Why hoedown? Too much to be called a handful.
This post will be updated over the next few days as more sales roll in.
Just a reminder though that come Monday we won’t be posting. On Monday, maybe consider spending some of that style budget on a donation to the USO, the EOD Warrior Foundation, Special Ops Warrior Fund, or another organization dedicated to our veterans and their families. A huge thank you to all of you in the readership who have served, as well as those who are currently serving.
Thought they’d have something extra up their sleeve. On Friday AM there was a noticeable infusion of stock to the sale section, and theybumped it up to an extra 60% off. That’s as deep as they’ll go. All final sale though. No returns.
Sneaky. Very Sneaky Huckberry. Did you think we weren’t gonna check back in? Picks above had at least a decent size selection at post time. Very few final sale items lurk, but there are a few in there. No returns on those. Anything over $98 (and not final sale) ships and returns for free. Like those adidas Terrex Free Hikers. Those are steal-alert worthy. Got a pair myself and wear them when it’s gonna be a long day/travel and running about and don’t know what’s in store. Mostly sneaker, but tough enough for some light boot duty. They’re popular enough that they’re often sold out. So $100 off is pretty crazy.
It’s a limited selection (appears to be just those items listed above), but it’s a rare discount from Maine shoemaker Rancourt & Co. Lots of sizes appear to be made-to-order, with a wait time of 6-8 weeks. But good gravy does Rancourt know how to do the heritage hand-crafted shoe “thing.” Even sneakers. Full review of those Bennetts can be found here (albeit in a different color)
Thank the style gods BR is actually running a sale. Haven’t seen a site-wide-ish (exclusions apply of course) sale since MARCH. 30% off this time, with 40% off if you’ve got a BR, GAP, or Old Navy credit card and use that BRCARD40 code instead. The times, they aren’t just a changin’, they’ve changed. But while the days of 50% or 40% off seem to be gone (for now? forever?) that doesn’t mean to some of us BR still isn’t one of the best style to good-value (not cheap feeling junk) propositions in the menswear world. Core Temps forever! Also, our guy Jason swears by those 100% Linen “Castello” shirts. He has three. Says they’re excellent.
Some of it is new, regular price stuff, some of it is already on sale. Not just shoes. Apparel too. The length and breadth of the Nike catalog of products continues to astound.
Very much not on sale, but still very much worth a mention. Some of us live in Lululemon’s warpstreme commission and ABC pants. And we’ve been waiting, patiently, for a restock for the warm and hot weather ahead. 30″ inseams have gotten restocked in the slim-fit ABC (5 pocket style) in three wheelhouse colors. FWIW I wear my dark gray “obsidian” all the time (albeit in the classic fit, which still hasn’t been restocked in 30″).
Okay then. That’ll do. While it doesn’t apply to factory 2nds, that DOES mean these picks should be first quality AND they’ll ship and return for free. RE those Fifth Avenues: If you want a Dainite sole, they have those too and they’ll run you $247 with the SALE25 code.
You’ve gotta be logged in (it’s nothing more than an email sign up) but 20% off a boatload of stuff at Mr. Porter for those who have an account with them. Just be warned that it’s spendy over in those parts. And weird. Very weird. Sometimes. Anyway, discount happens in your cart after you’ve logged in.
Keeping it classy with the picks here (although there’s plenty of basics, athleisure, etc. too). It’s select clearance. Not the entire clearance section. Prices are as marked online. And remember that with Nordstrom Rack stuff does NOT ship and return for free like it does with mainline Nordstrom. Free outbound shipping doesn’t kick in until $89, and returns will cost you a pre-paid label unless you can get it back, in person, to a Nordstrom Rack brick and mortar location.
24%off their 60% Merino wool, 30% Nylon, 10% Elastane Made in Italy socks. Plenty more than that too. But yeah those socks are something else. Taylor Stitch rarely runs (almost) site wide sales. This is one of those times. Free shipping and free returns helps too.
More J. Crew, but these are from their 30% off select full price/50% off “hot weather styles” deals. Extra picks here if you’d like them. Pretty much the exact same as the preview sale they ran the other day. Stretch chinos are excluded. As are their cotton/linen unsuits. Dang. Code SUMMER runs through Monday.
There’s actually quite a bit up for that MAY20 code this time around. Fewer exclusions than usual. Yes there are still exclusions of course. But fewer.
