20% off Loehmanns.com w/ code PRIV2012
UPDATE: Looks like the code is netting free shipping for some? Here’s to hoping that keeps up…
Brace yourself for a(nother) convoluted retail to sports simile. Triple-A ball is like Nordstrom Rack and Neimann Marcus Last Call. AA would be stores like Marshalls, TJ Maxx, Ross Dress for Less, and also… Loehmann’s.
Loehmann’s is only in 12 states, their website can be a little clunky, but they run extra % off sale codes with some regularity. This one, PRIV2012 gets you an extra 20% off. Shipping is a flat $6.99. Time to dig:
.
Life After Denim Coated Cotton Windbreaker – $19.99
($138)
Twenty bucks? Sure. Cotton with some kind of coated finish on it to hopefully keep water and wind at bay. Better looking than a cheap nylon windbreaker for sure. Nice Harrington style collar and white zippers.
UPDATE: Annnnd, these are just about gone. Almost all sizes were available. They went quick…
Life after Denim Red Flat Front Slim Chinos – $15.99
($78)
Red pants that aren’t RED pants. They certainly stand out, but they’re not some nuclear neo. Bright, but deeper. And if you’re going to experiment with the bright pants thing, might as well only spend $16.
Original Penguin Shoulder Stripe Pocket Polo – $31.99 ($69)
A warning on these. They’re nice, but personal experience from this side has shown that they’re a bit touchy when it comes to the dryer. Mine shrank up about an inch and a half or two inches, making it wearable, but barely. So know that. Great if you’re a shorter guy though. Still a little steep at $32 plus shipping.
Calvin Klein 3-Pack Briefs – $13.59
($27.50)
There’s been a rash of underwear companies switching from exact waist sizes, to a too bulky, diaperish Small, Medium, Large, XL size strategy. And like most things that involve “rash” and “underwear”… that’s not good. These come in exact sizes, and three for fourteen bucks (plus shipping?) isn’t a bad deal at all.
Life After Denim SSBU – $15.99 ($64) | Penguin SSBU – $27.99 ($69)
Short Sleeve Button Ups (SSBUs) aren’t for everyone. But they’re trying to make a comeback. More on these tomorrow, but what you want, is something that fits close and doesn’t drop too low. These seem to fit the bill.
Hilfiger Slim Tie – $15.99 | Calvin Klein Slim Plaid Tie – $15.99
Slim? Or skinny? Their site doesn’t give a width. That’s not a recipe for selling a lot of neck-wear, since the width of a tie is kinda key, and most guys have a personal preference. These look real slim leaning skinny. A call to customer service went nowhere, since the rep said they don’t have access to measurements or the products themselves. Pass.
Ossington Bank Weave Holdall – $111.99 ($279)
Probably not for you since it looks so lady-like, but what about for the lady you like? Maybe with a pair of tickets to a not too far away city that you can head to for a long weekend? Or maybe a single ticket for her to go visit a friend she hasn’t seen in forever…

I believe if you sign up to be a Red Card Member shipping is free under the $100.00 limit. I make no guarantees on that however.
I only ordered the tie, but my shipping was free. No explanation why.
Same thing with me, I made an order of 30-40 and got free shipping. Then I saw that during my checkout process, someone snagged the size 30 underwear and my order went through without notifying me. So I went back and ordered the size 32 in a separate order and again, no tax no shipping. That dappered effect going off at 5 in the morning
“Domestic US shipping only” – saves me a fortune now that the exchange rate has moved against me, but I despair for your economy!
I think the free shipping is clubbed with the 20% discount when you use the promo code.
the code gets you free shipping apparently. almost pulled the trigger on the windbreaker but i’m already over my budget haha.
Re: underwear sizing, it sucks sometimes to be a 31 waist. I’m forced to either wear a garment designed to accommodate up to a 34 waist (M 32-34), or one which “fits” all the way down to a 28 waist (S 28-30)!
Anyone have any idea on sizing? A quick search only nets complaints that they DON’T offer sizing. They only have “large” on the windbreaker, and I don’t want to be swimming in it. After some digging I saw some random Life after Denim jacket in large is a 42 chest…
I love the fact that you included an emotipenis, Joe. That was surprising on this Monday morning.
Anyone have any experience with Life After Denim products?
I can’t access this link on my computer, so not sure if it works, but this is the sizing guide I used when I bought a similar jacket. I’m a small at Banana and the small for Life After Denim fit perfectly.

stinky,, wanted to pull a 26 dollar risk on that windbreaker, but the second time i checked, only an XXL left…:(
Thanks!
The short-sleeve button-up is much debated? By whom? Steampunk cosplayers?
WOW that windbreaker went fast. That discount was unbelievable, so I was going to order it immediately without thinking, but… Ugh.
windbreakers out unless you’re a big guy. pants out
I bought their waxed cotton field jacket a few weeks back and it’s my favorite jacket ever.
Use promo code 20BONUS412 for $20 off $60, but no free shipping.

They ain’t my cup of tea either, but that’s not to say they aren’t attempting a comeback.
Don’t worry, Rob! We look great against the euro!
Need to work this out with online stores.
“Hi, my name is Joe, and I’m going to feature you on my website, and you will sell out of everything I link to.”
FYI, the Calvin Klein Slim Tie’s are 2 3/4 inches in width.
Is anyone else getting this response when trying to apply the code?
“We’re sorry, the code you have entered is invalid. Please check the spelling of the code and the expiration date.”
Thanks!
If you are on the west coast, the code expired about 45 minutes before you posted here.
