Sales that deserve some attention when heading into the weekend. Might not be some massive once a year event, but still worth a look. Those are what make up the Friday Handful. Expect these things when necessary. Five of the better sales, one for each finger, are below. Included are a few picks worth pointing out.
.
Banana Republic: 50% off up to 5 full price items in store… IF you got the invite
The Picks: Italian Wool Glenplaid Suit – $267.50 ($535) | Hyde Oxford – $70.00 ($140)
Check your inboxes. Banana Republic sent out an email to their “Luxe” Credit Card members (one step up from the regular credit card) with single user codes. No blanket code or anything like that. They’re good for 50% off up to 5 full price items in store, or 30% off online. Store selection can vary greatly. For example, plenty of stores don’t carry shoes. And then there’s what sizes are available. For those that didn’t get the invite, they are offering 25% off with the code BRLIKE through 8/26.
Allen Edmonds: Summer Clearance Sale
The Picks: Lubbock Monk – $199.00 ($295) | Pencil Horsehair Dauber – $1.00 ($2)
Two things of note: 1. AEs don’t dip under $200 that often. And while they’re not universally loved, the rougher, more casual Lubbock monk strap from Allen Edmonds does have its fans. 2. Allen Edmonds provides free shipping no minimum. So, if you need a couple more daubers for your shoe shine arsenal, two bucks shipped for a pair ain’t bad.
L.L. Bean Signature: Late Summer Sale
The Pick: Cotton Wool Commando Sweater – $64.99 ($79)
Been awhile since L.L. Bean Signature got a mention. There’s just not a ton of variety with them right now, but they’ve added a few more items to their sale section. The sweater is 80% cotton with 20% wool mixed in. Great looking in Navy. Might want to check a local army/navy surplus store first for something similar
.
Ralph Lauren: Extra 25% off sale & free shipping w/ RLSUM25
The Pick: Hayward Suede Driver – $171.75 ($395)
The Perfect shoe if you’re a sucker for grey, suede, and drivers. And as long as you’ve got a decent sized stack of cash on hand, since $172 is no small fee to pay for a pair of loafers. The RL site has been picked over pretty good, so hunting and pecking might be a wild goose chase. The free shipping no minimum thing is awfully nice though. A few more sizes and colors in the same price range (mostly) over at Amazon
Beyond the Rack: “Top Watch Brands”
Oh look. Now it’s only forty seven hundred dollars. Well that’s just mighty fine.
Went to BR yesterday and was told I could score the 50% deal if i Opened their ccard. Not sure if that is offered everywhere.
If these AE sales keep coming, I might as well deposit shoes at the bank instead of checks.
Figures. I didn’t get the 50% off email. If anyone doesn’t want heirs, I’ll gladly take it.
I’m guessing Jesse is kicking himself for getting Mr. White the tag before it went on sale
Shhhh . . . I’m near the end of season 4 so I haven’t seen that yet.
Virgin airlines rewards members received a 50% off in store coupon via email too. I would’ve posted it if it wasn’t one use only with its own unique barcode. But if I decide not to get anything this weekend, I’ll post it in the Threads
If any of you needed the 50% off friends and family coupon, just send a email to LightningRift@gmail.com. I’ll check that email every couple hours today and I’ll add you to my list. I have approximately 15 more people I can send it to.
Just sent you an email. Thanks man.
In as well, thanks.
That’s common, when I worked there, they told us to extend deals like this, while they were going on, just to open a credit card.
Sorry to whoever didn’t get a reply from me, sent all of my invites out already. I’ll send them out again the next time a F&F happens.
Have a nice weekend
I think the Virgin America coupon was for 40%, wasn’t it?
oops, you’re right. I’m really trying to turn away from buying more clothes and save up for an apartment instead so I might just give it away
I called a single BR location and they told me the coupon isn’t available for people who want to apply for the card on the spot :(. Also. it’s “single use” only, so up to 5 items in one go.
If anyone has an extra coupon they could spare, I desperately need my first suit for a wedding next month. I can get nice iphone and ipad cases for free if you want to trade!
Thanks for the code AH. I was able to get a Tailored suit for $227 and a Monogram collection suit for $337. I got 50% with the friends and family and since I had just opened a BR card earlier this month, I got another 10% off on top of that. What an amazing deal considering that the monogram stuff is always excluded from every other sale.
How does the LL Bean sweater fit? I always seem to have a problem with sweaters being too short in the sleeves.
How’s the fit on the LL Bean sweater? I have trouble with the sleeve length of sweaters being too short.
Tag watches are for people that know know nothing about watches
