I didn't see it here yet, so I'll take the liberty of posting. American Eagle will be closing the chain by summer. I'm not really disappointed as I never found a thing of interest there, but I know some did, and the hopefully there will be good deals in the coming months.

Well, that sucks. I've found lots of great things at M+O. I guess I'll wait for the deals...

I liked the Dallas store's design, and their clothes in theory, but the material they used for their shirts always felt like cheap ****.

always felt cheap and was but they were good beater work shirts. When they were on sale they were like $12. Add in $10 of tailoring and it looked pretty good.

Only bad thing was no collar stays sewn in

I just like the headline that says "AE Closing Martin + Osa, Street Cheers"

Good ******* riddance. I've had so many problems with this company. They are thieves.

Meh.

Their items don't look too bad. They have a new bomber that actually looks pretty good. Looks like I'll be waiting for the flash sale.

How so? Are you referring to customer service?

That's too bad. They made some good basics. I have a couple waffle crews and long-sleeved polo shirts. Neither are available on the site anymore, so I can't stock up before the company shutters.

Good pants in some fairly good colors (looking at you, washed out J Crew).

I liked some of their cloths. Better than the Gap and a notch or two below BR.

Sad. Their most recent spring collection was the brand's strongest IMO.
