Your right, I need a more representative comparables. I'll do a similar comp over the weekend. :)

YouTube has a pre IPO day/roadshow video that does a walk through with a fair amount of sales pitch. (http://m.youtube.com/user/gordmansstores?feature=watch&desktop_uri=%2Fuser%2Fgordmansstores%3Ffeature%3Dwatch) think thats the closest i can get to having a feel for the store. There are also some gordmans haul videos where people go over the haul of the day, pretty standard trendy products. I like how they are on top of the products.

Facebook has a gordmans page and its interesting to see that the emphasis on keeping customers happy.

I am still reviewing the IPO to check on exactly what they said they were doing with the money raised and store growth as promised. There is a discrepancy wrt how store growth is fueled(developer vs others), need to confirm. Sun capital still holds about half of the shares outstanding, they sold a third of holdings in '12 through a secondary right around the time time insiders sold.
