5. GAP Birdseye Cardigan – $54.95 (but goes on sale a ton)
Birdseye doesn’t get nearly enough play. Great looking contrast placket and cuffs. If you wear it cleaned up with say, a wurkin stiffs equipped collared shirt, jeans, and some wingtips, you won’t look anything like the limp shouldered cardigan wearing hipster puffing away at his cigarette outside the nearest coffee shop. This one is labeled as a “skinny” cardigan, so, you might want to try it on in-store. Wait on a sale. 30% off would drop it to $38.
4. Ralph Lauren Deerfield Leather Card Case – $50.00
(reg. $125)
A lot of you have a zero tolerance policy on logos. And that’s understandable. But for those that can take a logo here and there, finding one that looks like it was stamped in the 1850s isn’t a half bad option. Made in Italy too. On sale via Bloomingdale’s (where they didn’t do it any favors with their image). Full price at Ralph Lauren.
3. Lands’ End Canvas Nailhead Oxford Blazer – $99.50
Part of the new Lands’ End Canvas fall lineup, and it might end up being their flagship for this season. Reasonably priced and a great looking color which should work easily with dark denim. Expect an in person relatively soon.
2. Tissot PRC 200
w/ J. Crew Strap – About $300 total new
All credit to reader Dan O. for this. He sent the Dappered Twitter account a pic of this watch setup not that long ago. Although $300 is no small amount, it looks terrific. The Tissot PRC200 has a design that’s well appreciated by many. Switching to the J. Crew strap was a small detail that makes a big change. (Note: We don’t normally do this, and don’t know him personally, but he apparently just put his used one up on ebay…)
1. Florsheim Gaffney Wingtip Boot – $96.00
SHIPPED w/ code LINK20 ($120)
Florsheim’s new run of their Gaffney Wingtip Boot now includes grey and blue suede options, plus the lighter chestnut color pictured above. The lug soles are a deal-breaker for many, but they’d be a huge upgrade to your knock-around-town boot collection. Full review here.
Gap birdseye is back to regular price online
“Most Affordable” article with nothing under $50?
Most wanted “affordable style” not “most affordable style”. In the world of style/clothes/fashion, 50 dollars is a pretty affordable price point.
Cheers,
Ben
“Most Wanted” There’s a 10 best bets for $75 or less every month as well.
Ah, whoops. Misread the title.
Drat. Thanks. (but in the end, with free shipping at $50, might be a wash? I’d still wait for at least 30% off. Great looking cardigan though. Really dig birdseye)
Boots in August? I guess buy ’em now and wear them when it cools down?
I always buy my coats in Summer actually. Affordable Patagonia.
I also want it to be fall with the burning hot intensity of a thousand suns.
I too much prefer the cooler temperatures and the ability to layer comfortably.

This Women’s north face jacket and ugg boots should be listed in your must-have-list-for-Christmas already. Treat yourself with this and it will keep you out from getting cold and North Face Outlet is absolutely worth every penny.
In for the boots. Could not resist to try a pair of those black boots.
For what it’s worth, I picked up the Nailhead Oxford blazer (on a sale, ~30), it fits me great, and is a nice, if tad interesting look. The only unfortunate thing are the ridiculously (to me) large and low armholes.
