This semiannual event is typically a solid resource for suits and formal wear.Update: Thursday afternoon, Racked is reporting long lines, which it blames on the small elevator at Metropolitan Pavilion. If you're planning a Thursday visit, also anticipate 50% off Dolce & Gabbana prices, i.e., no steals. Expect a more thorough report later in the day.

i 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).
