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.
Target: Semi-Annual Men’s Wardrobe Sale
- Merona Tailored Fit Cotton Blazer – $30 ($59.99)
- Merona Estes Boot in Brown Leather – $39.99 ($49.99)
- Mossimo Trim Fit 60/40 Cotton poly t-shirt – $8.00 ($9.99)
- Mossimo 5 pocket canvas pants in “cornelian blue” – $14.99 ($24.99)
They might have gotten stomped by Nordstrom in Store Wars, but plenty of us dip into Target awfully often. T shirts, polos, etc. Now they SAY this event is limited to online, but it still might be worth stopping into a brick & mortar to see if some of these deals are carrying over. Might make for a nice little Saturday. For example, those boots aren’t sold online, just in store, and the sale price apparently carries over to there. Anyway, free shipping kicks in at $50. UPDATE: Check out Kevin’s review of the blazer on reddit over here. Thanks to him for posting that in the comments…
Express: 40% off everything (no code needed)
The Picks: Deconstructed Cotton/Linen Blazer in Blue, Grey, or White – $88.00 ($148)
Couple problems with Express blazers: 1. They’re usually lined in all poly… but these say they’re only half lined. So that’s a good start. 2. They don’t trickle down to brick and mortar stores as quick as you’d think. Still can’t find these things in person. Got one on the way for an up close though, so standby for that. Center vent, no word on the cotton/linen blend makeup.
Allen Edmonds: Anniversary Sale & New Clearance
- McAllister Wingtips (in Merlot!) – $259
($365)
- Mora 2.0 Double Monks – $259 ($365)
- Hanover wholecuts in bourbon
or black – $197
The selection of models on discount for the anniversary sale isn’t… vast. By any stretch. But all shades of the McAllister are getting the discount, as well as black, brown, and bourbon Mora 2.0 double monks. Hanovers are now down to under $200 and you can see an in person review over here.
MEANWHILE… Their Factory Outlets are running another 2nds sale. Searchable inventory, with pics of the models up for grabs can be found over here. Here’s a first person account of the ordering process.
J. Crew Factory: 50% off Sitewide & New Arrivals
The Pick: Factory Thompson Unconstructed Sportcoat in Linen – $84.00 ($168)
Hey now. Not a bad price if it works out. Says it’s partially lined too. One drawback: it’s not sold in exact chest sizes, and S/M/L/XL usually = more tailoring than normal. Patch pockets here, which is nicely appropriate for a more casual jacket.
Charles Tyrwhitt: $29.50 Shirt Sale
The Picks: Sky mini grid check non-iron slim fit – $29.90, White pinpoint slim fit shirt – $29.90, Purple & navy Fine Grid Check – $29.90
Sale is limited to one order per person of up to 5 shirts. No free shipping though, and standard delivery is $9.95. But for $40, lots of guys swear by these things. And they are nice. The slim fit fits a 175 – 180 lb 5-10″ frame pretty darn good. Collars are good and substantial too. Just know that the second button is pretty high, so tieless would require undoing both the first and second. Access to the sale happens via this odd www.ctshirts.com/default.aspx?q=denzel||||||||||||||| page. (Denzel? KING KONG AIN’T GOT SH*T ON ME!) Many thanks to Mark C. for the style tip.
BONUS: J. Crew: 30% off Select Styles, & Sale Items
- Red Wing Beckman Boots – $180.60 ($320)
- Ludlow Sportcoat in Herringbone Italian Linen – $201.60 ($328)
- Ludlow Club Blazers in Navy or Grey – $297.50 (man… that’s still a ton.. org. $425)
Is this J. Crew’s thing now? “Select item” sales? Where they seem to pick an arbitrary bunch of stuff and give that bunch a cut? Well, perhaps it is their thing now. Anyway, Sliding this back in here from last week because the J. Crew Red Wing Beckmans are now accepting the code, and while there are limited sizes, they drop to $180 after the discount. Thanks to Brian B. for that tip. For those who think blazers without brass/gold buttons look like orphaned suit jackets (plenty of us think don’t think that and prefer the less Yacht club, tonal buttons), they’ve got their Club Blazers on sale as part of this deal. Thinkin’ they’ll get dumped into the sale section at some point and see major, further cuts… probably due to those buttons.
