The Choosy Beggar

Here’s maybe the best comment ever from Evan Rose in response to our Black/Brown 1826 post: “When I heard that name, I was all ‘what?’ It’s a. the stupidest name in the world, b. a desperate attempt to go after some demographic that I don’t know exists and if they do, they’re not shopping at L&T (have you been to their flagship in Manhattan lately? It’s a ghetto crossed with a ghost town) and c. they totally stole the knife in their logo from a shoe company whose name I can’t remember right now. Anyway, the thing failed before it even started.”

It’s not even November and Lord & Taylor is already marking down Joseph Abboud’s much ballyhooed men’s wear line, Black/Brown 1826, online.

Today through Friday, Kenneth Cole’s having a sale on ready-to-wear, shoes, and accessories. But be careful with this stuff. Neither Cole’s clothes, shoes, nor his accessories are known for their quality. Frankly, none of it is made very well.

Kenneth Cole sale – 261 W 36th St between 7th & 8th – 2nd fl – Tue-Thu 10am-7pm, Wed, Fri 10am-6pm – Map

At 12 noon today, Habitual Jeans go on sale at Gilt.com. The Beggar has your invite to the member’s only site HERE.
