SNOW14 = An Extra 40% off Select Styles at Ralph Lauren

First things first. … ^  That dog smokin’ a pipe? Forget the hat for a second. Dogs wear hats. Dogs wear ties. Dog smokin’ a pipe? That’s something.

Many of you guys don’t like logos on your clothes. Understandable. and Ralph Lauren has a tendency to put their iconic pony man all over their stuff. Also understandable. Know that avoiding the pony man has been taken into consideration with these quick picks. Lots of shoes & accessories then. Remember to use SNOW14 at checkout for the discount. Code expires 1/15.

 

Suede Norbeck Wingtip – $59.99 ($185)

RL Suede Wingers on Dappered.com

Beefy. Everything. Lugged sole, reinforced eyelets… Some suede, casual shoes for the next few months (yes, suede + snow/slush = not ideal… but they’re sixty bucks).

 

Long-Sleeved Waffle Crewneck – $35.99 ($98.99)

RL Pocket Thermals on Dappered.com

Almost a hundred bucks full retail? That seems… aggressive. Now around $35. For the guys who like to wear thermals on the weekend, but don’t really like henleys all that much. Pocket at the chest makes it just different enough.

 

Newent Burnished Leather Boot – $83.99 ($225)

Polo Jodhpur on Dappered.com

RL’s now extra-affordable Jodhpur boot. Black or brown leather with what sure appears to be a stitched leather sole.

 

Newent Leather Chelsea Boot – $83.99 ($198)

RL Chelsea on Dappered.com

Meanwhile… the Chelseas. Sure appears to be the same silhouette with the elastic gore sides. A note about the shape: they’re not the slimmest. So, these are gonna lean a little more casual. Also available in black.

 

Wading Sport Coat – $101.99 ($295)

RL Wading Sportcoat on Dappered.com

For the blazer addicts out there who don’t like spring’s shorter, more casual jackets. This solves the problem. More jacket than blazer (it’s a cotton/poly/nylon blend), this thing sits and fits like a sportcoat, but has the feel of a field jacket. Sold in exact chest sizes, with said sizes getting pretty scarce.

 

Suede Stratford Loafer – $179.99 ($495)

RL Suede Stratford Loafers on Dappered.com

Just for your diversification. From the much more expensive shoe lines. Made in Italy. Rounded toe. Perfect looking gold/brass-tone buckle. Hand-rubbed suede by Bacchus. Probably not that last part, but, you get the idea.

 

Buffalo Plaid Shaving Kit – $41.99 ($145)

RL buffalo dopp kit on Dappered.com

Classic red and black check wool with leather accents. 12″ long.

 

Slaton Suede Cap-Toe Shoe – $179.99 ($495)

RL Slaton Suede Cap-Toes on Dappered.com

Oooh. Those are something. Not cheap, but they’re something. Snuff Suede quarter brogues with perforations that sweep down the sides. Made in the USA.

 

Nubuck Texting Gloves – $29.99 ($78) | Card Case – $19.79 ($50)

RL Gloves & Card Case on Dappered.com

Couple of no-nonsense accessories. The Texting gloves have a 70% wool / 30% poly knit palm, so know they’re not nubuck all the way around. Card case does have a logo, but at least it’s a tonal stamp.

 

Custom Fit Rugby – $29.99 ($98)

RL custom fit rugby on Dappered.com

Yes, the pony man is very visible on these things. But the RL Custom fit is a true slim fit, and these rugby shirts are super comfortable. A nice upgrade from the ol’ collegiate hoodie on the weekends.

The Ralph Lauren Extra 40% off Select Styles Code SNOW14 expires today, 1/15/14.

Comments

  2. (Looks down at my AE Walnut Strands)…yeah I could use a similar shoe in snuff suede. Sorry wallet…

  3. they raised the prices on most of their non-chinese made shoes to match the same price as the extra 25% last week

  4. I was contemplating that Newent Chelsea very hard last week when it was $94 with a $20 off $100.if you pad your shopping cart w/ some socks. Didn’t pull the trigger though due to several people commenting that the toes are bulbous in person.

    Would like to see some real life photos if anyone has them, since a brown/tan chelsea is one of my next purchases

  5. Here’s something curious: Allen Edmonds Outlets sell a suede single monk named “Stratford” that looks exactly the same as that RL. Does AE have shoes made in Italy? Is RL…misleading? Also worth nothing that the Slaton is made by AE.

  8. RLPL has some gorgeous ties on discount from $215 down to $66. Definitely worth a look if you need grown-up ties and like macclesfields and ancient madders.

  10. Speaking of thermal henleys, I’ve had a hell of a time finding an affordable one that’s trim enough to not look like I’m wearing pajamas. Any recommendations?

