How to Spend it: The Lands’ End Canvas Living Social Deal

By | Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. Here's why.

Living Social:  $30 for $60 at Lands’ End Canvas

The details: Limit one per person w/one additional as a gift.  Available for purchase until the early AM hours on Thursday 8/11  Must be used by 10/5.  Only good online and only available on the Austin and Boston pages… for now?  L.E.C. Free Shipping no minimum with code UNTUCKED and Pin 1145 (expires 8/27)  No word on whether this can be used along with the Living Social Deal.  We’ll find out on Thursday…

Eureka.  Credit to Andre and Corey who sent in style tips about the Living Social deal that’s up in Boston and Austin today.  Prices are up over at L.E.C., but the spend $30 get $60 worth of credit deal helps out plenty.

You don’t have to live in Boston or Austin to buy it (just look in “other cities” when you log in to Living Social) and if you pick around in their sale section, you can put together an entire upgraded casual outfit for $60.  Which of course becomes a ridiculous $30 with the voucher.  The proof:
.

Heritage Straight Fit Jean – $14.99 ($49.50)
Rinsed Indigo has plenty of sizes left
Better for the guys that have bigger legs or don’t want as quite as tight of a fit.  Straight through the leg, great color, full review over here.  Their slim fit is also on sale for $14.99, but sizes are getting tight.

 

Heritage Solid Oxford in Gull Grey  – $19.99 (reg. $49.50)
Button down collar is a big plus.

L.E.C.’s oxford shirts have a prefect mid-weight to them.  A solid grey oxford cloth like this almost looks like a grey chambray.  It gives the same texture/color impression, and don’t be afraid to wear this under cotton blazers once the weather gets cooler.  (Note:  Click on the color and then your size to see the reduced price)

 

Slub Jersey Crewneck – $14.99 ($29.50)
Light in color and weight. Goes on top.

Halfway between sweatshirt and sweater, these slub jersey crews aren’t spongy and thick like your collegiate hoodie, but they’re all cotton and look more relaxed than a sweater.  Don’t be afraid to layer with something like this.  It’s a real easy way to dress up a dressed down look.  Our instincts tell us to layer the dark stuff on top with the light underneath, but reverse that here.  The grey oxford will look great under the off white crew and against the jeans.

 

Striped Socks – $6.99 ($14.50)
A little, but not a lot, of pop.

Because they’re cheap, you can, and with all this solid stuff going on above the ankle, you’ll need a little bit of interest and pattern going on somewhere.  Sizes are limited, but, they’re socks.  Should be able to make these work.

Total Full Retail Cost: $143.00
Total Cost Before Living Social Deal: $56.96
Total Cost After Living Social Deal:  $26.96 (or the $30 you spent on the gift certificate)

Throw on a field watch and some casual laceups, wingtip boots, or sneakers… and you’re set.

The Living Social Deal looks to be available to purchase until the early morning hours of tomorrow (Thursday 8/11) depending on what city you buy through.  The free shipping code UNTUCKED and pin 1145 exp. 8/27  Might not work if they make you put your living social voucher in the “promo code” and pin area.

Comments

  2. Joe, nice picks here but I’m pretty sure the fine print also says the deal can’t be combined with any other offers or discounts. So does this $60 for $30 count for the sale items you identified?

  4. That’s a standard Living Social restriction, not something from LEC. Normally it explicitly says “valid on full price merchandise only” if they want to keep you out of the sale section. The only real question is whether you’ll be able to use the free shipping code. My gut says yes but pad a couple extra bucks into your budget in case you have to pick up the tab for shipping.

  5. They may deduct promotional pricing on returns… as in you can’t buy things and return them for profit.

  6. Just a heads up, I purchased those straight fit jeans and they were crazy tight.  I have a couple of pairs of chinos and shorts from Canvas, so I felt pretty good about the sizing (36×34).  The jeans were just very tight through the leg and pretty short in length.  I ended up buying 501’s instead (36×36), and they worked out a whole lot better.

  7. I just bought one.  I can’t imagine the backlash if they moved sale prices to regular and sold all these deals.  You do have to spend it all at once though.  As, um… “Poop” mentions below, pretty sure it’s just to prevent that buy at 1/2 off return for full price scam.

  8. Agreed.  There’s a “Gift Card” code and pin field, as well as a “Promo Code” code and pin field.  I’ve purchased one and I’ll test it out tomorrow as soon as I can.

  10. I checked the tag multiple times.  Straight fit.  With less expensive jeans, sometimes the sizes vary, so who knows?  Reminded me of your Gap Jeggings picture.  My wife got a good laugh out of it though.

  11. That’s… really, really odd.  Because they were most definitely larger on me than 501s without a doubt.  Much closer to the now defunct authentic fits from GAP.  From a reader who goes by “jh”: “Got a pair last week, and the fit as described which works great for me.”

  12. We must be twins because I had the exact same problem. Same size too, 36/34. Looked skin tight on my thighs. The gf said two words when she saw me, Hell no! But I have 2 pairs of straight fit cords in the same size and they fit much looser.

  13. At least I’m not the only one.  I thought I was going to have to lose 20lbs and grow a sweet hipster mustache.  Guess we’ll just chuck it up to weird sizing and I’ll stick to the 501s.  Come to think of it, maybe a mustache is the way to go. . . 

  16. I’ve got the slim fits in size 38 in two different colors, white and the rinsed indigo, and the variation in the snugness of the two is definitely noticeable.  Haven’t tried the straight fits though… seeing as I’ve finally found a slim straight jean that withstand my T-rex legs.

  19. I went with the 31’s (one size smaller than my usual 32) and they were pretty tight everywhere, not just in the thigh (for reference my thigh’s about 22″ around measured about halfway down the hamstring). At first. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to keep them, but I wore them night and day for about 2-3 days and stretched them wet once, and now they’re the best fitting jeans I’ve ever owned.

  20. I’m gonna be holding onto mine (ha–made it with 10 minutes to go), so be sure to update us with any killer LEC sales, Joe!

  22. Just used the PARENTSA11 Pin 8355 code and got 10 bucks off! I also signed up for the living social deal so I got 10 dollars off the deal, essentially getting $70 of clothes for $20!

  23. Yeap… all the mentioned coupons above works! Free shipping, giftcard works, very nice! I got the chambray shirt, slimfit chambray jeans, the swim shorts, a tshirt! 😛

  24. This was a crazy deal!  After using the PARENTSA11 code and the Living Social deal, I ended up only spending an extra $4.95 for 7 items.  So essentially I spent $34.95 for $150 worth of apparel. 

    I hope this pops up again!

  25. Just wanted to add that the straight fit 32×30’s I received were also quite slim.  DEFINITELY slimmer than 501’s – probably closer to the Lucky Slim 221’s I have.

  26. using the livingsocial deal and a $10-off w free shipping coupon, i got a pair of $78 shoes i’d been lusting after for $38.  sweet!

  27. I was excited that I got one of those lightweight trench coats… until I read the comments and saw that I missed the extra $10 off… max discount FAIL

  30. Just a shout-out to Dappered.  This was a FANTASTIC post and deal.  I got 36% off between the Living Social coupon and the free shipping.  Thanks so much!
