    ONE Left!!! Barely Worn Allen Edmonds Malvern Chukkas for $115!!

    Great shoes and in my size, but I have no need for all six pairs. Would be very much interested if there's ever an option to split them up.

    Manhattan Sales Alert!!

    I stopped by, got one of the mahogany line suits for $500. The easy way to tell the Mahogany line is the color of the Hickey Freeman tag on the sleeve: brown = mahogany, grey = cheaper, lower quality lines. Among the mahogany line there are two fits, Addison and Beacon; I think Addison is a...

    When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale?

    Yes, this is probably what should happen, but with shirts I've gotten lucky and been refunded the full price -- bought 3 during a corp card discount, returned 1, and the return was processed as a full price return ($88). Obviously YMMV.

    When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale?

    I hadn't thought of that. Is there any way to identify which is which based on the tag?

    When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale?

    When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale?

    For those of you with corporate discounts, I got an email today that on May 23 there will be a 30% off sale. Good only on regularly priced merchandise, but from my experience this stacks with the standard volume discounts BB always has (3 shirts for $209, 2 1818 suits for $1600, etc.).

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

    Been looking to pick up a pair of Walnut Strands. I emailed AE and the Seconds price is $259, plus shipping, whereas firsts are $335 and I can just walk into the shop and pick them up. At that price is it worth bothering with seconds?

    do suits really "fall apart"?

    I had a Brooks Brothers 1818 grey herringbone suit where the pants really did almost literally fall apart. I had it for about a year and the fabric in the seat wore straight through -- there were large holes on both sides on the inside of the pant legs.

    Hickey freeman suits

    I bought one of these, too. The tag on mine says it is the "Milburn" line, which is the same line Bloomingdale's carries. I think it's a line made especially for department stores. LC verified to me (as they have for others) that the suit is full-canvas. The fabric is a bit coarse and not as...
