The Last Day at Theory Sample Sales Means You Don't Have Much Time to Think About

18 February 2016

With one day left of the Theory and Helmut Lang sample sale, there’s still plenty of merchandise available for purchase. We stopped by on Tuesday night to survey the offerings and were pleased with the impressive selection. Not only are there offerings for both men and women, but the sale features a variety of apparel types: outerwear, dress shirts, under shirts, vests, sweaters, breezy tops, pants, skirts, and plenty more.

Prices range from $50 (for tees, tops, sweaters and skirts) to $349 for shearling jackets, vests and fur. The rack of jackets, vests and furs is starting to look sparse, but there are still some standout options available. Based on original price tags and current posted prices, you can expect savings of up to 75% at this one.

In addition to samples, there are some slight irregulars. We inspected a lot of the items and didn’t notice too many issues. There were some threads loose in some of the sweaters and we saw one dress that had a broken zipper. If you’re worried about showing up and seeing a bunch of unwearable items, don’t fret too much. Just look through the items carefully and inspect everything before you purchase.
