The Thur/Fri Handfuls are great, but what if Monday rolls around and there are a few sales that can’t wait til the weekend? That can happen quite a bit during seasonal clearances. You’ll find three of the best, with three picks from each, to start the week below. Expect these with zero regularity. Note: The Sales Tripod’s mascot is Captain Cookster, the three legged tabby seen above. Proving that yet again, in the most unlikely ways, cats continue to dominate the internet.
Leg #1. Bonobos Extra 30% off Sale items w/ 48HOURS
This doesn’t look like it’s publicized on their site, but it went out in an email and there are a few items left with a wider range of sizes. Code expires 8/6 at 11:59 pm ET.
Super 110s Wool Straight Leg Dunbartons – $54.50 ($175)
For the trousers at work crowd. Made in Canada. Wool dress pants aren’t cheap, but to find these for under $60 shipped, with the Bonobos fit and the feel of super 110s wool is worth a look. You will most likely need to get them hemmed up.
Straight Leg Blue Oxleys or Pool Shark Chinos – $33.60 ($88 – $98)
Those oxleys are incredible. Like wearing an unstructured blazer… on your legs. Breezy, lightweight, but not flimsy. The Pool Sharks in turqoise are on the bright side, but not strictly for summer. Orange, pink, yellow, etc. will be hard to wear in September. These? Probably not.
Fairfax Grey Jacket + Pant or Khaki Jacket + Pant – $179.20 ($420)
Still a good chunk of sizes left and got another price reduction. They make too many of these or something? Wondering if both of these suit jackets could double as a polished cotton blazer being that they’re cotton.
Leg #2. Suitsupply select markdowns
Major hat tip to “clp” over on threads for noticing that there’s a handful of jackets marked down on the Suitsupply site. Can’t recall Suitsupply ever doing this before. Checked the rest of the site, but it looks like this is limited to a handful of blazers/sportcoats. No markdowns on suits.

Copenhagen Linen Blazer – $149.00
$150 for a Suitsupply blazer? Unheard of. A warning on this one: It looks pretty chopped in the tail. But, if you’re willing to invest a bit, it could be a steal at $150 for a blue casual blazer. All linen. Patch pockets. Could be a good upgrade for someone who’s been limping along with an old beat up chino blazer.
Vest in Brown Check – $99.00
Not on sale, but actually from the upcoming fall collection. Not cheap, but not as expensive as you think it would be, being that this is Suitsupply. Waistcoats aren’t cheap. They’re also not for everyone. Good for those of us that like to layer something over a shirt in the fall, but don’t always want to wear a suit, sportcoat, blazer, and like cleaner lines than what most sweaters offer.
SoHo Cotton/Linen Double Breasted Blazer – $149.00
She’s got HUGE… peak lapels! … No? Not game for this one? There’s another DB in cotton that’s on sale. Okay, orange then? Well what about this one from Brooks Brothers? Much more expensive, but you could maybe even pull that off with jeans. Right. Yeah. Not your thing. Well, okay then.
Leg #3. Nordstrom New Sale Section Additions
Pour some out for the Anniversary sale. It’s over. But whenever a Nordstrom sale ends… it’s time to check back in on their Sale Section. Nope, those Anniversary Sale items aren’t over there (the Anniversary Sale is a pre-season sale, not an end of season clearance)… but there does appear to be some new additions to the sale section. Everything ships and returns free.
.
Tretorn Nylite Suede Sneakers – $62.96 ($99)
These are a brand new arrival over at Club Monaco, but they’re already on sale at Nordstrom? Nice. A terrific take on the classic canvas sneaker, only in what appears to be a deeper-nap suede. Awfully rich looking shade of suede on the brown pair. More on the regular Tretorn Nylite over here.
Brooks Brothers Slim Fit Non-Iron Dress Shirt – $34.97 ($88)
Not extra slim, just slim. Not a bad deal though for a Brooks Brothers non-iron.
1901 Maui Driver – $55.90 ($90) | TBNY Double Monk – $266.96 ($398)
Here’s a now and a later. The 1901 is a nice way to wrap up your summer if you’ve recently stepped on a pop top, and thus, blew out the obligatory flip flop. Cheap, ships free, and from the Nordstrom house brand 1901. Meanwhile, the TBNY double monks are more expensive than the Allen Edmonds Neumora, but they’ll be a little more lightweight and flexible. But hang on here… these might dip further in the coming months. Maybe they’ll land at half off during the next half-yearly sale?
Also on the radar to start the week: Lands’ End / L.E.C. is 25% off everything through today w/ TREAT and pin 1015. J. Crew is offering 30% off Knits and Tees through 8/7 w/ SHOPNOW.
Do the SuitSupply blazers (the linen in perticular) have funtional buttons on the sleeves? I have heard that the suits do.
Would the Bonobos Pinfield suit jacket work as a blazer? It says its lightweight wool and bemberg lining. I live in Fl where the heat is always an issue.
They do.
Joe, how about an article on what Fall fashion things you’re most looking forward to?
I second your sentiments on the Oxleys. I have them in mint green and they feel like pajamas at the office. Throws the brain off.
Honestly, that SoHo DB blazer is pretty sexy. Cotton-linen is a great blend since it’s not too structured, but casual enough to be versatile and take the “stuffiness” out of the db jacket. And, of course, the colour is great. Seems well worth the $150 to me.
I’d probably take the plunge if I hadn’t taken my first venture into db territory during the Zara sale.
Thanks for the tip-off – a Copenhagen jacket is headed my way now. Living in the tropics, an unconstructed linen jacket is just the thing I’ve been chasing.
Posts like these ensure I stay poor. At least I’ll be the best-dressed hobo under the bridge.
Cheers,
Matto 🙂
Dang, the Bonobos code gets me again.. three more shirts and a pair of Travel denim. I can’t stay away.
The Fairfield suit in khaki is now $151.20, looks like the jacket price dropped since posting. Damn tempting…
jungle cents has a 48 for 100 dollars worth of bonobos, is this stackable? if so im in there!
nevermind that was an old deal, noticed onced i joined that it was sold out.
Pulled the trigger on those wool slacks.
short in length
Does anyone have experience with exchanging items by mail with Nordstrom? I picked up some Strands during the anniversary sale that are too big, but the nearest store is 1.5 hours away and I’m just trying to figure out my options.
How’s the fit on those bonobos suits? I haven’t bought from them in about two yrs. but had to size up in the waist with their chinos. Any input on the suit fit for an athletic build would be much appreciated.
Pulled the trigger on two Bonobos shirts, would love to give the khaki suit a try but feel like it might be a waste of time/effort given how sloppy their sizing was for a bunch of pants I ordered. Although none of the sizes are sold out so maybe there’ll be another price drop…
They have great shipping/ return policy – free both ways. Exchange – contact them via chat/ email. They are quite responsive.
The Bonobos straight fit will most closely match the Bowery classic fit. I have a pair of the Bonobos weekday warriors and a pair of the of the bowery classic fit and they seem comparable in fit, with the Bonobos being just a smidge looser.
Same here. $99 complete wool and mohair suit
Got two of the double-breasted suit supply blazers today. They are awesome!
