From The Blessed Stuart & Wright Sale

— Tue, 3rd February 2009 —

Just coming back from the Stuart & Wright sale where we found an impressive selection, including several truly rock-bottom deals. The sale goes though Sunday, from 12pm to 7pm daily. Oh, and the commute on the C train couldn’t be easier.

Obedient Sons shirts for just $40! (Turns out that S&W was the recipient of OS’s remaining stock)
Not as a sweet a deal, but we’re loving these OS waxed jackets for $200
Men.Style’s peacoat of the year, from Unis, for just $120!
At a fraction of their retail price, piles of Mason’s pants for just $25!
In an entire rack of very nicely priced Rober Geller, find these felt bombers for $200!
… And RG shirts for just $60!
Shoes — from Geller, Comey, and YMC — make the only less-than-impressive showing
