Sample Sale Prices

[esque]

Generally speaking, what are prices for jeans like Nudies, Evisu etc at sample sales? I have a few pairs but never from a sample sale and wanted to know whether it would be a good idea to pick a few pairs up

...one more question are samples typically all a certain waist/length (kinda like how almost all men's nike samples are 9's)

[adsurgo]

ive been to evisu sample sales where the prices were 98 and also ones where theyve been 198. those were over a year ago so i dont know how close in range the prices are now.

what's a sample sale, exactly?

[sybaritical]

It's what happens when brands decide to shift whatever didn't sell from their previous season to the fashionista's, stylists and students who couldn't afford it/didn't want it when it was originally released, for considerably less than the original retail. They're usually a no frills attempt to shift odd sizes, colours or, ummm, samples but occasionally they turn up diamonds.

not necessarily true...

some sample sales are at the beginning of the season where you get the samples for the upcoming season... the stuff the reps have been driving around with showing off to all the stores.

and yea most sample sales are waist 32...t-shirt Large or Medium... and shoes 9 or 9.5
