This is rare. Lion in a sidecar rare? Not that rare, but still rare.
The last time a full blown Giltman Sale was featured at this here blip on the internet, Santa was just pulling the tarp off the sleigh. It’s been awhile. And for good reason.
But Bonobos makes some great fitting pants. At the same time they’re pricey for a lot of us. $90 for a pair of cotton pants is quite an investment, and you’re really going to have to love their fit to pick up a pair at full price.
Sure there are ways to knock $50 off orders of $100 if you’re a “first time” customer. But maybe Gilt will (actually) come through on this one today.
When those in the know were asked if they could disclose the level of discount, they understandably said they couldn’t give a percentage, but they did say…
“It’s a deep discount. I think your guys will be happy. There’s a range of options… lots to choose from.”
Expect more than just pants. Shirts, shorts, swim suits, jackets, etc. Sale launches at Noon ET sharp. Like most Giltman sales with good stuff, the stock on this one should go pretty quick.
UPDATE: That was a huge “mneh.” Starting to feel a little like Charlie Brown and Gilt is Lucy holding a football. The discount was nice (around $45 for the pants) but the selection was paltry. Only about three designs with any real sizes. So… back to ignoring Gilt for awhile.

Do Bonobos generally fit true-to-size? I measure 32″, and I wear 32s in pants from Lands’ End and Levi’s but 31s in most pants from Gap, Inc.
My Bonobos fit true to size
What hope do big dudes have of fitting in these pants? I mean, I’m currently wearing levi’s 514’s, but sized up a waist size and they fit great. Are the thighs too slim on the bonobos even if I jump up a size?
Bonobos have more of a straight leg/bootcut fit(depending on the style you get), 514’s are like skinny jeans on my thighs in my waste size and the next size up. I find that bonobos fit way less snug but aren’t loose.
I wear Levis 501s in 32/30. Bonobos same size fits well.
Straight Leg fit at Bonobos (not boot cut)
Couldn’t agree with you more. 514s are just too tight on my upper legs. Bonobos really kinda fit like a 501.
Im so in there, they also have a PF flyer sale for those who like the simple converse like (yet more comfortable) tennis shoe
@Joe…do you happen to know if Giltman ships north of the 49th parallel? I know many US retailers don’t ship stuff to Canada mostly due to the exorbitant duties and surcharges. However, if the item is made in North America (that includes Mexico), then there are no duties and surcharges. Are Bonobos’ pants made in the USA?
Now, is this conducted directly on Gilt’s site, or can I use my Bonobos gift certificates for this sale?
i waited for this? weak, bonobos. weak.
Nah, just Canada from what I understand. And the pants aren’t made in the US. Used to be though. Oxfords still are.
Direct by Gilt.
Weak selection, IMO. Many items never even had multiple sizes in stock to begin with.
Definitely not worth it. Very limited selection on sizes, and not a great variety.
that sale has horrid
Well hell Gilt. Seems like there were only three pants (Grey Dogs, Stone Cutters, Brushed Blue/Navy) that actually had any real sizes to speak of. ‘kay. Back on the shelf Gilt goes for the foreseeable future.
I’m sorry everyone had such bad luck. I got the olive cotton dress pants I have been after in a 34, which is a pretty common size.
Weak selection. Thats okay, I just picked up two pairs of pants last week from the site, along with a nice spring jacket mentioned here!
It pays to know an investor in the company
There wasn’t a ton there, but I have been wanting a pair of the grey pants from Bonobos for a while and they had my size. Thanks for the tip.
