hope your not my size, i'll be there later looking for the same thing

just called...limited models on sale.
double monks definitely not available.
they have a pair of malvern, but in D width.
didn't ask about any other models.

they better not have any double monks on sale. I just payed $400 for mine.

Not sure if the T&A sale is still active, but I was in the shop on Thursday June 5th. There were about 200 shirts for each neck size (15, 15.5, 16, 16.5, and 17). Mostly "strange" gradient type patterns. A few "check" and gingham patterned shirts. Almost bought a few but wasn't happy with the fit. So the thought of spending $120 for a shirt that didn't fit and spending another ~$20 for tailoring wasn't appealing. As for ties, there were maybe 400-500 or so. Some crazy patterns but some very, very nice ones. All were marked $60 a piece. Didn't look at trousers or sweaters. There were various coats for sale ($500 to about $1000). Nothing in my size of course. Some nice suits. Lots of heavyweight wools. $1200 each, but some were offered to me for $650. Not sure why though. Asked about pocket squares and a nice english fellow mentioned that they didn't yet have any for sale, but they were expecting a shipment of such in the next couple of days.

I had the best luck with the C&J boutique on the 4th floor. The selection was a bit sparce, but I was lucky to find the exact type of shoe I was there for; black calf single monk (mortimer). I really went there to get an idea of my size on different lasts and was lucky that they had this shoe in 9, 9.5, and 10. 10 fit like a glove and went home with me for $375 (orig. $725 - handgrade model). As far as the rest of the selection, there were about 20-30 models on sale, but select sizes and colors only. Most of the shoes are discontinued models from what I was told. I would definitely recommend checking out the sale. This will be an annual event for me.

any word on if it is still going on ... i would definately check out the C&J selection

I believe the T&A sale ends June 14. Those tie prices are more than twice what they were two years ago.

Does anyone have any idea when Paul Smith's summer sale is?

Do they do any further markdowns? I think that a certain Quality Seller got a great deal on some sportcoats last year...

In the past, they've done further markdowns on ties near the end of the sale, but I'm not sure about other items.
