Black Friday Deals for Men

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

Black Friday used to be an exclusive brick and mortar shopping event.  That’s not the case anymore.  Even though Cyber Monday has gained significant momentum in the last decade, those of us who prefer to do our shopping over the web can still win big the Friday after Thanksgiving. These are some of the best Black Friday online options for guys, and be sure to leave any additional codes and specials you’d like to share in the comments.
.

Lands’ End Canvasicon: 30% off Everything with DRUMSTICK and pin 1121
LEC makes it easy.

The code and pin that LEC is promoting on their website makes you spend at least $50 to get the free shipping.  DRUMSTICK and 1121 is the free shipping no minimum option.  Good through Cyber Monday too.

 

Allen Edmonds: Select shoes $100 off. Other selections up to 50% off.
They’re “select” items, but it’s quite the selection.

This sale could warrant an entire post all by itself.  For the shoes, take a look at the damn near perfect looking Amok Suede Chukka for only $150.  Their Boston single Monk Strap is $100 off and down to $225.  And those leather and wool gloves that disappeared last week?  They’re now under $50.  For the marked down shoes, go here.  For the other stuff, head here.

 

J. Crew / J. Crew FACTORY: 25% off orders of $150 and up with code YOURGIFT
Check FACTORY first.

J. Crew’s black Friday deal is decent if you’re in the market for a sportcoat or a topcoat.  But if you just want something small, it’s not happening at JCrew.com.  On the other hand, J. Crew FACTORY is offering 30% off everything.  Prices are already marked on the site. Spend more than $150 at Factory and you absolutely should use the code YOURGIFT which stacks on the 30% off markdowns.

 

Amazon.com: Lightning Deals plus select item markdowns
Prepare for sensory overload

Amazon’s lightning Deals are a bit of an annual game.  During Black Friday week, Amazon selects various items in different categories (you can sort with the drop down menu) and offers those items at major discounts for a short period of time.  Once they sell out they’re gone.  It’s a bit limited, but Amazon’s Black Friday watch deals are worth a look.  Specifically the Citizen blackout for just over $100, and a part rugged part elegant Victorinox for under $170.

 

Endless: 33% off select boots & sneakers
Will shoes get the discount on Monday?

Plain ol’ laceups don’t get the 33% off treatment.  Maybe that’s coming on Cyber Monday but there are some decent looking boots that are worth a look.  Here’s the full spectrum:

 

Ratio Clothing:  20% off all custom shirts with code BLACKFRIDAY
As good as a splurge shirt gets.

Not just their new plaids (which are pretty terrific looking by the way) but EVERYTHING gets the 20% off axe thanks to the code.  Expires after Monday.  Still expensive at 20% off, but they’re custom and made in the USA.  Full review here.

 

EXPRESS:  40% off everything until Noon on 11/25/11
Simple.

That makes it easy.  Extra promo codes don’t seem to be working during this sale.  The site was saying the 40% off blanket discount expires at “Noon.”  Which Noon?  Noon ET?  Probably.

 

L.L. Bean Signature:  10% off if you click through their link right here
No code. Just click.

10% off might not seem like much at first glance, but L.L. Bean Signature hardly ever discounts.  And when they do, it’s not with a code.  This one is through this link which was pulled off their twitter feed.  The 10% off will activate and you should see the savings once you put something in your cart.

 

Indochino: 30% off orders of $700 or more with code BF2011
But you have to reach $700.

Been a long time since there was an Indochino code.  Bad news is you’ve got to drop $700 worth of goods in your cart before the 30% off BF2011 code kicks in.  That means you’re looking at $490 out of pocket after the discount.  That won’t work if you’re in the market for just one suit, but still, it’s something.

 

Living Social:  Half off gift certificates (featuring Bonobos & Bluefly?)
Nice work living social.

Even Living Social is doing the Black Friday thing.  Bonobos Groupons and other half price deal gift certificates are understandably hugely popular, and living social is offering deals from them, Bluefly, and a bunch of others… BUT, according to this, the Bonobos and Bluefly deals go up for sale on Cyber Monday.

 

Banana Republic:  35% off everything with code BRFRIDAY
Code expires today.

The code BRFRIDAY gets you a solid blanket discount.  It’s not as good as it gets, but with free shipping over $50 and free returns in store, this is one of those deals that will keep a lot of us away from the malls.

