Sales that deserve some attention heading into the weekend, or sometimes, a bit earlier. Might not be some massive once a year event, but still worth a look. Those are what make up these handfuls. Expect these things when necessary. Five of the better sales, one for each finger, are below. Included are a few picks worth pointing out.
Bonobos: Tiered ZOMBIE sale $10 off $75, $25 off $150, etc
The Picks: Double Breasted Madison Topcoat + Dark Grey Socks = $391 TOTAL ($506), Slim Ging Crosby in Light blue + The Merrimack Grey Belt – $66 total. Made in the USA Travel Jeans in any shade – $88 ($98), Cappu-Chinos Brown Washed Chinos – $78.00 ($88)
Bonobos is running a “Zombie Invasion” sale, and you’ll need a few codes to take advantage:
- FASHIONVICTIM = $10 off $75
- SCAREDASFIT = $25 off $150
- OFCORPSE = $35 off $200
- KILLERLOOKS = $50 off $250
- SKULLANDBONOBOS = $125 off $500
The dark grey socks are a good pick for adding to your cart if you’re looking at any big ticket items close to the $500 threshold. At $488, The Madison Topcoat (featured over here) would only be $50 off unless you added the socks. So… use the socks (or something else small) to unlock a less expensive price tag. Strange that the Ging Crosby is available in all of those sizes. Especially in slim (here’s a comparison of Bonobos Slim and Regular Fit shirts). Both the shirt + belt are already on sale, and just barely nudge past the first threshold. And ten bucks off a pair of their washed chinos or travel jeans? Nice of em’.
Jack Spade: Extra 25% off Sale w/ SALE25
The Picks: Nylon Canvas Military Brief – $104.25 ($225), Sailcloth Jacket – $165.00 ($295)
The Jack Spade sale section is far from overflowing, but a hundred bucks for that no-nonsense briefcase seems like an awfully good deal. Also available in black. Not a lot of sizes left in the jacket as of post time.
J. Crew: 25% off $150+ w/ SHOPNOW
The Picks: Ludlow Glen Plaid Super 150s Suit – $487.48 ($890), Ludlow Glenplaid Brown Sportcoat – $224.25 ($328), Two Slim Merino V-necks – $117.00 ($156)
Code was set to expire yesterday, but it looks like they’ve extended it through tomorrow. And it’s currently working on the just added to the sale section, Super 150s (yeah, 150s… thus the huge price) glen plaid ludlow suit shown above. A beast at almost five hundred bucks, and sizes are VERY limited for the pants. But… man. Ticket pocket too. Lots of exclusions, but surprised the suit is still getting the cut.
Ralph Lauren: Up to 40% off + free shipping w/ FALLSALE13
The Picks: Suede Belt – $49.99 ($75.00), Quilted Racing Gloves – $61.60 ($88.00)
The extra 15% off that came with getting in early on the RL Fall sale is gone, but the free shipping no minimum code FALLSALE13 is certainly well appreciated. Stuff like that suede belt, or this season’s renewal of the well appreciated racing-style gloves might be worth considering now that the weather has cooled off. Great buckle on that belt, and the quilted stitching + wrist strap keep the gloves interesting.
Jomashop: Citizen Watch Event + Free Shipping w/ FASTSHIP
The Picks: Eco-Drive Perpetual Cal. Chrono – $199.99, Eco-Drive Black Plated Military – $87.50
There are a lot of… questionable websites that sell watches out there. But Jomashop seems to be relatively respected (never ordered from them myself…) They’re running a Citizen “Doorbuster” event through 11/5, and the prices are honestly pretty darn low. That, and since the brand is Citizen, they should be dependable and less of a risk (compared to buying a high end automatic from the web). Review on the Chrono over here. Thanks to Jose P. for sending in the style tip. Got experience with Jomashop? Leave it in the comments…
BONUS – The Checkbook Wrecker: Bloomingdale’s Designer Sale
The Picks: Frye Made in the USA “Walter” Boot – $243.60 & in Nubuck too ($348), Salvatore Ferragamo Addo Double Monkstrap – $392 ($560), Jack Spade Suede Duffel – $385 ($550), Danger Zone ready Cashmere TactleNeck – $175.00 ($250)
Well that’s all pretty damn expensive. The Frye’s are a nice, more affordable alternative to the Alden Indy. Made in the USA too. Now how’s about some picks that aren’t so financially deadly? The J&M Tyndall Boot (reviewed over here) is down to $129.50, they’ve also got some monk straps from J&M in the sale, while these should get most of us through winter. But those are all shoes though. Smell the glove(s)? Shipping is free over $50. UPDATE: Check the comments for the quality, or lack there of, when it comes to those Frye boots. Eesh.

Comme d’habitude, awesome breakdown of the web’s sales.
Worth asking – that jack spade duffel for 385, does it hold a candle to the killspencer overnight duffle?
http://killspencer.com/overnight-duffle.html
And more importantly, please oh please review everything on their site…they don’t fit the ‘affordable’ aspect, but they darn sure are dapper.
I’ve bought from Jonashop before. I ended up returning the watch since I didn’t like the way it looked in person, but the entire thing was handled without any issues. It’s a legit site.
