The Choosy Beggar

See that inconspicuous tent sitting on the corner of Spring & Wooster? Through Sunday, it’s home to the best sale we’ve been to in months… maybe a year. The shoe selection — Tretorn‘s claim to fame — is okay. (Few boots, and very basic kicks.) The cotton goods, however, are amazing! Beautiful, quality stuff — and all for just $25! Really, we wouldn’t hesitate to drop $200 on these pieces at Ralph Lauren around the corner.
Price List:

• Footwear – $30
• Sweaters, Shirts & Sweatshirts – $25
• Tees – $10
• Pants & Shorts – $30
• Bags – $25
• Jackets – $50

Oh, and according to a company rep at the sale, Tretorn has temporarily washed its hands of apparel. “It just didn’t make sense for us,” she said. Going forward, the Swedish sportswear brand will focus its efforts on boots, shoes, weatherproof outerwear (yeah, technically apparel), and working with other popular Swedish brands like Fjällräven and Happy Socks.
