FRSHIP = Free Shipping No Min at LastCall.com
If FRSHIP happens to stop working, LCJUN75 will get you free shipping on purchases over $75.
Lastcall is a little like GAP inc. Always on sale, so you have to wait for an “oh that’s a larger % off than normal” type of deal. 40% falls into that category, but it’s the free shipping no minim code FRSHIP that really helps out here. Even small stuff like socks gets shipped out on their dime.
Note that only items with a “regular” price get that cut. And by regular, they mean the first level of discounting that happens once an item hits the LastCall.com “shelves.” If it’s a category specific 30% or 50% off, then you can’t double up with an extra 40. No code necessary to get the discount, and the lower price should show up once you put the item in your cart. Remember, just one item gets the markdown, not a whole bag full o’ goods.
Hugo Boss Grand Central Suit in Med. Grey or Windowpane – $345.00
For about $100 less than a Suit Supply purple line, you get a made in the USA suit that is most likely fused, but could become a real favorite. Their Grand Central suits appear to be slimmer fitting (anyone with direct experience?) and that medium grey is a shade that somehow gets lost between the legions of charcoal and lighter grey suits on the market. 38R, 40R, 42R, and 44R available at post time. These are in a pricing no-man’s land. Somewhere around Banana Republic suiting, just south of SuitSupply, but probably fused and nowhere near as cheap as J. Crew Factory. Still, might be an option depending on the budget.
Gitman Bias Stripe Wool Tie in Khaki, Navy, or Red – $29.00 ($95)
Doesn’t get the extra 40% off since these are already an extra 50% off . So, we got that goin’ for us. Which is nice. Made in the USA. Some bowties available as well if that’s more your thing.
Trim Fit Non-Iron in Blue Gingham | Stretch Blue | Stretch White – $33.00 ($89.50)
From the Neiman Marcus house brand. Lots of guys swear by the trim-fit non-iron shirts and there’s plenty of colors and patterns to pick from. Meanwhile, these “stretch” shirts seem to be a new addition. 97% cotton with 3% lastol. Neck & sleeve sizing.
Donald J. Pilner Vinco Suede Penny – $87.00 | Vijay Suede Driver – $87.00
Under $90, ships free, from a brand with a decent rep. Amazon claims
English Laundry Skull Socks – $4.50 ($12.00)
Impulse buy. This is the digital commerce world we live in. Free shipping makes these a “oh-what-the-hell” kinda thing. Lots of earth-tones get worn in the summer, so maybe something to wear with a khaki suit.
Magnanni Suede Monk Straps – $167.40 | Blue Suede Cap Toes – $165.00
A warning: Magnanni does like themselves an elongated toe. So, if you’re more of a traditional shoe silhouette guy, these might look elf-ish (as some reviewers report on the LastCall site). Both the blue and the “brandy” are shades that are much easier to pull off in warm weather.
Burberry Endurance Chrono – $256 ($495)
Quartz? Yes. Gets by on the brand name? Absolutely. But it’s made in Switzerland, has a sapphire crystal, and that ribbed bezel is a real nice touch. More looks that substance, but it’s not completely shallow to all.
Sebago Saddle Shoe – $57.50 ($145)
Urkel hits the beach? Saddle shoes + boat shoes… but the price is right, and the colors are okay. Might become a go-to pair you thrown on to pedal downtown for a quick bite or something.
Neiman Marcus Polka Dot Silk Tie – $21.00 ($75)
Those dots are the perfect size. Not twister enormous, and not so tiny you can’t make them out. From NM’s own house brand. Just a touch over 3″ wide, so while not skinny, it won’t be goofy fat either.
Magnanni Medallion – $179.40 ($299)
Only if these were a true, closed lacing oxford. A blucher instead, but that medallion on the toe looks great. Speaking of the toe, it doesn’t look quite as elongated as some of Magnnanis other models?
The Extra 40% off one item sale ends Thrusday 6/6. No word on when FRSHIP expires.
