A reader writes in: "Say what you will about our favorite shitshow. I got the best Barney's Warehouse Sale bargain ever, and I dare any racked reader to beat it. It took me a year, but I now have a beautiful Ermenegildo Zegna suit for which I paid $168.50. On the last day of the summer warehouse sale in 2007, I picked up a classic Zegna suit jacket for $99.50. My tailor went crazy for it--wool/silk, made in Switzerland, all by hand--and women agreed. What a shame the Barney's had lost the suit pants. Today, squatting at a bottom rack in that back corner with the blue tags, there are the matching pants, marked at $69. I think that reuniting this jacket and pants for only $168.50 may be one of my greatest lifetime accomplishments." [Racked Inbox; Previously]
