Don't get me wrong, the Domenico Vacca and RLPL are sweet finds, but the two above are ones that I would wear with great frequency.  Eff yeah.

I wonder if there's really some *&^%&*%^ at the Attolini workshop saying, "Well, we can't move these sportcoats at $4K. Better offload them to Marshalls for $25/unit."

Does Burlington ever carry nice stuff? I have one a few miles from my house. Entered once and saw nothing but crap. Have I been making a giant mistake for years???

That explains everything. Century 21 is New York's consolation prize for not having Jil Sander pieces sitting around in parking lots.

Hit up a shop today because I'd heard it was currently 75% off the whole store and picked up that Brooks Bros makers charcoal sport coat in my size I first saw back in mid August at $55. The discount made it a bit more realistic to say the least.

More finds at Marshalls -

I think this was $999

This seemed like a decent deal, think it was $199

These are alright, right? $70ish

Overall, stoked that none of this stuff is my size.

As far as I know, the top mass-retail chain in our area is Macy's, which explains why the discounters don't carry things like RLPL: there's no one to get it from. I have to admit I haven't been stopping in all that much, but all of the suits have been garbage and the best items I've seen is some of the mediocre RL Polo.

Makes sense to me. I've never seen anything better than US Polo Association at ours...JC Penney/Sears/Target are probably the top retail stores in our area. 

On another note....My Secret Santa Thriftmas Gift(s) has been shipped. Hoping the recipient will be happy and find some of the items useful.

Per their website, they have a total of 2,900 retail outlets world wide, they also have employment opportunities at "distribution centers". My guess is that they try to minimize shipments and may have regional distribution. That would explain the limited distribution of some brands.

WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????

Anyone else here as stupid as me?

Two transactions would have solved this, but that's why I get paid the big bucks

The frame around the RLPL and made in England script is more reminiscent of older EG, so I'll hazard a guess in that direction as well, though.

Way to tease me with that picture
