40% off BR Sale items
with code BRSTARS (exp 7/4)
Apparently the guys in the Banana Republic warehouse(s) are awfully sick of looking at this stuff from last season. 40% off with the code BRSTARS knocks a big chunk off already marked down items, and that additional percentage leaves a boatload of stuff now more than half off retail.
It’s clearance, so while there’s a lot of items, sizes are all over the place. As always, picks with at least a good size variety at post time only appear below…
.
Tailored Plaid Suit Jacket & Matching Pant – $245.99 ($535)
Not a bad price, at all, for a suit in a pattern that won’t be the foundation of your wardrobe. Comes in the closer, tailored fit, and the quality on these is much better than other suits in the mid $200s. Sold as separates, which is great if you’re not a standard jacket to pant ratio. Pant sizes are starting to move quickly.
Banana Republic Cotton/Nylon Khaki Trench – $77.99 ($198)
Sure it’s summer and no one is thinking about outerwear. But you’re not going to find a better classic trench than this for $78. There is a little extra room in the chest/waist area, but that’s just fine if you’ll be wearing it over suits. Plus, there’s always the tailor if you want it slimmed, but that’ll be an investment. Cotton/nylon blend is terrific and will keep the rain from soaking in. Full review here.
Soft Wash Slim Fit Plaid Shirt – $28.79
($64.50)
Now under $30 and first got considered on Monday. Might be the time to bite.
Slub Stripe Polo – $22.79 ($44.50)
Has potential for sure. From the reviews it looks like you’ll have to size down, which is consistent with the polo fit on their luxe-touch polos. A warning: One online reviewer was particularly disappointed, which generated this opening lead to his review: “These are not the polos you are looking for.” Give that man an extra ride on the tauntaun. Bravo.
Silk Cotton Cashmere V in Grey and Orange – $29.99 ($69.50)
There’s a few more colors on sale, but these are going to be the most versatile and come in the widest range of sizes. Best sweater material out there. Just wish the V didn’t dip so low. And no, they don’t fit that trim… there’s some sort of chip-clip magic going on behind the models back. More thoughts on orange over here.
The Sad Lonely Pants: BR Tailored Wool/Linen Suit Pants – $59.99 ($130)
Why. Why are there JUST the pants left? There are tons of sizes available in the pants. But only size 48 left in the jacket? If they had any jackets left, this would have landed at $186 with the code, and that would have been incredible. But it’s not.
The 40% off Banana Republic sale items code BRSTARS expires on Wednesday 7/4/12
hmm, when doesn’t BR run a sale promotion? It seems like there’s always some sort of promotion (be it 20%, 30% or sometimes 40%) every day online for as long as I remember.
They’re pretty much a perpetual sale store.
Yet I still can’t find anything worth buying 🙁
Size (approximation) (for your size Joe) for the “slim fit” Banana shirts? S/M?
Thanks!
why are the sleeves so long on BR clothing? are they targeting people with really long arms?
Man, stuff is moving so fast, it’s hard to find mediums!
The first suit is sold as separates. The blazer is $289.99 and the pants are $119.99. Unfortunately, the suit does not come out to only $245. It comes out to $410. I thought it would apply an additional 40% off at checkout, but it doesn’t.
The sad lonely pants look like they’re about to bust open at the crotch.
Actually, it went through after I refreshed the page. My apologies everyone. It rings true.
I just wish their shirts were measured and not S/M/L. Too much variance in that.
Seems like the code doesn’t work for Canada. Sad.
Then on the Canadian page, it’s $180 flat.
Lastly, if I try to purchase from the US site shipping to Canada, I can’t use the code.
Oh Canada, why are you always forsaken for great deals.
Big thighs and ninja kicks my man. They were just fine.
I usually wear a medium in their slim fit shirts, smalls in most of their polos.
Is anyone else having the issue that the 40% off won’t work for the sweaters? If it’s the only item in my cart it won’t apply and when I add in more items the other ones get the discount but not the sweater.
Hmm I cant get it to work either. Not paying $50 for that…
Joe what do you think of BR’s new “tailored slim” line?
Yeah and sadly they just sold out of smalls anyway. Too bad- i’ve been looking for a nice orange sweater for a while.
That trench looks great. However, the images on BRs site do not reflect the hook/tab closure in your image posted above.
Thanks Joe!
Had these in my cart and the code doesn’t work for me either.
Guys, help, I can’t feel my legs.
Public Service Announcement: The code BRSTARS does not work on all items, only tje red clearance items- not the blue “special offer” ones (according to customer service).Annoying pricing games notwithstanding, I’m not getting the shirt now.
I just tested it out and it worked fine for me?
Someone brought that up before, but I believe a BR employee rep said somewhere in here that it is the same trench. Beats me. Over aggressive photoshop intern?
Tailored Slim? Haven’t tried anything in that quite yet that I can think of. Their tailored suits/blazers/etc… yes, tailored slim, not quite yet. Don’t know if I could fit in that stuff though. I’ve got some bulk to me in some places that doesn’t play nice with super slim stuff.
Anytime Ray.
Thank you, sir.
My pleasure. Hope it’s the same coat! I’ve seen it numerous times in store, and they seem to have that collar hook/tab deal.
I have one of the tailored slim dress shirts. It has darts in the back, which was kind of a “wtf” moment for me. Why don’t they just design the shirt slimmer instead of adding darts? That’s for a tailor to do after you buy it if it’s not slim enough. I’m 6’2″, 180lbs, 41 chest, 31 waist and I needed the medium to be taken in about 4 inches at the sides so it’s still not super slim.
I am very much on the fence about the trench coat. Tried one on in store and due to the nylon, it made too loud of the “whoosh, whoosh” noise as I moved around a bit. Perhaps I am being too picky?
To those who have tried on/purchased the trench coat, what are your experiences with the fit? I tried one on last weekend in store that was a large, and the sleeves just seemed comically long for me. I’m 5’10” about 180 lbs with a pretty strong frame but for the life of me it felt like I was swimming in the thing. Additionally, I guess just overall it felt way too big. It was literally the only trench in the store so there weren’t any mediums to try on for comparison. Could a tailor bring up the sleeves if need be? Thanks!
Apparently the coupon code doesn’t work for Yanks either. Thoroughly disappointed with BRs bullsit bait and switch. This has happened before with these idiots.