Also worth a mention
- UNIQLO: They’ve dropped their free shipping threshold to $50 (from $75). Also, they’ve got many of their polos (not the MB line) marked down to $14.90.
- Club Monaco: Extra 30% off sale w/ APRIL30.
- JC Penney: $10 off $25, $30 off $100 w/ LEOPARD2. In store coupon is here.
- GILT: They’ve got their own brand, Wall + Water shoes up for sale. Usually right around $200 or so, and made in Italy. But only returnable for Gilt credit, and no word what the construction is like. That’s a tough sell.
Can anyone give me a quick guide to the J Crew Factory chino fits? At regular J Crew I generally prefer the urban slim fit. Factory has Narrow, slim, and straight. They say slim is their slimmest fit but don’t provide leg opening measurements for any of their fits. I need some new chinos and at 50% off these are pretty tempting.
Looks like I will be adding a few CT extra slim fits today. Thanks for the heads up!
I haven’t tried the chino, but I tried the slim bedford pant (only $3 more on sale or something like that)…and promptly ordered two more pairs. Frankly, I was looking to round out my stock of slightly pricier pants and ended up finding what is now one of my favorites. Tip: the “navy” looks like a slightly funky navy in the picture, but is completely normal dark navy in person.
Also note that the AE Anniversary sale is happening at their Factory stores as well. Head over here for an inventory list in your size: http://www.aexnet.com:89/FactorySecondInventory.php
Has anyone checked out the Merona tailored fit blazers in person that might be able to offer a comparison? For that price, looks like it could be a pretty amazing steal if it’s halfway decent.
Charles Tyrwhitt would OWN MY SOUL if they offered extra slim in 36″ sleeve lengths.
Fortunate for my soul, at least. I’ll stick with Cottonwork.
Definitely hitting up Target this weekend to see what the in-store prices are looking like.
I’d say that JCF is in general less of a trim fit than J. Crew proper. Since the Urban Slim is pretty narrow, I’d go with the JCF slim.
I bought them and love them. I’d say the fit is comparable to the old (discontinued?) Merona Kensington, but maybe a hair snugger. The material moves a little bit better, but has an interesting corded texture which makes it feel oddly durable. I’m 5’11”, 185 lbs and bought a large. Arms are a hair long and there’s just a little extra room in the body. But for $30 I am very happy. (Also, the grey that they are selling looks much closer to a slate blue in person. Not sure why they’re not offering a navy color).
Extremely helpful, thank you!
Any reviews of the Target boot? Looks pretty drab on the Target website but the picture above gives it a nice beeswax finish kind of look. Actually in general there seems to be a disconnect between how their shoes look online and in person.
Just placed a Target order: Blazer (Olive), Merona chino shorts (from yesterday’s BBQ post), a Merona web belt, and of course some toddler stuff for my little girl. We’ll see, but for $30 for a blazer seems like too good a deal to pass up. Also seems kinda crazy that I had to order $20 more stuff to get the free shipping for it all.
with the CT shirts, anybody got any insight as to a 6’2″ 200lbs guy would want slim or extra slim?
Anyone have any experience with the casual CT shirts? I love the trim fit dress shirts, but looking for a soft white casual shirt. They size S M L, not by numbers. I’m a 15.5 / 33 in the dress shirts. Thinking about the M in the casual if anyone thinks they are good.
I was just by there yesterday, and I thought that boot looked pretty good. On the one they had on display, the stitching at the toe on the right shoe was a little messed up (crept up onto the toe). So there’s certainly some QA/QC issues to look out for and I can’t speak to the durability, but if you give the ones you’re buying a good inspection, I think it could be a good deal.
Regarding the Target sale, it appears in-store is 20% off Merona items only. Mossimo items were not on sale. However, if you order online and opt to pick up in store, you still get the greater sale price, which looks to be 50% off Merona and 20% off Mossimo and can avoid the shipping charges if under the $50 threshold. Also nice if you want those t-shirts and shorts for the weekend. (And since I’m in Vegas, I DO want them for this weekend.)
I just went through last night, it looked like just about everything in mens was 20% off, which is consistent with a few of these prices (boots and tees, at least).
