Mickey’s Crew
— Mon, 14th June 2010 —
What can we say? Under Mickey Drexler, J.Crew has risen from a forgettable also-ran to the foremost name in casual menswear. The Wall Street Journal‘s WSJ. magazine pays tribute to the man and his magic-making.

The official Isaia sample sale goes through Friday, 6/18, but worthwhile stock is unlikely to last through tomorrow. Unlike your typical sample sale, this event favors larger guys, but — regardless of size — you’ll need to sift through some chaff to find the wheat.
It’s cramped at the Odin sample sale — and some guys were leaving bag-free — but we found some nice pieces at some very nice prices. You’ve got through next Monday, 6/21, but don’t wait. The bulk of the stock consists of Oliver Spenser, Trovata, Chimala, Coventry… Less so, Richard Chai, Engineered Garments, Our Legacy, Rag & Bone, Robert Geller, Ducky Brown… Sizes, meanwhile, vary more widely than your average sample sale.
Thursday and Friday, 6/17-6/18, our favorite mountaineering brand Fjallraven is hosting a sample sale featuring S/S activewear, bags, and, no doubt, a few surprise items.
Through Thursday, enter to win one of Fjallraven’s iconic Kanken daypacks by ‘Like’ing this post — and Fjallraven’s Fan Page — on Facebook. (The bag will be waiting for the winner — who we’ll randomly choose and contact on Thursday — at the sale. We’d also ask that the winner be willing to take a pic with the bag as proof that the giveaway did in fact go down.)
Made of super-durable vinylon — and measuring 15″H x 11″W x 5″D — this classic and utilitarian daypack is machine washable, and comes with a removable seat cover in the inside back. Arguably more important is its undeniable cool factor. Retail price: $65.
CONTEST UPDATE: We’ve randomly selected a bag winner, and sent him the good news. Stay tuned for a picture of the winner with his prize.
