Great Deals: Smithfield, NC BB and Polo Outlets

[Lawman]

Stopped by the BB and RL outlets on my way home from a deposition this PM. What a bounty. The polo racks were loaded with RLPL items, mostly trousers. White and blue linen trousers, listed for $300+, on sale for around $70.00. RLPL khakis for around $50. RLBL sportocats listed for $1500 (mostly heavy wools and plaids) on sale for around $150. I scored a pair of blue label brown cotton trousers, list $195, for $20. I did not record sizes, but most trousers looked to be in the 34-42 range, with most represented. Sportcoats were smallish, low 40s as I recall. I am simply too busy with my real job to buy for resale, so I thought I would just pass along the tip.

At Brooks Brothers, they had Peal Collection shoes for $100 dollars a pair. I scored three pairs of those, a black and white spectator, a brown leather captoe with canvas, and a nice snuff suede derby. They had many sizes and models. They also had a Gold Fleece navy sportcoat in a heavier fabric (crepe-like) for $150.00, size 44, I believe.

Happy Hunting!

Any chance you could post pictures of the shoes?

Thanks for the info. I live less than 20 minutes from the smithfield outlets. I'll make a visit tomorrow.

Please let me know if you see any Polo suits/sportcoats in a 38S.

Thanks.

I did not see any suits in that size. The shoes are all discontinued models and I can't find pics. They had the Gibson, which is an apron front derby, a cap toe that is a brown calf and fabric combination, a perf captoe spectator in black and white, and a suede elongated last derby. These aren't my A list shoes, but for $100 a pop, I'll find a spot in the rotation for them!

These are just what they had in my unusual size of 13. There was a table covered with shoes.

Thanks to the OP. I picked up what I hope are Alden suede loafers and a pair of "bold" fabric-brown calf wingtips, to use the words of the helpful SA. Total: $170+ shipping/tax.

you live near smithfield nc? Pretty good bbq/fried chicken town.

we pass these malls on our yearly trip from ny to kiawah at the end of the summer. The RL store was a total waste of time...I guess its pretty picked over by then.
