Whoa, Gap just relaunched its 1969 denim line — minimally adorned, medium-weight raw-denim for under $60! — which Material Interest appears to kinda-sorta endorse. Could these puppies give $160 A.P.C.’s a run for their converted currency? We’re going to have to wait ’til August, when they hit shelves, to find out.
**Update: One just found the new ’69’s in store, and he sounds like a very happy customer.**
The city’s virtually bursting at the seams with discounted Hickey Freeman. There’s the in-store and online 40% off sale through Saturday. Through Monday, there’s the online 60% off sale at Ruelala.com (Once you follow the link, select “Invited by a Member,” and then enter the email address VIP@ruelala.com as your key to get in). Then, beginning Sunday, the Soiffer Haskin gallery is hosting an HF warehouse sale where prices could drop by as much as 80%.
Hickey Freeman sale – Soiffer Haskin – 317 W 33rd between 8th & 9th – Sun 9am-6pm, Mon-Wed 9pm-6:30pm, Thurs 9am-5pm – Map
At 12 noon, two very different, yet very cool brands — Rogues Gallery and McQueen for Samsonite — go on sale at Gilt.com. HERE‘s your invite to the members-only shopping site.
Friday and Saturday, $20 will get you into this season’s Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show, featuring some 80 vintage local and national dealers. Bring your imagination.
One man’s opinion: “Went to the last one and it was complete rubbish. There were maybe 2 or 3 vendors with men’s clothing, and just like the women’s clothing, anything that looked halfway decent cost at least twice what it’s worth. Unless they’ve greatly changed the vendor line-up, I highly recommend skipping this event.”
Metropolitan Pavilion – 125 W 18th St between 6th and 7th – Fri 1pm-8 pm, Sat 11am-6pm – Map
