The belts were at Friendship Heights in the regular belts section. Most of the regular belts are organized i.e. all Trafalgar together, all Polo Ralph Lauren together, and those two are on one rack with all the miscellaneous belts on it nearest the wall. They seemed to be your basic dress belt in brown and black. I saw those two belts last month so they should be 70% off. It is possible there are Borrelli belts in the latest shipment that won't be discounted mixed in there too.

They had a few other styles here and there. All prices were $400 plus.

Thanks. The Borrelli eyelet derbies made by Sutor (blue soled) were also on sale in the Borrelli shops (2 nowadays) in Rome. Price was EUR 200 (approx USD 260). If you like these, considering the price difference, I recommend calling the Borrelli shop in Rome and ask whether they will ship.

Starting Wed, Feb. 11th, Neiman Marcus Last Call (Arundel Mills location) is having yet another $150 off any suit sale. I saw a nice Oxxford suit, a Isaia Napoli, and a couple Zegna (mainline).

Also, this is an odd request, but I have a Buy One Get One 50% coupon for any item in the store, which can be combined with the $150 sale. Is there a DC member looking to buy ONE suit that would be willing to let me use the 50% on this Zegna suit that I have been eyeing for about a month, out of the goodness of your heart?? (Please PM me...worth the try!)

Also saw some Borrelli belts at the Connecticut Avenue store, first floor, belt section. A very soft light brown alligator belt (large scales) for I think $125 (I might have been factoring in the 20% coupon I had with me) and some Borrelli ribbon/leather belts. Didn't get anything though - wanted a darker brown alligator belt - this one was too light in color, but VERY soft... "retail" was I think $450.

Oh and upstairs they had a KILLER Borrelli tuxedo - working button holes, the works... I think the price was close to $3,000, down from 7k. But it wasn't peak lapel so I passed. Still, killer.

Sky Valet in Georgetown has some Vass shoes on sale for $390 + free shipping.

Both are black, one is a basic black captoe Oxford on the R last, the other is a Derby style wingtip on the Peter last. Only sizes 45.5 and 46 left but just thought I'd pass the word along.

Filene's basement in Rockville has received a lot of Armani and Dolce and Gabbana.
The sales associate at the store informed me that both of the DC FBs have a lot more of the same. Though there is no sale associated with them yet, at the FB full price as of right now.

Nordstrock rack in gaithersburg received some Burberry polos - 40$ each, the Burberry pants are on sale 35% off 80$ right now. There are a lot of Diesel t-shirts at that Rack, along with several Armani suits.

I believe the RRL store in Georgetown is closing on the 21st, so there might be sale stuff to be found.

Are these the 3 button Armani Collezioni suits? Hell, I tried on one at the Potomac Mills Rack and they were horrendous. It was 1980s style with the heavy should padding and wide pants.

What's the cost for the DG? I went to FB in Rockville last week and was fortunate enough to try on some piss stained pants. The Armanis I asw last week was the gaudy club wear gear.

Do they have any new stuff for their %25 off sale?

Yes, there are the 3 button jackets/blazers and 1 button blazers, not the full suit. They look fairly old style. All the sizes were quite large also. 'In the same rack there were classic style Burberry blazers as well.

I'm sorry about your repulsive piss stain experience, i'm going to be inspecting crotch for yellow stains from now : )

I haven't gone to FB since but all the vault clothing was at the FB regular price. I don't think I saw any D&G for men's, unless I missed it. There were a lot more Armani and D&G racks for women in rockville. I may get a chance to go to the FB in the mazza gallerie over the weekend.

That was the word on the street that I heard a few days ago, but I haven't tried to call them to confirm.