 

GAP: Everything is up to 60% off plus an additional 20% off with GAPSHOP
Careful with this one.

The good news is that everything is on sale.  The bad news is that not everything is 60% off.  Quite the opposite in fact.  But with the extra 20% off code GAPSHOP, the moleskin blazer drops to around $75.

 

Ralph Lauren:  Extra 25% off select items, plus free shipping no minimum
Worthwhile.

It’s select styles but there are plenty of good options to pick from.  For example:  The very well liked quilted leather moto gloves are a reasonable $66 shipped.  Full review here.

 

Rugby:  Take 25% off all “full price and sale product” with code RGBHOL2011
New stuff, sale stuff, everything.

The splashy graphics on Rugby.com says 25% will come off all “holiday collections.”  That seems to translate to, uh… everything that’s on the site right now.  Including sale.  It’s a major splurge, and it’s loud, but this blazer for $224.99 shipped is something else.

 

Bonobos:  Spend More / Save More with a host of codes
But are we BFF Bonobos?

Those figures work out to 15% off, 20% off, and 30% off, but only if you hit the threshold on the nose.  Might want to hang tight until Cyber Monday to see what Bonobos has up their sleeves.

 

Macy’s:  Select items marked down, extra 10 – 15% off with GOBBLE
Too much picking and choosing?

Macy’s is a bit of a scavenger hunt on Black Friday.  They’re coy about any site wide codes leading up to the actual day, and most of their best deals seem to be specific items that the discount Gods have chosen for price slashing.

 

Hilfiger:  Take 30% + 15% off with BLKFRIDAY
Ignore THTHANKS30.

The code THTHANKS30 is the one they’re playing up on the site, but the BLKFRIDAY gets you an extra 15% off on top of that.  But sadly, the Hilfiger site is about as much fun to navigate as a mall parking lot.  Code expires on Sunday.

 

Timberland:  Take 30% off everything with TBLGIFT
Stackable with their other deals.

You can stack this 30% off blanket code with their current 20% off cold weather accessories and $30 off outerwear deals.  That brings their poor man’s Barbour waxed jacket down to $117.60.  Code expires Sunday.

 

Urban Outfitters: Free Shipping No Minimum, plus various markdowns
No code needed

Urban Outfitters usually makes you kick in for shipping but through Monday they’ll pick up the tab. The fact that their suede boots just went back on sale is a nice bonus.

What else?  Have you gone out and done the Black Friday thing in person?  Leave any additional tips below…

Comments

  1. For Express, if you have a 10 off 30, 30 off 75, 30 off 90, 40 off 100, or 60 off 150 coupons, they will stack with the 40% off deal.  Today I just bought about 500 dollars worth of stuff for only about 190 dollars using two 60 off 150 coupons with free shipping

  2. Thanks for this, I’ll probably hold off on buying anything since I’m working on getting in better shape and I imagine there will be Christmas sales next month anyway.

  5.  I called into CS
    (1-888-397-1980) and placed my order with the same code and it went
    smoothly with the 40% BF discount. I hope this should help with customer specific codes that expire on Jan. 1, 2012

  6. Trying to do the same thing, EF.  However, I did buy buy the Navy Blazer and brown boots from LEC and some Earthkeepers and a jacket from Timberland since those will still fit regardless.  Worried about the functional buttons of the blazer….but hey..there are always free returns!

  8. Where did you get the 60 off 150 coupons/codes? The ones they sent me are only good for 50 off 150, and they don’t include free shipping, either. It’s still not a bad deal, but I want what you got. Any advice or suggestions? 

  9. I have a 40 off 100 (no free shipping) that I got in the mail… where the heck did you get $60 off $150 w/ free shipping??? I just bought about $200 worth

  10. i got some great deals using a few codes on top of the discount. i got a few $15 dollars off of any purchase and an awesome $40 off of $100. combines with the extra 40% off i  came up on some great deals. i might have to check out the Gap. i didn’t have that extra 20% off the first time i looked.

  13. So,I’ve recently been watching this site and others on how to dress like, a real man. I have to admit, I’ve be dressing like a big kid, nothing but jeans,hoodies, Timberlands and such. Time to get my grown man on,and im 28.

