Take 40% off Almost Everything Hilfiger w/ THFRIENDS40
Watches and fragrance are excluded. Code Expires Friday 4/6/12. Shipping is a $7.95 flat rate charge, or free at $150. You’re on the hook for returns, since they’ll deduct $6.00 for their pre-paid label.
Hilfiger is getting better. But they’re not quite there yet. Their website? Improved. But still a bit clunky. And a flat rate charge for shipping is nice, but $7.95 ain’t cheap, plus $6.00 in return charges makes everything you see here at least a $13.95 risk. Hilfiger fits can be on the generous side too, so take into consideration tailoring costs. Too bad watches aren’t included, because there’s a few mega-cheap automatics that might be worth taking a flyer on with the 40% discount.
.
Hilfiger 21″ Duffel – $35.99 ($80)
The dude bag. Pushing 3,000 cubic inches of space. Leans sporty but isn’t destined for nothing but the gym. Big points for the darkest option called “night.” Synthetic all around, and immensely inexpensive.
Simon Bag Weekender – $178.80 ($298)
Lemme say it before anyone else does. The “chick” bag. As in, and again, lemme channel some in the audience here… “Holy Hell it’s a PURSE. How can any self respecting, crotch scratchin’, beer swillin’ man CARRY such an emasculating thing! Does it have a pocket for your testicles? Because you won’t need em while lugging around THIS thing. Enjoy your external leather-handled scrotum replacement you GELDING.” Same thing was suggested by Esquire in a different color scheme. Thinkin’ the price on Esquire, $198, is a typo? Maybe?
Textured Heavyweight Shawl Collar Cardigan – $35.99 ($78)
Not a bad price for what looks like a pretty thick shawl collar. Sizing? Again, who knows. And another piece of proof that the Hilfiger site has some strides to still make. The description reads: “… Heavy weight allows it to double as a jacket. NO FABRIC INFO Machine washable.” So, fair to assume it’s not made of sugar?
Canvas braided belt – $23.99 ($48)
Remember with belts, you want to size up from your waist size to get a normal looking fit. Washed leather on the ends and two color options available. Sizes are starting to get scarce. Do note that there’s some logo-ing on one end.
Multi Colored Crewneck – $41.99 ($98)
“Classic fit.” Damn. That can be troublesome. Claims to be lightweight, and the thicker stripes with the jump to another color at the top of the chest & neck makes for a nice & unique combo. Cotton isn’t getting any cheaper, but if it fits like a trash bag… then eh…
Small Gingham Button Down – $23.99 ($58)
Sometimes it’s about finding the right piece of rock that your sculptor of a tailor can carve on. Gingham available in navy, green, pink, red, and a lighter blue. Might take $10 – $15 to dial it in, but even after that extra cash and shipping costs are worked in, could be a workhorse that will then fit perfectly.
Dot 3.5″ Silk Tie – $20.99 ($49.50)
Not everyone likes their ties under 2.5″ or even 3″. A substantial width with a subtle dot pattern. And in green. Green ties. Not easy to find, not for everyone, but nice all the same.
New Trench – $119.99 ($348.00)
A single breasted trench for the guys who can’t stand the double breasted look. Appears to be an upgraded version of what they were selling at Macy’s a few months back. 46% cotton, 54% synthetic, so it’s got that blend thing going for it. Should keep the water from soaking up into the fabric. Looks pretty good on the web, but again, Hilfiger is real hard to peg when it comes to sizes.
Cable Cricket V-Neck – $41.99 ($98)
Preppier than Zack Morris at a clambake. One of those things that 99% of us won’t even attempt, yet 25% of us will walk up to, think about it, then walk away… only to applaud some dude for having the style onions to pull it off when we see something similar later on down the road. Points for the red on the white cable sweater.
Hector Cotton/Chambray vest – $41.99 ($98.00)
Bit of a break this one. The front is a knit, while the back is woven. 73% cotton, 27% linen. What say you vest/waistcoat fans? Too weird?
Wallet & Money Clip Set – $35.40 ($59.00)
So it’s just a plain black wallet. That’s good. 40% off is even better. The kicker & closer is the casual tie-stripe money clip. Perfect for the spring and summer when you want to wear a casual sportcoat and carry some cash in a clip, but don’t want to blind anyone with something metallic.
The NOT on sale watches: Brown Strap Auto – $145 ($87) | Blackout – $165 ($99)
Well hell. The 40% off would have been nice, but watches are an exclusion. So watch fans… if they were 40% off (prices shown in parentheses above) would you take a flier on a super cheap Hilfiger auto? Leave it all below…
The Hilfiger 40% off Friends and family Sale THFRIENDS40 expires Friday 4/6/12.
