For future reference–Steven Alan always has a preview the night before the sale officially begins, and they don’t check names. Sale was kind of light on jackets appropriate for spring. A little heavy on previous seasons. And too many sweaters in XL. But lots of shirts.
Think there will be a lunchtime line?
Went at 830 this morning, line around the block but inside within 15 minutes. Grabbed a bunch of great shirts and a few ties. Mayhem in there but a great selection for early birds. Took forever to pay.
I’m contemplating going during lunch, is this a stupid idea?
Just got back – no line as of 20 min ago…
no single needle shirts…lame
bought a crescent down works parka for $60 though…total score.
A LOT of reverse seams (we’re talking 98% of the shirts there). Went back this afternoon. Pretty much the same selection but they were restocking a few M’s and L’s.
A couple of the SA hunting jackets from last season in red/blue (only L, XL). And some very nice Saint James sweaters for $89 in solid cream or red.
Left empty handed though since the single needles are the only SA shirts that fit me, but best of luck to anyone going. There were some decent patterns in all sizes when I left.
I will never understand the beggar’s love for steven alan – unless the beggar is, in fact, mr. alan himself.
The shirts aren’t worth $65, definitely not worth the full price. The coats, jackets and vests, however, were a great deal at the sale.
what were the prices like for the jackets?
