LastCall.com sales usually work like this:  30% off the entire site, or 40% off one item.  There are exceptions, and this appears to be one of those.  And it certainly seems to be a pretty good one.  Here’s what they’re doing through today, 10/31:

  • 50% off sweaters, cashmere, cold weather accessories, coats, and other select items
  • 40% off Men’s items, shoes, and other select categories
  • 30% off sunglasses and the rest of their site.

Looks like these all get 10% less enticing starting tomorrow, 11/1.  New stock has come in too, and there’s a few doozies…
.

The Splurge?  Giorgio Armani Navy Herringbone Suit – $597.00 ($1950)
$600 for a $2000 suit?

Leading with a splurge because it’s a big fat “Hm”.  Six hundred dollars is no small amount, but Giorgio Armani is no small thing either.  A new arrival, tons of sizes, and “retail” is pushing two grand.  Herringbone pattern that’s small/subtle enough that it’s not showing in the online pics (which can often be misleading).  Button stance looks a little high, but nothing extreme.  Thoughts on this one guys?  There are plenty of brands under the Armani umbrella, but if these are true Giorgio Armani suits, then this could be worth a good hard look if you have that kind of cash.

 

The Splurge Part II?  Giorgio Armani Grey Pinstripe Suit – $597.00 ($1950)
Light grey pinstripe would do nicely.

DOUBLE Hm.

 

Handant Lace-up or Magnanni Suede Monk – $179.40 (was $299)
Limited sizes available for the monks.

Lucky you if you’re a 10.5 or 11 and you’ve been holding out on the suede monks (those are the only two sizes left at post time).  Many more sizes left in the Handant Lace-up.  Both made in Spain, and there is a wingtip with a few sizes left too.

 

Neiman Marcus Shave kit bag in Brown or Navy – $27.00 ($125)
For the traveler on your list.

$125 is awfully steep for a shave kit, but the extra 40% off the sale price of $45 drops these shave kits to a real nice Christmas-list friendly $27.  Ballistic nylon with croc embossed leather at the corners.

 

Neiman Marcus Trim Fit Wrinkle Free Dress Shirt – $33.00 ($89.50)
Feel free to wear with jeans and a cotton blazer.

Word is these shirts are pretty high quality for the price.  Perfect light blue check and a nice sized collar.  Lots of sizes available too.  One of the new arrivals.

 

Neiman Marcus Cashmere V-Neck or Crewneck Sweater – $77.50 ($255)
Once again, cheap cashmere is no sure thing.

Anyone have first hand experience with Neiman Marcus cashmere?  Fair to assume it’ll wear and resist piling at least a little better than most other inexpensive cashmere out there?  These are a “LC exclusive” so you’ve got to wonder if they’d be up to the same par as normal Neiman Marcus house brand cashmere.  Leave it all in the comments.  Now an extra 50% off due to their cold weather / cashmere discounts.

 

Burberry Military Watches in Brown or Black – $207.00 ($395)
Yes they’re quartz.

No, they obviously don’t have the same under-the-hood appeal as the now sold out Maratac Pilot watch.  Some would argue they’re not as good looking up top either.  Some would disagree.  Sapphire crystal, quartz, and made in Switzerland.  (The chronograph, but just in black, is available for about $40 more)

 

Hugo Boss Mitar Loafer – $119.40 | Mitano Lace-up – $117.00
Nothing wrong with inexpensive simplicity.

Both pretty plain, pretty inexpensive, and pretty good looking for the price.  You could do a lot, lot worse in the low $100s.  The descriptions say “square toe” but they seem to come to a nice rounded off edge chisel if anything.

 

Hugo Boss Mitarro Single Monk – $143.40 ($295)
Was just going for $167.

Only available in black.  Only if they offered them in brown…

 

Amicale Burgundy Check Cashmere Scarf – $49.00 ($198)
Cold weather color

All of their cashmere and cold-weather gear is an extra 50% off.  That discount puts this classic patterned (but far from dusty) scarf sqaure in the splurge bulls-eye for many of us.

 

Ombre Stripe Wool Scarf – $45.00 ($125)
No finger wagging necessary.

Color-blocking like baby Mutombo at a crayon throwing contest.  Not on my carpet square.

 

Grandoe Sheepskin Gloves in Copper/Black – $45.00 ($125)
For the blue coat?

Not a bad price for a pair of sheepskin gloves.  Wool/nylon/cashmere lined.  Has the standard three lines on the top of the glove, but they mix it up with black accents on those lines and at the wrist.  Black & Tan = nice work.  Also 50% off.

 

Gitman Wool Ties – $29.00 ($95)
Made in the USA

First mentioned over here and now under $30.  2.75″ in width so they’re slim but not razor thin.  Wool and made in the USA.

