Also came in -- a tiny bit more merchandise from Patrizia Pepe (made in Italy), including some more accessories. Shoes also came in from Donald Pliner -- make sure if you're looking at buying these that you get ones marked 'made in the mountains of Italy' -- the ones in the blue box w/out that slogan are made over in China and are not styled as well as the Italian ones.
Finally got back to the Philly store after a brief hiatus...a few good things: Quality ties are back (perhaps our skinny tie hell has ended?), including several great wool ties from a small shop in Roanoke, VA, called Davidson's and Holland & Sherry (a premier British fabric producer). Another good buy is the Leighton doorman umbrella (16 ribs versus the usual 8...real wood handle)...very high quality for the $11 they are charging.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up. I will have this in a full post when I have more time to get around to it, but the vendor code indicates that the ties you noticed are closeouts from Gitman Brothers -- I also noticed one from Jack Spade there w/the same code.
ReplyDeletelooking forward to it...Davidson's is the manufacturer...interesting to see it was sold through Gitman's, though....hope they get more!
