I stopped by the Lansky Bros. clothing store inside the Peabody Hotel yesterday. They had a large number of summer sport shirts – you know, those rock star shirts by Robert Graham and other top designers – for 40% off. They’ve got 40% off some of their other summer merch, including swimwear, on sale right now too.
Fun fact I learned this week: Lansky originally sold army surplus clothing when the original store opened in 1946. It wasn’t until about 1950 when Bernard Lansky noticed the flashy clothing musicians wore and began carrying those styles in his store.
