Nordstrom Winter Sale 2/15 – 2/24
Is Nordstrom slowly starting to increase the number of sale events that they run? They don’t run many. The big Anniversary Sale pre-fall, a couple of half-yearly sales, and that used to be it. But this “winter sale” has seen the sale section swell from under 2000 items to almost 4000. So, that’s something. Especially when everything ships for free. Sure, it’s not as amazing as the aforementioned Anniversary or Half-yearly events, but it’s still worth a look. We scrolled through all those pages so you don’t have to.
Made in Italy GREATS Royale Sneaker – $119.93 ($179)
White leather, gum sole. Not bad for made in Italy too. Extremely well reviewed. Word is they run large so order the next size down?
Jack Erwin ” Joe” Cap Toe Oxford – $130.65 ($195)
Looks like a few Jack Erwin models are included in this sale. These are their basic, made in Spain, blake stitch, cap toe oxfords. A fair price at $195, and a nifty deal at $131. Full review here.
Norstrom Long Sleeve Polo – $35.70 ($59.50)
Basic, but Nordstrom’s house brand stuff usually punches above it’s weight. All cotton. Would look great under a knit sportcoat.
L.B.M 1911 Classic Fit Stretch Cotton Sport Coat – $416.98 ($695)
Meanwhile, on the other end of the price spectrum compared to those long sleeve polos… that’s a LOT of cash for a cotton sportcoat. But some guys swear by LBM 1911 and their offerings. I’m not one of them, personally, but I’m just some dope on the internet. 98% cotton and 2% stretch. Made in Italy.
1901 Made in Italy Wool or Wool/Cashmere Sportcoat – $209.40 ($349)
That’s more like it. Unconstructed, also made in Italy, and a HELL of a lot less expensive when compared to those LBM jackets. Oh, and these 1901 options are wool or wool/cashmere to boot. You can keep the cotton.
Robert Talbott Goodyear Welted Double Monks – $197.65 ($295)
I don’t know where they’re made (all it says is “imported”) but Goodyear welted double monks in a do-anything shade of timeless brown? With a medallion at the toe too? Not bad. Especially since you can get them in your hands, and on your feet, and return them in case they don’t work out (just try them out on carpet to keep the soles pristine and returnable).
Barbour Flyweight Chelsea Quilted Jacket – $137.40 ($229)
Not a bad price for a piece of heritage British designed outerwear. Just seeing the gray color for now?
Red Wing Unlined Leather Gloves – $55.24–$64.24 ($84.99)
Deerskin, made in the USA, and two colors to pick from. Lots to like for a casual glove.
Barbour Lutz Quilted Jacket – $161.40 ($269)
Gets a lot of things right. Diamond quilting. Belted collar. Couple of colors to pick from.
Jack Erwin Adam Wingtip – $130.65 ($195)
More Spanish made, sleek, Blake stitch goodness. A little more modern looking than most other wingtips. True oxford lacing here.
adidas originals Beckenbauer Track Jacket – $47.98 ($80)
Perfect for getting back and forth to the gym. And the fact that the pockets zip close is key. Why? Because track jackets almost always have pretty slick fabric. And if you’ve had something slide out of your pockets to/from the gym in the past (keys/wallet/earbuds), you know it’s a disaster waiting to happen. Fabric makeup is 52% cotton, 48% recycled polyester.
MVMT Forty Series “Black Silver” Watch – $71.98 ($120)
Nothing wild here. Simplicity and affordability. Also one of the five favorites from The Blue Stones. Here’s Tarek’s take on it: It’s just as wearable with a suit as it is with a T-shirt and jeans. Freaky, right?
Thomas and Vine Plain Toe Derby – $66.95 ($99.95)
A little funky (look at that lighter blue accents on the brown pair) but perhaps that’s what you’re going for at sixty seven dollars. Five different colors to pick from.
Golden Bear Waxed Cotton Car Coat – $399.90 ($650)
Cheap? Nope. Is it a timeless classic that’s made in the USA from waxed cotton? Yes. Yes it is.
Jack Erwin Hubert Longwing Derby – $97.49 – $130.65 ($195)
Goodyear welted and made in Spain. Not bad for $100 – $130. Brown will run you $130. Black is half off and just under $100.
The North Face Campshire Fleece Vest – $59.40 ($99)
I woulda killed for one of these in 1997. Now? They prove that fashion certainly is cyclical. And I have to admit… that off white option is giving off some pretty cool retro vibes.
1901 Richland Buck Shoe – $54.98–$73.70 ($110)
Bucks that aren’t clunky like traditional bucks. Studded rubber soles too. So, bucks that aren’t just for summertime? Price depends on which of the three colors you’re after.
adidas Tiro Soccer Training Pants – $32.98 ($45)
Because sometimes you need some new pants to get back and forth to the gym in.
John W. Nordstrom Classic Fit Plaid Wool Sport Coat – $299.40 ($499)
Made in Italy, 100% wool, and just partially lined.
1901 Bremerton Wingtip – $87.10 ($130)
From one of their younger leaning house brands. A basic wingtip blucher, which leans more casual than an oxford, but sleeker than your Dad’s or Grandpa’s wingers.
The Rail Fleece Jacket – $59.70 ($99.50)
My Grandmother had this exact same toilet lid cover.
This Nordstrom Winter Sale is scheduled to run clear through the 24th. Not sure what happens then… if these items go back to a full price, some get marked down further, prices stay the same, or it’s a combination of all three.
