[lmaozedong]

chronoaug: i bought that belt..

[yupsterism]

huh. why so quiet? it's rag and bone sale day.

im so angry that i didnt get any of the size 30 cotton flat front pants ;(

[geekbonchic]

Enh, the pickings were marginal at best.

[Larry!]

I felt the prices weren't as good as the other sales..and yeah, nothing really of note.

[cjbreed]

it was disappointing and sold out super fast in most sizes and pieces

[e0d9n0b5]

the only good shit on here was the TH leathers and the reversible wool, and i wasn't fast enough finding a US shipping address.

I think you guys are mistaking "quickly selling out" for "never being stocked in the first place" a lot of the time. I've gotten on once or twice within the first minute of the sale starting and plenty (read: most) of the decent sizes are already gone.

[cjbreed]

i think you're right

oh well, they are sample sales after all

[chronoaug]

They actually buy remaining stock from the brands themselves and sometimes have things from the current or upcoming seasons.

They don't have every size or lots of every size in stock. It varies but they generally have a fair amount. The few good items of each sale sell out really quickly in normal sizes. It'll be nice to see more brands favored by forum members in the future.

lmazeodong- i bought it too. In medium. Hopefully it fits

gilt groupe only recently started doing men's sales anyway so for the love of fuck, stop complaining. give it time. we will upgrade them.

He's right, Gilt's been taking the steps to figure out what their customers want. Running a company like that is really hard because each sale is a big risk, a buy that doesnt sell could be tens of thousands of dollars down the drain. Anyway, they've been selling out like crazy recently, I'm just hoping new shit is better. The people I talked to at Gilt say there should be CDG, Raf and Jil soon, but the riskier the brands the riskier it is for the company.

[chronoaug]

Man, you be snitching like crazy, son.

[likewtfyo]

[chris_n]

i have invites as well, just pm.

[chronoaug]

Anyone get any of the helmut lang stuff? There was an item or two i liked but couldn't get to the sale till 5pm and they were gone. I almost bought a rogan jean the other day but i wasn't sure on sizing. There has been a drought of brands sufu would be interested in lately, but hopefully that'll change soon.

[masuerte]

holla, I bought and satisfied my need for a leather jacket (hoodie) during helmut lang sale. Just got it yesterday, so soft, so light, so well constructed... and there's mild discoloration!!! I'm dissapointed but want to keep the damn thing as there is no way I'm going to find another piece like it.

[chronoaug]

That's weird. All the stuff i've gotten has been brand new.

Tim hamilton is next week. It's going to be mostly pieces from last sale but with some new ones thrown in there too. I might have to lug my big, crappy laptop to class so i can try and get something when the sale hits.

[Echotheory]

yup. have invites as well.
