At Parlor Showroom Sample Sale

— Thu, 3rd June 2010 —

If you’re in the band, or want to look like you are, get to The Parlor Showroom sample sale through Saturday, 6/5, for steep markdowns on silk-lined seersucker 3-piece suits, tuxes, dress shirts, graphic Tees, and select outerwear — all of which will significantly increase your chances of getting past the velvet rope. Expect sample sale sizes, and, while we never encourage haggling, these guys want rid of this stuff come Saturday night.

All the sexy after the jump…
