I don't shop at those stores, so without knowing if they had any inventory, I would be spending far too much time going to the store(s) and sorting through the merchandise. Perhaps worth my while if I manage to find what I want, but much too frustrating if I keep going away empty-handed. I'd prefer identifying a need for a couple of pieces, searching one of the periodic sales at the online outlet store, and ordering exactly what I want.

One other option: Attend one of their massive, twice-yearly outlet sales outside Pittsburgh, PA. I've never been, but here's what that looks like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dezXg6wRYU
