The Choosy Beggar

Theory doesn’t make the best business basics in the world… but it doesn’t make the worst, either. Through Sunday, 12/11, the brand’s company store is hosting an overstock sale featuring tons of jackets, suiting, shirts, and sweaters for about 65% off. Here‘s what a Theory overstock sale looks like. We’re talkin’ charcoal sportcoats down from $600 to $250; dress shirts down from $145 to $60; outerwear down from $600 to $200; v-neck sweaters down from $200 to $80; … Oh, and Foursquare users can check in to receive an additional 10% off their purchase.

Through Thursday, 12/8, head over to 58th Street for 60% off Brunello Cucinelli overstock. No sign of Michael Bastian stock, this year. Also, be warned: Even at these discounted prices, Cucinelli’s fine sportswear — typically in sizes 46-to-58 — will set you back. Here‘s how past events went down.
