Clothing

Check out on this page our favorites for clothing for the whole family in Los Angeles County. Please also see our new page "Clothing, Fashion / Orange County" for deals in the OC. Everything at these stores and boutiqes and discounters is first quality unless we note there are seconds or flaws. Always check with the stores for their return policies. Some discounters do not allow returns, and exchanges only. Some discounters are selling seconds or clothing with minor flaws, so check your merchandise carefully. If the clothing is sold as "first quality" you should not find any flaws. Many discounters sell clothing that is one or two seasons "old." But today, with the slow economy, many discounters are selling current merchandise that the factories could not sell to department stores or high end retailers so these top label clothes find their way to discounters more quickly.

Also check our pages "Clothing / Children, Kids" and "Designer Resale Fashion" and "Clothing / Men and Suits" and "Shoes and Boots and Hosiery" to see more of our best deals on TV.

DEPARTMENT STORE CLOTHING AT JUST 99-CENTS PER GARMENT

Update January 4, 2012 I didn't know what to expect when I was told that there was a store in Huntington Park selling clothing at 99-cents per garment. What could they be selling at that price-- rags? No-- they sell name brand clothing and not just old tee shirts. There are sweaters and jackets and hoodies and shirts and sun dresses and name brand jeans and clothing for women and junior sizes, and kids clothing and clothing for guys too -- and everything is 99-cents per garment.

Is this possible? Yes, when the store is a liquidator of department store returns, factory overproduction, clothing from previous seasons, merchandise from other retailers who need to closeout and move-out previous season's merchandise, and other liquidations.

The company is called 3-B and everything is 99-cents per garment. Yes, they do carry closeouts on perfume and some other items that are slightly higher priced -- but the clothing is always 99-cents per garment. Nothing is worn or used, but you might find garments that were marred or marked while being handled so do examine the clothing carefully. This store is open 365 days a year except for this year -- 2012 -- when it will be open 366 days because it's a Leap Year. Yes, they're open on holidays. Our TV show report is below. There is metered parking on the street. Sorry, no phone number -- they told me that they're too busy helping customers to take phone calls.

BUYER'S BRAND OUTLET ON PICO IN LOS ANGELES

Every once in a while we stumble on a small outlet with legitimate deals. Buyer's Brand Outlet is at 8646 West Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles, between La Cienega and Robertson, and it has a small parking lot. Call them at (310) 652-6363.

If you enjoy shopping, you will enjoy Buyer's Brand Outlet for its low overhead, bargain shopping environment. There are men's designer suits by Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren and Hugo Boss with department store labels sewn into the garments and these are now priced at only $69.95. Designer sport jackets are less, or course. There are also name brand shirts and ties.

Women will find designer clothes by BCBG, Lis Claiborne, INC priced as low at $10.95 each piece. You will also find fashions by Liz Claiborne, Michael Kors, Alfani, Kasper, Guess, DKNY and Rampage.

Now some important shopping tips. First, there is a small parking lot so avoid the usual rush to this outlet that happens around 5pm. Shop earlier in the day when the parking lot has plenty of spaces. Second, the outlet is open Sunday through Thursday; they close early on Friday, and the outlet is closed on Saturday.

You will find racks of merchandise direct from department stores as well as shipping boxes with designer fashions from department stores. Yes, suits and jackets are arranged by sizes -- but be prepared to spend some time hunting for your deals.

One more tip: they have a "store card" that offers an additional 5% discount at checkout. Ask for the "card" and if they don't have it-- ask for the extra 5% off. Tell them that I told you to ask for the extra discount.
