Well, now I know why everything is so expensive at Casual Male! They give free clothes to NBA players and we have to pay for it! Can you BELIEVE this:
In a lawsuit filed Wednesday, a Chicago clothing store — Casual Male — alleges New York Knicks center Eddy Curry ran up a tab of more than $41,000 on clothes, and two years later it remains unpaid. Gulp.
Kara Spak of the Chicago Sun Times reports:
”It’s just a matter of him buying clothing he didn’t pay for,” said Edward Margolis, the attorney representing Casual Male and Jared M. Custom Clothing, a business popular with professional athletes that once was owned by Casual Male. […]
Purchases on Curry’s shopping trips, which occurred between January and April 2006, included $22,000 in suits, eight sweaters ranging from a $750 wool crew-neck to a $1,390 cashmere V-neck and more than $3,700 in ties.
The company also wants an additional $5,424 in interest.
And yes, before you ask, Casual Male is the largest specialty retailer of big and tall men’s apparel, with over 520 store locations throughout the United States, London, England and Canada.
Big and tall. Eddy Curry. Go nuts.
I wonder what $41,000 in clothes looks like? How much closet space do you need for that much clothes? I wonder how much of it was Made in the USA?
