Fabiani sale, checked

How Fabiani sales really work

Fabiani is TFG's more premium menswear label, leaning into tailoring, smart-casual and well-made basics. Starting prices are higher, so a genuine markdown here is worth more in rand terms than at the value chains, but the same caution applies to the was-price.

The honest deals tend to be on seasonal tailoring and outerwear being cleared, where the recorded low sits well under the usual price. We surface those and flag any item whose advertised was-price is higher than anything we have actually seen it sell for.

• Because base prices are higher, focus on the rand saving versus the usual price, not just the percentage.
• Tailoring and outerwear carry the biggest genuine reductions at clearance.
• An inflated was-price is more tempting on a pricier item, so check the recorded high before trusting a big percentage.
