Friday through Sunday, 9/4-9/6, Oak‘s Brooklyn outpost is hosting a sample sale featuring upwards of 80% off whatever samples and merch didn’t sell during its recent end-of-season bonanza. Also, treat yourself to your own private sale online.

At some point over the next month, estimable men’s wear maker Seize sur Vingt in planning a move from Elizabeth to Greene Street, which can only mean one thing — Moving sale! More details to come. [Racked]
Update: Expect the sale to begin next Saturday, 9/12, and include markdowns on current stock from both Groupe and Seize sur Vingt approaching sample sale levels.
Some good copy from an experienced ad man: “Women like to wear the newest thing in their closet; men like to wear the oldest thing.” Slightly less elegant, but no less profound: “You don’t want to spend too much time on your clothes, but clothes are important.”
This is rare. Starting Thursday, 9/3, Japanese streetwear brand Bathing Ape will be taking 50-75% off past-season’s polos, Tees, button-downs, jackets, and kicks. Sale starts at 12noon.

Here’s your second reminder that Thursday, 9/3, Hickey — which just lost its NYC address — is hosting a sample sale featuring $200 suits, $150 sports jackets, and 80% of “everything else.”
Report from the field: “Very disappointing sale. Very little stock. Prior Hickey sample sales had 3x the number of product. Less than 15 suits and none that would be considered work appropriate much less in good taste. There was a broader selection of shirts and sweaters but we’re talking on a relative basis. I picked up 1 shirt for $20.”
Another Warning: We’re talking true sample sizes here, i.e., mostly 40 regulars and mediums, and it doesn’t look like cash will be accepted.
