Levi’s & Dockers Friends and Family Sale: 30% off with code FRIENDS
Free shipping kicks in at $100. Code expires today, Monday 5/23
UPDATE: Levi’s/Dockers is now doing free shipping, no minimum. Nice catch by the fellas in the comments.
Anyone seen the price of a pair of Levi’s recently? They’ve jumped by about $10. 501s are pushing $60 for the good dark colors in a lot of department stores. That’s a big leap. Reports have been saying cotton prices are going up for awhile now, and the proof can be seen in the shot to the groin GAP shares took on Friday. Down 17%.
If you’re in the market for some denim of chinos, now might be the time to invest. Levi’s and Dockers (same company) are running a site wide 30% off Friends and Family sale. Free shipping kicks in at $100 too, so here’s two strategies (one for Dockers, one for Levi’s. Can’t cross pollinate like GAP) on how to spend a Ben Franklin:
.
Levis: The Jeans – 501 Original Clean Rigid – $30.80 (reg. $58.00)
Wait, just one pair of jeans? Exactly. The one pair of jeans you need. Dark blue, no distressing, 501 fit. (Yeah, I’m a 501 honk.) If you’re a slim straight, bootcut, or even skinny fit, go with your standard.
.
Levis: The Other Stuff – Braided Belt – $27.65 | Capsize Crew – $27.23 | Tee – $17.43
Braided belts are for whatever reason “back”… but this one looks nothing like a belt you could have swiped from your old man’s closet half a decade ago. Roller buckle, thicker braids, not a bad way to mix it up. The Capsize Crew is perfect nautical style in a weekend crew-neck. The Tee? Even non v-neck guys might give that one a shot. Slim fit too.
Total: $103.11 Ships free by three bucks.
Dockers: The Pants – Slim Soft D1 – $21.00 ($52.00) | SF Tapered in Red – $34.99 ($98.00)
The Slim Soft D1 (no crease on these, slight washed feeling) are by far the best of the common Dockers lines out there. Dockers might be messing with their fits, but these are the most modern aside from the SF Tapered. Which… might not be for everyone… but if you’re going to go with the tapered, why not go full Italian with the Red color? Both are already on sale. The extra 30% off still applies.
.
Dockers: The Other Stuff – Man t-shirt – $6.99 | Mini-Plaid Tie – $20.99 | O-ring belt – $20.99
The Man t-shirt seems to be the cheapest thing on the site. Tees with logos/sayings on them are way over-played, but this one is pretty simple and to the point. The tie is only 1.5 in width, so know that, and the O-ring belt comes in a blue and red as well. The Green color could be a minimalists one splash of brightness for the summer. All come from the sale section.
Total: $104.97 Ships free by just under $5.00
WARNING: Know that while beating the free shipping game might be kinda fun… if you’re not in the market for anything extra, it’s not at all worth it. Shipping is a VERY reasonable $7.50, putting that pair of 501s at under $40 out the door shipped. The Friends and Family code FRIENDS expires Monday 5/23
Just checked the Levi’s site and free shipping is now included on all orders, making this deal even sweeter.
Dockers FRIENDS code now includes free shipping on all orders. No need to “beat the free shipping game”
Too bad, cause I just ordered a pair friday and paid 7:50. I might re-order and return the first pair. haha…
Sweet deal. I’ve been looking to upgrade/replace my worn-out, Target-purchased “Authentics Signature” jeans, which I guess are the economy version of normal Levi’s. The already on-sale 514s, plus FRIENDS code, are now the same price as the full-retail Authentics. The only thing I dislike about my cheapo ones is that the material is fading, pilling, and otherwise wearing out after only a year or so of use, so I hope the real ones are a bit more durable.
Great find all. I just received my previous Dockers D1 order & the fit is great. Decided this deal was too good to pass up, so I ordered another three pair…
On a side note, I’m about to send back the 514s I ordered as they seem to ride straight into my crack whenever I try them on. Is this a common thing with Levi jeans?
Grr, Levi’s won’t ship to Canada. Quelle annoying. Even through Nordstrom, Levi’s items can’t be shipped north of the border. Yeesh. Did I mention that 36L sizes don’t exist in Canada?
i went with the 511 rigid dragon…i already have a pair of them and even cheaper than the outlet…really love the fir and color
Thanks for posting. I’m going in for the big experiment – 501 shrink-to-fit. I saw conflicting information in the reviews, but most seemed to say to order actual waist size (which doesn’t shrink as much, or can stretch back) and order up on the length, which will shrink. I like the idea of breaking in the raw denim through use.
Any suggestions for jeans that are:
1. In the price range of Levi’s
2. Have a similar or just slightly slimmer fit than 501’s (NOT as slim as 514’s – I think they fit too slim)
3. Don’t have an obnoxious tab on the back like Levi’s?
By “tab” I mean the giant label with the sizing on it.
Also, use fatwallet.com / fatcash to get 6% back, around $2. I forgot, but if anyone else is ordering it’s a nice little bonus.
