My spouse worked for Tommy Bahama in Seattle. They used to have an employee sale for $5 fitting versions (test garments for models or sales reps to try) or rejects they wouldn't send to nordstrom rack... usually would have a very minor flaw. Sometimes a bit more. Got a blazer with a shredded liner for $15 for instance. Or a shirt missing 2 buttons. First time I handed them $100... got 20 shirts... Second time they complained that they didn't have big enough bags. I asked how much I could spend. They said $500. So I just gave my spouse ikea bags and $500 every 6 months for a few years. They came back with 250 worth of stuff in totally full ikea bags. I have several rubbermaid tubs of tb linen or silk shirts now. The joke was that I'd get one shirt per day of the year before she rage quit. Not sure I'll ever need to buy a shirt again. Or semi formal wear ever. They make nice stuff esp if youre not paying retail.
