Every guy needs a few swank suits for those nights out at The Boom Boom Room -- or whatever they call it now -- weekends in Vegas, etc. And there's no better place to pick up said suits than the Dolce & Gabanna sample sale. Hour-long lines persisted all day, Thursday. Whether that changes or not, it's worth the wait... for suits and formal wear. Best to avoid everything else unless you're considering enrolling in, or are presently enrolled in a professional clown school.

ReplyDeletei actually found a lot of the stuff quite wearable at this sale. long line at 6pm when i got there, and took about 40min to get inside. it's got everything; lots of stock, including shirts, trousers, ties, shoes, coats, sweaters, etc. with plenty of sizes and styles. discounts depend on the season, ranging from 60-90% off. but i didn't see anything for men that was 90% off, or 80% for that matter; the most discount i noted was 70% (with majority of the stuff at 60% off). a few suits at $1500 (-70%), the rest was $2000+ (-60%). tons of trousers, ranged from the upper $300's to $900. tons of shirts, though solids (white, light blue, black) dominated, at $300-500 (60-70% off). the best deal were probably skinny ties that could be pick up for a song ($130-180 with 60-70% discount), though sadly, most of them were boring solids. the coats were ugly and outlandish. there were lots of shoes, but i didn't bother with them. also some very nice smoking jackets, but the one i picked out had a tag for $2450 (-60%)... i put it back. i walked out with a suit and tie, together for $550-ish. i think it's worthwhile if you like D&G, just be prepared for the prices (which are very high for RTW).
