"I saw a sack blazer on offer one time in 2017!" <br /><br />So with that in mind, about a month ago, I stumbled across their website for the first time since the pandemic to see how their Chapter 11 was going. I saw this same item you mention. Then I noticed the homepage still having "fall" references in early January. I know supply chain issues are going on, but many deeper pages of their stock seemed to occupy the same uncanny valley that Bill's Khakis' site does, where it looks like it is actually being run by someone trying to sell leftover stock from their garage. Their reboot of the soft-collar oxford shirt from about four years ago (that I actually liked) is just plain gone as is that factory. Graphic tees. I can't kid myself anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714922182513339530.post-84974304174825180912022-01-31T14:21:51.735-05:002022-01-31T14:21:51.735-05:00As time goes by . . .As time goes by . . .Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11688187442810217079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714922182513339530.post-55755095899934848532022-01-26T19:25:07.005-05:002022-01-26T19:25:07.005-05:00Eww.Eww.Jill S.
