HEATWAVE30 = Extra 30% off Sale items at Bonobos
Usually Bonobos will only run an extra 20%, maybe 25% off sale items code. And when they do, usually the selection can be pretty picked over. Not so this time.
An extra 30% off, plenty to dig around and look at (use that sizing filter at the top of the page), and some bigger ticket items like summer suits dropping into the affordable range. Hot dog. Only items with a decent size selection at post time are shown below, unless noted. Code HEATWAVE30 expires on Thursday 7/25, and maybe they’ll throw some new items in the sale section a little later on in the week? Who knows.
Fairfax Khaki Cotton Twill Suit Jacket + Pants – $193.20 ($425)
That’s… a pretty screamin’ deal on a cotton Bonobos suit. Sure, it’s late July already, but if this heatwave keeps up, you’ll be good wearing this clear through September. Forget the calendar. If it feels like summer, a summer suit is fine. Not the closest fit in the jacket, so the slim guys are going to need their tailor to do some work on it.
Fairfax Grey Cotton Twill Suit Jacket + Pants – $193.20 ($425)
All sizes available in the jacket and pant at post time too. Straight leg fit on the pant. Suit jacket might need to be nipped at the waist for some. Since it’s cotton, and darker in color, it certainly falls into that “Immagonnawearasuitforthehelluvit” wheelhouse. Like, out for a Wednesday night happy hour or something.
All White Beauregard Seersucker Jacket + Pant – $186.90 ($416)
Proof that heat makes you crazy. All white. Not even any of the light blue or grey pinstripes you usually get with seersucker. But the last few weeks have been in the triple digits for many of us, and there’s an upcoming trip to a high-humidity area lingering… HOLD ME BACK… HOOOOOOOLD ME BACK!
“Oxleys” Oxford Pants in Mint or Bright Blue – $33.60 ($98)
Not gonna get better than that when it comes to price. For when you want to wear shorts, but can’t. These are as close as it gets. Oxford cloth fabric in the shade of the season (mint) and a nice brighter blue. Pair either with a white or navy polo and your favorite loafers or sneakers. Each is also available in their slimmer cut here and here. Tons of sizes in mint, plenty of sizes in blue.
Picklebacks Washed Chinos – $33.60 ($88)
A more aggressive green in their standard washed chino fabric. Still plenty versatile. More so than red pants.
Belmont Sky Blue Pique Polo – $33.60 ($55)
Still expensive for a polo, but it ships free and fast and returns are easy. Thanks Ninjas. Perfect shade. Pique fabric though, so, know that if you’re more of the jersey polo type. Has some striped taping on the placket.
Jack Spade Brown Leather Document Brief – $194.60 ($395)
Dead simple design with a pretty darn handsome shade of leather. Sorta unisex looking with those handles, but at 16″ wide and nice and trim in width, it shouldn’t be too pursey. Sub $200 for an all leather brief is pretty solid.
“Venetian” Linen/Silk Polka Dot Necktie – $33.60 ($68) or Bow Tie – $26.60 ($58)
Made in the USA, both 2.75″ wide, and both 60% linen and 40% silk.
Sebago Wide Spinnaker – $54.60 ($100)
Now almost half off. These come in wide sizes, so if you are of narrow feet, forget it. But, if you’re a bordeline wide, try sizing down and you might get lucky here.
The extra 30% off sale items code HEATWAVE30 expires on Thursday, 7/25/13.
Holy crap, a wide width shoe for sale? And posted on Dappered? This is the best thing ever.
I’d be all over that khaki fairfax suit if the jacket lapels weren’t so thin.
Is their straight leg slim at all? I’m 5’10” and 148 lbs with tone runner legs (not skinny). I wonder if their slim straight would fit like skinny pants on me…
Also, is oxford cloth comparable to chinos? I want something that I could wear year round and is worried that oxford cloth would be too light for the winter.
Thanks!
FYI for first-time Bonobos buyers: the straight leg is straight from waist to ankle rather than tappered from the knee. I’m 5’9, 150 with cyclist legs but I found the chinos to be far too boxy. Waiting on the slim fit to arrive.
