Presidents Day 2012 Sales Rundown

February 17, 2012 By Joe | Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. Also, we take your privacy rights seriously. Head here to learn more.

Presidents Day, President’s Day, or Presidents’ Day.  Doesn’t matter.  It’s not officially called any of those.  Technically, the federal holiday coming up on Monday is “Washington’s Birthday” and thanks to the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, it never actually falls on Washington’s Birthday (February 22nd.)  Makes total sense, doesn’t it?

How do most U.S. Citizens passively celebrate a holiday that’s not named what we think it’s named and doesn’t even fall on the day of the thing it’s actually named after?  They hit retail sales.  The markdowns are a bit scattered this year.  Here’s a few that might be worth a look this weekend with a pick or two for each.
.

Indochino End of Season Sale – Save on select suits/blazers/etc…
From left: Some guy, Steve Nash.

Consider: The gray shadow plaid suit for $299 (was $399) and the Steve Nash Nailhead 3-piece for $429 (was $579.) Indochino hasn’t been doing that many sales or promotions in the last year, and this one isn’t half bad if you’re in the market for a suit that’s a little off the wall. Suits come with that $75 re-tailoring credit. Not really a President’s Day weekend sale, but instead just an end of season clearance.

 

Banana Republic – Extra 25% off already reduced styles w/ BRPRES25
Lots of sizes left too.

Consider: The Black Wool Top Coat for $97.49 (was $250) Sure pitchers and catchers are reporting to spring training, but a coat this good looking doesn’t come along for under $100 all that often. If you limped through this winter with an old beat up coat, now might be the time to upgrade. Not the thickest thing out there. More over here.

 

Gap – Up to 40% off Select Styles online & in store.
“Up to” is key here.

Consider: Trying in store.  Online is kinda mneh.  “Up to” and “select styles” are being used to describe the same sale?  Could be a bit of a smoke screen.

 

Express – $15 off every $60 with 1095 and buy one get one 50% off everything
One of the best.

Consider:  The new Express Signature polo.  Specifically, two of them, which when combining the buy one get one 1/2 deal and code, it comes out to $52.35 or $26 per polo before shipping.  This year’s version has a contrast placket.  Some will like it, some won’t, but the springy (but not clingy) fabric and fit makes these one of the best values in polos every year.  Credit to reader Shaun for sending in a style tip about these being back.  He said they felt a little longer in the body than in the past, which will be good for those who think they’ve been a little chopped in previous years.

 

Endless – Up to 50% off Site wide
Ships and returns free.

Consider:  The John Varvatos Varvatos Dress Medallion Chukka for $178.54 (was $298) or Cole Haan’s Air Colton in Taupe for $115 (was $198.)  Both of these were much, much cheaper when they were available during CLAD’s first couple rounds of markdowns.  But they’re long gone.

 

Tommy Hilfiger – Extra 30% off sale with THPRES30
Hilfiger is getting there.

Consider:  The Cap Toe Boot, now $55.99, or if you’re looking for a darker cotton/poly mix trench, their navy blue option is down to $140.  Looks like there might be a small logo on the left sleeve, and no word on the fit.  Overall the brand is looking better these days, but their website still seems to clunk around.

 

Ralph Lauren – Extra 20% off Select Sale Items
No code needed either…

Consider:  The Italian Yarn Cable Knit Shawl Collar for $79.99 (was $165) and the buffalo check large media case for $35.20 (was $125).  Also worth a look, this lambswool argyle scarf for $27.99.  The new prices should show up in your cart.  More of an ongoing thing than a President’s Day Weekend sale.

The Random Rest:   French Connection – 30% off sale with FCPRES, Macy’s – 15% off with PRES or in-store savings pass,  Kenneth Cole – $25 off $125 with SHOP9, Bloomingdale’s – Big Brown Bag sale / various markdowns.

What else?  Feel free to drop any codes and tips in the comments section below…

    Next week from Feb 23-29, Lands End Inlet stores are selling their Back Rack Canvas items for an additional 25% off. 
    http://www.landsend.com/aboutus/stores/inlets/calendar/index.html

    My local store doesn’t have much Canvas stuff, and next to nothing of the Canvas line is on their Back Rack. Hope this changes for the sale days.

    Crap…when are the grey suede oxford Air Coltons going to gon on sale!?

    Love the all-too-rare Indochino sale.

    I’m offering free makeout sessions to women in the Orlando area this weekend only. After that, they gotta pay again.

    It’s my way of giving back.

    Shawn, you’re a true gentleman. I’d recommend avoiding the Air Coltons in taupe, the color just looks a bit pukish in person. I’m returning the pair I got from CLAD, and I only paid like sixty bucks for them.

    getting hard to resist buying things when I check Dappered everyday

  7. Y.O. says

    February 17, 2012 at 7:25 AM

    Hahaha, what exactly does “a bit pukish” mean?

    Like the picture up top.  I passed Abe and Tom handing out Nationals schedules on my way to work yesterday.

    Anyone have any experience with those Hilfiger boots? They look nice at that price..

    Pukish – adj. 1. Of or pertaining to puke.

    The Presidents’ Day sales I’m most excited for are the 50% off deals at my GoodWill and Savers. I even signed up to become a Savers member so I could do the day-early savings thing.

    The j.crew factory suiting is on sale as well. Added with the 30% off this is quite the deal.

    Resistance is not futile: https://dappered.com/2011/10/when-not-to-buy-it/  Stay strong Roth.  Stay strong…

    J. Crew Factory is having a 30% off sale on every factory item plus another 30% off that with the code shopnow!

    I’m surprised; I thought they only had enough material for 20 Nash suits.. they really couldn’t even sell that many? 

  16. Shane Shepherd says

    February 17, 2012 at 11:20 AM

    Those John Varvatos dress medallions are incredible!  No budget for them right now though. 🙁

  17. Guest says

    February 17, 2012 at 8:36 PM

     Curse them for not having that Thompson suit in 36 – it comes out to $155!

    anyone have a free shipping code for lord and taylor?

  20. Kenneth Simpson says

    February 19, 2012 at 1:18 AM

    Haha, thanks Ben for that elucidation. It’s a sickishly pale green color, rather more green than the picture seems to indicate.

    J. Crew (the original site) has a sale of 20% off using the code FABFEB.  This includes both regularly and sale priced items.  It appears that any exclusions, such as almost all their Alden shoes, have been removed from the website. 

  22. Don says

    February 19, 2012 at 1:07 PM

    Hey fellas, I forgot to add that the FABFEB code is 20% off orders over $150 and apparently online only.
