Take 30% off Bonobos
sale with code FIRSTMATE or SALEBOAT
*Looks like their email list got the “FIRSTMATE” code, while “SALEBOAT” is being lightly promoted on their website. Codes expire 7/27. Maybe they threw two out there for tracking purposes?
A week after Bonobos tried to thin the herd of summer sale items with a 20% off for Facebook Fans offer, they’ve now opened it up to everybody with an extra 30% off items in their sale section. Use the code FIRSTMATE or SALEBOAT to get the discount. Been awhile since Bonobos ran a sale like this. It’s these extra % off sales that get their otherwise expensive stuff down to a price range that’s affordable for almost everyone. Remember when they were perpetually running codes and/or Groupons? Right. Those days are long gone.
Some decent sizes on some good items left too. And being that this is Bonobos, stuff tends to go real fast (thus the “breaking news” title). Items below have at least a somewhat decent size range. For now.
.
Game Day Chinos in Grey – $40.60 ($88)
Heavier, more durable feeling cotton than the washed chinos, in a hugely versatile wear it all year (yes even in Winter) pale grey. Terrific price. Sizes are a bit all over the place, but remember you can try to get them hemmed if you’re a size off on the inseam.
Little Pantchovies Chambray Shorts – $38.50 ($88)
There are but a few rules worth living by. #1. Never stop jug blowin‘ in the middle of a hoedown, and #2. Never pay full price for shorts with fish on them*. But when a summer has been this hot, and your two or three pairs you have in rotation are getting awfully boring, maybe these would be a wildcard worth throwing in the mix. *And yes, fully understand many of you subscribe to life rule #3. Never by shorts with fish on them. Or any clothing for that matter.
Bonobos Blue Seersucker Suit Jacket & Matching Pant – $186.20 ($408)
The Derby might be a distant memory (remember how “I’ll have another“… didn’t?) but if you’ve been looking to get a seersucker suit for the rest of this summer and future summers, you’d be hard pressed to find a better traditional blue seersucker suit than this for under $200. Unfortunate that sizes are in real short supply for the grey version.
High Tides 5″ Swim Trunk – $25.20 ($65)
Incredible price for a pair of really good looking swimtrunks. Just really hard to pull off if you’re super pale. But they’ve got lots of other trunks on sale right now.
The Handover Rugby in Navy or Green – $33.60 ($92)
Nothing kills a good rugby shirt like a gigantic obnoxious logo, a too bulky fit, or both. Comes in Bonobos sizing, so like their button up shirts these should be far from enormous but not super tight either. Great price, free shipping/returns, etc… Major hoodie upgrade.
The Ties: Personality Wool/Cashmere Stripe | Earnest Alexander Pinstripe – $52.50 ($150)
For the guys who wear ties a lot, and appreciate a really well made tie. Personality Milano ties are excellent. Made in Italy from 60% wool and 40% cashmere. The Earnest Alexander Pinstripe is made in the USA from wool & silk.
Grenson Suede Wingtip – $187.95 ($358)
Grenson has a decent rep. And they better for a retail price of $358. Killer looking pair of out of the norm shoes, but still a neutral color with the usual darker brown sole. No funny business here. Just under $190 seems fair. A warning: limited sizes left, and word is they run big. Big enough that Bonobos suggests you order a FULL size down.
Tretorn Skymra SL canvas – $33.60 ($70)
Looks to be a pretty basic, slim, canvas sneaker from this side of the computer monitor. Description says they’re “blue” which, well, they sure don’t look to be. But hey, Ninja service if they goof it.
Timberland Suede Boat Chukka – $49.00 ($100)
Like a desert boot, only with boat shoe details. So imagine you’re in the middle of a desert, and there’s a dock with some boats tied up to it. You’d naturally slip these on…. and then probably mistake that can of motor oil recently tossed your way for a Tecate, since you’re experiencing one hell of a hallucinogenic mirage situation at that moment. Right? At least your feet will look good.