  11. has anyone tried the norbeck or any variant of the lower end shoe stuff? i want to pull the trigger but i don’t if the PRL footwear is garbage. obviously it’s not going to be great at that price but i’d like for it to hold up for a little while.

    also, any thoughts on sizing for them?

  12. I picked up those suede Norbuck wingtips (and the moc toe boots in the same color) when they were on sale a while back. They definitely run small. I’m normally a 7.5 or 8 and the 8 is snug in both. The inner lining material also has a bit of a grippy nap to it, which exacerbates the snugness.

    They are obviously not Aldens, but for the price, but they don’t look or feel like cheap shoes by any stretch. I thought they were a pretty good deal at $80. At $60 they are a steal.

  13. I would buy that card case, but the eight dollar shipping tips the price from “hmmm!” to “hmmm…”

  15. Where do you guys see the reviews that say they aren’t slim in person? They look fine in those pics. But I know they can be very misleading.

  16. Target had a few Mossimo branded ones before Christmas. Might want to check their sale sections now.

  19. yeah, i just grabbed one from Target for nine bucks. they’re on clearance. a Merona, i think.

  21. Interesting. I almost bit on those boots a few weeks back when Joe featured them. They looked really nice but I live in LA and already have two three different pairs of boots so a fourth at any price seemed ludicrous.

  23. I JUST got the Norbeck suede boot, it came in some time last week. So far, I love it…the suede seems to be good quality, the shoes are comfortable, and the silhouette is a little sleeker than in the pictures, which I like as well. If it weren’t for the lugged sole, I would maybe wear it with a suit (and might still). I can’t say a lot for durability as I’ve only worn them twice, but like I said, initial impression is good, for what it’s worth.

  24. How’s the width on the Norbeck wingtips? I have pretty narrow feet (‘B’ in AE) but can get away with ‘D’ as long as it’s not a wide ‘D’ (that’s what she said).

    I have $70 store credit from last year and these just might fit the bill.

  25. thanks very much, that’s encouraging. i’m looking at the boots actually. how did you size? do you own something like converse (or another shoe size) to compare it to?

  26. Seconding that they run small (I have the Norbeck suede boot). I actually tried to get mine in-store in order to try them out. They were sold out, and the salesman had me try on something he said fit similarly, and that ran big on me. Accordingly, I bought a size down, but they were super-small when they came. I exchanged them for my normal size, which works great and is comfortable, but still definitely runs a bit narrow.

  28. Haha, I just responded to the sizing comment below before I saw this question! Oops. Anyway,.they run a bit narrow if you ask me, but I wear a 10D in Allen Edmonds, Johnston & Murphy, Clarks, etc. I tried a 9.5 at first and it was way too small, the 10 is very comfortable but still on the narrower side. It’s definitely a good buy though!

  30. Dang (or phew) the code doesn’t work on the two things I wanted. Close call budget, you were lucky this time around.

  31. So do they run small or just narrow? I’d love to pick up a pair, but with the shipping costs both way I’m very hesitant to commit, and there’s no way for me to try them on in person.

  32. excellent, thanks again. i actually found your blog earlier today when i was googling around trying to find sizing info.

  33. A bit of both, but I’d say more small than narrow. If you’re between sizes and have a narrow-to-normal width foot, I’d say size up. If you have a very wide foot, you might need to size up twice (one full size).

    If you have a narrow foot and don’t fall between sizes, you might be fine getting your normal size, but the shoes will probably be a bit snug.

    But obviously, YMMV. I can only speak from my own experience.

  34. I ordered them a few months back and I couldn’t put them back in their box fast enough. Very bulbous, chunky shape. Unfortunately I didn’t take a picture. The stock photos are very deceiving though.

  36. BOO, I just purchased a pair in 9d probably should have went with a 9.5 after reading these comments. I am sure Ralph Lauren has a good exchange policy.

  38. Thanks. It turns out there’s a flat $5 return shipping fee, so I just went ahead and ordered both sizes. Then decided to try the burnished boots, too, so I could get free shipping on the original order.

    Five bucks is a reasonable expense to ensure I get the right size. I just hope something fits.

  39. Oh nice! I hope you enjoy it…I’ll hopefully be getting a review of the boots up there at some point, but haven’t had a chance yet.

  40. One quick note –
    If you call RL Customer Service and give them an item number, they’ll contact a store with the item and request them to take any measurements you wish. The rep said there was usually about a 24 hour turnaround and she offered to call or email me with the info.

  43. Thanks for the info. These would have been perfect but I over thought it and missed the window on my size. Lame.

  46. Am I reading that correctly, but is that shaving kit a foot long (12″)? If so, that’s freakin’ long.
