Macy’s One Day Sale
Picks – June 15 – 16, 2012
As always, it’s incredibly tough to peg when Macy’s will launch a One Day Sale. Sometimes a month and a half will go by between them, sometimes only a few weeks will pass. One thing is certain: These are usually sales worth paying attention to. The one-day sale prices are some of the best mark downs in the retail industry. Here’s some of the best from the One-Day-Sale which runs Fri. June 15 – Sat. June 16. Items marked with a * are “Web Busters.” In store prices may or may not match up. Selection on all items (especially shoes) in store can vary greatly.
.
Timex Intelligent Quartz Fly-back Chrono – $111.37 ($165)
An unusually good price on this particular model, especially when you consider it can be had at Macy’s. Macy’s just doesn’t usually have the lowest prices on watches, but this is extremely good for this Timex. Doesn’t have the same color scheme on the dial as the tan band version, but if you really want a tan band on there, it might look half-way decent. Ships free since it’s over $99.
INC Frankfort Linen/Cotton Blazer & Matching Pant – $129.98* ($179)
The all white linen suit isn’t the easiest thing to pull off, but if you live in an especially steamy climate, and you’ve got the confidence, why not? This is a new arrival, and hasn’t been seen in person yet. The price is awfully good, and INC has had some success in the past with cheap linen, but it’s not a sure thing. Ships free if you get the set.
Kenneth Cole Cap Toe Oxford – $110.99 ($198)
Keeping it in perspective: You could do a lot worse for $111 shipped. One of those shoe shapes you wish Kenneth Cole would make more of. Was pushing $200. More looks over at Kenneth Cole’s website.
Gold Toe Dress Socks 4-Pack – $9.99* ($20)
Bar III Extra Slim Fit Charcoal Suit Separates – $259.98 ($550)
Bar III is doing suit separates now huh? They’re a Macy’s house brand, but their cuts are the most modern and the quality seems to be close to if not the best of what they offer. So $260 seems like a good bet. Labeled as “Extra Slim”. Tons of sizes. Even 36R for those of you with slighter frames.
Florsheim Veblen Longwing – $94.99 ($170)
Macy’s might end up making a strong case for being the better of the two big sales that launched today. Veblen’s don’t drop this low. Three colors available, but despite the gray being labeled as “Suede”, the pics seem to show smooth leather?
Marc New York French Cuff Textured Dress Shirt – $42.99 ($79.50)
Here we go. The reasonable french-cuff slim fit shirt well had gone dry for awhile there. Has a bit of a texture to the fabric. Doesn’t say anything about it being a fabric blend. Lots of sizes.
Kenneth Cole New York Wool Tux – $239.99 ($695)
Ignore that almost $700 retail price tag. $240 seems pretty fair though. And KCNY jackets usually have less severe shoulders than Hilfiger Slim Fits, so if you want an inexpensive tux you can have tailored to your exact specs, then this might be a good one to go with. Notch lapel, and not the traditional peaks.
Puma Whirlwind Classic – $45.99($62)
For when you want to give your PF Flyers, Converse, or Superga a rest. Bit on the squishier side in the sole too.
The current Macy’s One Day Sale ends Saturday 6/16.
I believe I heard this on the radio correctly; Macy’s is doing a buy one Kenneth Cole suit you get 2 free. Crazy deal if it’s true.
Would have jumped on the Veblen’s if they sold them in the Wine color.
I cant decide between

and the Veblen. The Veblen are much much cheaper though. Can some one give me some perspective on both these shoes.
The Veblens are more versatile, but the Players are more badass. I would get the Players if you can afford them; they are much better built.
Climate, not client in the paragraph about the blazer
That Bar III suit is awfully tempting. Anyone here know just how slim it really fits? BR Tailored “very slim,” or more like H&M/Zara ultra skinny?
Weird, Dappered ate my comment…
Would the linen jacket work with a darker denim? Or maybe one of these colors?

“in an especially steamy client” …………huh huh huh uh
Second vote for the AE’s if you have the cash. Nothing against Floreshiem, they make a quality product but I think the AE’s are a notch above.
I’ve got that suit in light grey, and it does fit quite slim. I haven’t tailord mine at all. That said, you may want to size up on the pant waist because they run pretty tight.
I have a 31 waist in most stuff, like J.Crew (including the urban slim fit line). Do you think I would need to size up to a 32?
Definitely. I did. I may have even gone to a 33.
…you could live in a steamy client, just depends I guess.
Not a big fan cheap tuxes in general, especially those with glaring shortcomings like notched lapels. If you’re strutting black-tie events often enough that you need to own a tux, then you owe it to your dignity to buy a proper one.
Kenneth Cole “Reaction”. :/
I thought I was thin until I tried on a Bar III suit. Very slim. I wish they were separates.
The Extra Slims are even more slim than their standard Slim Fits. I tried them on this past weekend. I’m normally a 38R. J Crew Ludlow fit fits me perfectly off the rack. I could not even get my arm in one of the Bar III Extra Slim 38Rs. It was that tight. So I guess more like the Zara Ultra skinny.
I was at nordstrom today, and the Player’s stood out so much i went over just to give ’em a look. Theyre classy and sturdy, and probably wont go out of style any time soon [im not generally a fan of the contrasting sole on the Veblens, though, so im biased] also recrafting???
suit does fit very slim, that said, I was true to size in the jacket (38R) but had to size up in the pants to a 32 (usually i’m a 30 or 31).
Well I went with the Veblens instead of the AE. Hope I don’t live to regret it. I might swing by Nordys just to have a look at em. Who knows? Nothing wrong with owning both. Just means I gotta work more overtime!
Can you buy it on their website? I saw this as well.. I can’t find it anywhere
I bought a Bar III suit about 2 months ago, fits extremely well and is of good quality, I only had to get the pants hemmed. This is an excellent deal at $260
Annnnnnnnnnnd fixed!
The Veblens are awesome shoes, you won’t regret the purchase. If they had them in wide width, I would buy a another pair at this price.
KS4GRL gets you 10% off your entire purchase. Enjoy
I was there Thursday and tried it on, very close fitting.
XJW562A992 gets you $10 off orders over $75
The Bar III slim dress shirts are the same way – SLIM FIT. They also have a narrow collar.