Was in there yesterday, and that’s about what I observed. The shorts looked great, both chino and some chambray-textured ones (though mostly in very light colors). I even thought their OCBDs looked pretty good for under $20, though I didn’t try on or buy (struggling to keep my apparel spending down for the time being).
How do you go about purchasing these? I know there is a thread for it somewhere, I just can’t find it
CT Extra Slim is definitely slimmer than Brooks Brothers Extra Slim, if that helps at all.
Second doug’s comments. Many thanks!
Did a post about it not too long ago: https://dappered.com/2014/03/the-suggestion-allen-edmonds-2nds-quality-sales/
tl;dr – Call 207-865-6222
I must say, I’m quite disappointed by that unstructured Target blazer. Bought it in khaki last week, and it came in yesterday. Button stance is high, and it’s a little too long in general for me. I’ll be returning it.
JCF slim is very comparable to the Urban Slim. JCF just doesn’t have a similar fit to J. Crew’s 484.
I just bought a few with 36″ sleeves. 16.5″ neck, fwiw.
Sadly.
Thanks for the heads up — you’re right, it’s my 15.5″ neck being troublesome.
Kinda depends, I think. I’m the same height and weight, but have an athletic build (39″ hips, 33″ waist), so I went with extra slim.
Target brick and mortar will price match target.com.
I’m pretty sure their narrow and slim are the same… looks like they switched the name to “narrow” and missed an item or two. The photos and descriptions are identical from what I could tell.
I can already see myself in the olive color Kensington jacket (dark denim, light blue shirt, gray suede boots) But just not sure if the size Small is small enough for a 5’6″ guy with an athletic build. Anyone care to chime in?
Take a look at the size charts. They have it broken out for each of the fits and they’re relatively accurate. For reference, measure a shirt that you own that fits you perfectly.
To be fair, some elephants are slimmer than BB ESF.
Ok, not really… but screw them for not making a slimmer cut. Your comparison is definitely accurate btw.
Are the sleeve “buttonholes” just stitched and not cut or are they actual working buttonholes? (Hoping for the former)
I’m looking at picking up some AEs on sale, but need some help deciding what to would be best to round out my shoe collection for the office (CPA/Accounting office). I currently have these:
1.) Park Avenues: Black and Merlot.
2.) Mercanti Fiorentini: Blucher wingtips in brown
3.) Lands End Blue Suede Shoes w/ Red Brick Rubber Sole
4.) Strands: Walnut
5.) Wolverine 1ks in Cordovan #8.
Most of these get at least one wear every other week. The wingtips and strands are moreso given they are more versatile for my typical work attire(Chinos 3 or 4 times a week, wool slacks 1 or 2 times, but Houston summer is coming and these will likely fall out of rotation completely.) I’m really not all that happy with the Mercanti’s, in terms of quality or profile. I’d like to replace these, but I could also live with them if I had to.
My eyes are currently eyeing the McAllisters and the Moras. I’ve considered these options: the Brown McAllisters to replace my Mercantis, or possibly the Bourbon, the Moras in Bourbon and keep the Mercantis, or splurge and pick up Brown/Bourbon McAllisters and Brown/Bourbon Moras.
Any insight guys?
I posted this yesterday. Might be relevant.

I can’t take credit for it (actually found the link in Dappered Threads), but there’s now an online filter to find what’s in stock in your size for seconds, with pictures so you can actually see what the shoe is rather than just a name. Still need to call or email to order.
http://www.aexnet.com:89/FactorySecondInventory.php
Ha, I was just about to ask about that button stance. Online it really looks quite strange b/c of the proportions. Thanks for confirming.
not functional/not working. just stitched.
Make sure to give the blazer an impartial look. The website makes the button stance look very high and the proportions look pretty strange. Don’t just keep it because it’s cheap. I have like 3 blazers in my closest that collect dust. Despite how inexpensive they were, it ends up being wasted money if they don’t look right.
Can anyone comment on the color of the J.Crew Beckman? I’m wanting some darker brown Beckman’s, but these seem almost tan. I already have some Brogue Rangers and 1907s which are both in that color territory, so I’m trying to find something different.
Patiently awaiting the cigar Beckmans to go on sale.
They might want you to go in-store over online?
