MEXX 50% off this year?

[blasto]

Guys, I used to work in the US for a private label company who make clothes for Lacoste, GAP, Banana Rep, OP and some private labels for Nordstrom and Saks 5th Ave. Believe me when they mention 50% off they actually still making a lot more. So after knowing their cost...I never buy name brand clothings anymore unless they're less than $15. Even a nice 100% wool turtleneck only cost about US$3 - 4 to make and add shipping to the US (about $.50 per piece from China). Our company sold that same turtleneck to Macys for $18 - $20 and Macys turn around and tag it for $75 - 80. Now some of you may notice that how could Macys or the Bay have a 75% off sale and still make money. The reason is those big dept stores can chargeback discount to manufacturers to make room for mark down price.

Anyway I was down at Mexx today...yes it's 50% off but from regular price. MEXX is so overpriced...for the same quality of fabric ...you can get better prices elsewhere.

Gotta agree, went to STC nothing there interested me. Seemed like mostly stuff that never sells at regular price. Also it seemed like prices were higher this year, or maybe it was 50% off the lowest ticketed price last year.... either way, you were still looking around $30-40 for a mediocre long sleeve and the dress shirts were mostly blah.

Were jackets available at yorkdale or eaton centre? there were none at scarborough town centre. The jackets I remember seeing a while back were alright.
