It’s over. It’s all over. It’s just starting. Sorta. We’ve now reached peak end of season clearance time in the world of retail. Instead of the usual Monday Tripod, here’s a round up of the best of what’s going on, end-of-year-sale-wise, in the world of affordable men’s style.
Allen Edmonds: Extra 25% off Sale Styles (no code needed)
- Randolph Engineering Matte Chrome 55mm Aviator – $149.97 ($349)
- Randolph Engineering Matte Black 55mm Aviator – $149.97 ($349)

- Fifth Avenue Cap-Toe Oxford in Mahogany – $261.75 ($395)
The Randolph Engineering Sunglasses are steal-alert-post worthy in and of themselves. Those are a major surprise. Wouldn’t expect those to last long. Made in the USA and super high quality.
Banana Republic: Extra 60% off FINAL sale styles
- BR SPORT Motion Tech Jogger – $28.79 FINAL ($90)
- Slim Core Temp Pant in Navy or Jupiter Gray – $31.19 FINAL ($98)
- Slim Motion Tech Jogger – $34.79 FINAL ($109)
- Truckee Plaid Wool Scarf – $23.59 FINAL ($70)
- Herringbone Wool Scarf – $23.59 FINAL ($69.50)
- Buffalo Plaid Wool Scarf – $23.59 FINAL ($70)
- Untucked Standard-Fit Flannel Shirt – $28.39 FINAL ($89.50)
- Heathered Merino Waffle-Knit Sweater- $41.19 FINAL ($129)
- Utility Shawl-Collar Cardigan Sweater – $63.99 FINAL ($200)
Much better than a quick glance might indicate. Certainly worth scrolling if you’re a BR Fan. More than a handful of new, fall/winter 2021 stock is in there. But it’s all final sale. No returns guys. None. Zilch.
Lululemon: “We Made Too Much” FINAL SALE Post Holiday Specials
- Metal Vent Tech Short Sleeve Shirt 2.0 – $39 – $49 FINAL ($78)
- Thick Fleece Bomber – $99 FINAL ($168)
- Surge Warm Half-Zip – $59 FINAL ($108)
- ABC Jogger – $89 FINAL ($128)
- T.H.E. Linerless Short 9″ – $39 FINAL ($68)
A noticeable injection of new stock has taken place with their “we made too much” section. All final sale though. No returns. And yes, it’s mostly wild patterns and colors. That’s how it works with Lululemon. The solid stuff/normal colors sells too well on its own.
Spier & Mackay: 20% off w/ SPIER20 (exclusions apply)
- Charcoal Melton Peacoat – $358.40 ($448)
- Abraham Moon Moss Green Herringbone Flight Jacket – $206.40 ($258)
- Waxed Jackets – $278.80 ($348)
- Blue Check Wool Suit – $286.40 ($358)
- Charocal Wool Suit – $286.40 ($358)
- Medium Blue Wool Suit – $286.40 ($358)
Looks like most of their site is getting the cut, with one notable exclusion being the chunky merino shawl collar sweaters. But no surprise there. Remember, it’s a steep $15 to return anything unless it’s your first suit, sportcoat, or shoes purchase. But even with that return fee disincentive, a lot of us love Spier for the style + quality to price ratio. Code SPIER20 runs through Sunday January 2nd, 2022.

- Double-faced wool reversible scarf – $33.49 FINAL ($88)
- Thermal waffle lounge shorts – $24.99 FINAL ($69.50)
J. Crew is running an extra % off sale items code? Get the bleep out. There are some new items added at least. Still all (almost all?) final sale though. No returns. Code BIGSALE expires this Thursday, 12/30. UPDATE: They bumped this up to an extra 60% off on New Year’s Eve, but stock is pretty picked over now.
Taylor Stitch: Up to 30% off End of Year Sale
- Made in Italy Merino Blend Socks – $15.75 ($22.50)
- The Jack in Black Everyday Oxford – $68.60 ($98)
- The Chukka in Weatherproof Loden Suede – $238.40 ($298)
- The Merino Henley – $68.60 ($98) machine wash but lay flat to dry
Good gravy their Italian made socks are on sale. Got them on a whim (I think it was to trip a tiered discount threshold months back?) and I was stunned. They are the Golidlock’s, “perfect porridge” socks. Not too dressy. Not too casual. Just right. Sure some might prefer over the calf height for suits and dress trousers, but plenty of us will happily wear these with dress slacks and suit pants. That, and they have medium weight cushioning. Nothing majorly squishy, but not paper thin either. More than a few fun colors and patterns, but timeless all the same. And you can machine wash and dry them.
Mr. Porter: One of their rare sale events has launched
- Baracuta G9 Suede Harrington Jacket – $721 ($1,030)
- The North Face Karakoram DryVent Hooded Jacket – $110 ($220)

- Common Projects Track Classic Sneakers – $336 ($480)

Prepare yourself for sticker shock, and for higher-fashion styles. And know that their stock usually moves lightning fast during their rare sale events.

- The All Week Flex Pant – $90 ($119)

Random Jared Steal Alert: Mido Ocean Star Automatic – $465 ($930)
