I always assumed the constant sales were part of their business strategy to price as a premium brand but still appeal to the average person. ON, Gap and BR are all the same product just marketed differently with some overlap but still enough to differentiate between the 3.
Yup, it's what they do. They may close more stores but I doubt they close for good
Anything over 50% is a good deal. The typical deal is 40% off with exclusions on BR picks and Monogram. Black Friday it was 50% off with no exclusions. There was another deal recently which was 40% off plus 20% off, which was over 50% in the end, but there were exclusions. The deal right now (esp. at 60% off sale items) is really good because some of the Monogram is already on sale. The suit I just bought was over 70% off and if I had Gift Cards bought at 20% off it would have been a huge discount. Would have been just over 200 for a Monogram suit and the wool should be super 110's or 120's so you can't beat this kind of price regardless of the discount or regular price. However the selection is very very slim at this point. Regarding Outlets, if you research online, you'll find that Gap and BR outlets carry a separate line of clothing so you won't find any of the BR suits at a BR outlet, they'll be completely different suits and it'll be obvious the quality is not the same.
And never forget your ebates (4% atm) or GCR (5.5% atm)! With all these combined, you are getting a pretty good deal imo.MoneyHypeMike wrote: ↑ Some really good price for that sale, definitely need to pick up a good amount of gift card next time there is a 20% sale.
Buying suits without the GC deal kills me, but what can you do... Still a great deal though for quality suits that fit me well.virtuman1980 wrote: ↑ And never forget your ebates (4% atm) or GCR (5.5% atm)! With all these combined, you are getting a pretty good deal imo.
dont stock up on GC unless you consistently use them. Gap, BR, Old navy are in trouble, but dont see them going bankrupt anytime soon.MoneyHypeMike wrote: ↑ Some really good price for that sale, definitely need to pick up a good amount of gift card next time there is a 20% sale.
Yep, I usually stock up before the Christmas season since that is when they have their best sale usually.
I've only been watching for a few months so I dont' know about these email coupons but I definitely wouldn't say it's standard. I got a Monogram suit for 270. That's cheaper than the non-monogram suits. With a GC it would have been 210. I can't imagine it being cheaper than that at any other time since I haven't even seen the monogram on sale in the few months I've been following and it's usually excluded from the regular discount.joshlock wrote: ↑ This is a pretty standard sale that happens probably 10 times a year. The real deals are when they email out coupons that can be stacked on top of these sale prices. They do it just once a year in winter, which already passed. If you missed it, sign up for the email coupons and wait until next winter haha.