I feel like the mint is too minty? I think I like that pickel color better.
How does the khaki twill cotton suit compare to the BR linen-cotten khaki suit that was on sale for $150~ around 4th of July? With tax it would be about $70 more, I was wondering if the quality justifies the price increase. Thanks!

According to the one review, the mint green pants are more of a turquoise.
Hey guys, I’ve become a bit of a Bonobos honk over the past few months and I have a lot of experience with those washed cotton and oxford cloth chinos. I own the mint green washed chinos and oxford cloth and I really love them – definitely a different look.
I disagree with the comment of more turquoise than “minty”. They washed color of chinos are really muted, making it much more of a soft mint look. The oxford cloth green is a bit darker than the cotton chinos, but not really turquoise. I also own the “Picklebacks” and Joe is correct: with a dark polo and white canvas shoes they are very good looking. And they feel awesome.
As for the fit on the cotton chinos, I had to experiment a lot with them. Thanks to Bonobos “return whenever you feel like it” policy, I’ve taken the time. I’m 6’1, 180, athletic thighs, and I just could not get the slim fit to feel comfortable on my thighs. I liked the taper at the ankle, but sitting down the pants made me look like I was in the Ramones.
I like the oxford cloth, but the buttons on them look and feel a little cheap (not like the slide and click button on the washed chinos). The fabric is definitely lightweight, but I prefer the urban slim fit bowery J. Crew oxford pants over the Bonobos. And I can wear the slim fit J. Crew much better than the Bonobos. I have to go straight leg on all Bonobos. They don’t taper at the ankle, but they still look good.
Hope that helps!
I wear there Straight Legs and they work for me. I have a squatters legs and ass… For example, Uniqlo REGULAR fit is too skinny for me, I can barely get them on. But Bonobos works out without being skin tight. I’m 6’4, 200lbs with a 9″ drop (44L jacket, 35 waist).
I find my Bonobos items to be nicer than BR items. I’m not sure if the jacket is unstructured or not; but all structured bonobos suits use half canvassing vs. the fused suits BR sells.

I’d agree with Forrest – most Bonobos items just *feel* nicer than the Banana counterpart. I used to wear BR pants almost universally, but am now slowly switching over as my wallet allows.
I used to buy straight but now buy only straight slim from them. I’m thinking of getting my remaining straight cuts tailored.
Their return policy is pretty great if you want to order one of each to try out.
Yeah, the straight cut billows out almost like bell bottoms or a boot cut around the ankles for me. I switched to straight slim and never looked back.
As a side note to your excellent post, you can get Bonobos items tailored for free if you order through Nordstrom. I lucked up on a pair of chinos on sale that were a tad too long, and they’re getting hemmed for free.
Oh God… I’m 5′ 9″, 148 with runner legs and I just bought two pairs in straight leg 🙁
Fear not. Free returns with a prepaid shipping label included in the box.
I’ve found no difference between the two. I own both and wear the same size in both. They’re both slim through the hip and thigh and tapered at the ankle.
I called and canceled the order. Thanks for the help! I now know that I can forever just stick to slim everything 😀
I’ve been Coveting the Newport jacket in blue chambray since it first came out, but $188? That’s just silly. I’d been watching the sale section, and even the initial sale price was a bit high for me, but then it dropped to $98, and with the 30% discount it just got good! http://www.bonobos.com/blue-spring-harrington-jackets-for-men-the-newport-blue-chambray
They definitely run longer than what the size says (vanity sizing, perhaps?). I usually wear a 32×34, but their 32×32 chinos fit juuuust right.
If you have a Nordstroms near by, you can order the pants through them and get them hemmed for free.
Would you still get the discount though if you went through Nordstrom?
If they have the items in stock, yes. They honored my 20% off coupon in store on top of their sale price. I was told they are one of the few brick and mortar retailers who carry Bonobos, so they can authorize those discounts. You may have to call or visit Nords in person to get the discount though..
