— Thu, 18th September 2008 —


Bolstered by their colleague Tim Blanks, Thoreson & Peskowitz soldier through this show report, though they’re all clearly in need of several spicy bull shots and a good night’s sleep. It’s not all fun and games, kids. It’s not all fun and games.

This Saturday through next Sunday, 9/28, the denim-heads over at Earnest Sewn are having their seasonal sample on select apparel and jeans. We’re talking straight-leg jeans reduced from $210 to $75. [NYMag]

Now, if you know what’s good for you, you’ll get over to the shop before Saturday and let the clerks give you their undivided attention in determining exactly which make and model is right for you. A sample sale is neither the time nor the place for such time intensive work. Plus, if you behave, you might just get them to set aside that perfect pair for you.

Earnest Sewn sample sale – 831 Washington St nr Gansevoort – 8am-8pm daily – 212-242-3414 – Map

Esquire has taken what appears to be a good 5 minutes to assemble this “guide to navigating the world of low-price, high-volume style.” Thanks, Esquire! You lazy son’s of bitches.

Close-Knit

It’s not often that Will of A Suitable Wardrobe talks sales, but he’s graciously noted that Michigan outfitter J. L. Powell has momentarily slashed the price of its linen crew neck sweaters from $298 to $115. And, Will’s confirmation that they’re “beautifully knit” is one recommendation you can take to the bank.
