Macy’s Fall Spectacular Sale – 2010
It’s actually called the Macy’s “Fall Spectacular” Sale, but… try not doing jazz hands while saying that. Yes it’s the third sizable sale in three weeks. Yes this feels like Macy’s is never in a non-sale period. Yes these are… really some of the lowest prices of the season. There’s a few good picks. Here they are, let’s go…
.
Alfani RED Grey Sharkskin Slim Fit Jacket – $139.99 (reg. $325) | Pant – $59.99 (reg. $125)
It used to be that a charcoal suit was the must have suit every guy should own. Then it moved to navy. The winds of change are blowing again and now it’s a medium to even lighter gray two button. One of the best and most affordable, just got downright cheap at around $200. Have a Macy’s card? Use a 20% off monthly coupon and you’re looking at a measly $160 for this thing. Featured in the Macy’s Gentelman’s Guide to Style.

Steve Madden Must Plain Toe Boot – $59.99 (reg. $70)
No Steve Madden isn’t exactly known for making quality long lasting footwear. But in defense of that brand, I’ve had a pair of Madden moto boots going on four years now, and I’ve beat them to death. They’ve held up decent enough. These boots are as plain as can be. Which is the way a lot of us like them. Are they leather? Um… no.
.
Hilfiger Doug Dot Slim Tie – $24.75 (reg. $50) | Alfani Red Knit Tie – $17.99 (reg. $45)
Both ties you’ve seen here before. But? Prices are pretty good this time around. The dots for your suits, the knit for your jeans.
.
DKNY Charcoal Glen Plaid Slim Fit Blazer – $129.99 (reg. $325)
The lapels look nice and slim, the arm holes look (but looks can be deciving) reasonably high… combine that with a nice charcoal glenn plaid and you could have a stand out more business ready winter blazer. What’s it made out of? Doesn’t say. That’s a concern.
.
Alfani RED Slim Brown Suit Jacket – $139.99 (reg. $325) | Pant – $84.99 (reg. $125)
Remember when I promised these would go on sale? They’re on sale. Who’s still interested?
.
Ben Sherman Canvas Computer Bag – $59.99 (reg. $119.00)
So the last time around a Ben Sherman bag didn’t seem like it was the best quality. But this one is a little more compact, and I own a Ben Sherman messenger myself (and it’s durable enough for me). With with the top handles, slim sides, and dark canvas it hits all the right points of a computer bag. Plus it’s $60. (But mark my words, if this one stinks too? Mr. Sherman is getting a luggage time out)
The sale price on many of these items ends today. So, know that. But also know at this rate Macy’s will have another big sale in… what… 36 hours?
I’m a college senior and trying to make my wardrobe a little… more effective. I just pulled the trigger on the glenn plaid blazer, the sharkskin suit, and the knit tie. There goes my social money for the month (or the next three…).
With the 5bills shipping deal it only costs 5 bucks to ship, and I can afford to take the risk and make returns. But damn, you don’t get this kinda deal very often. Thanks for the heads up.
Also, the black version of the DKNY blazer is on the same sale, and it is listed as being wool. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
I have that light grey Alfani Red suit. It’s great. All the Alfani Red suits fit me perfectly. Well worth $200. They’re not as great as…say, the Jcrew Ludlow, but they definitely draw attention.
I bought that exact Ben Sherman bag a couple weeks ago for $50. So far it’s been a solid and comfortable bag for lugging around a laptop and a couple books. No complaints on the quality at all.
It’s also the only decent-looking, attractively style bag I could find in that price range. I’d say go for it if you’re in the market for one.
