Columbus Day Sales Armada (… handful)

October 14, 2013 By Joe | Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. Also, we take your privacy rights seriously. Head here to learn more.

Leif Ericson got hosed. He beat Columbus to North America by half a millennium, and Christopher gets the day? The Norseman should throw a challenge flag on the field. But it’s not like we’re parading in the streets today (tri-corner hat tip to Vespucci for the namesakedom).  Most of us don’t even have today off.  Columbus Day, in the 21st century, basically means stores have an excuse to throw a sale. Your email inbox gets flooded with promo emails,  but your USPS mailbox will be empty this afternoon. Let’s chart a course through these marked-down waters.

Indochino: Select Items Sale

Indochino

The Picks: Coal Flannel Suit – $399 ($499), Ink Leather Cashmere Lined Gloves – $59 ($89)

Been awhile since Indochino got a mention. But, once they upped their prices to Suitsupply levels, most guys who can fit into off-the-rack sizes skipped the risk with Indochino (return shipping/small return window) and went with the consistency of Suitsupply. But for those who have had success with Indochino in the past (yes doubters, they are in fact out there) the sale is worth a look. Especially the charcoal suit in flannel for under $400, with the $75 tailoring credit. Nice looking gloves too. Shipping is free, but you’re on the hook for returns.

 

J. Crew: 25% off & free shipping no min w/ SHOPNOW

JCrew Slim Elbow Patch Sweaters

The Picks: Slim Rustic Merino Elbow Patch Sweater in crew or V-neck – $67.13 ($89.50), Cashmere Scarf – $82.50 ($110)

It’s the free shipping no minimum thing that really registers with many of us. $8.95 flat rate shipping under $175 stings. Especially if you’re looking to get just one of their slim fit sweaters (not all stores carry them). Code + free shipping offer expires today, 10/14. Suiting is excluded, as is outerwear and shoes if purchased online. But blazers are fair game (but man, are they pricey).

 

Billy Reid: 20% off w/ FRIENDS

Billy Reid Coats

The Picks: Bowery Coat – $580 ($725), Bond Peacoat – $556 ($695), Canvas Laptop Sleeve – $109.60 ($195)

It’s Billy Reid, so it’s pricey, but 20% off is awfully nice if you were planning on laying down some serious cash on a topcoat or peacoat that you’ll be wearing for the next… oh… a really long time. Code expires on 10/20.

 

Jos. A. Bank: Buy 1 get 2 Free + Free Shipping no Min.

jos a bank hanger

The Picks: Contoured Shoulder Wooden Hanger – $5.00 (if you buy three, so $15 total), Cedar Shoe Trees – $8.33 (if you buy three, so $25 total)

SEXY… right? But really, a big thanks to Corey and Red for sending in the style tip here. Buy 1, get 2 free, and free shipping no min. That can help out big time if you’re trying to amass a good collection of wide shouldered hangers and/or shoe trees. Mix and match here. You don’t need to get all of one thing.

 

J. Crew Factory: Still 50% off everything.

Factory Camel Topcoat

The Picks: Thompson Topcoat in Camel – $124.00 ($248), Slim Merino V Sweater – $32.00 ($64.50), Thompson Sportcoat in Herringbone or Tweed – $99.00 ($198)

Mentioned in the Thursday handful, but here’s one last reminder. Those Thompson sportcoats really deliver for a hundred bucks. Terrific fit and great fabric on the Herringbone option. The camel topcoat really is a true camel color in person. Not that washed out pale look that’s on their website. It’s a nice mid-weight, and the cut is awfully good… but the covered placket won’t be a home run with everyone. It has a tendency to splay open just a bit. Not a deal breaker for most, and worth the $124 with the half off sale, but still worth noting.

 

BONUS Bonobos: The Discovery Collection

Bonobos Explorer Collection

Bravo on the price Bonobos. Also, very well reviewed. (Meanwhile, travel jeans are $20 off through tonight w/ WEEKENDTRAVEL)

Also worth a mention (now, with bullet points!)

  • Need Supply Co: Extra 20% off Sale items w/ EXTRA20 Puts the Persol 714 in Havana down to $223.99
  • Cole Haan: They’ve added new items to their 30% off select fall items sale w/ FALL30, and that includes their super professional, nice and slim Bottolato Slim Brief for $243.60.
  • Banana Republic: 40% off w/ BROCT but usual exclusions apply (suits, blazers, BR Picks). Too bad their new “Jerome” boot is excluded as a a BR pick. Perfect shape. Lots of potential. SEND IT IN JEROME.
  • GAP: 40% off with GAPSAIL (a few picks over in the best bets)
  • JCP: Email list members should have gotten a code (SEPT31) and one time use serial number (different for each person) that’s good for 25% off one purchase through 10/31.

