How are suits prices with 50% off?

Depends on the suit - some of the more normal all wool's (which aren't many in the FW) are probably around the $1k range, but the cashmeres that make up more of the season are probably still in the $1.5k+ range. Still, from the $3-5k retail (I know, I know) that's finally somewhere in realistic world.

I will note that they will probably do 60% in a month and maybe, maybe, 70% come next year - but as you can imagine, sizes get sparser.

MrPorter is based in the UK, which at this time is also in the EU

Ross in SoCal looks to have received some stuff from Nordstrom Rack. Found some Robert Talbott and Falke socks and some nicer PRL items. There were also some non SF approved items like True Religion, Lacoste, William Rast,...

Edit- I cleared out everything in most of the High Desert locations and Pasadena area. To be clear there wasn't piles and piles of this stuff. More like a half dozen nice socks mixed in with 100s of the normal Ross junk.

Axel's Outpost (which I have never heard of before) has Edward Green & John Lobb at a discount.

 

[circumspice]

Axels I believe is a menswear store in Denver, or elsewhere in CO. I believe they may by like RLPL in that they order D width for their Teddy Green's, so those of y'all with expansive feet may want to look carefully. They also have some nice looking Mazzarelli shirts

Did not know that.

You selling any of the Talbott socks? PM if so.

Eison Triple Threads, a SF-based MTM company, has a great deal on Gilt:

I have a really comfy, well-fitting Eison jacket made from an Ariston double-faced jersey, shown below with the Eison founder at an even there.
(Sorry, shirt needs to be tucked in and low rise TS jeans should be switched w/ some Eison pants.)

Eh, the UK uses a different currency though. Couldn't that be the cause?

Not clothing, but a good example of MSRP differences due to currency differences is phones. An iPhone sold in the states is going to be less in the U.S. than compared to the UK and the EU, but that also has to do with it being made by an American company.

An iPhone 7 (128GB, no carrier) is $749, same phone on the UK site is GBP 699, and EUR 889 from the Irish site.
