OCBDs, New Year’s Eve Blazers, & More

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, plus bonus sales if need be. Included are a few picks worth pointing out.

J. Crew Factory: 30% off + Free Shipping No Min. w/ TREAT

Unconstructed Thompson Sportcoat in Twill – $57.75 ($82.50)
Bedford Pant in Navy Wool Blend – $34.29 ($48.99)
Brushed Twill Popover – $27.65 ($39.50)

NOTE: These prices are what was showing up at post time (aprox. 7am ET). Factory has a tendency to adjust their prices AFTER a sale has launched. So, those might change as the day progresses. But for now? Under $60 for that sportcoat is just plain silly. In a good way. Full review here. Code expires today, 12/18/14.

B.R.: Select Items “Procrastinator’s Event” + 30% off w/ BRFORYOU

Tailored Fit Navy Corduroy Blazer – $125 ($198)

Got that? So it’s basically a select items sale event, including a bunch of blazers and suit jackets, and for those items that aren’t usually excluded (like blazers & suit jackets) you can knock an extra 30% off with BRFORYOU. That navy blazer is gonna look all kinds of right on New Year’s Eve. Discount works out to about 35% off.

Orient: 40% off Sitewide w/ HOLIDAYS

Rectangle Dial Producer Automatic – $150 ($240)
Bambino Automatic – $156 ($260)
Orient Vintage Power Reserve Automatic – $279 ($465)

Usually Orient sticks to 30% off codes for their US site, so the extra 10% worth o’ discount juice is well appreciated. Might want to scan Amazon depending on the model/color choice. Sometimes Amazon can have their longer running models for less (for example, Amazon is currently carrying the blue dial “Ray” for $150. Same watch is $177 via Orient). Shipping cutoffs can be found here. In person review for the Producer is here, reviews for the Bambino are here and here, and the review for the Vintage Power reserve is here. Code HOLIDAYS expires tomorrow, 12/19.

Brooks Brothers: 25% off Site Wide

The Filson Original Briefcase in Navy or Tan – $186.00 ($248)
Deerskin Driving Gloves – $63.00 ($168)
Cedar Shoe Valet & Shine Kit – $96 ($128)

Well then. Last week it was 20% off site wide, and now it’s 25% off. Free shipping no minimum is still going on too. Filson is still up for the cut. No code needed here. Works on the sale section as well (see the extra discount given to the Deerskin Driving Gloves). Hat tip to Keith F. for the tip on this one. What’s all in the shine kit? Good question. Here’s the answer, and you can fit a heck of a lot more in there than just what it shows up with.

J. Crew: Extra 40% off Sale Items & 30% off Select Full Price w/ GIFTNOW

Ludlow Sportcoat in Italian Cotton – $159.60 ($228)
Kenton Suede Pacer Goodyear Welted Boots – $113.99 ($248)
Cashmere Wide Rib Cap – $47.99 ($98)
Ludlow Sportcoat in Heathered English Wool – $137.99 ($328)
Broadmoor Quilted Sportcoat – $95.99 ($198)

Hang on a second. They decided to reintroduce their fantastic, barely there cotton sportcoat… in December? That Italian Cotton Sportocat made it to the top of the list of the best sportcoats/blazers of the Spring & Summer. And then it sold out, and was gone from the earth. But now it’s back? Unlined. Nice fabric. Great cut if you like the Ludlow fit. Also now available in black. A nice blazer to have on hand if you either A. Live in a warmer than normal area, or B. Run hotter than most.

BONUS UNIQLO: OCBDs + other casual shirts are down to $19.90

The Pick: OCBD Slim? Fit Shirt – $19.90 ($29.90)

Strange. These don’t say “slim” fit, but those that do say “slim” fit on the tag are almost all sold out. And those without the tag? They’re called “slim” in the description. Um… sure. Perfect for layering under sweaters.
