Im new to the game, but wow, far more difficult than I expected.
started at saks off 5th, nordstrom rack, and last call nieman.
so I found NOTHING in saks off 5th, nordstrom had a few isaia, but nothing I would wear, nieman was same as saks.
down but not defeated, went to the outlet mall today. A different saks off 5th, they had some blue label RL, and... dkny/hickeyfreeman/saksbrand. They did have 1 nice looking isaia sport coat marked from 3k down to 500... it was isaia napoli argento or something... quick google search seemed to suggest that it might not be fully canvassed. I was really looking for a nice suit not a sport coat, so I kept my CC in my pocket.
on to the RL factory store. not a single black label in the store, plus the place was a total zoo...
lastly, brooks bros, where I learned that they stock the entire outlet with some subbrand line of clothes... no 1818 fitz to be had...
*shrug* Props to those that can manage this stuff, I felt dirty like I was too uninformed to distinguish deals from shady branding...
I sense Ill end up walking into the RL store and just paying full MSRP for a nice charcoal suit.
