Macy’s One Day Sale Picks – November 15 – 16, 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 Tues. November 15 – Wed. November 16.  Items marked with a * are “Web Busters.” In store prices may or may not match up.  Selection on all items (especially shoes) in store can vary greatly.
.

Ralph Lauren Shawl Collar Stripe Sweater – $59.99 ($115.00)
Stripes but not crazy

Still not cheap for a cotton sweater, but you pay for the pony in some regards.  Shawl collar and stripes at the cuffs and waist keep it from being boring.  Far from it.

 

Nautica Wool Mix Peacoat – $69.99* ($250)
Size shown: Medium.

Not incredibly thick but not flimsy either.  Closer at the sides than most Nautica stuff, but you can still sneak plenty of layers in underneath.  Quilted interior and that perfect mid thigh length.  Here’s an up close view.  Part of the best affordable outerwear feature, and it’s hard to imagine the $70 price tag getting any lower.

 

Tallia Wool & Cashmere Flannel Suit – $219.99 ($650)
Could be a total steal. Minus the shirt.

First, not for beginners or minimalists.  Second, that shirt on the model ain’t the best play.  Claims to be a wool/cashmere blend and flannel at that.  Could be very British looking if you lose the nuclear shirt.

 

Calvin Klein Warren Suede Chukka – $99.99* ($125)
Ships free and returns free in store.

Calvin Klein shoes are more form than function, but a few of us have pairs that continue to hold up well over time.  Available in a black suede, deep navy suede, and this hard not to like charcoal suede.

 

INC Slim Fit Cord Blazer – $59.99 ($99.50)
Also available in grey and black.

Macy’s and GAP must be taking a reverse psychology route when it comes to their online photos for their blazers.  They just drape these things over the models and they look lifeless.  This blazer from INC is a slim fit that might need only minor alterations if you’re in good shape.  A new favorite.

 

Club Room Merino V-Neck – $27.99 ($70.00)
So if you want a canary yellow sweater...

These are true Club Room, not “CR by Club Room” so the fit will be pretty boxy.  Closer to Alfani than Alfani Red for sure.  If you’re real slim leaning skinny, consider forgetting it despite the sub $30 price tag.  Head in store and try a size down if you can.  Tons of colors.

 

Dockers Alpha Khaki – $39.99 ($68.00)
Slim and different.

A warning on these: plenty have said that they fit real slim.  So if you’ve got bigger legs or any weight on you, might be best to stay away.  Under $40 is a price that even Dockers themselves couldn’t match during their Khaki event from a few weeks back.

 

Hilfiger Color Block Sweater & Ranger Crew Neck – $94.98 w/ TOMMY ($196)
Save another $25 when bought together.

Those are the prices if you buy both of them together.  The code TOMMY takes $25 off Hilfiger purchases over $100, and these two wool blend sweaters could easily be a well loved foundation to your casual sweater lineup.  No word on fit though, but they do return free in-store.  Barely shy of the $99 free shipping mark.  The color block sweater is just different enough without going full Fair Isle.  And more on Fair Isle tomorrow…

 

Bar III Elliot Stripe Tie – $26.99 ($39.50)
Limited colors + herringbone texture + stripes = well done.

Not to completely channel the Beach Boys, but wouldn’t it be nice to know the width of these things?  Bar III is a Macy’s house brand that leans pretty young.  So be careful here, they might be razor thin.

 

Club Room Estate Gingham Shirt – $12.99 ($39.50)
Cheap enough to spring for tailoring.

Description says it’s “oxford woven” but it looks awfully poplin-like from this end of the internet.  Dirt cheap.  Maybe worth picking up if you’re close to the free shipping threshold and don’t want to spring for the UPS man.

 

Tommy Hilfiger Tuxedo Jacket and Tuxedo Pant – $234.98 w/ TOMMY
Own it. Not rent.

If you’ve got some fancy black tie affair coming up during the holidays, now’s the time to strongly consider investing in your own tux.  That way, if you do decide to take the plunge and shed those awful rental tuxedos for the rest of your life, you’ll have plenty of time to get it tailored to your exact specifications.  The Hilfiger trim fit tux should have you looking 100x better than anyone in a rental.  An extra $25 off with the code TOMMY.  Also available in the more traditional peak lapel, as well as a shawl collar if that’s your thing.

 

Citizen Eco-Drive JZ1020-03 – $199.13 ($295)
One hell of a blend.

Can a watch with any sort of digital readout look refined?  Probably not, but this might be as close as it gets.  Eco drive power system means it never needs a battery, the white stitching on the band is a great touch, and it looks like it has all the options you could want or need.  Macy’s claims it’s an exclusive, and it sure seems to be.

This current Macy’s One Day Sale ends Wednesday 11/16.

    That suit looks awesome, although I typically have a hard time with sizing on designer / dept store suits.  Prob a little too aggressive for my office as well.

