PSA: Grey Wool Flannel Golden Fleece at BB Outlet in NC

[Lawman]

Guys, stopped by the BB outlet in Smithfield yesterday. They had a medium grey, medium weight, flannel Golden Fleece suit for $500. It was a 52R, and I'm not sure there are ANY of them on here, but it was a suit to die for. Just thought I'd pass along the intel.

Also, for the fifth consecutive stop at the Lauren factory outlet, absolutely nothing. Their PSR inventory is absolutely pathetic. One or two blue label items, and that is it. Anyone else noticing this at other polo outlets?

The good stuff is typically mixed in. Ive seen Black Fleece at outlets as well as Golden Fleece

They also have a black fleece suit, but it is priced at $2k.

Same MO as most of the outlets: stock the store with outlet store-specific crap and have a few gems as leftovers from their closest mainline store. The brooks outlet, nord rack, Off 5th and NM last call closest to me all seem to do that. I'm hoping that the MASSIVE lot of stuff that got shipped into the local Saks store for their markdown sale will then get shipped to the local Off 5th and discounted even further.

I went to Off 5th for the first time today and was horribly disappointed. I guess if I wanted Cole Haan that would be the place to go. I did see a couple of Zegna ties and Talbott shirts, but all for $70+

I checked out the Polo outlet in Gilroy, CA and it was just as you describe. Pretty much a waste of time. I did see a Purple Label shirt, but it wasn't nice and wasn't my size. Also a couple of RRL white pants, and some RLX stuff. But that was maybe 0.0001% of the inventory.

yup, and always just on the 60% or 75% discount rack.

I might be able to swing buy and pick it up on Wednesday if anyone wants it. I would need a firm commitment. Thanks. Truly, if you like flannel suits, this is incredible. It is the kind of thing I would like to have made for me.
