Unless it's tailored clothing in a size that always sells out, like mine, I usually find it safe to wait for the sale. Saw this Drakes'e scarf in NYC last month but balked at the price (was carried at their store and at Barneys). Just grabbed it half-off at Barneys. The Drake's website has similar versions for around 40% off. https://www.drakes.com/usa/accessories/scarves?material_filter=727

Amazing cashmere. I thought it was cotton when I saw it but it's simply a densely woven, very fine fabric. Was post-Christmas sale shopping and, as usual, Barneys carried the day. Great stuff at their sale.

pologate was like the up up down down left right left right b a start of coupon codes
It's fitting that I missed out on this (I would have bought some crazy things as well as some expensive staples) since I absolutely suck at all video games.

Never forget the Corner's accidental stacking codes with no exceptions. Someone here bought out their entire Rick Owens stock.

Just another puff piece that reads like a brand advertisement. Article does not say much except promote the direct to consumer fallacy to try to convince people they are getting a good deal.

The economic benefits to manufacturers of knit construction wasn't something I'd thought about, but I agree it's not much more than a puff piece.

After pologate, I remember @LA Guy pointing out that if you find yourself favored by the fortune of a pricing error pick the one fastest shipping option, optimized for expedite means less likely that someone can stop the line

****, tonight’s fights didn’t go the way I hoped...

Anyways I’m like that guy that keeps buying coats except instead of coats it’s old artisanal Margiela items. I said to myself no way one of my last grails comes up for sale so I’m done and then....

The knit/suede jacket amalgam from 2004 shows up....must. remember. I. live. in. a. tropical place..

You can move, which is something is strongly recommend. And even if you don't, you can travel.
