> Above the Fray —

A male reader emails to recommend the Seize sur Vingt sale, on now through the end of July in Nolita. He writes: "The GROUPE Seize sur Vingt sale, in that big room on Elizabeth with the Lotus in front, is pretty small but well-edited, and best for men's dress/sport shirts, with some sophisticated patterns at 60 to 80 bucks (mostly SsV's label and Troglodyte Homunculus.) They have a listing for $1 white t-shirts, but I didn't see any and wasn't about to embarrass myself by asking about them. Women's selection looked tiny. The biggest wall of the store is occupied by a long rack with signs about how these clothes are not participating in the sample sale. Party poopers." [Racked Inbox]
