Five Decent Sales: The Friday Handful

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

Every so often a weekend comes along where there’s a glut of sales, but none of the sales produce enough solid finds to warrant your full attention.  This appears to be one of those weekends.  Five of the better sales, one for each finger, are below.  Included are a few picks worth pointing out.

UPDATE:  And just like that, Lands’ End/L.E.C. jump in the ring with a 30% off everything sale.  Code is ENJOY30 and pin is 1850.  Free shipping at $50.  Expires Monday.  Hat tip to Gilla for being the first one in via the comments.
.

Banana Republic: 25% off w/code BRCREATE (exp. 4/22)
Lots of colors marked down.

The Pick:  Cotton Cashmere V – $26.24 ($59.50) & Silk/Cotton/Cashmere V – $37.13 ($69.50)
The BR sale is supposed to raise up to $500k for something called Opportunity Finance Network.  25% off isn’t too mind blowing, but it works on sale and some sale items have already been drastically reduced.  The Cotton Cashmere V’s are supposed to have a nice tailored fit and earned 4.5 / 5 stars after 16 reviews.  The Silk/Cotton/Cashmere sweaters dip a little low, but the fabric is outstanding.  Now under $40 for a bunch of basic, select colors.  (And for all those size 36 guys… maybe this suit jacket for $127, and try it out as a blazer?)

 

Lord & Taylor:  25% off Friends & Family Sale w/ code FRIENDS (exp. 4/22)
Pick via the RL website.

The Pick:  Ralph Lauren Roderick Driver – $74.99 ($99)
Some of you made it pretty clear you’re not a fan of the standard driving shoe heel on this or its cousin the Terry Ribbon loafer.  But there are those of us who are indifferent, and at the same time awfully happy with the leather quality (assuming it’s as supple here as on the Terry.)  Much sleeker than a standard boat shoe, and more interesting than a simple driver.  Ships free as well.  Looks better at the RL site.  (Also worth a look: ESQ’s Filmore for $146.25)

 

Kenneth Cole: Take 30% off Full Priced Items w/code FANDF (exp 4/22)
Wear a dark suit & sunglasses, and TSA is going to search you.

The Pick: 20″ Coated Canvas Duffel with leather trim – $194.50 ($278)
Mean looking for under $200. Lots of city, not a lot of country with this one.  2600 cubic inches of space and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.  A bit of a splurge.  Too bad that the code only (seems?) to work on full priced items.

 

Brooks Brothers:  15% off to support Make-A-Wish (exp 4/20)
America. God Bless it.

The Pick:  Rancourt & Co Suede Chukkas – $126.65 ($298)
No code necessary here, and if you’ve got a Brooks Brothers credit card, you’ll get 20% off.  Made in the USA and was pushing $300.  Now less than half that since they were already marked down and the extra 15% off takes them down even further.  Doesn’t ship free though.  Suede is from Horween.  Crepe soles and they can be re-soled.

 

Express:  Buy one get one 50% off everything + $15 off every $60 w/ code 1239
Plenty of stretch in these.

The Pick:  Four Express Signature Polos – $104.70 w/free shipping (that’s $26 per)
You heard about the Brooks Brothers $2000 polo that launched earlier this week?  44 Brooks Brothers polos for two grand.  Right.  This is the poor man’s, slightly less ridiculous version.  You’d have to be in dire need of polo shirts to buy four at once, but $26.18 per polo, shipped, isn’t half bad at all.  The deal combines:

  • A buy one get one 50% off sale
  • The $15 off every $60 promo code 1239
  • A free shipping at $125 (pre code) offer that expires today.

The 1243 code being advertised on Express.com gets you only $15 off every $75.  Did well in the polo palooza.

Comments

  3. Just a heads up – unlike most Banana Republic sales, this one does not exclude the “Mad Men” collection.  Yesterday I ordered the three-button navy blazer for 25% off.  Its expensive still, and the collection itself isn’t too impressive.  Thought it was worth mentioning though.

  7. I tried that cotton cashmere V… it fit me really strangely as opposed to the silk/cotton/cashmere version.  The material also felt scratchy, can’t recommend at all.

  8. I know this doesn’t affect too many guys on this blog, but Belk has a 20% off sale this Saturday from 8am-noon. The 20% off is on top of any other sale currently running, so it can be substantial savings. I got a clerk to grant me the 20% yesterday, as I’ll be out of town over the weekend. I got a cool linen blazer and a couple pairs of linen jeans. Trying to prepare to survive another crazy hot summer in NC. It’s going to be ugly.

  9. If I didn’t just buy some stuff from the last J.Crew and a pair of AEs from Ebay I would grab some Mad Men stuff from BR. 🙁

  10. Have the chukkas and they are maybe my favorite shoes.  I am wearing AE Amoks right now and the Rancourts are way more comfortable.

  11. J. Crew MUSTHAVE Code for 30% off is what I am using since it is expiring today. Nice round-up of all the sales!

  13. FWIW, I don’t buy polos 44 at a time, but when I do buy them, I buy them in sets. This is because Brooks Brother 346 outlets almost always have a 3-for-$100 deal on polos during the spring/summer months, and that’s exclusively where I buy polos now. I’ve never bought one at a regular BB store so I can’t speak for relative quality, but they appear to be visually indistinguishable from the ones in the recent BB 44-for-$2000 deal. I’ve had great experience with them and they stand up to a lot of use (when I’m not spilling stuff on ’em and staining ’em up).

  14. Lands End offers free shipping, no minimum, with this 
    Promotion Code PICK30 and PIN 3022

  17. Spending $120 at Express and using the code netted me a “free” 1MX shirt with the sale they are running. I say “free” because I still had to pay taxes on the thing.

  18. I just picked up the  Cotton Cashmere V from BR for $20.99 using the 30% off code BRSEIZE…  get it while it’s hot!
