The nsuited site seems pretty sluggish, maybe on a workbook or on a low end laptop it could crash the browser.

FYI Blake in Portland is closing. He just decided that after 10 years he was ready for the next thing. Everything is on sale, looks like 30-40% right now and then probably drop as time goes on.

Some decent but limited stock on RRL (lots of denim on sale, a number of shirts, a couple cotton knit tops, very limited chino), EG (full size run of black wool Andovers, a few grey woll HB Andovers, polka dot 19th Cent shirts, floral print flannels, some other stuff, also FWK stock for the ladies) Baldwin and Tellason denim, some Alex Mill shirts, and a few LVC pieces as well. I think they will ship.

Sure, but it will only be worthwhile if you wear XS (maybe) or XL. I guarantee you that all the good stuff will be gone in the next week. He has a very loyal customer base and I'm guessing that after this weekend, stock will be pretty picked over.

I just posted mainly b/c he has some nice EG and RRL stuff that's in season, that wouldn't go on sale for another 2-3 months otherwise. and his stock of Tellason and RRL denim is big, and discounted.






(All his APC stock is discounted too for those who can't get enough)

****, blake in portland, the supposed sponsor of the RRL selvedge chino contest is going out of business? i still need to try and collect on the main prize from a couple years back. you think it would be in poor taste if I tried to collect now - only after blake seemingly ignored the committed participants of the challenge they themselves helped promulgate to increase their own sales?

Your call. That was a disappointment to say the least, but if you let the collection of said prize for for 2+ years, I'm not sure you have a super compelling argument. But if you don't ask, the answer is always no.

I'm sure the 60% comment was joking but if not, their stuffs are flying off the shelves. Like oboy said they have loyal customers and their picks have been consistently nice (RIP Context :( ). EG is pretty much gone by the time they closed for the day, and so were RRL and other smaller brands.

Did they ignore you or something? I'm curious to hear this story.
