— Tue, 25th November 2008 —

Likely through the New Year, Nom de Guerre is taking 30% off select items. The store’s multi-level bunker — once a meeting place of the Black Panthers — carries military-inspired sportswear, including pea coats, windbreakers, striped knits, and printed T’s.

Today through Dec 7, Saks is taking an additional 50% off items that were already marketed down by 40%. 

**Update: A reader writes in from the front lines — “Hit the 7th floor at lunch. Lots of merchandise still on the floor but its a bit of a mess. Some of their markdowns are still full price a few blocks uptown. Getting someone to help you in shoes is pretty much hopeless. Go with a lot of time to spend….”**
Separate from that in-store promotion, here are a few finds from the Web site:

• Theory “Lennon” jacket down from $300 to $90
• Versace double-breasted pea down from $1250 to $440
• Etro plaid cotton shirt down from $300 to $85
• Zegna half-zip sweater down from $675 to $200
• James Perse zip-front hoodie down from $235 to $80

Future Knits

— Tue, 25th November 2008 —

Today through next Tuesday, December 2, get to the DDC Lab sample sale for 80-90% off the label’s bamboo tees, reflective climate-control jackets, and somehow-technologically enhanced chunky knits.

**Update: “This sale was awful,” says one trusty reader. “A lot of the clothing isn’t DDC Lab or even archive samples, just old crap they threw in there. Very few jackets and lots of boxy, straight leg denim. Not recommended.”**
DDC Lab sample sale – Chelsea Market – 75 9th Ave between 15th and 16th – Tue-Sat, Mon 10am-7pm; Sun 11am-6pm – Map
