(We know you prefer multiple choice, but there are too many brands past their prime to list…. so please use the comments section to tell one special label to go to hell!)

Nautica Sample Sale

— Fri, 24th June 2011 —

This is odd. Monday through Wednesday, 6/27-6/29, Metropolitan Pavilion is hosting a Nautica sample sale. We say odd because, in all the years we’ve been covering sales, we can’t recall ever mentioning a Nautica event. Also, despite some serious top-down executive efforts, Nautica seems to have remained a brand adrift — No distinction, direction, integrity… We’d suggest the sale for some functional beachwear, but, honestly, we wouldn’t be caught dead in the stuff.

Nautica Sample Sale – Metropolitan Pavilion – 123 W 18th St between 6th & 7th – 5th Fl – Mon 11am-7pm, Tues-Wed 10am-7pm – Map

Got to give it up for Buckler, which, while hardly alone in the half-off department, is now taking a full 50% tons of S/S stock.