    Bullet points are awesome. Thanks, @Joe!

    Thanks for the suggestion!

    The pic of that dude lurking in the alley reminds me of a well-dressed day player from “Low Winter Sun” looking to even a score. I’m stayin’ outta that alley.

    Anthony Bourdain gives this dumpster 3 Noms. To earn a 4th and 5th ‘Nom’ it’ll need a mattress and a half-full bottle of vodka.

  5. JN says

    $550 is still too much for a peacoat, right?

  6. jdw says

    October 14, 2013 at 4:11 PM

    Bonobos keeps using “whilst” as a third-person “will,” I assume going for “willst” (which is not and never has been a word). For this atrocity, I will never purchase their products again!

  7. jdw says

    October 14, 2013 at 4:11 PM

    For that one? No.

  8. JN says

    October 14, 2013 at 4:17 PM

    So not helping lol. Debating between the Bond and a $300 Bedale that’s on the way for my winter warmth of choice… if only I could return the peacoat for $$ and not just credit. Seems like too much of a risk to buy without trying on :/.

  9. Michael says

    October 14, 2013 at 4:30 PM

    Keep in mind that the Bond peacoat is completely unlined – which some may like, but I found too scratchy.

    For anyone interested, that is the best deal for shoe trees anyone can get. The sale happens about 1 or 2 times a year at most. Bought 30 cedar shoe trees last time. Anyone considering should just do it.

    $20 Travel Jeans and $20 OFF Travel Jeans are two very different things!

    Anyone else not receive the jcp code in email today?

    30 pairs of shoe trees? Post some pics of your shoe collection on the Threads!

    Derp. You are correct. Missed a word. Fixed.

    this may already be up on the forums, but RE: Indochino it looks like TheDailyHookUp.com is doing another deal for Indochino. $499 gets you a suit, shirt, tie, and pocket square.

    http://www.thedailyhookup.com/national/deal/exclusive-deal-on-indochino-custom-mens-suits?utm_source=The+Daily+Hookup%2C+Inc.+List&utm_campaign=187ca7f1b3-Indochino10_14_2013&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_9f4e307368-187ca7f1b3-242323457

  17. Mike says

    October 15, 2013 at 12:02 AM

    Inflation. That deal was $320 last year (minus the pocket square). Or that’s just one really, really expensive pocket square.

  18. Brailleyard says

    October 15, 2013 at 12:30 AM

    pulled the trigger on those ink gloves – i’ll let the team know how they work.

  19. Brailleyard says

    October 15, 2013 at 12:32 AM

    They’ve got a shop in TN – I tried the Bond Peacoat on-
    you have my word – you will feel invincible.

    invincible.

    I picked up 3 last night. The Jos A Bank trees are quite nice!

  21. SolefulStrut says

    October 15, 2013 at 9:04 AM

    Can someone lend a brother a hand? I have 3 trees in my cart & total is $75. How does one apply the deal?

  22. Brian_T says

    October 15, 2013 at 11:20 AM

    I’m trying to figure the same thing out.

  23. Aaron says

    October 15, 2013 at 11:23 AM

    Yeah, I agree. But Indochino raised it’s prices so I guess $499 isn’t all that surprising to me.

  24. John Mondragon says

    October 15, 2013 at 11:44 AM

    And that dumpster in the alley reminds me of where “Low Winter Sun” scripts are after Breaking Bad ended.

  25. JN says

    October 15, 2013 at 12:13 PM

    Turns out that the promo code can be used without sacrificing the right to a full refund…. gonna try it out.

  26. jamie says

    October 15, 2013 at 2:03 PM

    Columbus set sail without you, because you missed the boat! This was a Columbus Day sale, not Day After Columbus Day sale!

  27. SolefulStrut says

    October 15, 2013 at 2:25 PM

    Ah, yes I did miss that part; thank you for the reply. Although I received the Dappered email this morning…Joe?

    Also, let’s strike Columbus from the calendar, shall we?

    Wait. We send emails?

    (only half kidding)

  29. Rob F. says

    October 15, 2013 at 6:31 PM

    Bonus points: the J Crew Factory picture features the graffiti “NOM NOM NOM” on the dumpster nearby. Priceless.

    Please do, they look real good