Hey Joe, perhaps another one for the also-mention list: I just this second got a “BOO…TS!” sale notification from Allen Edmonds. 20% off boot seconds at outlet locations through 11/10.
FIVE pairs?
This seems bizarre to me. Why would they keep making them if they’re this defective? Crazy.
That Bonobo’s topcoat is $498, so that makes it $391 with the sox actually. I will wait for the straight 25% off to come back.
I bought those quilted RL gloves last year during a sale. They held up great during the Chicago winter and I’ve gotten a ton of compliments on them. They pair incredibly well with my navy quilted jacket and I think they’d look even better with a bomber.
I can attest two having multiple pairs of these boots. I’ve only replaced them once, but my second pair is coming undone. I’m over it. I’ll wear them as long as I can and then get the Aldens. The leather IS really nice and I get a lot of compliments on the boots, however, I know what’s going on with the stitching.
Wow. Thanks guys, updated above. Appreciate the feedback.
Corrected. Thought it was $488 for some reason.
Yes, the 25% off does make it less (with no socks) and I was going to mention that… but I wonder when they’ll run the next 25% off big ticket items code. Doesn’t seem like they do those that often. Hell of a coat though. But, it better be for almost $400.
How did the gloves fit for you? I’m on the lookout for a decent pair but it seems like every set I get the fingers are too long for my tiny hands.
I know someone who used to work for Jomashop. He is a reputable guy, and he had good things to say about it.
Joma Shop has terrible customer service. They will accept orders, then unilaterally cancel them when they can’t fulfill. If you ask for a raincheck, they will offer you a near identical watch at a significantly higher price. Bait-and-switch tactics. I wouldn’t call it legit.
I haven’t had a bad experience with them but I’ve only dealt with them a few times. Most people on WUS will list them as a reputable site as well. Although all that really means is they are selling legit watches and not knockoffs.
I just placed an order for an ecodrive watch from them. I was on the phone with CS since it wouldn’t accept my extra coupon code. Supposedly you can’t stack any codes on top of doorbusters. She did tell me that the watch I want is in stock so hopefully it should be here in a few days.
Jomashop is a legit store. Bought from there a couple of times with no problems, including one return. They often have good sales. And you can sometimes get their watches through Amazon with prime shipping, though check, because the sales prices are often lower on their own site than on Amazon.
I think he means they’ve replaced the boots several times.
I will say I picked up those Frye Arkansas boots a few weeks back and so far they have been great. No quality concerns at all.
Thank you for the clarification.
Quick reminder, if you sign up for Banana Republic’s alerts you’ll still get an email for 25% off which is stackable from last week and today. Last night I ordered their newly released Navy-Plaid blazer. Should be here next week

I got the same thing. They love to taunt me.
I agree – they often have good sales. I got my Hamilton khaki off their site for cheaper than Amazon and had no issues.
Too bad on the j.crew suit – only small sizes in the pants… they seem to have plenty of jackets
Is no one going to mention that the turtleneck is available IN A SLIGHTLY DARKER BLACK?
Express has a darker glen plaid, if you’re looking for something inexpensive.
The Bonobos Ging Crosby Light Blue shirt is no longer on sale. Had it in my cart, refreshed later and then it was back to full price. Just an FYI
Just ordered the JS briefcase. If you sign up for their mailing list, you get a 15% off code which stacks with SALE25.
Same here….I am very sad.
If it makes you two feel any better, I’ve been less than impressed by Bonobos shirts. Their pants are nothing short of spectacular, and kind of the gold standard I keep when comparing other pants, but the shirts… not so much. The quality and fit is just suspect. I’ve returned most every shirt I’ve bought from them.
I have been buying Frye shoes and boots for years now. Since the mid-90’s probably. I have found them to be incredibly well made shoes. Nary a problem with any of them. That said, I understand they have shifted some of their manufacturing to outside the US in recent years. The stuff I bought was from their upstate NY site.
I had an issue with these boots initially. There was a plastic rod inside and around the toe, under the stitching. It kept coming out and rubbing my foot painfully. Got them replaced, but it happened again. This time I just pulled it out and have had no more problems. A year and a half of wearing them at least once per week, and they’re going strong.
I agree, Jomashop hands down. I’ve ordered two watches from there so far and everything went smoothly. Best prices I’ve seen for watches online, including Amazon. Watch for their rotating “flash sales” in which they lower the already reduced prices on certain brands.
Jomashop sells authentic watches at very low prices, including some of the high-end brands. My brother and I recently bought a pair of Omega watches for 35% off MSRP – cheaper than even the next best grey market etailers by hundreds of dollars.
The trade-off is their customer service can be a pain to work with, as well as the stocking issues on their website. I’ve had occasion to call Jomashop from time to time and the experience varies widely by which individual CS representative you happen to be talking to. Some are perfectly polite and helpful, others are very stereotypical, brusque New Yorkers who seem to regard your call as a waste of their time.
If you want great customer service, you’ll either have to pay more at an authorized dealer, or go through a different grey market vendor like Amazon. Amazon’s legendarily lax watch return policies, though, drastically increase your odds of buying a “new” watch that has obviously been worn and returned already.
The bottom line is, you can’t have everything (great products, great prices, great customer service). Jomashop happens to excel at the former two and is notably lacking in the latter.