     There are so many stores to choose from, I really dont know where to start or what to get. I like those Black Crosby Moc boots,thanks Shuang Chen for pointing them out. Can anyone point some other nice choices?     P.S.  thanks for this site and all you guys for all the ideas I do get just reading your comments.

  15. picked up a j.crew bayswatter peacoat for $176.25, $185 after taxes.  was that too much of an impulse buy? 

  17. Allen Edmonds website is having serious issues. I guess they didn’t prepare for the Black Friday rush. 

  18. Dockers website is having 40% off plus free shipping site wide when you spend $100 or more.  I’ll be picking up some Alpha Khakis.  Better deal here then from Macy’s.

  21. I got a sweater from Gap for $28 shipped. Not an incredible deal, but it was 100% wool and they had those elusive XS sizes.

  23. Any thoughts on the Indochino deal? Anyone taking advantage of it? Wish the had the option to share it with a friend so each could get one suit. They have some really nice fabrics in stock now.

  24. RLB – I bought the J Crew peacoat last year for around that price and it was worth every penny. I spent the extra $20 and got the one that was lined with Thinsulate. It’s a very warm coat that has a nice tailored fit. I get compliments on it a lot. I think you’ll be glad you made the purchase.

  25. Waiting for AE’s site to jump back up. I have about 10 accessories I need to purchase. Shoe laces at 80cents…along with polishes and shining cloths on the cheap. Might as well stock up on what I need from their quality line of shoe care maintenance items.

  28. Just picked up a pair of the AE Steinboks for under $200! Some of the most beautiful (and most well-made) saddle shoes I’ve ever seen. Thanks to my wife for the early Christmas gift!

  29. This is actually a GREAT deal.  Many of their pants are already marked down to $35, so the 40% off plus free shipping brings them to $21/pair!!!!!!

  30. i passed up the thinsulate, and am regretting it a bit.  thanks for the feedback though – very excited. 

  31. Doing my good deed and sharing my Express code if anyone would like it. 

    50 off 150, 30 off 100, 15 off 30.

    If the code doesn’t work, call their 800 number and they will fix it for you, they had issues with a lot of the codes earlier, so that might be what you ran into Joe.

    2 codes: (both are active)

    1135962774007064
    1116439919007052

    Also, the malls opening at midnight was actually very helpful for me.  The fiancé and I went out at 12, took a nap at 3, went back out at 5, and were home by 8 before the crowds got bad.  I will say that H&M was by far the worst, people were literally getting in fights before the store opened, security had to be called (I did get $10 for free to there though, woo scratchoffs!) 

    Target had a line of over 300 people, just to get in the store, I didn’t go to Kohl’s, but I know 2 people who waited over 100 minutes to check out.

    Overall the crowds at midnight were nothing at all.

    Oh and if you want to get the lady friend something special, Yankee Candle is having a buy 2 get 1 free on candles, you can also print out a coupon for buy 2 get 2 free, or $10 off.  Took care of most of my friends that way, great stocking stuffers too.

    Oh and did I mention that I did all of this after going straight from the Ravens vs. 49ers game last night still wearing Under Armor?

    Happy Black Friday all.

  33. Thanks for the codes Chris. Picked up two Merino V-necks, wool producer pants, and two pair of socks ($112). Now all I need is a nice wool coat 😉 . Thanks Again

  36. Hey Joe,

    I’m super curious as to what you bought/ordered this Black Friday. Will you make a post about the deals you found good enough to act on? Thanks

  37. I couldn’t really find many deals worth acting on, but gap’s sale resulted in two or three styles of 100% merino sweaters for $20 a piece ($25 black friday + 20% off coupon online).

    So I ordered 3 for $66 w/ tax. Over $50 is free shipping. 

    Gap’s sweater quality can be spotty, but for $20 a week or two is OK.

  38. I finally, after long and hard consideration ordered he Allen Edmund’s MacNeil in brown.  I have really wanted a nice looking wing tip.  The Canvas sale was pretty good.  I also bought a pair of Fox River monkey socks… I will wear these and not make a doll  :)

  39. I wouldn’t go as far as to call this affordable style… but if you were looking for a splurge item, mrporter.com is having an end of season sale with lots of items 50% off (and select few 30%).
