Now that all the black-Tuesday, cyber-Sunday silliness is over, it’s time to get back to business. Officially, Thursday through Saturday, 12/6-12/8, Thom Browne is hosting a sample sale featuring, well, here‘s what readers found last fall.
The friends & family pre-sale is on Wednesday, 12/5, from 3m-7pm. To get in, you’ll need to RSVP — at rsvp@thombrowne — by 1pm on Wednesday. You’ll also be charged $25 at the door, all of which will go to the Mayor’s Fund for Hurricane Sandy.
Also, as the invite warns, “No eBay resellers permitted.”

The $25 apply thursday–sat too, or just Wed.?
i dont think you can make money reselling thom browne because there’s so much supply of it for sale. this guy thinks its still 2005.
If you are size 0 or 1, this would be a great sale.
I AM TALKING TO YOU TINY ASIANS!!!
@Jook you must not have been there last year. Literally, doors opened and a group of them scooped up almost the entire mens section, Thom Browne ebay sales spiked 130% ~ 2 weeks later. The last part I made up, but the first part is true,
@sam that was directed to you, not JookieWookie
“you must not have been there last year. Literally, doors opened and a group of them scooped up almost the entire mens section, Thom Browne ebay sales spiked 130% ~ 2 weeks later. The last part I made up, but the first part is true,”
What sizes did they have last year? What is a 0 or 1 in normal chest size?
did anyone get an early invite?
If anyone would like to proxy for me, I would appreciate it greatly + you can earn a few bucks! send me a message at mathiast@gmail.com
Is Thom Brown quality? Once upon a time I thought Theory was, and that notion was shattered by their last sample sale.
Yes – extremely high quality. Whether it fits is another matter.
Andrew, I agree with Adam above, Thom Browne is very high quality, all made in USA or Japan and lasts. I have shirts and ties I have worn for years. Theory on the other hand is mostly made in china and does not last.
Has anyone that has rsvp’ed gotten a response?
just a word of caution: you can’t show up to the wednesday sale unless you have been invited by the thom browne team. they have a checklist that your name/RSVP will be checked against. the $25 Sandy donation is only for wednesday.
and just how are they going to prevent ebay resale?
So how to RSVP? On twitter? There’s no email address here or if rsvp@thombrowne is an incomplete one. Beggar, please respond quick. Thanks.
Tao – I think RSVP should be sent to “RSVP@THOMBROWNE.COM”
is there a confirmation email for rsvp or do we just go? thank you.
Anybody got a confirmation?
I received a confirmation email last night saying I was confirmed for the list. I emailed my RSVP fairly early yesterday after announcing sale but not sure if they’re only taking a limited amount of RSVP’s. One would think they’d have to in order to avoid a chaotic situation. Good luck guys. I’ll report later…
Another offer to proxy and make a few bucks. I’m interested in ties. I’m at Edwin.sammons@interface.com
If anyone who sent in an RSVP and didn’t get an email back goes today and finds out they can still get in, let us know. I have no problems blowing off work for a reason, but having not gotten a response, not sure I can justify wandering over only to be savagely turned away.
If anyone will please proxy,,, I’m interested in a suit and speckled pants sz 0,, email alexcasoe at hotmail dot com ,,, thanks
NO ASIANS ALLOWED. THOM BROWNE SAID SO
Wtf is with the blatant racism
Well, Bubu. Thom Browne is owned by a Japanese company anyway. You racist piece of shxt.
I am here waiting. They did NOT respond to the RSVPs. If you sent one I was told you can get in. About 20-25 waiting so far. Also told lots of stuff but small sizes 0-1, some 2′s.
was that lots of small sizes or not
please let us know how much they have in size 2 (suits and shirts)
Lots of smalls.
Any shoes in 13?
Any sense what is available in size 4? ie – is it worth stopping by?
thanks
They have shirts in 4. Did not see shoes about an 11
prices similar to last year?
Sale not worth it. Kinda sucked. First 10 people grabbed all the knits and good stuff. Still 25 in line and more than 25 inside when I left. Won’t be much left
These sample sales ever hear of LIMITS?!! Damn. When a guy walks out w/ 10 sweaters, that should be a sign.
Any womenswear?
So yeah the prices are much higher this year…
any denim jackets?
how late is the sale open today?
There’s no RSVP list. If you show up they let you in. Prices are ok not great. Worth it for the shoes and boots. They’re not restocking. Whatever is out that’s it. I figure it’ll be cleaned by tomorrow.
Some denim jackets lurking somewhere. Ties are cleaned out. Suits are, too. Tons of shirts in all sizes, but none of them are any good, really. Not worth the wait.
Price list? Shirts still $40 Shoes $100?
any scarves and knits left for men?
Any Long Wings in 10?
Restocking if they decide to open more boxes of stuff. More boxes in the back. Just lazy.
Prices are about twice as high as last year.
There is no line to get and no RSVP list. Stock for men is all sizes 00-5. Also a bunch of women stock also. Prices are definitely atleast double last year
Men:
Shirts $95
Suits $500
Knits 275
Ties 75
Shoes 300
Boots 400
There was also scarves, jeans, pants, purses, and etc.
Didn’t get prices for women. A lot of stock left since most ppl are buying.
Also shoe sizes from 9-13 of various pebble boots and suede lace ups
What shoes do they have? Sizes?
Any other shoes than suede? Pebble?
