There was some interest in a particular pair of RLPL sunglasses in a B&S thread, and I stumbled across this source. Decent price to begin with, but I got some weird coupon when I visited the page and my final price was $112.49 with shipping. The coupon doesn't appear to be publicized and I have no idea what I did to get it to pop up for me. YMMV. Someone on Ebay has 50 of them for the same price but I can't vouch for authenticity.

It was a one-time use thing, apparently. It appears to have been generated when I looked at the item, perhaps someone else can get lucky and get one as well.

Neiman Marcus in Bellevue (Seattle) has a bunch of waxed Barbour Beauforts for $300 on last call sale.
Tried one on but decided they're a little too Jack McCoy for me.

Passed by the Daffy's on 57th near Broadway last night - they had a whole rack of Mabitex linen/cotto/wool slacks on final sale for $24.99. It looks like some are already making their way onto SF (at 3 or 4 times the sale price)

If you can make it to the store, fyi - final sale items are not returnable so you'll need to try these on. This location always has less than the other Daffy's, so pickings might be better at other locations.

Happy Hunting!

Both Paris & Milan sales will go through ~mid- Feb. Although by now, I would say the best items are gone. Perhaps if you have odd taste or are an odd size you might have some luck. Post some pics if you get the chance to go.

was just at hrlc, this is what they had.

Lots of grey unstructured cashmere sc from zegna with suede elbow patches, $500
Armani with similar style also about $500

Isaia brown wool pants size 38-42 $40

Charvet dress shirt white with blue and green stripes, $40 size 18

they have gotten rid of most of their suits, now there is something called primo in its place. I assume it is their house brand garbage.

Almost nothin left in shoes. All sc are 50% last price. Very little pants.

I think they either moved stuff to storage or must have sold the hell out of their stuff, store looks empty.

No doubt getting ready for the stuff comin from the stores any day now.

P.S.A. - Earlier this evening, I was at the Century 21 Department Store in lower Manhattan, when I came upon two full racks of Kiton ties (merchandise I never thought I would ever see there). Most are 7-folds, although a few that are not. They are priced at $69.99 and are located on the bottom rack under the Versace ties on the far right side. (However, I did not purchase any of them, as I don't care for the dimensions of Kiton ties, and I found the selection to be comprised of rather ugly patterns. For my money, the new selection of Holliday & Brown ties for $42.99 are the real prize there).
