New Customers take $50 off over $100
| Others take $25 off w/ code TELL25
So much for the retail dog days of summer. There’s more than a couple of incredibly solid sales going on right now. With all that temptation it’s good to remind yourself that nothing is affordable if you’re broke, or, if the purchase will get you headed in that direction.
This is rare. Sure Bonobos always has a sale section, but this is different. A little more to pick from, sizable markdowns, and as always ships quick & returns free. First time email signups get $50 off purchases of $100 or more
. Not going to work for you? The code TELL25 takes $25 off purchases over $100. Credit John B. for that tip.
UPDATE: The code DEMOCRACY will take $100 off a $300 order. Exp. 7/15 Credit Frank with the tip.

The Shorts: Bonobos Bandstands & Cloudster – Potentially $55 Total
Here’s how this works. Newbies, as previously mentioned, put an email address in over here. That’ll get you $50 off your first order of $100 or more. If you’re in the market for shorts, then these 7″ red plaid and 9″ chino shorts are good light options to balance out your dark polos. Put both in your shopping cart and the total comes to $105. Now use the code. Ta-da. Free pair of shorts.
The Wallet: Jack Spade Monza Billholder – Potentially as little as $54 ($125)
On sale, it’s $88. $12 under the threshold you need to hit to use the $50 off new customer email code. Curses, right? Nobody panic. Put a pair of $16 boxer briefs in your cart and that’ll push the total to a just over the line $104. Use the code and you now get both for $54. This is the billfold big brother to the smaller and slimmer Monza single fold. Really slick checked interior. Perforations inspired by sports car steering wheels.
The Chino Suit: Bonobos Chino/Linen Jacket and Pants – $300* ($498)
Interesting. The suit jacket is on sale, but the pants are not. Regular price is a steep $500, but the 55% cotton 45% Italian Fabric should be pretty close to perfect. *UPDATE: Use the code DEMOCRACY to take $100 off $300.
The Seersucker Suit: Bonobos Seersucker Jacket & Pants in Grey – $286* ($410)
This particular color of stripe got hosed by either the lighting or the off white shirt that was paired with it on the Bonobos site. It’s a grey stripe, not green. Looks much, much better in person. Full review here. More on the shoes here. *Reflects the $50 discount to those who supply a first time email.
The Trunks: Bonobos 9″ Longboards and 5″ Shortboards – $45.00 ($65.00)
Bonobos is the king of toned down swimwear that’s not completely boring. It’s tough to call anything that comes in the color “citrus” toned down, but unlike the wild plaids found on every warm beach in the Northern Hemisphere, these keep it simple with just a few colors. Nice detail on the 9″ longboards at the waist.
The Polos: Bonobs Helmsman Polo in Navy or White – $45.00 ($65)
All hail the contrast placket. Nothing crazy otherwise, and not spongy pique cotton either. Athletic fit, good frame for your neck and face, and a nice way to dress up your downtime wardrobe.
Grenson Stanley Wingtip – $200* ($335)
For the shoe hounds. Dove grey leather uppers, Goodyear welt. Bonobos suggests you size down since they tend to run a little large. Still expensive but has plenty of curb appeal. *Reflects the $50 discount to those who supply a first time email.
No word on when the Bonobos Summer Sale prices expire, or when the $25 off $100 code TELL25 goes dead. DEMOCRACY expired 7/15. Credit to Frank on that one.
So, where exactly does one put the TELL25 code?
I think this is now my favorite store.
“Thanks for your order! Our ninjas will get everything ready for you and your order should ship shortly. “
lower left of the shopping cart page, called “referral code”
What do you think about the black version of the shortboards?
Does the TELL25 code not work for anyone else now? I just tried it several minutes ago and can’t get it to work. Thanks
Can’t seem to get it going either.
Working again
Like Phil, I was having difficulties with it. Those have ceased.
If it doesn’t work at checkout just email the ninjas… they’ll apply it for you.
Chino Lino suit pants sold out in size 30 and below already at full price???? Do they restock?
I picked up some 6-inch inseam, “citrus” orange swim trunks from Land’s End for $13 on sale a while back. Not quite as fashion-forward as the Bonobos but a good deal if anyone’s looking for some cheap, simple trunks. The fit isn’t quite as modern as I’d like but it’s not old-man-ish either. Definitely size down if you’re accustomed to slimmer fits. I’m a 30 or 31 waist with a lot of junk in my trunk and the small fits fine.

If anyone was looking on splurging on a suit… the code Democracy gets you 100 bucks off a purchas of 300 or more…
Incredible find. Updated. Thanks Frank!
Anybody else having problems with Democracy? The coupon code, I mean, not the political theory.
They say to size down…DO they mean a full size or a half?
Only was good yesterday til midnight. Bonobos typically run a happy hour special every
friday and announce it on their facebook page…
Updated. Thanks for the tip…
