^^ +1 That jacket looks even better IRL. The LP fabric is extraordinary.

I am thinking about getting the green cardigan in the Gatsby collection. Will that ever go on sale?

I don't think Gatsby has been excluded from storewide stuff such as F&F, the last of which coincided with the movie's release. I know some but not all Gatz was reduced during the "summer clearance" sale. The green Nick was not part of the clearance.

Based on that I'd say you'll have to wait for the next F&F or Corporate storewide event.

Note that the retail one has a higher buttoning point than the one in the movie and the piping is also a bit different.

Thanks. I went to BB and returned some shoes and I decided to get the Gatsby OCBD and the cardigan. They didn't have the cardigan in my size so they are sending it from another store.

Yeah I see those differences. In the movie it really looks good on Tobey. I'll try it out and see how it is on me. I just bought a RRL cardigan in faded olive so I might not keep both.

This one:

You should have saved up for the new $498 dress chino.
Those look nice but I have found a bunch of Zegna pants like that at the thrift store so I am full up in that department. I almost never find cardigans while thrifting. I found a Christian Dior one once but it is Acrylic and it is kind of a weird orange color that is hard to pair with stuff.

So can anyone hazard a guess as to when the next F&F, Corporate event, or other worthwhile sale will be? I need to stock up on some shirts and trying to decide whether to wait for a sale, or just take the discount given when you buy 3 or more

Can someone please help a law student here plan a strategy for buying a quality briefcase during the sales?

I have a BB Corporate Membership and the BB card. The way I see it, I can buy during the Corp Members sale in October (30% off plus 15% kicker with first-time purchase), or early December category-specific sale (40% off leather accessories plus 15% kicker), or after Christmas SA sale (30% off plus 15% after-X-mas only kicker plus 15% off first-time account kicker).

1. Are my discount numbers right for the sales?
2. Should I order online or go to the store and have them order it for me during sales (save shipping)?
3. Although you might save the most money after Christmas, do briefcases sell out fast online/are the server problems not worth losing your shopping cart?
4. Do certain sales exclude the brands I'm targeting i.e. SAB/Peal & Co, JW Hulme, and Brooks Brothers brand?

I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

My SA told me it was mid October for the Corp event.
