The Choosy Beggar

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.”

For an as-yet undetermined period of time, Mott Street father-son haberdashery Sew is now taking 50% off suits, jackets, formalwear, shirts, pants, and ties. At retail, suits typically range from $1,850-$4,000; blazers from $1,350-$4,000; and shirts from $175-$350. In other words, we’re talking some serious sartorialism here.

Through Friday, get to private sample sale site RueLaLa.com for 60% off classic Tourneau watches. (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.)

Notes: Watch sizes are trending smaller at the moment, so you might steer clear of the clock-sized specimens. Also, with watches, brand is everything, and while a Tourneau won’t win you any pissing contests, they’re nothing to scoff at.
