

Spoo: pretty much

but they had it coming.
I had the option of calling different Barneys stores to hunt for the G&G yesterday as Ryan was off for the day but I wanted the deal to go to him. Even though he said he'd give a response by 14:00 Pac time, he answered me 6 hours earlier AND found the shoes I want.

Judging by the comments here, it's sad that Barneys is discontinuing G&G but I'll look for Ryan again when the urge strikes for John Lobb or whatever deals Barneys offers.

I was told directly from my salesperson that G&G wasn't going to be carried anymore. He didn't give me insight as to why. He did say brands leave and come back all the time, but I'm thinking that's more designer stuff vs things like Lobb and G&G.

Sadly this is applicable for a lot of stores in the UK now.
