  1. What does "invite only" entail? How does one get an invite?

  2. @ Anonymous 11:47 - that link has nothing to do with this sale, correct? You're just hoping people will sign up for Gilt using your reference?

  5. I just came back from there. Mostly picked over.

    Suits are mainly 40/50 or 44/54 with some 46/56. Mostly pinstripes and tux. A good rack of sports coats but mostly too funky or too dark for summer wear.

    Not much shoes. I would say 1/3 of last sale. Maybe a good time to buy sneakers at cheap.

    Dress shirts are horrid but there are nice PS shirts in M and up. Decent causal pants / jeans but nothing sparked my interests.

    There are two buckets of ties and a single bucket of socks.

    The selection is less than the last sale.

    I didnt think its worth it. Wasted an hour.

  7. A couple of my buddies just turned up, and the salespeople are apparently requiring shoppers to state which employee referred them. Who should they name drop?

  14. Apologies all around. The good news is that Beggar Inc. recently brought on a topnotch developer/designer who's spearheading a full relaunch within the month. More to come...

  15. I vote a ban on the anonymous commenter names. 15 anonymous's in a row is ridiculous.
