Can someone explain how to go ahead and reserve items prior to the 12/26 sale? I am looking at several suits online (have not stopped at a store yet) - can I pull these or only items that are available in store?

Pretty sure you just need to find a sales associate at your local store who would be willing to put items aside for you and then ring them up @ sales price on 12/26.

I suppose you could also try adding items to your bag/cart online now, refreshing the page on 12/26 and seeing if the prices update - no idea if this works or not. I'd lean toward saying no.

So I had an SA reserve a grey Fitzgerald Harris Tweed Herringbone for the 26th. I'm not sure if I should cancel it tomorrow and I keep going back and forth. It would be my second sport coat but I am not sure if it is worth the ~$450 or not or if I should wait for a better sale or ebay/thrift it. There was only one in my size though out of the few stores I visited.

If this is only your second sport coat I would not recommend grey or tweed. Grey is harder to pair with trousers and tweed is rather seasonal IMO.

My SA just called and said the sale is in the system now and I can buy the items he is holding today.

25% off, stacks with 15% for opening a card.

No idea if extra kicker...

The kicker will apply. What did you get?

If shoes, then you got a sweet deal.

$650 for a pair of peals - 25% - 15% - 15% = $343.27

Two pairs of Allen Edmonds (Strand and 5th).

Anything else I should keep an eye out for? I'm just starting to build my shoe collection.

Okay, confirmed 25% + 15% kicker on Thursday stacks with the 15% card.

But the kicker only applies Thursday so I can't get my stuff today :confused:

Do we know if C&J are still making Peal & Co? Or is it just impossible to tell now? Maybe Alfred Sargent?
