So I moved to Manhattan a few weeks ago and last week I finally made it to Century 21.
Holy ****, what a clusterfuck.
I'd never seen such a smorgasbord of designer menswear nestled next to off-off-off-off brand dreck and so many people crawling through the stairs and the strange side rooms.
And yet among all of it, I walked out with nothing. I went with the intention of buying a blazer, but I couldn't find anything my size. They had some Acne Jeans blazers, but all in an XL. MERC blazers, all too big. No Theory blazers in my size that weren't black.
What is the strategy with this store? Anyway to know when good casual (i.e. not suits) menswear drops? I'd love to go in there next time they get some Acne Blazers, or in general anytime they get a decent drop. They had some great brands (Costume National, Margiela, Hickey, Polo, tons of Purple Label stuff, Nudie, Acne, Filippa K) but not much size selection, I say.
