Use code NOVEVENT at checkout for 20% off purchases over $100
Endless sales can be tricky. This one requires you to put $100 of merchandise in your cart to get the discount. So no matter what, out of pocket will be at least $80. That, and there are often a boatload of brands that the code won’t work on. This time that load on the brand-exclusion boat is plenty extensive.
But you still get free 2-day shipping or maybe even free overnight. Returns are easy and free as well. The entire site (minus the numerous exclusions) is on sale, so a few watch picks have been sprinkled in below…
.
Wenger Alpine Rallye – $219.19
($400)

Gotta love it when this happens. So it’s actually $240 if you buy through endless with the code. Endless is owned by Amazon. Amazon is selling this very same watch, direct, for $20 less with free super saver shipping. Endless gets it to you within two business days for free. Amazon takes a few more days than that, but unlike Endless, you’re on the hook for return shipping. It’s on the larger side, and it has to be one of if not the best looking Wenger out there. Not quite Victorinox level, but still pretty slick.
Calvin Klein Warren Suede Chukka – $96.00
($120)

A suede boot that’s not clunky through the toe. Four colors to choose from including black, navy, and the charcoal and brown shown above. Under $100 after the code and free two day shipping.
a.testoni slip on loafer – $217.80
($495)

A brand that requires an investment, and most often an investment much more than $217. Already marked down from the retail price of nearing $500, it’s a loafer with a perfect shape. Made in Italy.
Kenneth Cole New York Iconic Chronograph – $120.00 ($150)

The majority of Kenneth Cole’s watch line is so busy they borderline on weird. This is one of the exceptions. Plenty going on with the dial but it’s clean. Movement is Japanese quartz. Get lucky and you might be able to get it during a Kenneth Cole website sale for under $100, but $120 with free 2-day and free returns isn’t bad either.
Steve Madden Ethin – $80.00
($100)

The fast, cheap, and easy casual shoe upgrade. Steve Madden shoes aren’t known for mind blowing quality, but for $80 with free 2-day shipping? Might be a good way to add a new pair of casual wingtips to your collection. Also worth a look: Their smooth Bristole boot.
J. Shoes Mojave – $130.40
– $108.00

Three colors are available and the lightest brown (“peanut”) is the cheapest. Limited sizes on those though. Overall great shape, simple lace up design, and leather with some texture.
Allen Edmonds Vernon – $260.00
($325)

Those’ll work. And then some. Also available in black. Didn’t dip this low even during the recent Allen Edmonds sale. Still a major purchase, but they’re AEs. Nice blend of modern and traditional.
Bulova Adventurer Chronograph – $179.39
($299)

For the larger guys only. The adventurer series are a LARGE line of watches. 44.5mm in diameter that wears even a little bigger. Nice price for the black dial option though. Bright red second hand and nice crowns. Not subtle.
Rush by Gordon Rush Century – $120.00
($150)

Proof that less can absolutely be more. Black leather upper with a contrasting sole, it’s a casual laceup that can do anything with jeans or chinos. Still seems a little expensive even with the discount.
Allen Edmonds Elgin – $235.96
($295)

Almost as low as they got during that big Allen Edmonds sale which happened a month ago. Free two day shipping and free returns. More casual for sure, but a made in American waxy leather awesome kind of casual.
Torgoen Aviation Chronograph in Black
or Ivory – $239.20
($395)

It’s good to be a larger guy in the market for a watch this time around. Torgoen watches are usually larger than what most average wrists can handle. 45mm diameter with Torgoen’s flight dial styling.
Clarks Desert Mali – $104.00
($130)

Clarks does more than their desert boots (which are on sale as well), and the taller full boot desert Mali looks like it could be a winner. Three colors to pick from, crepe sole, and a slim looking toe.
Florsheim Veblen – $122.39 – $135.96
($170)

Link20 still gets 20% off through Florsheim.com, but now that there’s a 20% off code at Endless, it’s best to go through them for these next few days. Shipping is faster find Endless and more importantly, returns are free. The Veblen in the reddish “rust” color is a few extra bucks off thanks to a sale.
The code NOVEVENT is good through 11/3. Again, exclusions apply & it’s only good on purchases of $100 or more.
I picked up a pair if those Allen Edmonds Elgin’s a few months ago. They’re pretty much my favorite shoes to wear with jeans right now. They’re from the new “rough” lineup and it’s a new direction for AE, but a good direction for sure. The price is well worth it for shoes of this quality, and they’re made in the USA, win-win!
What makes them “rough”?
Finish of the leather. I have the mctavishes, from the same line. It’s just not a very uniform color, lots of mottling and grain in the slight pull-up finish.
They are also some of my favorite shoes; up there with my double monks, and that’s saying a lot.
Only issue is the double oak sole; it looks a wee bit clunky. Wish it was a touch narrower, but it’s not a deal breaker to me.
I purchased a pair of the Allen Edmonds Vernon during their Rediscover America sale. They are fantastic shoes, and I hope to buy a black pair soon.
Definitely going with those AE Vernons. I am replacing my AE Ashtons (which I had for 13 years!) and was just informed by my cobbler can no longer be resoled.
I own the Kenneth Cole New York Iconic Chronograph watch you posted. I’ve had it one year thus far and I wear it multiple times a week. It is a fantastic watch. I always get compliments on. Great watch and great band. I’d recommend it to anyone who is looking for a white face watch.
Anybody have those Clark’s Mali boots? I’m kind of tempted given how much I like the DB’s
Nice! Always been one of my favorites for around $100. Far and away the best looking Kenneth Cole watch to me as well.
You can send your AE’s back to them for a process called re-crafting that will make them look completely brand new for about $100. They’ll then last you as long as they did the first time around. The only catch is that if you’ve had other work done on them by anyone else other than AE, they might not be able to re-craft them.
I’ve seen the Vernons in person at an AE store, and there’s something about those two random rows of holes across the toe that just makes it look like they stopped before they finished making the shoes. It’s like it can’t decide whether it’s a dress shoe or a casual shoe. Some can be both easily, but this one just looks off.
Vernon’s delivered today. Really nice. Thanks for the recommendation. Probably wouldn’t have known about the style without your blog.
