Deal of the Week – Magnanni Double Monks – $170.51 ($425)
It was a banner week for sales and specifically those that featured shoes. Allen Edmonds started it off with the launch of their annual site wide sale, Endless followed up with a nice 20% off Friends and Family sale, and the Neiman Marcus outlet LastCall.com blew the dust out of some wallets with an extra 41% off their already marked down prices. Sadly, all but the Allen Edmonds sale is over, and those Spanish made double monks you see above are long gone.

Here’s some solid proof that a well tailored sportcoat or blazer just might be the easiest and best way to look better than you otherwise would: This feature was by far the most read of the week. #1 with a bullet. And there wasn’t even a $500 gift card incentive to click through to it.

Most Discussed Post – Win it: The $500 Lands’ End Canvas Outfit
Over 1800 comments has to be some kind of record. But you’ll get lots of comments when leaving one is the point of entry for a $500 gift card from Lands’ End Canvas. Seems like the picks for the favorite piece were spread pretty evenly across the outfit, but the boots and bag made an extra strong showing. Look for an announcement on who won later on today. And no, sadly the car seen behind the bag can’t be purchased for $500 through L.E.C.
UPDATE: Congrats to Mike C. who won the random drawing for the $500 Lands’ End Canvas Gift Card. Thanks to everyone who entered, and a huge thanks to L.E.C. Got another contest for you come Monday. Sit tight.
first look makes me want to say merc wheels
For great sales like the Neiman Marcus where sizes are limited, you can go to Nordstroms and they’ll match the price. The monkstraps were already gone, but I was able to get some beautiful Magnanni tobacco wingtips for under $140.
Hey Guys, college student in need of some help here. I bought the LEC jeans that were featured in a post last week. I purchased a 34/32 They fit my waist but are to tight on my legs, I am a personal trainer and fitness athlete so my leg muscles are tough to deal with. I love the jeans but what should I do? Get a larger size and get them tailored? I’m 5’10 about 205lb and that muscle mass is hard to deal with when looking for clothes.
Dane, I am having the exact same problem, 6’1 200lb, but thick legs, I am looking forward to some insight as well.
For those looking for more discounted AE shoes – code SAVEBIG and PIN 1234 gets you free shipping and 30% off your highest price item at Land’s End now through Oct. 3. Unfortunately it doesn’t apply to LEC stuff, but it does work on the selection of Allen Edmonds shoes in their regular store.
Brings the Strand cap toe shoes down to $228 and the Bayfield boots to $245, which are both better prices than the AE sale.
Nice! Especially with the Bayfields. The Dalton wingtip boots are awfully tempting, but north of $300 is beyond a splurge for me. Just… can’t… do it.
Crap. I bought a pair too…. $11 is hard to turn down, expected to receive today. I tend to have this problem but was hoping to be ok here. Not making me feel optimistic.
Joe, you can order factory second Daltons for $230 directly from AE by calling their outlet store. Their # is 262-284-7158.
how are they different than normal?
Eddie, they might have a scuff on them, or a tiny scratch. Also, they have a W on the sole to show that they’re seconds. Other than that? They’re absolutely the same as a new pair.
Ooh. Damn. Thanks for this. This… this is now very tempting.
Seriously? This is not something I needed to know for the sake of my wallet which is currently lying curled in the fetal position in the corner of my room shaking with sobs after the Timberland, Bonobos, & J.Crew sales, and as a result of Albert cueing me into the wealth of AE’s on eBay.
Is this true for all styles of AE and do you know what the policy is on returns (sizing questions)?
Weston, they do not have all models in stock. I wanted to purchase a pair of their Strand shoes last week and they were sold out of seconds in that particular style. However, my wallet knows for a fact that they had Fifth Avenues and Sanfords.
