Today. Before 7 p.m. Don’t be like me and blow it.

I spent part of the weekend catching up with old friends (worth it) and checking out Brooks Brothers and Paul Stuart (not worth it). More about that later. Right now, you need to get to the fcuk sample sale at Metropolitan Pavilion, 110 W. 19th St. before 7 p.m. today. Pray that there are a few scraps left because my friend left me this very enthusiastic voicemail a few days ago:

I’m at the French Connection sample sale and it’s amazing. It’s me and all the other short men in New York trying on what remains of their extra smalls. Fantastic prices. You’ve got to come tomorrow morning. It’s great.

Somehow, I failed to make it there this weekend. And now I’m headed upstate to visit relatives, so there’s no hope for me. Even if you don’t go to the sale, it’s a good reminder that French Connection in general is a good option for short men. They have XS sizing that’s slim and relatively short (even though it’s curiously not mentioned on their sizing chart. What gives, fcuk?). So if you miss the sale, suck it up and pay full price. It’s worth it.