No chinos or other pants. Limited to tops/shorts/swim since they’re leaning into the “it’s now summer” vibes. Plenty of basics though. From chino shorts to e-waist shorts to printed button downs to tees.
A reminder that Country Attire is UK based, and you’re on the hook for international returns. Like, they tell you what their returns address is, and that’s all the help you get. Outbound shipping over $100 is free (which is nice). Under = $11.95 to get it to you. Birkenstocks and Dr. Martens appear to be the two notable exclusions. And remember, it has to be full price. No stacking with something already on sale.
Dress watches. Automatic dive-style. Dependable quartz divers with slip through straps. Full review of the American Documents collection can be found here.
A few winners in there. Not the biggest selection to pick from. And remember: If it’s your first suit or sportcoat purchase with them, they’ll cover the return charges. Otherwise it’s a $15 charge. They’re not a big company, so their bottom line gets hit pretty bad when it comes to the shipping costs.
Clearancey. Very Clearance-y. Everything ships and returns for free though, which is terrific.
A rare sale at Ledbury. Really, really nice shirts. Terrific fabrics and collars, two fits, and that perfectly placed second button, which has been a complete game changer (and by extension wallet wrecker) for those of us who wear dress shirts a lot without a tie. Still waiting on the fine-twill mid-spreads to come back into stock. Those haven’t landed yet. Fingers crossed that’s in the works. Note that it’s not just their shirts that are on sale. Most of the site is up for these tiers. But there are exclusions: Olivers, Faherty, HELM Boots, Druthers, Patara, SeaVees, Nectar, Metro Modern (furniture), TAFT, Ascot X Charile, Myles Apparel, Pistol Lake, Criquet, Shockoe Atelier, Maho, Nectar, Beltology, Tanner Goods, Tangier Pre-Sale, Made-to-Measure suiting and shirting, Bespoke shirting, gift cards, sleeve shortening, and Year of Shirts.
“But doesn’t CT do shirts?” Yes, yes they do. BUT. They do much, much more than shirts. And they’re pretty good at that other stuff. Head here for an in person look at their Goodyear welted shoes (specifically some suede chelsea boots). Orders ship from the UK, shipping is pretty spendy, and returns will cost you an $8.95 returnfee. Which, isn’t half bad, considering it’ll have to eventually head back to the UK.
No personal experience with Madewell. Just heard good things, and some people swear by their jeans. 3rd party is not surprisingly excluded. Those sunglasses could be timeless winners.
The (deal) Pick: 25% off Made in the USA Smartwool Socks $10.73 – $25.83
And you don’t have to be a member to partake. Some items are member exclusives, others are up for anyone to pick up at a discount. Like those USA Made Smartwool socks. No-shows. Athletic socks. Socks that can be used for casual or smart casual wear. Hard not to really like Smartwool.
Not the most thrilling goods, but those Bushacre 3s are a vast improvement over the old version. Head here for a full review.
New items added to their sale section here. No additional discounts as of post time. Todd Snyder has a foot in both the timeless and the trendy camps. They just charge a lot. But that’s because their stuff is built really well. Still out of range for a lot of us, but fun to window shop and maybe grab a deal here and or there. Watch out for final sale stuff. No returns on any items tagged as such.
A reminder that END. is based in the UK. So while prices might be lower than you’re expecting, and they might carry items hard to find stateside, you’re on the hook for international returns. Woof. You might want to consider anything above as final sale. That’d be a major a pain in the rear. Outbound international shipping is pretty reasonable though. $9.99 via FedEx, with free shipping on orders over $250. Lots of shoes. They go by UK sizes with the shoes, so use those conversion charts.
Pretty sure you have to be a member/log-in to get early access (not sure when the sale goes live to the general public?) but some of the deals are legit. Just gotta hunt and peck a bit, as it’s an “up to” sale, and not all of it is getting as significant of markdowns as the picks shown above are. Note that free shipping doesn’t kick in until $95.
Two codes. 40% off + an additional 10% off that marked down price = 46% off in total. Those GAPFit active tees are a new favorite. Size shown above is a medium on 5’10″/185.
The Huck team is off on vacation. Which means their big winter clearance is very…
Brooks Brothers starts their winter clearance with an additional 25% off sale items.
Plus a Christmas album you probably haven't heard yet this year. Maybe.
With a focus on holiday events. It's their last sale before their shipping cutoff.
Style choices to make for those times when how you're perceived is critical.
