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.
J. Crew: Extra 40% off Sale Items w/ SALEFUN (+ new additions)
- Filson Rugged Twill Brief in Navy/Otter Green – $155.99 FINAL ($275)
- Micro Houndstooth Cotton Sportcoat – $59.99 FINAL ($188)
- Billykirk Made in the USA Travel Kit – $65.99 FINAL ($155)
- Ludlow suit jacket & slim or classic pant in Japanese Seersucker – $255.60 (not final? Maybe?)
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…. well that’s a hell of a price on a Filson (don’t expect it to last long? UPDATE: It’s gone). Same goes for the sportcoat. The J. Crew site has that cotton sportcoat appearing much lighter than it really is. That’s about right in the pic shown above ^. Also, that’s a medium pre-tailoring, and it needed some work at the sides. Thicker than expected, but still a really good casual sportcoat. Especially for $60 (but it is final sale). Yes, it’s another J. Crew additional 40% off sale items code, but there’s a good chunk of new additions to the sale section. Just watch out for final sale.
Huckberry: Antoine Arnaud Watch Sale
- Spirit of St. Louis Quartz Chrono in White/Autumn Green – $199.99 ($245)
- Chocolate/Brown – $199.99 ($245)
- Midnight/Black – $199.99 ($245)
- White/Brown – $199.99 ($245)
This brand was launched via an indiegogo campaign that started a year ago, and it sure appears that they succeeded and are now at full production. These things run off Miyota Quartz chronograph movements, and the crystal is mineral instead of Sapphire, but man… look at em’. It appears they nailed the vintage dress-chrono look. Now being sold for just a hair under $200 via Huckberry (they of “Eliminator” fame). $4.95 to ship, and you can return it for original form of payment, but you are on the hook to pick up return shipping costs.
B.R. Extra 40% off Sale Items w/ BRFORTY
- White Slim Fit Stretch Poplin Shirt – $25.19 ($59.50)
- Woven Stretch Belt – $26.99 ($49.50)
- Partially Lined Tailored Fit Navy Cotton Blazer – $143.99 ($250)
- Adrian Double Monk Strap (in black) – $77.99 ($139.99)
- Silk/Linen V-neck Sweater – $30ish ($69.50)
- Performance Feeder Stripe Polo – $19.79 ($39.50)
Not quite as impressive as last weekend’s 40% off everything (no exclusions) / extra 50% off sale items promotion, but that was just flat out unheard of. An extra 40% off an already marked down item at BR is worth a spin. Their white stretch poplin is a great basic shirt, decent for layering under a light blazer for summer, or under a sweater for fall, and feedback has been positive on that patch pocket cotton sportcoat. Partially lined there, so that’s a big plus.
Brooks Brothers: Extra 15% off w/ ENJOY15 (+ clearance)
- Levi’s for BB Made in the USA Trucker Jacket – $84.15 ($198)
- Goodyear Welted Leather Moccasin Boots – $177.31 ($298)
- Italian made Suede Kiltie Tassel Loafer – $177.32 ($298)
- Diamond Quilted Blazer – $126.65 ($298)
- Made in the USA Slim Laptop Case – $177.31 ($298)
Nice of Brooks Brothers to throw the extra 15% off code ENJOY15 out into the web wilderness while their clearance section still has some good stuff in it. Sure, lots of it is autumn related, but fall will fall once again. Maybe. Here’s to hoping. Yes, the code does work on most everything on the site, not just clearance. But… c’mon now.
Bonobos: Extra 25% off Sale Items w/ SPF25
- White Seersucker Shirt in Standard or Slim – $36.00 ($88)
- Summerweight Purple Check Shirt – $43.50 ($78)
- Foundation Cotton/Linen Suit Jacket & Pant – $217.50 ($450)
- Straight Oxleys in Grey or Indigo, or Slim Oxleys in Grey or Indigo – $43.50 ($98)
It’s not easy to find a bright white seersucker shirt for a reasonable price (lookin’ at you J. Crew). But forty bucks with free shipping both ways? That’s doable. Meanwhile, there’s a few styles of their summer-appropriate foundation suit separates now down to the mid-low $200s. Code SPF25 expires today.
Reminder: Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Starts TOMORROW
Sneak Peak: See selections from the sale in the Catalog here
Cardholders already have access, but for those of us who don’t have a Nordstrom card (Credit or Debit) we’re anxiously awaiting the launch of their outstanding anniversary sale tomorrow. It’s easily a top 3 sale of the year, and frankly, might be the best one out of em’ all. It’s not a clearance, (like the half-yearly) but instead a sale focused on just released goods for the upcoming season, as well as year-round favorites marked down to prices you just don’t see on Nordstrom (and often, anywhere else) for the rest of the year. Expect a full breakdown dark-and-early here on the site.
Also worth a mention
- Declaration Clothing: They’ve been kind enough to offer 20% off through the weekend with DAPPERED
- Lands’ Ends: 40% off their line of shoes, which drops their chukkas to $60
- Club Monaco: Extra 30% off Sale Styles w/ WANTMORE
- J. Crew Factory: Their Chino Suit Jacket (which works well as a cotton blazer) is down to $84.
- Amazon
: Big hat tip to Ryan N. in the comments for pointing out that Amazon’s deal of the day is a selection of Timex Weekender Slip-thrus for $19.99
Quite worth mentioning – Amazon’s Deal of the Day is $20 Timex Weekenders.

