Monday Sales Tripod – USA Made Briefcases, Lightweight Sportcoats, & More

The Thursday Handfuls are great, but what if Monday (or Tuesday) rolls around and there are a few sales that can’t wait til the weekend? You’ll find three of the best, with a few picks from each, to start the week below.

 

#1. Banana Republic: 40% off + Extra 10% off w/ BONUS

• Unlined Lightweight Blue Blazer in Slim or Standard Fit – $106.92 ($198)
• SLIM Luxe Touch Polo – $24.03 ($44.50)
• Heritage 50% Cashmere 50% Linen Sweater – $69.12 ($128)
• Heritage Trooper Pant with COOLMAX Technology – $42.93 ($79.50)
• Slim Solid Performance Stretch Wool Dress Pant – $63.72 ($118)
• Italian Wool & Silk Seersucker Suit Jacket & Pant in Slim or Standard – $306.72 ($568) shown top of post

BR Picks are out, and sadly that means Rapid Movement Denim is out this time, but most of the rest of the site seems to be fair game? No need for a GAP inc credit card this time around. 40% comes off automatically, and then use BONUS at checkout to knock an additional 10% off. Really liking the looks of that light blue cotton blazer. Sure appears that the back is unlined? Terrific reviews online too. UPDATE: Big thanks to reader Tony C. for sending in a tip about that blazer. Turns out the only thing that’s lined on it is the sleeves. “Stupendous” is the word he used to describe it.

 

#2. Gustin: Their USA Made Briefcase is Back for $249

Yes, the price did jump by fifty bucks since these debuted by Gustin, but $249? Still awfully fair. Cut from Horween’s Chromexcel #8. Brass hardware. Made in California. Ships out at the end of August or early September.

 

#3. J. Crew: 25% off Select + 40% off Sale Items w/ YAYCLOTHES

• Lightweight Garment-Dyed Chino Pant in 770 Straight Fit – $42 ($75)
• Ludlow or Crosby Fit Italian Chino Suit Jacket & Pant – $342 ($456) khaki or blue
• Kaihara Denim 1040 Athletic Jean in Riverton Wash or Cheshire Wash – $35.99 ($98 – $125)
• Cotton Shawl Collar Cardigan – $88.50 ($118)
• Abingdon Weekender Bag – $171 ($228)
• Kenton Crepe-Sole Chukka Boots – $148.50 ($198)
• French Linen Cardigan – $67.12 ($89.50)

Still no discount on their fantastic summerweight sportcoats… but at $168 those seem like a plenty fair price. Lots of exclusions, as is usually the case, but plenty of wheelhouse goods are getting the cut too.

 

BONUS Massdrop: RE Shades & Junghans Watches

• Randolph Engineering Aviators – $109.99 FINAL ($149)
• Junghans Max Bill Quartz Watch – $399.99 FINAL ($549)

A couple of well made accessories for a somewhat steep price. $110 for REs is pretty good, but when their competitor American Optical can be had for much less… well… (yet there are some noticeable differences between these two American Made aviators). And those Junghaus watches. That’s a LOT for a quartz. But by golly are they amazing looking.

 

Also worth a mention on a Monday

• Brooks Brothers: Their Semi-Annual Sale runs through 6/27.
• CountyComm: 10% off w/ DAD (expires today)
• Jomashop: It’s quite specific, but Jomashop has this Tissot Automatic Chronograph “T-Navigator” on mega sale for $349 after you use the code FD100. That’s… pretty damn cheap for an automatic chronograph. 44mm case size. Casual/Sporty for sure.
• J. Crew Factory: Extra 30% off + free shipping w/ PARTYON
• Allen Edmonds Shoebank: Their Tent Sale savings event on Factory 2nds runs clear through 6/25.
