Endless Friends and Family Sale – 25% off Everything over $100
Use code MARFFEVT at checkout (expires 3/18)
Unlike their parent company Amazon.com, Endless runs site wide sales with some regularity. This time it’s their Friends and Family sale. You’d think a Friends and Family sale would be limited to employees, their family, and a select group of their friends. Nope. Everyone is either a friend, or family. Oh the tranquility.
Anything over $100 is 25% off, just for you, brother/sister/Mom/Dad/cousin/grandpa/chum/pal of Endless. Sure you could use the MARFFEVT code to save a chunk off of some super expensive pair of dress shoes. But here’s a few shoe, watch, and sunglasses picks that stick a little closer to the $100 threshold.
.
Bronx Ridley Laceup – $75.05
(reg. $194.95)
This one is a bit of a mystery. Seems like a plain lace up at first glace but if you take a look at the overhead view, that toe point is pretty… pointy. They’re also made in Portugal. Not China, not India. Portugal. Combination leather/rubber sole. With free shipping and free returns might be worth a flier. On sale price is just barely over $100 for the extra nice discount.
.
Cole Haan Air Adams – $148.50
(reg. $198)
Want a brown pair of shoes for your grey or navy suits but don’t want to shell out for a pair of Allen Edmonds? These aren’t a bad replacement. Pretty simple shape, Nike Air in the heel (go ahead and try to dunk in these), and some nice stitching to break up the leather.
.
Timberland New Earthkeepers Side Zip – $120.00
(reg. $160)
I don’t know about these. Looks like Timberland is going even greener with their earthkeepers line, and they’re working more environmentally friendly canvas panels into their side zip boot. Like I said… not so sure about that. Especially when the previous version looked so good.
.
J. Shoes Mojave Desert Boot – $101.25
(reg. $135)
The last time the Mojave came up it seemed like they were going for peanuts, as the now defunct Martin & Osa were liquidating their stock. Not a bad option for guys who are suede apprehensive.
.
Sebago Salem Oxford – $93.75
(reg. $125.00)
If you’re not into wearing boots on the weekends, or you work in a casual office, the Sebago Salem combines a standard casual laceup with a padded tongue/collar and grippy sole. They are made by Sebago after-all.
.
Orient Mako Automatic – $106.88
(reg. $190.00)
The incredibly well respected Automatic Orient Mako. Now for an incredibly low price. (Plus you get the always nice free 2-day shipping with Endless)
.
Golana Swiss AQ100 Leather Strap – $104.25
(reg. $300)
The $300 retail price tage is a bit much for a watch this simple, but it’s on sale and with the extra 25% off it’s certainly a deal. The leather band/silver cased version of this. Which on a side-note, is still running and looking just fine for me. Multiple accent colors available.
.
Citizen Military Chronograph – $101.25
($225) | Black Band/Green Dial – $92.81
($175)
UPDATE: Looks like this sale isn’t as good as originally thought. There are a TON of excluded brands which the code, even if you try, won’t apply. Citizen is one of them. Thanks to Aaron in the comments for pointing that out.
The Chronograph usually hovers around $135. The Black Band and Green Dial has flight inspired hands. Both come with the “no you’ll never need a watch battery” Citizen Eco-Drive.
.
Ray Ban RB2132 New Wayfarer – $89.25
(reg. $119.00)
UPDATE: See above update^ Ray-Ban is another excluded brand. Crud. Woulda been a steal.
The black New Wayfarers were inexplicably on sale via Endless for awhile. Now the Tortoise shell frames (which you can really wear with almost anything) go on sale too. Go with the darker regular Tortoise, and not the yellow.
.
Hugo Boss 0201 – $80.43
(reg. $195)
An academic slimmed down version of the Ray Ban Retro Wayfarer. Ultra cheap too thanks to the 25% off an already on sale price.
The Endless.com Friends and Family Sale ends 3/18. Use the code MARFFEVT for the extra 25% off anything over $100 at checkout.
Ray-Bans are excluded from the sale I’m sorry to say. Ended up getting a pair of Sebago’s anyway!
yeah, hot rhyme.
I own the Sebago Salem, and I love them!
Hot rhyme indeed :). Good catch. I hadn’t seen that list of excluded brands. And I have to say, that’s by far the most exclusions I’ve seen in an Endless sale. Stinks. But yeah, updated, credit given, thanks Aaron.
Ha! And to think all I was going for were the Citizen and the Ray-Bans. Bummer.
I own the desert boot and the Orient and they’ve both worked out beautifully. And those Hugo Boss glasses are pretty slick.
I bought the Orient a few weeks ago on Amazon (where it’s a few dollars cheaper anyway … in fact it’s about this price on Orient’s web site also with one of their coupons). Very happy with it. A quality item for peanuts.
I really liked the previous design of the Earthkeepers, but I like this new design as well. Unfortunately the combo I really wanted (green/brown) was not in stock for my size.
Great find.
In terms of the Earthkeepers, if the sample picture is a fair representation of how they’ll wear after use, then those are indeed some sexy boots, canvas or not. The green canvas is the better looking of the 3, though, and the sizes are already very limited.
Does anyone know if the Earthkeeper series are goodyear welted, or refurbishable by any means?
After several weeks of research, I picked up the Orient Black Mako for myself. I wanted a nice, sub-$300 diver watch to anchor the rest of my collection. Since my purchase, this watch has been turning up all over the place, including here. I just wanted to drop a quick note saying that I agree with your nod to the Orient timepiece, especially now that it helps pump money into the Japanese economy.