Looks like the Target blazer is already getting sold out. Does anyone know when (if?) Target restocks these things? Probably not in time for the sale, but I still want the gray…
Agreed. I just re-donated two thrift store blazers because I literally never wore them after purchasing. Wasted money and space even though it was “a deal”.
6’0″ 190 here. Not the hulk by any means, but can claim an athletic build. Went with the extra slim for my first CT. Fits great at the waist and through the torso, but if I put any effort into it I could hulk through it with my shoulders and lats. I’ve gone slim since and haven’t been dissapointed.
It depends how that guy prefers them to fit.
AT 6’4″ and usually 190ish..and even at 200lbs today after a lot of eating last week…extra slim is my preference. There is still a little bit of room with the extra slim fit, so it’s not like a guy who does squats trying on skinny jeans.
Agreed. Total, complete self promotion. See #10 here: https://dappered.com/2013/08/11-questions-to-ask-before-buying-a-new-piece-of-clothing/
Sounds like a reasonable suggestion you’ve made already. Upgrade your browns to something you like.
Nice review. That jacket looks good on you, but I’d be concerned about that button stance (even on you), especially given that it’s unstructured (more flimsy). It will probably be prone to flopping open and looking a bit strange, especially while walking or standing anywhere with a breeze. I think it would also look odd on someone taller who’s not proportionally wider as well (in other words someone tall and slim, not tall and built).
Why do you think navy Blazers with brass buttons look like orphaned suit jackets? I almost never see suits with brass buttons, only Blazers.
Great, THIS guy again with his self-promotions. God, it’s like he thinks he owns the place.
I was a bit confused by that comment as well. I’m not sure if it was a typo or if I’m missing something.
Is that an AE generated site or has someone taken it upon themselves to get the list and then make a site out of it?
Great – thanks!
It’s all formatted exactly as AE’s site, and the inventory shown to me was up-to-date for the shoes I inquired about. So, no guarantee, but from my perspective it seems company owned.
How are the CT suits? I’ve been curious for a while. What is it comparable to?
Hey all,
Looking to get my first business casual navy blazer. Which of the JCF (chino, pique, wool) would look best with jeans and khakis?
Thanks a bunch for your help!
I’d personally opt for wool, no matter the brand. Can wear it year round if it’s not too thick, will look more professional when dressed up, and still looks the part if dressed down properly. Also, tagging off of a below conversation, make sure whatever you buy you love, otherwise you won’t use it as much even if it’s a great deal.
It depends more on how your weight is distributed than your height and weight. I’m about 175 5’10” with about a 41″ chest and 32″ waist. I went for the extra slim fit and it fits as well as any shirt i’ve ever tried off the rack (although I could take in the waist a little more, it’s close enough that I don’t want to spend the $15). Slim fit would probably have too much fabric for me on the sides.
I can take a pic when I get home from work. Mine seem to be more of that brown color near the laces
Does anyone know how long CT takes to ship. I ordered on April 11th, standard shipping and it says I should get it by April 29th. Is 18 days normal, BTW shipping to ATL
Jim–sounds like we have similar build. Haven’t tried CT shirts, but keep wanting to give them a go. Did you find the slim fit to still be tailored enough through the waist and torso that they wouldn’t need an extra trip to the tailor?
I’m 6’2″ 190# and I wear a CT ESF 16/36. The fit is pretty great. Just a touch tight across my lats but nothing crazy.
I have three of their shirts that fit well, but I feel like the quality just isn’t quite there. Even the Non-Iron shirts I have from them seem to wrinkly immediately after putting it on. Anyone else have a similar experience?
Have to agree with this. They positively balloon when tucked in.
18 days sounds long, but I would dare anyone to call CT shipping quick.
Well, crap. I ordered to wear to wedding, that I am leaving for on the 25th. Hopefully they over estimated the time, but I think I have to find another shirt just in case
The JCF narrow fit is not quite as slim as the slim fit. I personally think the narrow fit’s leg openings are too wide.
Anyone else getting an Internal Server Error message when the click on any of the three AE shoe links?
Took my order roughly 2 weeks to get to Boston. Aside from CT taking their time, international shipping has it’s flaws (customs, paperwork, taxes, sheer distance, etc.).
I…
looks pretty damn good to me for $30.

