Slightly YMMV since not all Marshall Field's markdown simultaneously, but they should eventually all go down to the same price.
Also, Marshall Field's is a regional store, but I believe they do phone orders if you call the store directly.
Select jeans were marked down to 80% off retail yesterday (at least in the downtown Minneapolis location).
I have too much denim, but when I culled the racks, I saw quite a few Earnest Sewn Patriot Fulton #53 (Straight Leg Selvedge) for $41.97 (the decision was even more of a no-brainer since my wife receives an additional employee discount of 25%).
I don't know much about Earnest Sewn, particularly this style and material (1/2 selvedge??), but they struck me as very clean and austere and I love austere. So I bought a pair. They had plenty left in other sizes.
My guess is in not-so-depeche-mode Twin Cities, dry (these seem dry, but have slight honeycombs & whiskering) selvedge denims not marked on the back pocket with any branding or embroidery espouse a farmer/worker appeal that mainstream folks don't want to rock. Hence the overstock. Also, these originally listed at $210.
I don't know anything about the other brands that I saw on sale (Chip & Pepper, True Religion, etc.), but I did consider a pair of Levi's Premiums (originally $110, now $21.97). But I passed.
Finally, Marshall Field's will be changing their nameplate to Macy's on Sept. 9th. As a result, Prada & Miu Miu have terminated their men's & women's accounts. Starting now, I see prices reduced by 40%. Eventually, MF's will clear everything out at 90% for all that remains.
