If you hadn't noticed, the etail explosion has resulted in more price competition. Manufacturers, however, are doin' their darndest to regain control over the prices at which their products are sold online. For one, they're forbidding retailers from advertising (or even featuring) their products for anything less than a certain price -- which is why some etailers don't reveal the price of a product until "checkout."

Beyond The Rack - Donald Trump (?!?!)
What's goin' on over at Yoox? A hawk-eyed reader just found a pair of Common Projects on the site for $115! In fact, Yoox is carrying an entire page of CP's for far less than the label's average price of about $350. No, they don't appear to be "new" -- at least judging by these pics of CP's S/S '10 line. But, come on! $115?!
Friday through Sunday, 2/5-2/7, get to the Dunderdon sample sale for steep markdowns on the unassuming label's (already affordable) wares. Founded by a Swedish carpenter, Dunderdon's mission is to create clothing for craftsmen who appreciate construction and simple design. Online, you'll find that most F/W gear is about 40% off.
On the heels of a half-baked rebranding effort, American Eagle remains an unwise purchase for anyone over the age of 16. That's the big takeaway from Times "Critical Shopper" Jon Caramanica's visit to AE's Times Square tourist trap.

From heavy denim to vintage flannel and henleys, NY Mag recommends ten reputable establishments for the city's "urban-woodsman" -
Introducing "Beggar Invitational" -- Your daily menu of deals from so-called "invitation only" sample sale sites. For the record, these popular e-tailers no longer require invitations. They might ask you to "request membership," but all requests are promptly accepted. Their sales, meanwhile, remain time-sensitive -- typically a few days -- and often quite attractive. Oh, and if we somehow highlight a brand, that means we're especially excited about the fact that it's on sale. [Pic courtesy of Esquire]
Acknowledging -- if begrudgingly -- that Filson ain't for every guy, I thought it worth mentioning that Italy's own Trussardi 1911 is presently taking 50% off some very nice bags. The "Boston" above is down to about $470, to which you'll have to add $25 for shipping.
Swedish outdoor brand Fjällräven, which set up shop on Mott Street earlier this season, is now taking upwards of 30% off select stock. Its Expedition Down jackets -- considered a national treasure back home -- are, um, down to about $600. Designed in 1974, the construction of the Expedition is like two separate jackets that have been sewn together to make two chambers of warmth.
In store, Billy Reid -- a finalist in GQ's 2010 "Best New Menswear Designers in America" competition -- just marked down remaining F/W stock by a full 75%. Find similar deals online.

Friday through Sunday, 1/29-1/31, get to Buckler's end of season sale for 75% off F/W gear, and previous seasons' stock. This stuff is too fashiony for some guys. Some swear by Buckler's denim. Some love it all, and especially at 75% off. Beer will be on tap on Friday night at both locations. 
Through the end of the month, Motto & Crest is taking 60% off some very cool silk, cotton, wool, and leather neckwear. A little bit rock & roll, a little bit public school, Motto & Crest ties are all designed and made in England using "traditional" fabrics and craftsmanship.
