Thanks John Rambo but it will be very difficult then to know the real thing in these outlets.
What's BT's by the way - boutiques ?
Sorry, BT's is Brown Thomas. As for the outlets the stuff is all 'real' in my experience, it's just certain things like plain Ralph Lauren shirts, branded socks, branded boxer shorts, those kind of things which are being manufactured for the outlets (it's not excess stock or last years stuff). We tend to go to Macy's, Saks, Bloomingdales and the stores on 5th Avenue (Abercrombie, Gucci, etc) for current stuff and then hit Woodbury Common for good value. To give you just one example, a plain Hugo Boss polo sells for €85 in Dublin. They're $60 in Woodbury Common...that's €40. A Gucci handbag might be €1000 here. On 5th Avenue it'll be $1000 (€666). I've quite big feet so can only wear certain types of shoe purely down to availability...in the US there's no such issue with sizes at all. Clothing's the same. One further example...I buy a particular type of Timberland shoe regularly in Dublin for €135. In Woodbury Common I got them for $50 (€33).
