Any good stuff at Orlando Outlets/Mall

[oaw01]

I'll be going to Disney in two weeks and I'm wondering if there are any good deals at the Prime and Premium Outlets. I already called the Ralph Lauren store for black/purple label clothing and they only carry women clothes.

Also very interested in this as I will be there in March (Disneyworld). If you would be so kind as to update the thread with your experience it would be very helpful.

Good quality items are few and far between at the Orlando outlets. The only positive is that the Brooks Brothers Factory Store puts all of the overstock/closeout items from the mainline stores in one spot, easily located in the corner of the store closest to the polo shirts. In all my trips out to the various outlets, my only real score was a BB GF navy hopsack blazer marked down to $200, which I got for $120 with a 40% off promotion they were running. Every now and then I see something nice at Saks Off 5th, but rarely in my size. Plenty of Zanella trousers at Saks Off 5th and Neiman Marcus at $125-$150 if you're in need.

I'd focus on Prime Outlets if you're trying to save time. That's where the Saks Off 5th, Neiman Marcus Last Call, Hickey Freeman and Brooks Brothers Factory Store are. Just be sure to grab an outlet map from one of the shopkeepers. The signage providing directions is terrible.

I went to Prime Outlets, Premium Outlets and Mall of Millenia. I purchased a blazer from Bloomingdales at MoM and the wife bought an overprice gucci bag. However, Niemans had a nice pair of zegna shoes going for 1K.

Prime Outlets was a bust - there is not a damn thing - however saks had 30% off of suits. So a Hugo Boss can be had for $350.

Premium Outlets -
- Zegna outlet sucks - overprice outlet with gritti **** suits for a $1G.

- Armani outlet had some decent sales - I almost picked up a Giorgio Armani suit for $479 - retail $2950 - it's a 40R which fits almost like a 38s in RLBL. The GA suit seemed fused and the Armani Collezioni suits were even worst. Who the **** pay retail for the Armani crap wear - I can't believe I use to think he was the greatest designer, etc -- I guess he's working off of his celeb status.

- Ferragamo - **** shoes going for $250 and up. It's worth about a $100.

- Ralph Lauren outlet - nice female clothes going for 75% off. **** why can't they carry men clothing.

They used to, but Woodbury is a much more effective outlet for their high-end men's clothing.

it depends on the day but i've gotten a few good deals, a great pair of swim trunks from etro last summer for i think 25 bucks, and a pair of loafers from tod's for under 100. there were a few other deals that i can't think of at the moment.

Oh, I forgot about Tods. They were running some great deals and there were a pair of dark brown suede zip boots going for $85 - retail $600 - my size was not available.

Etro carries some ugly baggy ass clothes in addition it was overprice

sorry it didn't work out for you. Orlando can be pretty hit or miss. my last great haul was in February, where i scored: a cashmere Isaia sports jacket and a Brioni windowpane jacket. both reduced to outlet prices and then marked down by 75%

a couple of Truzzi shirts at <$80 at Off Fifth i got some RLPL pants and knits at RL....maybe those were the last ones..? wife scored $50 Zegna silk scarves....very nice she also scored at Tods where she got like 3 pairs of shoes under $100. i got frustrated because they had some really nice monkstraps (think the JL Vale with a captoe) but none in my size Ferragamo had 3-4 styles of Tramezzas but none in my size BB was ok but not great Y-3 had some really nice street/athletic wear stuff from 50-75% off list that's just off the top of my head

Is a $2400 Zegna suit for $890 a bad deal? Also, Tremezzas for $450 doesn't seem like a bad deal either.
