hopefully another 25% will be effective,maybe even moreOriginally Posted by forex
According to my sales rep she doesn't think so, they usually get instructions by now. Could happen but she hasn't seen anything but the normal instructions. An interesting note, she said this year it appears BB made less items, where she normally would get 10 suits she got 4 of a particular type. Some of her customers who she has worked with for years are complaining that many of the stapes they buy once a year are sold out.

I was under the assumption that they made/ordered far too much for fall, and given the downturn, decided to aggressively unload as much as possible.
If it's true they made less for this fall, why so many sales?
Are they are using the down economy as an excuse to switch to a Joseph A. Bank pricing strategy?

Perhaps they ordered less than normal and are still hurting. In that case, if BB had ordered at the normal volume (which would be way too much), they'd be struggling on Saks' level.

So we shouldn't expect anything for christmas? That would be weird, I was hoping that there will be 25% on discounted items just like they did a week or so ago.

I also heard that BB ordered fewer quantities of items for the fall/winter season. I was told that for Black Fleece, some items were limited to about a dozen across the company, total.

I think you will get the 25% and another 15% the morning of but it should come close to the 70 we just saw.

I know I wanted to finally get a DB Camel hair coat and the Golden Fleece ones were again some insanely small run of like 12 company wide in my size. Which seems off.Originally Posted by rssmsvc
That number sounds about right for an item like that. It still means a total production run of a few hundred coats representing maybe a half million dollars at retail. A lot of Ralph Lauren tailored clothing is produced with even fewer per size.

Really ? That is amazing, I always thought RL would make maybe 100 for a run or so. Actually, now that I think about when I did the visit the NY Mansion a while back they actually only had 1 or 2 in each size for RLPL Suits.

Ralph has a book distributed to each store with all of the production runs in it for the season. I think there are about 12 common sizes for suits and very few stores other than Chicago and the Mansion get the full run. There were only 4 per size (24 total) of a particular pair of trousers I bought last year.

My C&J for peal captoe boots arrived on Friday. They are really comfortable and I like the leather.
I was just wondering whether I can wear them in the rain without causing damage. Can I wear them in the snow?
They have a storm welt and Dainite soles.
Thanks!

I presume Peal, but I'm not sure. I have the saddle shoes and those are definitely by Peal.Originally Posted by JayJay
Peal doesn't make shoes any more, and hasn't for decades. It's a brand that BB owns, that's all.