Well there goes the Filson…
Thinking about that J. Crew sportcoat, but I really hate S/M/L sizing. I’m generally a 38R, and the M supposedly covers both 38 and 40, so I fear it’ll be too big.
Yes, the seersucker shirt is $36.
Joe – in addition to the Chukkas, the Lands End Fulton Penny loafter is going for $90. Description says they’re fulll grain leather & welted instead of glued. I’ve ordered a pair to get a look-see. Could end up being a steal at that price.
Right there with you. And if I go with the small, chances are it will be too snug. Curse of the Smedium strikes again.
damn. Wish I would have noticed the sale on the filson bag earlier.
I’m right about a 39R…wear a 40 in the Ludlow but a 38 in the Bonobos Foundation. The Small fits me wonderfully! I’m also 6’3″ and it really doesn’t seem too short, considering it’s a casual Summer sportcoat.
Based on the reviews on the product page, I decided to take a chance on the small. We’ll see.
Apparently Nordstrom has had some technical issues with their website for early access for cardholders. As such, they are giving out a generic login to view the early sale. You still need to have a card to purchase but you can browse by entering “9561” for last 4 digits of the code, “Nordhouse” for the last name, and “80112” for the zip. So far I’ve found the sale a little disappointing (esp for coats). Shoes seem to be the winner. Dress shirt markdowns were better during the 1/2 yearly for men. Hopefully things get slashed further over the next few weeks.
Those Oxleys are sooooo tempting. And the “light grey” (looks khaki) foundation suit looks like it’s coming in at $217.50 with the lower price.
Must. Control. Spending.
Thanks! My wife’s just broke, so she needs a new one.
Price tracker says that’s the lowest it’s ever been, and I can’t turn down a deal.
Only quandary was whether to succumb to the pure summer sex-appeal of the Navy/Yellow striped band, or the yearlong love the Blue/Gray strap would provide me. Then I realized I can switch out the band so went with the one that had the blue second hand…because I sure likes me some sexy.
I’m usually a 40s. If small isn’t short on you in sleeve length, it’ll seem comically long on my 5’7″ frame. I’m gonna have to pass.
Great mention! Fastest $20 I’ve ever spent – Navy/Yellow w/ blue secondhand.
nice. I just posted a link to this in the “Deals” forum as well. Glad to see it’s being mentioned out here too.
I love the navy/yellow strap and bought that watch originally. Didn’t like the loud tick of the second hand, so I returned it for a different watch, (with a blue second hand). I have half a mind to re-buy it just for the band though!
Was going to mention that as well.
Thanks for the info. Do they add more to the sale when it goes public? I was hoping to pick up some AE Daltons, but they’re not discounted.
Wow. Yes, thanks for this. That’s a great overnight price drop. Man, I need to stay the heck away from that grey summer suit.
Updated above. And yes to your last note. I… really want that suit.
I have both of the Oxleys and they have been amazing. Perfect for the heat and look right at home in the office. I highly recommend them, especially at that price.
That’s one heck of a deal!
I own them and wear them regularly. They’ve held up pretty well for about 2 years. Worth it if you’re in the market for a dressy penny loafer.
I am also 5’7″ and usually wear one size-ish smaller than Joe for jackets. He wears a 38R/40R and is pictured in a medium. I wear a 38S in ludlow and ordered the small. Crossing fingers.
Important caveat for first timers: stylish as it is, this is easily the loudest watch I have ever owned. Whenever I can’t find it, I know to look in my sock drawer because that’s where my girlfriend throws it when she’s trying to go to bed in the same room with it.
So is $217 a really good price for the foundation suit? And it also looks like the “khaki” foundation suit is the same price.
I concur – this year’s sale is not on the same level as previous years. The only real “deals” that I’ve seen are for the Red Wing moc boots at $160.
Is this as cheap as the oxleys get? Haven’t got on the Bonobos train yet.
Done, got the navy/yellow stripe. I put my brown/olive strapped Weekend in a drawer at night. Definitely worth picking up.
i’m 5’9, I wear 36s in ludlow. Small is pretty long probably similar possibly longer than 36R in length.
Great price,but it looks like blue and gray slim straights are not available in many sizes (as to be expected)…
Lowest they go is into $30’s, however, there will be very limited size choices. At mid $40’s they are a good deal, if you are looking for Oxford summer pants.
you guys just saved me 10 bucks on the seersucker shirt. Got it less than 2 weeks back and they price matched. Also fantastic shirt – material and fit spot on for both not tucking in with shorts and tucking in with pants.
Thanks for the info, Jack. How well does the leather take polish and conditioning?
Picked this up at 50% off in-store over the weekend- wear 38R regularly and small fits well. J crew 38 is slightly large for me, and 36 too tight.
Joe, you should really start covering yoox sales. 70% off and plenty of soft shouldered blazers and monkstraps.

Managed to snag these seersucker Bowery slim pants in store at 50% discount
It’s a pretty hardy leather, I polish them weekly, they’ve really held
Up nicely.
The Bonobos seersucker shirt is now 40% off with the code “GETITSHIRTY” … not sure when it’s expiring, but that drops the shirt to $28.80 (slim) and $34.80 (regular).
