The Right Direction

— Fri, 7th November 2008 —

Through Sunday, Reiss is taking 20% off everything. We hesitate to post any sale under 30% off, but it’s probably a sign of bigger market-downs to come.

Forget About It!

Now, We’re the first to commend Hugo Boss for successfully distancing itself in recent years from its image as, er, mafia chic. The label is actually making some nice, if still a bit boxy, suits these days. Unfortunately, having just been chased out of its sample sale by two goons (just for covering the thing), we might have to reconsider.

The sale itself is nice — No lines; ‘Plenty’ of merch; Okay prices:
Heavy coats – $400
Light coats – $200
Leather jackets – $400
Leather coats – $500
Sports coats – $300, 2 for $550
Suits – $400, 3 for $1,100
Tuxes – $400, 3 for $1,100
Shirts – $59, 3 for $159
Knits – $80
Dress shoes – $140
Casual shoes – $80
Dress pants – $100
Casual pants – $80
Jeans – $80
Ties – $40, 3 for $100
Hugo Boss sale – 317 W 33rd St between 8th & 9th – **Credit cards only** Fri, Mon 8am-7pm; Sat, Sun 9am-7pm; Tue 9am-5pm – Map

How The Mighty Have Fallen

Our friendly Bergdorf’s floor manager said it couldn’t happen; that Bergdorf’s doesn’t bow to market pressure; that Bergdorf’s isn’t Barneys. Well, it could, it does, and it is — Through Sunday, the style citadel is reducing select men’s wear by about 30%. You can check it out in store or online, but we’d wait until the markdowns get even sweeter.
