Giltman Holiday Suit Sale, & why this one could be different

December 2, 2010 By Joe | Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. Also, we take your privacy rights seriously. Head here to learn more.

Giltman Thurs. 12/2 Noon ET – Hickey, Billy Reid, Calvin Klein, etc…

UPDATE:  Damn it Gilt.  It was 95% huge sizes or already sold out.  They’re grounded.

Okay Gilt.  You’ve been on a bit of a run lately.  The Cole Haan sale was nice.  Same with the Tommy Hilfiger sale.  The French Connection selection from yesterday was decent.  Things are looking up.

Now don’t blow it.

Although the last suit sale was a bust, this one today holds some glimmer of hope.  The brands are different than the usual DKNY/Kenneth Cole characters, and if memory serves… the Hickey Suits didn’t exactly sell out.  There might even be a couple 40Rs in the bunch.

For a comparison, Hickey Suits via Bluefly are currently running just over $700.  That’s pretty expensive.  We’ll see what Gilt offers them at.  Billy Reid is everywhere.  His suits run about a grand retail.  Perhaps they’ll be some more affordable brands too.  As always, watch for final sale items, and know that if you can return it, it’s for credit only.

If this sale is a complete joke we’re grounding Gilt on Dappered till 2011.  GILTMAN YOU ARE ON NOTICE.

    Half the sizes are gone from the start, smells like clearance. Extremely disappointed with Gilt.

    Although there was a Billy Reid for $500 and a Hickey lingering there too. It was almost all big and tall. If they wanted to have a big and tall sale, they just shoulda said Big and Tall. Gilt = Grounded. See ya in 2011.

    I’m pretty much ready to unsubscribe from that – I’m sick of getting emails everyday with a bunch of crap that is way out of my size, price range, or fashion sensibilities. It’s a great idea, but the execution just doesn’t seem to be there. It certainly makes sense why it took no time at all to get my account. I imagine they’re hemorrhaging.

    I’ve got my email on auto pilot. These days I instinctively just mark emails from Gilt as “Is Read.” lol… I’ll let Joe do all the dirty work and wait for one of these articles to be pro-gilt before I make another plunge. Sorry Joe 😀

    @Bryan: THANKS BRYAN. Kidding. We’ll see if they put another nice run together.
