Pop quiz fellas:
What was the last style related item you paid full price for?
A new shirt, suit, pair of shoes… whatever. Tailoring doesn’t count (it’s not like your tailor has a “clearance sale” on their services.) Neither does getting treated to a buyback from your favorite local watering hole.

There are brands that don’t run codes or sales that often, but hardly any never do. So do you always wait for a sale or a code? Or do you pay full price on occasion?
To the comments. When was the last time you paid full price, and what was it for?
Boots, shirts, & sweaters. Merino blend pants. And yes, lots of jackets... waxed, quilted, etc.
$24 chinos & OCBDs, $32 jeans, $38 mac jackets... In praise of the simple by…
Merino-blend quarter zips under $30, dress chronos under $150, and a rare discount on Crown…
Restocked and re-running through Tuesday. 4 style scenarios mined from their end-of-season clearance blowout.
Wool, down, moleskin, and wicking base layers. Done with what style the weather may (possibly)…
The blizzard of winter clearance events continues.
