I stopped by the Barney's Warehouse Sale today (thoroughly disappointing for sportswear) and ended up leaving with two items from a label named Wash -- one oxford with a white collar (not button down, I like) and a cotton blazer (light khaki with thin stripes). I've never heard of the brand before -- anyone know anything about it and care to share?

edit: and the sale sucked. All of the sportswear was drastically overpriced...we're talking $99 and up for Hickey shirts, Varvatos button-ups at $80 and up, Theory button ups at $100 and up. Crate jeans at $69 (what's new?) and basically no interesting sportswear to consider. Only one or two pairs of shoes in my size without rubber soles, though I saw some decent Paul Smith, Varvatos and an NDC pair in other sizes.
This oxford was $39 and the blazer $69 which I felt were a little high, but overall decent.
The suits looked stocked, as always, though I don't know about the prices as I wasn't in the market. Some of the sportcoats seemed overpriced (a Varvatos near $400, Theory at $250, most everything pushing that pricepoint) and ties that weren't Barney's house brand were near $50. Also, I think the Barney's house brand dress shirts were $49 or $59.
It's not the first time I've left that sale disappointed. And even though I know I'll feel the same way next time, I know I'll go again next season (hell, maybe even again this season)