Sorely tempted for 20 bucks.. http://www.lastcall.com/p/Neiman-Marcus-Houndstooth-Silk-Tie-in-Box-Purple-Ties/prod15980057_cat5920003__/?icid=&searchType=EndecaDrivenCat&rte=%252Fcategory.jsp%253FitemId%253Dcat5920003%2526pageSize%253D120%2526No%253D0%2526refinements%253D&eItemId=prod15980057&cmCat=product
Those Gitman Bros ties are some of the best-made ties for the money that I’ve seen. If you read up on tie construction, you’ll know what I mean. I think they’re that heavy, scratchy kind of wool so you may have to weight until fall to wear, though.
That being said, I’ve found that the Last Call brick and mortar stores tend to have a wider variety of Gitman Bros ties that never make it to the website. For example, I’ve seen corduroy and cotton ties from them in-store. Just make a bee line for the clearance tie rack and wait for an opportunity to stack clearance prices with departmental discounts.
I just was adding things to my cart, and they’re trying to charge tax in PA, but there’s no sales tax on clothing. Odd.
If that no minimum free shipping works, then this might be the best option: 2-pack of irish linen handerchiefs (http://www.lastcall.com/p/Neiman-Marcus-Irish-Handkerchief-Set-handkerchief/prod12950001___/?icid=&searchType=SEARCH&rte=%252Fsearch.jsp%253FN%253D0%2526Ntt%253Dhandkerchief%2526_requestid%253D45555&eItemId=prod12950001&cmCat=search)
I could use some linen pocket squares and these might do in a pinch. And for $13 shipped?
Hmm, a navy cotton-linen blazer with Bemberg lining for $150? Intriguing: http://www.lastcall.com/p/Vince-Linen-Cotton-Blazer-Coastal/prod16190026_cat5920009__/?icid=&searchType=EndecaDrivenCat&rte=%252Fcategory.service%253FitemId%253Dcat5920009%2526pageSize%253D120%2526No%253D0%2526Ns%253DMAX_PROMO_PRICE%2526refinements%253D&eItemId=prod16190026&cmCat=product
(Ratio is 60% linen, 40% cotton, per the Vince website)
That’s probably just an estimate. The same thing happened when i ordered something from Nordstrom last week but when they actually processed the order the tax amount changed to zero.
I asked a customer service rep, and she told me they charge tax in PA. It’s also listed on their site.
a fine choice

Fused and workhorse don’t really go together. I bought a dark gray Boss suit for way more than that, and loved it. Wore it all the time. For a year. Now there’s just something kind of off about how the fabric sits; it sort of “crinkles” if that makes sense. I’d spend the extra to go half-vested.

That’s a good point. Workhorse obviously implies lots of use (RIP Boxer… “I WILL WORK HARDER!”). I think I was meaning for those of us who don’t wear suits every day, it might become a favorite. Changed up above.
I impulse bought some socks. Thanks for the tip!
Last Call trim fit shirts are great overall, but you should know the sleeves tend to run very wide. I happen to be wearing one at the moment, and it has three very generous pleats at the cuff. Now, I have decently sized arms, but I could easily cut 2″ off the sleeve circumference and it wouldn’t be at all tight. So if this is the sort of thing that will bother you then you should factor in the cost of tailoring before buying.
Thanks, picked up a purple gingham trim fit dress shirt.
thanks for the heads up. i jumped on two of the shirts at separate orders to take advantage of the 40% off on each shirt. ;-p
I picked that up a couple of weeks ago for the same price. It fits like a refrigerator box. I’m sending it back when I get a chance.
Word of warning – the “trim fit” shirts fit like absolute tents, trim is a complete misnomer.
Felt compelled to buy something… got the socks
Usually the Tom Ford sunglasses are excluded but not this time. Just picked up a pair for the wife. $380 glasses for $120.
I have a few of these “trim fit” shirts and there is great variability between them. Some of them are cut very trim and fit pretty well, almost like a Charles Tyrwhitt Tailored/Extra Slim.
Others are tents, as PiccoloCV pointed out. There is no real way to tell except to try them on at an outlet location.
You’re right, my order was processed with out tax. Also, for anyone with a chase freedom card you get 7% cashback from last call if purchased through the ultimate rewards mall.
Well, I’m certainly glad I didn’t buy that !