Why does Hilfiger blatantly insist on putting their logo on everything?
Is this strictly an Online sale?
the shawl collar sweater is nice looking
Thank goodness – they do not ship to Australia, so I’ll still be able to buy Easter Eggs for my kids!!!!
I like the shawl collar cardigan, but the lack of info on the material is disturbing. Maybe customer service could find out? The vest…interesting. I like the contrast back, especially since both sides appear to be more casual. I’m not a fan of the “casual vest with the poly back for a suit jacket” nonsense. The material combination indicates it’ll be good even through the summer. And the wallet money clip combo – usually I don’t really understand what you hype about on these accessories. I just don’t get what makes some of them so awesome. But I get that money clip. That’s different, still slick, and is a much better match for my dressed-up casual style. Just my opinions.
If it weren’t for the damn Macy’s sale, I might still have some money to pick up the vest, the wallet, maybe even the cardigan. Then again, if it weren’t for the Macy’s sale, I would have spent that money on the LE/LEC sale. Damn retailers leaving us high-and-dry for months until BAM! The Easter sales won’t be long either now.
Wait, wtf? The vest has pockets…
That just kinda killed it for me.
Why does Ralph Lauren do the same thing? Especially that “big pony” nonsense.
Consumers are the best advertising, and you’re paying them to do it!
That trench looks pretty slick for $120!
I peed a little until I saw it wasn’t double-breasted. *Le sign.*
Your pricing is incorrect with the 40% off.
The shawl cardigan from $78 w/40% = $59.99.
The vest from $98 w/40% = $69.99
Your prices are calculating for a discount between 54%-55% off.
Some of the items listed are on sale. The discount is then applied on top of the sale price (i.e. the shawl cardigan is already on sale for $59 minus an additional 40%).
I would likely take a chance on the brown strap watch at under $100, but I’d be reticent about the $14 sunk cost.
He’s got it right. The black prices are the original price before sale and discount. So all these items are on sale which is already cheaper than the original price then you apply the 40% off to make them even cheaper.

Odd.
When I had the cardigan in my cart it was at $78 and not on sale for $59.
Same with the vest. When it was in my cart it was $98 and not on sale.
Damnit.. and now the cardigan is out of stock.
I’m still showing that there’s M and L in stock for the cardigan. XXL as well, so it’s not totally out of stock. But yeah, like Jed said, lots of the picks are already on sale.
Love the bag, hate that its just a few inches too large to carry on…
IS THAT A PURSE!!??
A few years ago, I picked up some Hilfiger button-up shirts for super cheap at a Macy’s one-day sale and I loved them. Being a bigger guy (6’4″), the proportions were perfect at the shoulders and the sleeves were the right length and it was just flattering. I started to appreciate the Hilfiger fetish for color, quality fabric and the nice details. The shirts are overpriced for $70 regular but, when I find some on sale, I always pick up one or two. I grabbed a couple of Oxfords at this sale, earlier this week.
I do have to warn against the crewneck sweaters, though. I picked a few up, some time ago, and found them bulky and shapeless so Caveat Emptor on those.
hmmm…if tommy gets a c+, what would you give target, joe?
I don’t have a tan trench yet, is single breasted that terrible?
I placed an order on the 5th as a guest and have yet to receive a confirmation e-mail. Has anyone else received a confirmation e-mail or verification for their order?
Bought the New Trench (in Navy Blue) and the Hector vest. Trench has a Made in Turkey tag on it. The material and stitching is solid, especially at the one-day price I got it at. The overall quality is on par with J. Crew, maybe more-so. The cut looks good, especially with the belt cinched in the back.
I thought that the sizing would be tricky and, at first, mistakenly ordered the XXL thinking it would run small. I normally wear a size 46R sport coat. When I got the actual trench, it fit perfectly in the shoulders and chest but the sleeves will definitely need to be brought in. Maybe even narrowed, but I’m definitely not swimming in the coat. The European conversion (I know my size rain trench in EU 56 Burberry) fits perfectly and I’d recommend going with that size first.
The vest looks and feels very nice. The tag says made in China but the material says “Cotton Cashmere”.

I purchased a pair of the Summer Twill pant and unfortunately I have to return them as they have a very tapered cut from the knee down.
The pants from the knee down are just too tight around my calves.
Enough with the tapered cut!!!!!
The fabric weight is great.
The GO TO HELL red color is awesome, but the tapered leg. = (
I’m not a big guy at all so this modern slim fit crap I take it is for guys who have no muscular build at all.
For someone of my physique, 5’8″, 38S, 30″ waist, 150lbs; this modern slim fit tapered crap needs to stop.
Damn I really want some read
oops.. not “read”, but red… red pants.