 

French Cuff Pinpoint Dress Shirt – $33.00 ($88)
Might require a trip to the tailor.

It doesn’t say whether it’s a slim or traditional fit, but even if it is, at this price some extra tailoring costs would still leave you with a relatively affordable french-cuff non-iron.

 

Sebago Tremont Boot – $64.50 ($165)
One of the “50% off select items”… items.

Now an extra 50% off but only available in black.  Has a super-grippy outsole.

 

Bruno Magli Nubuck Penny Loafer – $179.40 ($395)
Great looking shape. Interesting combination of material & color.

Black pebbled nubuck penny loafers?  Not for everyone, that’s for sure.  Made in Italy, and could probably be a go-to for many in a casual shoe lineup.

The Extra 30 – 50% off LastCall.com prices end today, 10/31/12.  Free shipping on any order with code FRSHIP as long as you’ve signed up for their emails.

    The shirts are really nice. I got two of them for $15 each when Lastcall had that 40% off coupon stacking with the $25 off $50 a few weeks ago. Very much feels like an expensive shirt, even if it is not

    Dang, they don’t have the monks in a 9.5.

  3. Ben says

    Echo Toby’s comment. These are high quality shirts; good fabric, nice weight, strong stitching, thick buttons. The shirts are a little less fitted than a Nordstrom Trim Fit, but still not half bad. Great value for the price.

  4. Alan Skinner says

    +1 on the shirts. They always have a HUGE selection in a variety of styles and cuts. Looser weaves may shrink in the arms, but otherwise I really like the NM shirts. Keep in mind that the white shirts in thinner weaves like the pinpoint above will be a little translucent. Thicker weaves like herringbone will be less so. You can either pick a colored shirt or a thicker weave to side-step the issue.

    As for the Armani suits, I’m skeptical. I can’t prove it, but I expect that they’re half-canvassed. I suppose that’s not a bad thing, but if you’re going to pay that much, there are places where you can get one fully canvassed. I think you’re paying for the name, here. If you actually go to a Last Call store and check their racks, you may find a high-end Armani worth a damn, but their mass retail stuff that they carry on the website is likey NOT that. (The same has already been proven with their Hickey Freeman suits. The good stuff is only available in-store. I’m basing my Armani analysis on that observation.)

    The gloves are actually my top pick from this whole list. I was already looking at getting a pair and the copper are near the top of the list. However, LC is offering many different styles including some that are rabbit-lined and some that allow your to use a touchscreen phone without taking your gloves off. So it’s a hard decision.

    Also, the Gitman ties are a fantastic buy. Those things can retail for close to $100 and they’re made in the USA. I can’t say enoguh good things about them. The navy is the safe bet, but ketchup and mustard are funky in a good way. I recently picked up a grey corduroy Gitman tie at LC (in-store), and I really like it.

    I have the crew neck sweater. It started to pill after just a few wears. Lots of compliments on it though and it fit well.

  6. Alan Skinner says

    October 31, 2012 at 7:51 AM

    Also, I have yet to buy anything by Hugo Boss because I’ve seen their stuff in-store and I haven’t been impressed. They charge $700 for a fused suit or $200+ for a pair of rubber-soled dress shoes (pre-sale price). Maybe I’m not giving them a fair shake, but seriously… The Hugo Boss shoes look like really expensive Kenneth Coles to me in terms of construction, and the suits doesn’t appear to be built any better than your typical Macy’s suit. Maybe someone who actually owns Hugo Boss gear can chime in, though.

    there is a real nice lightweight michael korrs jacket not pictured for like under $50 …..also a real nice cut to it ….glad i didnt but it for 85 from the barneys outlet lol

  9. Roshan says

    October 31, 2012 at 9:10 AM

    In response to Alan’s comment that the Armani online suits potentially may not be as good as the in store versions, I just ordered the gray and it was noted that the suit would ship from a store. Will have to wait until it arrives to judge the quality/construction of course. Free return to the store made it worth taking the chance.

  10. Kent says

    October 31, 2012 at 9:17 AM

    How is the quality of the cashmere though?

  11. Joe says

    October 31, 2012 at 9:19 AM

    Agree with you on the Hugo Boss stuff to an extent, but I think the look and feel is a lot better than most in the mid to low $100s price range. But yeah, wait for a sale. Retail is way high on these.

  12. Trey says

    October 31, 2012 at 9:41 AM

    My experience has been those NM shirts are too baggy unfortunately.

