Anyone else going? I was going to tag in @Will Zach this year but he moved away from leather country!

I'm thinking about possibly going.

Depending on my schedule, I may go.

Lol, yeah, I am in a flip flops and tank tops country now. But still hope to wear jackets when I am in Europe part of the year!

You’d clean up. There are often a ton of cool jackets your size that get passed by because they’re tagged 44 or something but it’s actually a reverse vanity size for a Japanese retailer so it doesn’t fit the people that size.

That's good to know. Never been to one of these factory sales. I've been told the baseline for a leather is around $200-$400. If I can find a HH 613 for around that price, I'm all over it!

I did indeed see a NWT 613SH for $400 last year!

Only factory sale? No online sale?

Guess they don’t want our money or the shipping hassle.

In person only, cash and carry.

 

[Aloysius]

The whole point is to clear out what's in the factory at minimal cost. Having been there, it would not be viable at all to have an online option. Many of these things don't even have retail SKUs let alone photos. And then there's the transaction and time cost of online, plus shipping. Ends up being a big loss at that point.

If anyone has any requests, please let me know size, requests and budget. Also, whether you’re okay with a minor blemish (in which case sometimes the deals are bigger). I’ll check in the morning and write up requests to take with me to the factory.

I wanted to post this days ago but with the site’s current dysfunction I didn’t get a chance until now.

Do you know what time you need to get in line?

I’m in the market for a brown cafe racer in size 40 if you see one.

I went at about 8 but there was tons of great stuff until the end—the early rush often goes right to things like tees, not TFL stuff.

I will keep an eye out!

I'm arriving in NY tomorrow evening around 8pm. Right day, wrong time

Schott just posted 310 people waited in the pouring rain. Maybe next year I can join the reindeer games.

Fun trip as usual. Fewer leather jackets than last year, especially cross zips and cafe racers, however there were some really cool jackets of other kinds. (Lots of outdoor oriented leather jackets.)

Also one of the Schott employees was wearing a stunning 60s Cal.
