Well, it’s official, the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks are set to match off in the 48th annual Super Bowl playoff. Whether these words means anything to you, or if you happen to be a Bruno Mars (who?) or Red Hot Chili Peppers fan (and who isn’t) is basically moot, because more exciting than the event is the sportswear-craze leading up to it. And this year, it isn’t enough that New Yorkers get the game, because at the top of the list of pre-SB hype is also Freemans Sporting Club’s annual Super Bowl Sale, starting today, January 23, and ending on Sunday, January 26. For the first and, as we’re told, last time ever (?!), the NYC-based menswear store is offering 50-75% off on hand-stitched suiting, as well as a selection of outwear, knits, and, of course, sportswear. Key sale items include a Blackwatch overcoat down from $995 to $398, a Shetland shooting jacket at $225, previously $899, and Rustler overcoat at $199, originally $569. For more surprises you’ll have to visit the shop (at 8 Rivington Street, NY, NY) for yourself.

The Super Bowl Sale at Freemans Sporting Club takes place from January 23 until January 26.

Todd Snyder Sample Sale CFDA Nominees menswear

7 Strategies for the First Ever Todd Snyder Sample Sale (This Weekend)

Todd Snyder Sample Sale CFDA Nominees menswear

With all the buzz around  CFDA Swarovski Crystal Menswear Award Nominee Todd Snyder, we’re guessing that his first ever sample sale, taking place this weekend, might be a little grabby. Civilized, of course, but also…competitive. Some strategy on how to make the most of the sale—or really any men’s sample sale, along with details of this one, after the jump.

1—Bring a beautiful girl who loves to flirt. She’ll hopefully distract some of the other guys your size. And bonus if you trust her sense of style—she can give you some advice on how the fairer sex may feel about the looks you’re culling together and also, double your grab time by snagging things your size off the rack before the other guys.

2—Drink your coffee before you get there. Yes, you want to be caffeinated, and thus quick, but also, you lose valuable hand space, not to mention increase your risk of embarrassing spills.

3—Go offline. No pain, no gain and for every second you’re texting, instagraming, facebooking, emailing, working, bla bla bla, some other dude your size is closer to that shirt you had your eye on.

4—Check out what might be at the sale before hand. Todd Snyer’s website is here. Looking at what you think might work first, trains your eye to find it when you first arrive.

5—Dress appropriately. Not the day to wear your skinniest jeans or sweater that’s annoying to get out of. Think date night. Also, wear clothing—shoes, socks, pants, shirts, jackets, ect, that you might actually wear with the designer you’re shopping. Your imagination isn’t always right and returns are rarely possible.

6—Come prepared. Cash, Credit and ample time will help you make the best decisions.

7—Wear clean underwear/socks. Duh.
