Lord & Taylor Sale and 10-Second Review

Starting Wednesday and lasting through Saturday, Lord & Taylor is having a secret "friends and family" type in-store sale.

Go here for a printable coupon. I'm not sure whether I was supposed to pass it on, so if they ask, keep where you got it a secret.

I actually dropped by my local L&T just the other day, and to my surprise, found a bunch of really great casual looks. Slick-looking black sports jackets, for instance. And a good supply of sharp ties and solid silk pocket squares. (Yes, pocket squares. You should own a handful, at least.) Great prices, too, which combined with the sort of spartan aesthetic of my local Lord & Taylor makes the store feel something like a discount chain. But it's not.

I did have a hell of a time finding suits in my size (which you wouldn't think would be a problem) but they still deserve a look simply for the truckload of suits they carry from Michael Kors' Michael line (which seems to fare better as far as suits go, rather than in other men's apparel.)
