However, the Chicago SA told me that the Bloomingdale's insider coupons (either $25 off $100 purchase or $50 off a $200 purchase with your Bloomie's card) could be applied to RLBL, while the NY SA told me they could not. The Chi one told me that you could use up to four of the coupons if you had them. If you have a friend with a Bloomingdale's card who will give you the coupons, apply for a card yourself, and stack with the 30% off, you're talking about $1,600 - 30% - 15% - $200 = $752, so not a bad take. Not sure if/when the 30% off ends/ended. Barney's had a DB black RLBL on sale, but not sure how much that could be considered a true "staple" suit.
Do you know which stores carry BL?

Pretty sure the SA said Michigan Ave, Lexington Ave, San Fran and DC area (Chevy Chase maybe...).

Went to the RL store on Rodeo today, was not too impressed by their selection. They did have some RLBL suits on sale that aren't on the website, but even at their sale price, it was around $1100 after the discounts. The price isn't that bad, but it was mostly odd patterns and there were no staples or even subtle striped suits at that price.

Right before Christmas, I picked up a nice vintage-looking suede motorcycle jacket. Original price I believe was $1,200. I picked it up for $400 and change. This was at the Philly RL store. I was not sure if they were going to be further dicounted after Christmas, but with only three left I did not want to take a chance.

A good deal. Is the jacket available online?

Was it from this past season, or a prior year? That's a pretty sweet deal!

I just returned from a weekend trip where I packed no other shoes but my Darltons that I picked up at the private sale last month. Easily becoming my favorite pair of shoes for every day wear.

I know Rugby online does, don't know about RL online.

No, I checked on line and nothing of the sort. I love the jacket and I thought the price was right.

It was from the fall season. If anyone lives near Philadelphia, there may still be a few more left.

I love the way it fits. It is the slim biker fit but not too slim as I can wear a thin sweater under it. It has patch pockets with a flap and engraved horn buttons. My favorite part is the sleeve cuffs as they are not elastic, but rather have little belt-like tabs and holes with brass hardware. Jacket hits right at the waste as a leather jacket should. The suede is baby-soft too.

I was not planning on buying anything there. I was bringing some pants to the BB store to get hemmed and returning a jacket at JCrew when I decided to stop in and see what their sales looked like.

The jacket had already been marked down twice and, as the Comcast commercial says, I jump in it.

That's an awesome deal, nicely played! Did you happen to see if they had a lot of other stuff with multiple markdowns (especially suits)? And I may have missed it earlier, but what line was this jacket from?

They mail you a postcard when they have sales if you have ever bought anything from a store. I remember sometime in August was one sale and the other I can't remember. But that was 3 or so years ago, I don't really go to RL stores these days.

And prices in stores during a sale are always lower than the website (at least for the Palo Alto/ Stanford and SF stores). If you want cheap RL and not BL/PL just go to Macy's. Polo is on sale always at Macy's.

It is a blue label as it is a casual motorcycle-style jacket. I picked up some basic plue label shirts in white and "French blue" They were $165 originaly marked down to $45. I also saw some black label stuff that was on sale but I did not have time to check them out as my parking was about to run out and I was going to get ticketed.

There were some nice black label parkas and I think I saw some purple label shirts. I did not pay too much attention to the parka as I had just bought one from BB and I did not look for suits as I had just bought two suits this fall.

I had actually gone in there to check out their suede longwings and I got distracted...