Typo/Poorly worded and then some. Meant to say that there are those of us who don’t think blazers with tonal buttons look like they’re orphaned. But for those that DO think that a blazer needs brass or gold buttons, the Club Blazers (with the brass buttons) are on sale.
Good grief, you guys actually read this crap?
I did, but to be honest I’m probably more likely to live with slight imperfection than I am to spend any additional money on tailoring for my shirts. If it helps my chest is about 44″ and my waist 34″.
I haven’t worn them myself, but I worked on a photoshoot over the weekend for Peter Field (www.peterfieldcustom.com, if you’re interested – right now custom mens accessories, but the product line should be expanding soon), and our model wore all CT suits. They looked and felt great to me – he had one or two that he hadn’t tailored yet that looked pretty darn nice right out of the box. Very solid, nothing crazy, no trendy skinny lapels or contrast stitching, just very solid. Definitely piqued my interest in purchasing one at some point. That said, he was a more athletic guy, so a scrawny dude like myself might not be able to fill one out as well.
Thanks for the feedback. I feel the same way about the tailoring aspect. I am 42″ chest and 34″ waist, athletic build as well so i am sure it would fit pretty similar. Appreciate the help!
I bought the boot for about $30 a couple months ago, definitely looks closer to a beeswax finish in person than online. Leather quality is decent, but not flimsy. Took a little bit of time to break it in at first, but now it feels pretty snug. One word of warning though, it seems as if I’ve developed dark spots on the toe and sides. I don’t know what’s the cause of that, as usually I see leather fading away and getting lighter, not the other way around. It still looks good, and I’d definitely buy it again. Works great as a beater pair.
I’m in Denver and shipping has been pretty quick for me. Last time I made a CT order I also made a J Crew order on the same day. CT order came in one day after JC order.
On him, in those pictures, absolutely. Despite the high button stance [potential] issues, I’d hang onto it I were him. For someone taller I’d be concerned, especially if they’re not built with the same proportions as him.
I’m 5’7″ and usually wear a 38s, and I couldn’t get the olive blazer above in small to work [I don’t think its the Kensington]. The sleeves and overall length were too long, which is a shame because I feel like the rest of the blazer fit and felt great, especially for $30. But I ordered it in S/M, and ended up returning both.
Agree 100%, which is actually why I’ve made the switch (slowly) to CT.
I’m 6′, 175, and wear a 38R suit jacket with a 32 waist. The CT ESF fits me great in my size.
People with similar proportions, however, have complained to me in the past as to how BB ESF seems too tight. I think those people are likely crazy and out of touch on modern cuts, but different stokes for different folks I guess.

It’s probably the same people who think they have the same measurements as you simply because their height and weight are close to yours. Frankly, that type of comparison foolishness is a plague on every single style forum / site I’ve ever seen.
“Hi, I’m 5’11”, 170 lbs, what size in this will work on me?”
“Omg, are you me?! What size is your chest?”
“38 chest”
“SIZE M WILL FIT YOU PERFECTLY B/C YOU ARE MY CLONE”
“omg yay!! ordered it!!!”
That, and many people think the bellowing of a shirt on the sides is actually how a shirt should fit. I admit I use to fall into the camp that probably didn’t care/notice as much, until a relative gifted me some MTM shirts through a local tailor. I’ve been spoiled since then, and can’t believe I ever wore some of the traditional fit shirts I cleared out of the closet 2 years ago or so.
I’d probably go purely MTM, but the ease of non-iron has kept me hooked on either BB ESF or CT ESF. BB has the better material/patterns, but CT definitely has the better fit.
thanks for posting the CT link, I picked up 3. Never bought a CT shirt, but from what I’ve seen, they seem pretty nice.
Hey thanks for that, I’ll just hold off on it and save myself the $30.
This GIF is like a license to print upvotes.
Well they’ll appear slightly reddish (obviously) and they certainly won’t pass as “brown”, but if you’re looking for a burgundy colored shoe and have situations to wear it in, that’s your call. If you NEED a dark brown shoe, these are not dark brown. If you grab them, make sure you grab a similarly colored belt.
I almost pulled the trigger on these in the blue, I was proud of myself for my restraint.
Sadly I was not so strong today and jumped on the 2nds sale posted here for AE.
I’m a weak man.
