5. Ralph Lauren Custom Fit Rugby – $41.99 (reg. $89.50)

Much better than a long sleeved tee.

Weekend wear that’s hugely updated.  Very trim through the sides and sleeves.  Reinforced shoulders and yoke. What a rugby should look and feel like.  Solid versions also available.   Extra 30% off shows up once it’s in your cart.
UPDATE: They jacked the price back up on the stripes.  But the solids, limited sizes of course, are now $35.

4. Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears “Scandalous” – $12.48 | Available 3/15

Gets released on March 15th

Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears aren’t new to this website, and their next album is about to come out.  This will be something.  If you haven’t heard their first album, you can preview all those songs on Amazon.  But give “Get yo shit” a listen on their myspace page first.  Here’s a small taste of the new stuff.

3. Emporio Armani Black Chronograph – $206.90 (reg. $345)

On sale for a more than fair $200

One mean looking watch for right around $200.  And unlike a lot of other EA watches, which can be purposely over sized, this one measures in at a perfect 41 mm.
.

2. Filson Cover Cloth Bomber – $140 ($210) | Weekender Coat – $234 ($260)

Both made in the USA.

Not exactly black tie ready, but with warmer weather on the way everyone will be getting out their favorite cotton utility jackets.  These are a different spin.  Water/wind repellent, and the shorter bomber is on sale for a nice price.
.

1. Banana Republic Cotton Linen Blazer – $198.00 (but goes on sale a lot)

Incredible off the rack.

The fit is perfect, the fabric has a unique texture to it, and it’s structured just enough to give it a dressed up feel.  Yes you could wear it with jeans.  A bit heavier than you’d expect.  Get the full review over here.
