What's the typical savings of buying at this sale rather than through your tailor?
you would have to ask your shirtmaker what he charges for CMT.
some of the older fabrics will never be replicated again.
Production methods have changed.
Something I had never seen before, but which is quite cool, is cotton crepe. I recall there were several colors. I have no idea what to do with it, but it just seemed cool.
I made three trips and while I wanted to stock up on staples, each time I went I kept going through the 36" Alumo piles. In all, I think I got 12 different lengths of that stuff. I did manage to get some Triplo (but too late for the white; it was there on my fist visit, gone by my second) and some other staple-type fabrics in high-quality weaves. But in my opinion, the 36" rolls are the real treasures.
I remember Armani using a lot of wool crepe. Don't remember any cotton crepe though.