Will Leather Goods Small Classic Carry All in tan or navy – $39.38 ($75)
Sometimes you just don’t have enough arm space. Good for getting your lunch and other crap into work without fumbling down the block with it. Or, a quick trip to the grocery store bag. 19″x14″x2.4″.
Woolrich 100% cotton waterproof parka – $124.60 ($295)
TRUST THE GORRRRRTON’S FISHHERRRRMANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
The Bonobos Extra 30% off Sale FIRSTMATE and SALEBOAT expire Friday 7/27/12.
I had picked up those Game Day Chinos within 15 minutes of getting the email from Bonobos. Picked up a pair in Charcoal too.
Damn I ordered 2 days ago with my 30% Klout code. Problem is it limited the discount to the first $250 spent so the suit and the Grenson shoes both would have been like $20 more. I opted for 3 shirts and a set of wurkin stiffs instead.
It’s unbelievable that Bonobos still charges $70+ for shipping to Canada.
Just awful.
Apparently the Game Day’s run real small. I went up from a normal 32×30 to a 34×30 based on reviews. Hopefully that works out.
How do people think
http://www.bonobos.com/charcoal-novelty-suit-blazer would work as a blazer? Because the price certainly is right…
Got a pair of Filson Beacon for $50 and used my referral credit. FREE SHOOS!!
The code doesnt work for me. Is it still valid?
If you ask them nicely, they will lower the fees.
SALEBOAT still works. Remember, it’s only for SALE items, not all items.
Dang, ordering is down right now.. love their site interstitial..
does anyone know about the woolrich parka? will it actually hold up in rain?
Swim trunks: Do they run true to size? I’m between a 33-36 depending on manufacturer. Can anyone give me a hand here?
And I’ll be that guy. Any first time buyers gets $25 off $100+ orders with this referral http://bono.bs/x/yN4iV
I think it looks too dressy for a Blazer. Just my two cents.
Anyone know how the cord’s fit?
@a805ef397c1e8191ab66f1839b520143:disqus I’ve had the opposite experience with the game day’s, I have a 35X32 in regular chino’s which still fit me well, but I am going to send back a pair of game day’s in that size i just bought with the 20% off and try them at 34…
Hi,
I have a pair of the low tides, just ordered a second of them. Size 32 fits almost exactly the same as their pants, at most a tad looser.
As soon as I saw the code yesterday I tried for the blue seersucker suit but alas they were already out of my size in the pants. Quite the tragedy.
Anyone know where I might be able to find a similar pair of light summery dress pants? (not for the jacket= I need it for a semi-formal hot weather wedding)
I agree with JB — too dark of a color to really be good as a sportcoat.
Dang missed the Navy rugby in my size
If anyone wants here is a $25 off code when you buy $75 or more, maybe you can combine it with the FIRSTMATE / SALEBOAT code to snag a sweet deal. 😀
Just bought the khaki high tides- hoping they fare better than the LEC 5” clean board shorts did. Not just one, but two pairs (after calling customer service and ordering a replacement) came apart at the back seam, the second pair after only one wearing. Loved the look, disappointed in the quality. First bad experience with LEC. Thankfully they claim to accept returns for full refund at any time.
Picked up the grey seersucker pants. Had to go a size down from my usual on the waist, but my experience with Bonobos pants indicates that I should do that anyway.
Can you stack a discount code with a referral link?
Boots are already out of 9 & 9.5. Sigh…
As far as I can tell, you can’t combine that with the FIRSTMATE/SALEBOAT code.
Well, it’s not like you need anything besides parkas up there. And if it gets too cold, you could always cut open a tauntaun.
I like antchovies on my pizza, not on my pants.
I just got a pair of the Turqs. They fit amazingly. They’re as soft & flexible as sweat pants, but look great. The waist is a little big, but not enough to size down.
