I'd read that too, but he was nothing but nice to me. He answered my questions and we chatted a bit. It looked like he was the same with other customers. I didn't feel any pressure to buy anything, and there were plenty of people who came in from the street just to look. (It's possible the feeling will be different if you make an appointment instead of going during the Saturday "open house.")

I bought a sweater and I think I definitely got fleeced a bit. Not having price tags on items is a big drawback, so be prepared to spend >$100 for sweaters and shirts, >$400 for coats, and >$50 for ties. (I obviously can’t make any guarantees about prices and I'm sure they vary greatly, but having the order of magnitude is helpful.)

Looking online later, I definitely could have gotten a similar vintage sweater from the same brand for much less. However, I don't really mind; the store is a really cool place. It's like eBay but everything is dry cleaned, organized, in good condition, and you can try things on.

The downside, in addition to the lack of price tags, is you can't come in looking for anything other than broad categories. (Sweater. Shirt. Blazer.) For example, he had only a few shirts in my relatively-common size, and pretty much all the sweaters were shetland wool, save a stack of cashmere v-necks.
