So stopped by the BNY warehouse sale at the LA convention center yesterday. All in all, pretty disappointing, so wanted to save people the trip if they were on the fence.
I wear a 40r, and there were barely any decent suits in my size. A couple RLBL, but all ones I'd previously passed on in-store (no real use for a solid black DB suit...), and a handful of Canali but otherwise it was mostly house brand, Hugo Boss and Hickey Freeman. If you're a bigger guy, like 44+ territory, then they had a good selection of Zegna suits as well as a few Isaia and probably some others lurking. There was a beautiful solid navy Zegna Milano fit but it was only in large sizes. Sport coats were slim picking, but what they had were alright, with better coats in more sizes, but less overall inventory.
The ties were relatively disappointing, with lots of house brand stuff as well as brands sold primarily in Coop. Shirts were no better. There was some decent sportswear, but nothing to write home about and shoes were abysmal. They seem to have fewer and fewer every time and what they do get is either really crappy, really far out there in terms of style, or in poor condition.
I may go back next weekend when further markdowns are taken (they usually do this for the last 2-3 days), but I left completely empty handed yesterday. Hopefully the NY sale in a week or so will be better and that I'll have an excuse to be in the city around then.