    Joe — seems like you’re a huge fan of the peacoat.  Does it have a cheaper feel to it?  A little hesitant about the wool/poly (and “other”) blend you mention in the other post.  I’m also debating between the peacoat look and more of a Barbour International coat for a winter casual coat.

    Hmmm… have been debating about buying my own tux all year. Might have to jump on this one. Now just have to decided on a normal or shawl collar.

    I worry that the Nautica peacoat just isn’t what I need for winter.  Minnesota gets a little chilly.  Wonderful price though.

    Peak or notch man, don’t do the shawl!  That’s my 2 cents from an anonymous person on the internet, but ignore it at your peril…

    I always hope that Dappered will do a piece on the wool peacoat currently offered by J Crew. Check their web site, I haven’t seen a nicer looking one anywhere, but you’ll definitely need to sell a kidney on the black market to afford one.

    I love those Bar III ties. Keeping my fingers crossed for maybe a 2 and 3/4 inch width on those guys. I just got an INC. pea coat from Macy’s two weeks ago for $129 and thought that was a great deal. Maybe I pulled the trigger too soon…

  8. Joe says

    Huge fan?  Probably not.  Huge fan for SEVENTY BUCKS?  Yup 🙂  I don’t think it has a cheaper feel to it, but I’ve seen comments from others saying they thought it felt cheap (while others got it for around $100 and seemed to love it.)  It’s all relative I think.

    The thing about that, is that while it’s nowhere near a topcoat, you can dress it up more than most other options.

    Definitely peak or shawl. I like shawls, but the peak on this one is pretty understated.

    The new Wallace & Barnes one?  http://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/outerwear/wallaceandbarnes/PRDOVR~51731/51731.jsp  Yeah, too rich for my blood, and this site.  Looks incredible though (but it better for $700)

    I’m picking up the tux with peak lapels. I need to find a tuxedo shirt. There is much literature on the subject.. but I like the hidden button look. I’m wondering if this will work with a black with white pattern bow tie: http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/boss-black-slim-fit-tuxedo-shirt/3120304?cm_cat=datafeed&cm_ite=boss_black_’slim_fit’_tuxedo_shirt:316645&cm_pla=tops:men:dress-shirt

    I wonder if those Bar III ties will be in my Macy’s or not… The Nautica woolens never made it there.

    How do the Club Room shirts fit? If in between S/M would you lean small?

    I bought the non- Wallace and Barnes J Crew Peacoat last year and the pockets ripped though and 2 bottons fell off in just one season…

    A heavy wool peacoat can work up in MN, but if that one is lighter it won’t. My heavy BR serves me well all winter in MN, except those -20 January days…

    fwiw, i bought this Tommy tux a few months ago – brought it into my tailor and he refused to work on it….he said the construction and quality was so poor he wasnt comfortable working on it because he knew i wouldn’t be satisfied….this guy is the house tailor for Burberry in my city but is in no way a snob…i trust his opinion – something to consider before buying

    You can get $10 off $75 if you use coupon code XJW562A992.

    Thanks! Allowed me to get another shirt for the same price minus the coupon.

    Wow, well… that’s honestly the first really poor thing I’ve heard about that tux from Hilfiger.  I mean, it’s a bargain for sure, and I hate to imagine what he would have said if he would have seen the Alfani RED version.

    I just got back from Macys and they were doing a “buy one get TWO free” on the sportscoats/blazers. Needless to say, I came home with three new sportcoats.

  23. Zebra3 says

    November 15, 2011 at 6:28 PM

    I was talking about the other one for a little under $300 I think. That’s still a lot for a coat.

    I was in-store, so no idea on if they are doing it online as well.

  27. David P. says

    November 16, 2011 at 1:47 PM

    Possibly a dumb question, but how do you know if there is enough material for a tailor to lengthen the sleeves on a jacket? I tried the INC blazer on in the store, and the fit was amazing in the body and the shoulders, but I have really long arms and would need them extended by about 1.5 inches to look ok…

    I have noticed that most of the outerwear suggestions that Joe has put up are peacoats, too.  A notable exception is the Banana Republic topcoat.  As I’m in Chicago, a peacoat gets a little drafty in a cold, windy day, so I prefer to have something longer like a 3/4-length car coat or top coat/Chesterfield.  I would go for a bridge coat (essentially a longer peacoat) if it wasn’t for the buttons (which tend to be gold buttons as bridge coats are for officers/petty officers).  Joe, any suggestions on other 3/4-length or mid-thigh options?  I might end up springing for Indochino’s coat. 

    As for the cheaper feel, you have to keep in mind that the Nautica peacoat has been changed for the masses.  You can feel the difference in thickness of the fabric between the Nautica and a Schott pea coat.  The material, from my guess, is 14-18 oz. vs. Schott’s 32 oz.  Incidentally, MilSpec pea coats are 22-24 oz.