  13. Alan Skinner says

    October 31, 2012 at 10:15 AM

    If you can get over the fact that they were found in the womens’ section and if you don’t have overly large hands, I found some camel-colored (also available in grey and black) cashmere blend fingerless gloves for $19:

    http://www.lastcall.com/p/Portolano-Fingerless-Gloves-Camel-fingerless-gloves/prod12690083___

    They’re one size fits all (for women) so they probably equate to a mens’ small or medium. And they’re completely plain so there’s no confusing them for strictly female gloves. Similar male 100% cashmere gloves are selling at BR for $60, and coupons don’t apply for them so if these work, then they’re a good deal.

    Being what they are, though, I don’t blame anyone for being hesitant and I will jump on this grenade to order them and see how they turn out. I’ll report back if anyone shows interest.

  14. Alan Skinner says

    October 31, 2012 at 10:26 AM

    In terms of look, I agree with you. I’m mainly speaking from a construction stand-point.

  15. PMMP says

    October 31, 2012 at 10:39 AM

    I will second this, BUT I rarely wear a dress shirt without something over it (blazer, sweater, etc.), so for me it has never been an issue. It is a great quality, patterned dress shirt that no-one can tell needs to be taken in at the sides. If you are in the same boat, worth looking at.

  16. Milo says

    October 31, 2012 at 11:02 AM

    I have the Sebago Tremont. Sadly paid $150 for it over a year ago from Zappos. They look great and the leather quality’s pretty good. However the vibram soles ave started coming unglued from the sole at the toe area (had to use superglue…). Also, the sole wears away pretty quickly; not sure if I can get it resoled…

  17. Chris says

    October 31, 2012 at 11:54 AM

    How would you compare it with the Brooks Brothers Slim Fit?

  18. Trey says

    October 31, 2012 at 12:23 PM

    Agreed, the issue then becomes the low arm holes which I hate. 🙁

  19. Chris says

    October 31, 2012 at 1:10 PM

    I bought one of these a few months back when they were recommended by Joe. Im pretty tall so i love the fact that they actually are long enough to tuck in. $33 + $15 to tailor = a very satisfied me.

  20. PMMP says

    October 31, 2012 at 2:51 PM

    Similar, in that neither is in any way slim-fitting at all.

  21. Joe Reid says

    October 31, 2012 at 5:51 PM

    Any thoughts on that shave bag/dopp kit?

    I’ve been looking for something similar in the $20-40 range. I was leaning towards something from Original Penguin that I’ve seen in stock at Nordstrom Rack.

    Does anyone know how the NM Trim Fit wrinkle free shirt fits compared to Jcrew Slimfit???

  23. theYeti says

    November 1, 2012 at 7:39 AM

    Really interested in hearing the quality on these as well

  24. theYeti says

    November 1, 2012 at 9:14 AM

    Being “blessed” with small hands I think I’ll be giving these a shot as well…

  25. Rick says

    November 1, 2012 at 1:56 PM

    I would say the BB Slim Fit is much bigger than NM Trim Fit. In fact, BB Slim Fit is bigger than the 101st’ standard issue parachutes. I had them darted, and now they look ridiculous because the sleeves are still big enough for my torso to go in one. When a fit 6′ man with a 42″ chest is drowning in a “slim fit” shirt it’s time to rename your stuff.

  26. Eric Gauvin says

    November 2, 2012 at 4:04 PM

    Sorry so late in getting back to you but the cashmere is what you would expect at the sale price but I wouldnt say its worth the full retail price.

  27. Brittany Nicole says

    November 3, 2012 at 10:52 AM

    I was thinking of getting this for my fiance, but there is no waist sizing for the pants. Any help on this?

  28. Jimmie says

    November 3, 2012 at 6:37 PM

    pants waist can normally be brought in or out by a tailor.

  29. Rob says

    November 6, 2012 at 5:06 AM

    I picked up a pair of the black Hugo Boss single strap monks last time you posted them. I think I got them down to about 125 with another code I found floating around.
    They’re not “lugged” at all, as mentioned in the description. A good deal on a solid, attractive shoe if one is willing to take the plunge on black monks.

  30. Roshan says

    November 6, 2012 at 5:10 PM

    I received the gray “Giorgio Armani” suit today and have to say I am VERY disappointed. It is NOT Giorgio Armani black label, but in fact from the Armani Collezioni line. $650 for a fused suit? Basically paying for the Armani name. NOT black label, NOT canvassed, NOT happy. Shame on Neiman Marcus for the misleading label. This is going back to the store.

  31. Alan Skinner says

    November 7, 2012 at 11:00 AM

    I rolled the dice and crapped out on these gloves. They’re still too small on my medium hands.

  32. Alan Skinner says

    November 7, 2012 at 11:03 AM

    The Grandoe gloves came in, and they’re too small for me. They’re also redder than I expected so I may not be sizing up. I may just be returning them.

  33. theYeti says

    November 8, 2012 at 11:04 AM

    Funnily, mediums are too big on me. At least a finger’s width of room at the end of every finger.
