I'm going to be in midtown tomorrow for a couple of hours and am thinking of hitting C-21 for a discount high-end overcoat -- has anybody been there very recently and seen the selection? I will be looking for a full-length 42R and will be looking for a typical high-end/semi high-end brand (brioni, barbera, isaia, zegna). I'm also open to brands I haven't heard of that you guys have seen there and regard as high-end (thats how I ended up with my Sartoria Partenopea suit, which is awesome).
Thanks

You do realize C21 is downtown, right? I have no idea about overcoats there, but I did pick up some nice leather gloves with Italian cashmere linings. If you look there, make sure you look at the labels, as a lot of them are actually made in China.

Good luck. I hate the C21 shopping experience

Thanks - I know C-21 is downtown and I should have been more clear - I will by in NYC tomorrow for a meeting in midtown and will have a few free hours. I figured there would be no massive sales at BG, etc yet so my best bet would be to jumpe on the subway and check out C-21

They generally do not carry high end overcoats (I've been on the hunt for one) though they occasionally get a few like Corneliani, but mostly 40R. I think you would be better off with STP, or possibly trying Barneys.

I haven't seen Sartoria Partenopea at C21 in something like 18 months...

I believe they had a rack of Corneliani overcoats about a week ago. I don't know about sizing or pricing, though.