Really wanted to test these out, but found out they don’t make a 15/34.
Merlot – or as it was more traditionally known, oxblood – is a well-established shoe colour for business. Shade is important, with the usual suggestion that the shoe be darker than the pants for formality’s sake.
The hint of red does make certain colours mismatched, but the exceptions are rare.
Joe, how much freakin protein are you eating? 180lbs? I remember when you were my size!
I stopped by target today. I didn’t see those blazers but the shirts were on sale in store. Not sure about the pants, there was no sign on them but I didn’t price check. I did notice something interesting though
http://m.target.com/p/merona-men-s-belt-brown-with-silver-buckle/-/A-14360931
Anyone see this belt before? All genuine leather, very nice buckle, and made in the USA. Msrp $19.99. Also some of the Merona cotton/silk blend ties look pretty nice. I might pick one up if it hits the clearance rack.
The grey Merona blazer has sold out online. Too bad, that’s the one I was looking for, and they don’t even sell the tan one! Guess olive will have to do…for now.
Dont forget those mossimo polos, some sizes are gone now but i really like the 3 i got
They see me rollin’. They hatin’.
I’m 6′, 175 lbs, and the Medium Slim OCBDs fit me well, too. HOWEVER, I find that a 15.5″ x 35″ CT Extra Slim fits me the best of anything out there. The OCBDs have too much extra fabric in the back, whereas a CT Extra Slim (again, for me at least) is just right.
That being said, I imagine a ‘Medium’ could cover a range of sizes. I would definitely suggest figuring out your shirt size before ordering. Measuring your neck width / arm length is pretty easy, especially with a helper. Also, you don’t need to buy 5 shirts to get the cheap pricing. Maybe try just one?
I travel 50% for work, and I exclusively wear CT non-irons. They do the trick for me. Maybe just a bum shirt or two for you?
All my work shirts are CT and I love them, but I was disappointed by the single casual shirt I bought. It’s a medium and baggy as heck. I wear 15.5 / 35, so you would probably find it baggy, too.
Sorry a little late on posting, and not optimal lighting.. But posted with some beeswax desert boots
The verdict: The blazer’s going back.
Quite simply: it’s too small. Otherwise, it’s great! Linen piping details inside, nice trim cut overall. Solid-yet-soft feel to the rib-textured fabric. I really wish I could keep it. But be warned. Size up if you can. The sleeves were laughably short (like 2.5 – 3″ above my wrist-short), and I couldn’t button it. All the concern about button height is pretty moot if they’re not buttonable. I’d have worn the heck out of this … if I could have.
Factory Thompson Unconstructed Sportcoat in Linen – $84.00 ($168)
Label claims it is lined in 100% acetate. There’s lining in the sleeves only. I usually get 38R (Alfani Red/BR Trim), and the medium is a tad more (maybe an inch?) in the shoulders but can work fine.
Waist is humongous, around 2 fists. Definitely needs to be taken in, plus the usual sleeve tailoring.
Wonder if the small would be a better (lazier) option.
Any thoughts on how the Extra Slim versus the Classic Fit work with respect to staying tucked in? I was considering getting Classic Fit shirts and having them tailored to get the longer tail (I’m 6’3″ish), but if it’s not a big deal, then I’ll save my money and just get the Extra Slim.
I dont know the differences in length vs. the Classic Fit, as I have only purchased the Extra Slim Fit, but as a point of reference, I am 6’1 usually in 16.5 x 35 and the length is plenty long enough to stay tucked in for the whole day. This is also only in their dress shirts, I dont know how the casual fit shirts lengths are. Sometimes they are cut shorter, to be worn untucked. Hopefully this helped some.
Very helpful – thank you for responding and so quickly at that! I am looking for some French cuff shirts. One of my favorite shirts is an old Roberto Villini 16.5 34/35 that is fraying a bit – I had it tailored so that it wouldn’t blouse, but the length seems similar and after the tailoring it stayed tucked in very well. Unfortunately, RV was exclusively sold by S&K Menswear and they went bankrupt a few years back, so I can’t go that route again (their suits weren’t the greatest, but I really loved those shirts). I have a friend who swears by CT Shirts and the reviews here seem to be glowing, so I thought I’d give them a go. Thanks again for your help!
