Kilgour Sale in London 28th

[yfyf]

Just a heads up since it arrived in my mailbox. Kilgour sale at the Savile Row shop starts Saturday 28th, you can "preview" for the three days prior, whatever that means.

got the same email too, need to email them to see if they are willing to ship internationally the sales items.

Based on my last Kilgour sale experience, it means you can go in today and reserve items for purchase on the sale day. Shame I'm not in London this summer

I see ... interesting system, if a bit weird. If you reserve it, doesn't it mean it's no longer available to anyone else? I guess people can still look at what they missed out on.

Preview allowed you to buy at 20% discount but I went on Friday and persuaded them to let me buy a suit at the 30% reduction (which is what they start the sale at).

I really like their unstructured collection. Probably not for the purists I imagine but beautifully put together and a great cut for the slim figure in my opinion.

yfyf did you go to the preview? im in london might take a look. recently ive kind of decided that although the kilgour look is beautiful and very flattering the lapels are a bit broad and the narrower cut of spencer hart has a less business like look.

Nein, unfortunately didn't make it. I had a chance to look at their stuff in Hong Kong, I thought it was ok but something about the fit was odd, I forget what.

O, and Spencer for lyfe.

 

[robinsongreen68]

you probably know this but they have a concession in liberty in london- the point being that they have seasonal sales, which i believe the store on the row does not have. got a lovely mohair RTW last time for something like $400.
Theres also a diffusion line there called Hart which again looked pretty good if you fit their block

I thought Hart was by Spencer Hart

Kilgour makes a nice one-button suit...

Kilgour's are holding a repechage store refurbishment sale, in the music room, 26 South Molton Lane, 6-8th August.

Leon, I may very well visit if it's free entry, since I'm not much of a Kilgour fan. I'd be more interested in a Spencer Hart sale, truth be told

 

[chobochobo]

If anyone can pick up one of the four colour knit ties, I'd love one please!
