Macy’s One Day Sale
Picks – September 9 – 10, 2011
As always, it’s incredibly tough to peg when Macy’s will launch a One Day Sale. Sometimes a month and a half will go by between them, sometimes only a few weeks will pass. One thing is certain: These are sales worth paying attention to. The one-day sale prices are some of the best mark downs in the retail industry. Here’s some of the best from the One-Day-Sale which runs Friday September 9 – Saturday September 10. Items marked with a * are “Web Busters.” In store prices may match up, and may not. Selection on all items (especially shoes) in store can vary greatly.
.
Club Room Slim Fit Button Front Shirt – $19.99
($34.50)
Your guess is as good as mine as to why it’s hard to find a slim fitting, do-anything, dress it up or down button up white shirt. Haven’t seen this one in store, but it looks like it has a ton of potential. Button down collar that doesn’t look tiny or massive, and CR by Clubroom slim fit stuff usually fits pretty decent.
Bar III Cotton/Wool Blazer – $129.99 ($350)
Macy’s newest house brand doesn’t seem to have made it to all of their brick and mortar locations. Reviews so far are good on Bar III items.
Steve Madden Ethin Wingtip – $88.99
($110.00)
Probably one of the best looking shoes Steve Madden has come out with in a long while. But remember, they are Steve Madden, so quality can be hit and very miss. True oxford closed lacing and has a chance to become a favorite casual upgrade. Reviews are good over at Zappos.
Ben Sherman East/West Messenger – $74.99 ($99.00)
You have to be the type that’s more than okay with always slinging your bag over your head, because this one doesn’t have any top grab handles. Nice contrast between the flap over buckles and the rest of the bag though.
Calvin Klein Charcoal Plaid Slim Fit Suit – $269.99 ($650.00)
Worth considering if you’re one of the fellas who spends all work week in a suit and tie. Not a bad price for a Calvin Klein Slim Fit, and get a load of the pattern. Feel free to work some color in there.
Hugo Boss Trunk 3-Pack – $29.25* ($39.00)
Date night underwear? Trunks, not boxer briefs. Three pack comes with a light blue, dark blue, and red waistband. About as crazy as you probably want to get with your underwear.
Timberland City Escape Moc – $98.99 ($110)
Just might be one of the best looking casual weekend stompers out there. Also available in a more traditional reddish brown with a white contrast sole, but the deep brown with the black sole and blue laces is the winner here. Plenty of sizes too. They’ll ding you with an $8.00 shipping charge since it’s one penny short of the free shipping threshold. Consider another small purchase to tip the balance.
Citizen Eco-Drive AT0810-12E Chronograph – $182.97 ($278.50)
At first I was intrigued with the reduced price of $208 through Macys. Then saw it for few bucks less on Amazon
This current Macy’s One Day Sale ends Saturday 9/10.
Just got those Steve Madden wingtips in black. It’s hard to find nice shoes in a size 7, so I grabbed them immediately. Now just need to find a brown shoe! Joe, any suggestions for those of us with tiny feet? It’s so difficult to find anything other than sneakers, a lot of times.
Those Timberland boots are sharp. A shame they’re only marked off ten bucks. The only brown leather boots I own right now look like this… maybe I need to look for something a little more, uh, formal.
… are these.
Any thoughts on any of the navy blazers there?

Any of the others worth the extra $50 or more?

I am a fan of the sebago brattle but can never find them in my size 12 these Steve maddens look really similar..how close are they as a casual dress up/down show? I need a shoe to wear with the black br 5 pocket that I got off your reccomendation. Brown shoes look funny with them but I don’t like all black/black soles cuz I feel like a ninja. The wood-ish sole on these looks like it may break it up well? And other suggestions?
I just purchased a Bulova for $99 in the store. its listed as $129 on the site…. http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=478452&PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results
Combo it with this, in store only.

How about this white-shirt question – why is it so hard to find a non-oxford white shirt that isn’t see-through? I don’t want to be forced to wear an undershirt or a jacket just so people don’t see my nipples.
I’m in the market for a new navy sportscoat as well. If you check them out in person, I’d be curious to know your thoughts.

I hear ya Mike, I have been looking for white shirts also that don’t look/feel like lingerie. I like the casual button down washed white shirts from J Crew. They are casual but can easily be dressed up with a tie and jacket.
That Club Room shirt definitely looks worth picking up.
I hadn’t heard of Bar III either, but that blazer is VERY nice
In store – I ended up purchasing an INC seersucker suit top & bottom for 48.00 $. Also picked up a pair of linen / cotton blend trousers for 9 dollars. Some damage could have really been done this weekend if i wasnt careful. I could have easily walked out of there with 4-10 different outfits.
If you’ve missed the one-day sale, and you live in the south, you’d do well to look for the Izod Varsity Oxford Slim Fit at Belk (and maybe Dillard’s) to replace the Club Room. I wear a medium, and it fits very well. It may need a bit of tailoring, but it’s a great casual or informal OCBD. I got mine for something like 24 bucks.
Got a Calvin Klein Slim fit gray suit for $110… $163 after lengthening the sleeves, hemming the pants, and letting the waist out an inch… Pretty good deal I’d say. $650 retail. Saleswoman told me they were having a mens event within the next two weeks, so I may go back and get some more. Also, does anyone have any experience with the club room slim fit shirts? I love the regular club room dress shirts (come out of the dryer with no wrinkles, extremely wearable without steaming), but they are just a bit too billowy…
