40% off Kenneth Cole on Election Day with code: ELECT1
Credit to Daniel for the styletip via our Facebook page. A note: promo codes on KennethCole.com are case sensitive. So make sure you get that code in all caps.
Kenneth Cole has never shied away from speaking his mind, but when it comes to the day of large political events? He usually lets a large sale on his site take the spotlight. For example: When President Obama was inaugurated? Shoppers took 44% off for the entire day since he’s our nation’s 44th President.
It’s not quite as good of a deal today with “just” 40% off. It also looks like the discount is limited to only regular priced items. So if you thought you could get these on-sale Larger than Life boots for $54… that ain’t happenin’. But they will throw in free ground shipping for orders over $100. Here are some picks to start with:
.
Kenneth Cole Moleskin 3/4 length coat – $137.70 (reg. $229.50)
Take note. This is close to the perfect length for a coat. Not chopped at the waist, not past the knee length droopy. Could maybe be a touch shorter, but otherwise, just about right. Simple, cotton moleskin, and a great shape to put on over your suit. Or frankly, anything else.
.
Kenneth Cole Cross My Mind Boots – $129.00 (reg. $215)
Y’know how dressed up work boots are kind of a big thing this year? Right. These fit that bill to a T. Plus they come highly recommended by reader Manny, who left some comments about them right over here.
.
Kenneth Cole Slim 2-sided card case – $24.00 (reg. $40)
Hey look… something for those who don’t want to drop three digits on this sale. You need a card case. And you also want to stand out without shouting. The stripe in this slim card case does that. Subtle logo too. Nice details, under $25.
.
Kenneth Cole Regal King Lace up | Mind Tricks Wingtip – both $94.80* (reg. $158)
I wouldn’t call that wingtip suitable for suiting. But the shape is pretty dead on if you’re the type of guy who likes casual footwear that gets noticed. The Regal King is all modern, has a bit of a chisel toe, but it’s nowhere near square. Nice cap toe stitching as well.
*UPDATE: You can save a few bucks with a different code through Endless.com. That and you get free two day shipping. See the comments below.
The 40% off Kenneth Cole promo code ELECT1 expires at the end of today.
How did you know I’m looking at this sale right now?
I don’t like that they don’t tell you what’s on sale till you add it to your cart, but there are definitely some nice deals there. These boots are on sale and not applicable for the extra 40%, but what do you or your readers think of them? I can’t tell if the toe is too square or if it’s just the photo.
If your interested, Endless has them on sale for $118.40
. Using coupon code NOVFFEVT, it brings the price down to $88.80. Not sure how long the coupon is good for, but you get free two way shipping with Endless
@John: Nice catch. Updated…
@Joe – All great picks, Joe.
And I can’t say enough good things about the “Cross My Mind” boots. I picked them up for a song ($80 discounted and with a coupon code) in the summer and have been breaking them in the last month – TONS of compliments. Very nice quality leather, great color and finish, and comfortable. They are beautifully simple, are finished like dress boots but cut like combat boots. The 1″ heal really makes you feel tall and imposing too. I can definately recommend these boots at 129.00. FYI – other sites have a canvas/leather version which is just not the same…
@ Andrew B – I also would like to know about the fit and quality of the “First Place” boots. They seem to be on sale all the time and I have been tempted many times but am afraid that the toes might be too long and chiseled (KC seems to love that look).
And now I bought them in brown at that price!
The “Mind Trick” wings are sweet. Not too many sizes left. Anyone out there is Dappered.com land have these?
@ manny – hope you enjoy them as well as I do!
The boots and the wingtip shoes look well designed although I am hesitant to buy anything Kenneth Cole. Quality tends to be abysmal and the few KC shoes I have seen (my friend owns a few pair) tend to be made of swept of the floor corrected grain leather. Looks “plasticy” and tends to crease horribly.
I think shoes are one of those things where you really just have to cough up the money, usually to the tune of at least $300 for a good pair of Allen Edmonds or Alden dress shoes. If money is no object shell cordovan leather is to die for-no nasty creases!
@Skinny Vinny: I agree with you. The bass boots features a couple days ago I wrote were of that terrible leather that creases and looks plastic. Which is why I dropped the money on these boots.
Also I am in search of a dress shoe but have yet to find one that I like with a low heel, good leather that conforms to my feet, and is not bulky at all. I don’t like AE shoes, I want a pair thats sleek and small on the walls something that hugs my feet like a sneaker. Good example is Bensimmon canvas sneaker. Any suggestions? I am willing to pay up 600 for that shoe. 🙁
@Manny: Unfortunately I only own Alden’s and AE shoes at the moment. Yes, the lasts are a bit on the clunky side. If you want something sleek John Lobb and Edward Green seem to have some nice looking (and very pricey) offerings although I haven’t seen them in person. Not available in the impoverished Buffalo/Niagara region where I reside.
