How often do you actually buy stuff from the B&S forum?

Wait, you can buy and sell **** here?

daily. I seek, find, and then destroy my savings with every purchase

 

[taxgenius]

I buy more from B&S than from stores and other online sites.

All of my clothes except socks and underwear were bought online. About 50% of the stuff came from B&S. So:

1. 1 suit, maybe 3 or 4 sport coats.
2. 5-6 pairs of shoes.
3. 4-5 shirts.
4. 10-15 pants.
5. 20-30 pocket squares and ties.
6. Several cuff links.

etc.

I wont bother you with trousers/coats and I don't buy suits since i don't need/want to wear them


A bit out of point but no one has been able to answer me here, so - how much exactly is Northampton selling the JL Prestiges?

I also notice tons of JL Prestiges and St Crepin available online lately (not counting sellers selling non S or R stock). Is JL clearing their Prestiges from Northampton?

I have seen and got JL online (probably from Northampton) for like 150 to 200 pounds, not Prestiges of course. So not sure about your 550 price tag.

Lastly, you are in London and you dont wear suits for work? Strange.

Oh yah, Zegna Couture and RLPL shirts for 100 is a damn sweet price, even if in sterling pounds.

 

[Maccimus]

Huge amount of great deals but unfortunately most of them are not my size. I wish I am still growing.

"Shite", yes. "****" is frowned upon.

Whoops, sorry Spoo.

Never been on B&S...

 

[Jermyn]

I live in London and work in Mayfair.
I walk past Jermyn Street, Savile Row and Bond Street on my lunch break every day.

Still, I'm always on B&S.
I've picked up G&G, Vass and EG shoes for cheaper than what I can get here.
(Vass and G&G don't have outlets and the EG Factory store is, relatively speaking, quite expensive).

I've also picked up an RLPL sportscoat and suit for considerably less that retail.
Aside from the fact that you have to wait in a long line to get in, the Bicester RL outlet has very few RLPL items and has never stocked shoes of any description when I've been there.

Cucinelli is another brand which goes for around 20% of retail on B&S.
Even at TK Maxx, Cucinelli polos are £109. I've picked up a BNWT SC for just over double that on B&S.

You can certainly get some great deals in London but we don't have a monopoly.

usually my size stuff isn't listed so I just look for ties and shoes. So far after only being a member for a month or so I have bought 1 tie.

 

[countbaron]

i buy them at about 65 pounds average. Currently RLPL shirts sell at bicester for 99 pounds everyday, but if you wait and come around a few times you will get them discounted. Last wek I bought two for 50 pounds

 

[countbaron]

for JLPs I gave an average because again things change. You can get loafers at £200s most days- you can get non prestige very nice styles at £350-450 most days, and in special days u can get them at £250s.

Prestiges I never saw below £500s- but i dont go every month

As for people calling shoes from factory shops low quality seconds, I can only say that if you know shoes you can always get shoes that I will bet you coundnt tell the difference if they were in Jermyn St.

Even the ones that are damaged are often displayed with no care- in 5 minutes you can make the same shoes look so much better but they dont bother
