Saks Upends Luxury Market

Good thing I didn't know about this:-)

Saks Upends Luxury Market With Strategy to Slash Prices - WSJ.com.

Some Companies Get It Right! Thanks Brooks Brothers!!

So I've been wearing Brooks Brothers shirts for a couple of years now and needed to make some additions to the wardrobe. Having been in the BB family for awhile now, I was aware of the twice a year sales offered so I placed my purchase. 10 shirts, two bow ties, and two pairs of pants later I was done and happy. 

I woke up early the next morning (Christmas morning) and was looking around on the internet while everyone else was getting ready and saw that BB was now offering an additional 15% off of the already sales price. With my purchase amount, that added up to more than a few dollars. I took a chance and emailed them explaining the situation, but didn't hear back...until just now.

I received an email this morning explaining that due to the order being in process they could not make any adjustments at this time. HOWEVER, once the order had been shipped, they would credit me back the additional 15%!!! In addition, BROOKS BROTHERS had ALREADY made adjustments to my other purchase (I made the order in two purchases...had to get more).

I think that's awesome! The could have easily not emailed back or said that all sales are finally, but they went out of the box for a client. I loved Brooks Brothers before and honestly even if they hadn't given any money back, I was happy about my purchase. Now they get a post explaining something they did that so few companies would do. 

If you wear dress shirts and haven't tried Brooks Brothers wrinkle free, give them a try. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised and one day they may just step out and say thank you for shopping with us as they did with me. 

Peace!

I Like

The Asics Mateo, $50. I could rock these with some TRs.

Loving Chauncey's New Shoe!

I would so rock these new shoes for Chauncey Billups if I still played a lot. Love the gold! What can I say, my feet like attention:-)

Nintendo NES Cufflinks!!!

OK, this has got to be one of the coolest things I have seen in
awhile. I'm a banker and I like to rock the cufflinks whenever I
can. I have a few pair already, but nothing like this.

It's amazing how much attention cufflinks get as it is. Rocking these would be a sure conversation starter:-)

What do you think? Price tag on these bad boys is somewhere around $22, which is CHEAP for cufflinks.

I'll let ya know if I throw down.

Peace!

New Air Jordan Shoes!

No doubt Mike Jordan is the man! This color version of his new shoes comes out late December. I'm liking the kicks a lot, but I'd need to work on my game a ton before I could ever wear these:-) Ah, perhaps a little motivation to attempt to get my game back. The games we play as we get older.

Peace!

The Real Storm Trooper Hoodie. I want one!

I'm not even a HUGE "Star Wars" fan, but I want one of these Storm Trooper hoodies by Marc Ecko. It's super different, the price isn't bad ($98), and the color rocks! Apparently a lot of other people want one too, because they're sold out.

Hood:

Yes, it looks like you can see through the eyes:-)

Thank you Hugo Boss:-)
