Every so often a weekend comes along where there’s a decent batch 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.
.

Huckberry: Made in the USA Chicago Belt Co.
Great Lakes, Chicago Flag, "Summer Sky"

The Pick: Great Lakes Green/Navy Belt – $29.00 ($45)

The ribbon/web/grosgrain/bright summer belt thing is everywhere, and might even be on the verge of over saturating itself.  But when something is as genuine as this, it’s immune from suffering played-out-trend-fizzle.  Made in the USA and comes in a few patterns.  Two use the Chicago flag, a couple celebrate the great lakes as a whole,  and if you have no connection to that water saturated part of the upper Midwest (shout-out to anyone who learned to water ski on a glacier created lake surrounded by drumlins) there’s a standard light blue seersucker.  10% of proceeds from The Great Lakes belts go to Chicago’s massive Shedd Aquarium and their “Keep The Lakes Great” program.

 

Bonobos: 25% off outerwear with JACKET25
Poly/Cotton blend field jackets to keep the weather out.

The Pick:  Penfield Walpole Hudson Wax Cloth Field Jacket – $127.50 ($170)

Holy crap.  A substantial code from Bonobos?  It’s only good on outerwear, but still.  Not a ton to choose from, but a couple of better looking windbreakers, some single breasted macs, and these.  JACKET25 Code expires today (5/18/12) at 11.59pm ET.  Update:  Credit to Senor Boeuf who pointed out in the comments that the code works on sale outerwear too.  So, might be worth a look.  Also, anyone else notice that Bonobos now has changed their site so you can see what sizes are available without futzing around with a drop down menu?  Excellent. 

 

LastCall.com: Extra 30% off Sale
Made in America basics.

The Pick: Made in the USA Walk-Over Derby in “natural” or “gaucho” – $139.30 ($269)

LastCall is doing another 30% off your entire purchase sale.  There are exclusions like sunglasses and fragrance, but there are a few new items worth a look.  Also, code LC75MAY gets you free shipping on orders of $75 and up.  Looks like the darker “gaucho” color is actually leather?  Maybe?  More pics of these shoes over at Zappos.

 

Lands’ End Canvas:  $25 select shirts & pants sale
Free shipping no min w/ INTHESWIM and 2767

The Pick: Heritage Oxford Shirt in White or Blue – $25.00 ($50)

Most of their shirts run $50, most of their pants run $60, so this is basically an at least half off select items sale.  Was a bit of a surprise that they included their liked by many oxfords in the most popular colors of light blue and white.  Credit to Ish as well as a bunch of others for sending in the style tip on this one.  Code INTHESWIM and pin 2767 is working for free shipping no minimum.  UPDATE:  The code MONEY and Pin 2030 takes 20% off sale items, plus gets you free shipping at $50.  So that means if you’re going to buy two of these, that’ll equal $50, get you the free shipping, and the 20% off drops the price even further.  Two for $40 shipped pre-tax.  Credit Jon for the extra nice catch.

 

Bluefly “Must-Haves under $100”
Studless. But just the shirt.

The Pick: Alara Covered Placket Tux Shirt – $59.00 ($90.50)

There are three placket choices you can go with when wearing a tux.  The first is just a regular button down dress shirt front, which traditionalists frown on (but, they’re traditionalists, so…).  The second is a standard tux shirt with studs, which to many looks a little too rental-tux.  The third is the cleanest: a covered placket.  It’s what Daniel Craig wore in Casino Royale.  This one claims to have a “covered pearlescent button front.”  Who knows how shined up that pearlescent front is, but as long as it doesn’t get too nuts, this is a great price for a specialty shirt like this.  Also: Abboud Handkerchief sets for $15, and these cotton suit separates have potential.

Also worth a mention:  10% off at U.O. with SPRINGIT,  Express $10 off $30 / $25 off $75 with code 1380.  Fossil is doing free overnight shipping from 5/20 – 26 with the code DSL2012.
