Manhattan Sales Alert!!

[robw]

I’ve been to quite a few of these over the years.

You can check out the price list at the 260 sample sale website. Does not look like it is worth going to in my opinion

 

[Mariokartfever]

Currently in line, looks like most of the crowd is here for rag and bone

OK don’t make the same mistake I did, the Isaia sample sale is across the street from the reg and bone and doesn’t have a line

Didnt end up going in - I waited in the Rag and Bone line from 10:00 - 10:15, realized I was in the wrong spot, then crossed the street to Isaia only to realize it didn't open until 11.

It's been a morning.

Will check in later this afternoon.

checked it out - bit of a bust. Way less selection than the old Isaia/Eidos sample sales.

Lots of 50-54 sportcoats. Odd sized pants (no 52 at all). Prices are a flat 75% of retail by category, so something things end up being decent deals but others don't.

Small selection of Antonio-era Eidos stuff in the back but its going for Isaia prices.

...Way less selection than the old Isaia/Eidos sample sales.

Je me souviens

I cannot resist going to a certain sale our friends from the south host in which you get an extra 20% off when you buy three or more of the same item type. (Ples don't blow this sale up more than this has gotten blown up in the past couple of years, and those who know ples kep omerta).

Be great if any SFers want to meet up for the first day/entry so we can pool purchases and take advantage of the discount. Anybody down?

And we're back:

Isaia Sample Sale

Tuesday, June 6 - Saturday, June 10 : 11AM - 7PM
Sunday, June 11 : 11AM - 4PM

260 Fifth Avenue, New York NY 10001

I probably won't make it into the first day, would be good if someone here could check it out and report back.

These sales range from "awesome" to "complete waste of time."

I'm laying 3:1 this is a complete bust. Takers?

COVID took a lot from me, but this was probably the biggest blow.

Depends on yr. level of spoiled and size/how the stuff fits you. Pre-covid there was still great separates, sweaters, and coats. Lots of deals on cashmere in particular. If you were into Eidos, there was some really good deals on that too (RIP).

In the new world, hordes of the unwashed clear out diffusion line mistakes at highly inflated prices.

 

[clee1982]

ah, Eidos, such a long time memory by now...

 

[Mariokartfever]

Last Isaia sample sale before covid (early 2020) had a full rack of Antonio era Eidos suits for $50.

The last day they marked all Isaia shirts/pants an additional 50% off.

That was the best one in a while.
