I believe, at least from previous years, it is online as well. I generally would wait till the end of the season to go to your local flagship or have items shipped to you from other stores for 60-80% off. PL and BL at less than that is simply overpriced, especially PL. and if you happen to be in the nyc area, the sample sale around the beginning of june has a great selection for 65-85% off on all BL and PL.

sorry if this is the wrong thread but i couldnt find a RL black label thread. I was talking to a sales associate who is telling me that I can wear RL dress shirts and they'll have a slim fit. My measurements are 16.5 neck, 38 chest, 32 sleeve, 32 waist. From what I am finding, a 16.5 neck RLBL shirt will have around a 46-48" chest. that is beyond hope for tailoring isnt it?

custom made or can a shirt be tailored that much? even at 50% off a BL dress shirt is still $150 + cost of tailoring. i'm sure i could get custom made shirts for cheaper than that i just havent seen any places that has great fabrics or reputation. any recommendations?

i had a sales associate look up some Black Label prices on this private sale, kind of disappointing, was only 30% off. great a $550 cashmere crewneck $400 + tax just in time for 100 degree heat, not enough to excite me to buy anything

well i would wait until it's 70% off but by then all that will be left is XL and XXL lol. supposedly its a company strategy to make not enough smalls and mediums because people who buy those sizes are the most likely to pay MSRP

That sounds like straight up bullshit.

i'd love to know the real reason! if small/mediums are so popular, why not make more and fewer XXLs? It brings me back to my days in middle or early high school struggling to try to wear men's clothing rather than boy's. Looking thru rack after rack, hoping a small was put back in the wrong place. And then settling for the ugly striped shirt because i found 1 in a small.
