Yep. Thursday through Saturday, 10/11-10/13, Gant is co-hosting its famous sample sale featuring up to 80% tons of preppy sportswear. Expect Gant, Gant Rugger, Gant by Michael Bastian… the whole nine.
Pre-sale? That would be tomorrow, 10/10, from 1pm-7pm. Yes, there will be a guest list, so, no, we can’t guarantee your admittance. Also, the invite says 225 5th Ave btw 26th and 27th, but we assume the event is being held at 260 5th Ave btw 28th & 29th.

Any word on if this sale will be as lackluster for smalls as last year’s?
Only extra large is the word on the street.
Is there street talk about this sale?
How does one get on the guest list?
Or how does one get past the guards?
Steps to gaining access to Gant Sample Sale on preview day:
1)”Excuse me Sir, I am supposed to be on the guest list”
2) “Sure, what is your name?”
3) *As man lifts clipboard, point to name on list*
4) “yes, that is me”
4.5) Enter the haven that is 260 5th Ave.
5) sing 2Chainz “Happy Birthday” as your browse the abundance of cheap clothing the Gant sample sale has to offer..cause all you really want for your birthday is a big booty hoe, but you gotta look fly, first.
6) go home and put together your shitty outfits for Thursday.

Anyone get into the pre-sale?
just got back, much less stock than last year, like 1/2 as much. Higher prices too. Mostly mediums, I left with a couple of scarves.
Blazers/ outerwear 175
shirts 45
pants 50.
Did they let you in or were you on a list?
@ kweezy
blagged my way in.
english?
@ kweezy
yes, but ive been living in the states for a few years
Any Michael bastian Cargo pants? Or Gant Rugger chinos?
I got some rugger chinos. Lots in 34 waist. Got couple
awesome blazers, shirts sweaters. Less than past years
Not much women’s stuff. All the Bastian was medium and small.
All in. 3 chinos, 4 sweaters, 2 blazers, overcoat, 4 shirts,
2 hats, 5 socks and a scarf.
Great if you like mainline in large or have a 34 waist.
Jojo we should meet. I’d love to “roll tide” with you
OMG ITS ALMOST 10 HOW MUCH STUFF R U GOING TO BUY!?
Terrible sale, nothing worth seeing
This was the first year I didn’t make the presale (damn you guestlist!) so maybe things were better yesterday, but the selection this morning was a little disappointing. Much less Rugger/Michael Bastian than in past years and smaller sizes of anything were hard to come by. Another bummer was that everything has been marked up heavily compared to prior sales. Pants and sweaters now $50, shirts $45 and the blazers $175.
That said, I bought three blazers (pretty much all the Ruggers that were left), one tie, one sweater and a canvas jacket that at $100 felt more like the steals of days gone by. With all that damage to my bank account it couldn’t have been that bad!
I’m pretty loyal to this brand, their clothes have served me well but I do miss the chiller vibe and better deals at the sales they used to host themselves. The 260 5th people seem bound and determined to turn the whole thing into a much more average experience.
yeah wasn’t great. But I will admit some of those 260 5th girls were definitely looking to party
sh$t is mass produced yo.
@sam. no way dude, Bastian handmakes each piece.
Made in China you say?
Went yesterday morning. Got some current season Bastian cords ($50) and a Rugger shirt ($45). I also saw some of the past summer Bastian stuff, a few Rugger Crew sweaters, and the red Bastian windbreaker. Overall, more expensive than last year and not as much good stuff.
everything made in china.
Went yesterday afternoon & was disappointed. Not a lot of Bastian left. Maybe most of it went during the presale or earlier in the day. I didn’t get anything because there wasn’t anything that I really wanted. I think the sale would be good if someone is looking to buy his wardrobe for the season but for something looking to add a few pieces nothing to write home about.
went yesterday afternoom and the best on this sale was the music xd
@!!! yes, Michael Bastian has handmade items as part of *his line. Cucinelli used to do the majority of it I think…but the Bastian for GANT stuff is all made in the Far East.
Death of the Gant sample sale. Overheard next year prices will be retail.
Anyone know the final day discounts or prices? Thanks.
Rolllllllllllll tide!
Thanks for the insight! You guys rock!!
i hooked up with one of the 260 5th girls!
Sale extended until 5 pm today with “last sale day” prices
@Jeremy Sarcasm, bro.
Double the prices from years before. Pants $50 from $25 blazers, jackets $200 from $100. Fucc you Gant!
