Remind me, where do you get these flyers? I already hit up cacmail and shoebank email addresses to get lists of seconds. Do I also need to email the outlet stores individually?

You just email one of the factory stores and they send it to you. I emailed the store in Leeds, and they replied with the sales flyer. I emailed [email protected]

Thanks, mdavis534. I assume you'd have to email each outlet individually to get their inventory, right?

Nope. Closest one is about a 70 minute drive to Riverhead, NY on Long Island.

 

[Murph65]

No outlet in NYC. Closest is way out on Long Island in Riverhead - Tanger outlets.

They all pull the inventory from the same database I think. I usually just get the list from one. If they dont reply, I call and ask for an email of then inventory, which they usually promptly do. I usually call store in Destin. They are pretty responsive.

Damn.

Thanks. Is the city usually madness for black friday? This will be my first black friday in the US. Will I get trampelled?

Woah woah woah. How do I get on that? A pair of snuff suede RL chukkas would be awesome! Is it in store only? Or can I email and get dat?

For those that aren't familiar with all the Brooks Brothers (BB) and Ralph Lauren (RL) models, here are the ones I know of. I've linked to their respective websites if possible. Feel free to let me know of any additions or corrections and I can try to keep it up-to-date. Also, if you know which last a given RL model is on, let me know and I'll add it. I'm not positive about the links with question marks; please let me know if you can confirm.

Brooks Brothers (differences include Poron insole, combination outsole, and branding):

• Models marked "Allen Edmonds Collection":
  • Park Avenue: black, brown
  • McTavish: black
  • Elgin: tan
  • Aberdeen: brown grain
• Other unmarked models:
  • Strand: black, brown, walnut
  • Fifth Avenue: black, brown, walnut
  • McAllister: black, burgundy
  • Shelton: tan, walnut/brown
  • Neumok: snuff suede
  • MacNeil: black grain, chili grain, black/plaid, brown/plaid
  • Gatsby: brown/white
  • Grayson: black, burgundy?
  • Presidio: black?, brown?, walnut?
  • Westchester: black?, burgundy?
  • "7 Tan Calf/Linen": tan/linen

Ralph Lauren:

• Sanderson (longwing blucher): black, brown, walnut, snuff suede
• Singleton (penny loafer): black, dark brown, walnut, dark brown suede, snuff suede
• Slaton (perforated captoe (quarter brogue) blucher): black, dark brown, snuff suede
• Stratford (single monkstrap): black, snuff suede
• Saunders (chukka/ankle boot): black, dark brown, snuff suede
• possibly other "Made in America" models?

The BB Gatsby's are Peal and Co. Not AA.

Those Thanksgiving prices look pretty weak IMO. Most of those prices are in every sale, and BB/RL have been $149 for months. This is just more proof that most Thanksgiving/Black Friday sales are nothing special. People see a sale, and they just assume that it's a special deal. You can get the same items at the same prices in July.

You might, but that is usually only an issue at the big box stores.

The BB Gatsby's are Peal and Co. Not AA.

You are right, they are not Allen Edmonds, not sure who makes them though. Peal & Co. is mostly rebranded now.

That explains the "Made in England" that was throwing me off. Then what is "Brooks Gatsby Brn/White" on the seconds list?

 

[EEWithoutStyle]

I'm thinking about picking up a pair of Park Aves during the sale as I will need them for upcoming interviews. How do returns/exchanges work if there is a major visible defect or defect I am not happy about? I have never ordered seconds before.

 

[Fueco]

Does anyone know the model name of this shoe? It's on the 5603 last.
