It’s not just a handful. It’s a Hoedown. Why hoedown? Too much to be called a handful. This post will be updated over the next few days as more sales roll in. Enjoy the long Weekend. Stay safe.
Been a while since Spier did a blanket code like this. Yes there are plenty of exclusions, but they’re clearly marked. Don’t forget that if it’s your first suit or sportcoat purchase with Spier, your item ships AND returns for free. Other items and or repeat customers = returns are a $15 return label. Size selection is pretty scattered across their inventory. It’s rough out there right now for retailers.
UPDATE: Big thanks to our man Adam who has a couple pairs of Spier’s new sunglasses in hand for an upcoming in-person review. He said he’s impressed: “These are pretty dang great. Initial impressions – better than Target, not quite as substantial as Ray-Ban. Maybe on par with Kent Wang? Worth $55? Yes all day. Definite thumbs up on sale.” … Excellent. But remember: Returns are a flat fee of $15. So yeah. A tough ask with sunglasses.
No tricks need to be played with the Stan Smiths this time. Perhaps adidas is having overstock issues similar to Target? Ultraboosts too. That makes them $27 cheaper than the thirty-dollar deal they were running just the other day. Dang. Apologies to anyone who dove in on that one. Blergh. Bleepin’ hassle. Free shipping and returns if you’re a member though. Maybe reach out to customer serivce and ask for a price adjustment? Otherwise you can send ’em back and save $27.
And now the NOT final sale stuff. This stuff can be returned, although it’ll set you back a $7.50 prepaid label unless you can get it back, in person, to a brick-and-mortar location.
Tis the season to put on a watch, go outside, and do something. And consider leaving your phone at home or at least in your pocket if possible/safe/etc. (experiencing something > documenting something) Nice to see the MK1 mechanical back in stock AND up for that SAVE20 code. GMTs are currently sold out (and wouldn’t be getting a discount anyway). Full review here.
For those playing the BR Factory home game, that adds up to a total of 60% off “retail” price. And with Factory-style companies, “retail” is always… optimistic. But 60% off is actually pretty solid. Just know that it’s the step-down version of Banana Republic. Fabrics and fits won’t be quite as nice as mainline BR. Head here for a review big round up of BR Factory stuff from a couple of months back. Should help you get a handle on the brand. 50% off runs through 7/6, while the extra 20% off “only” runs through the 4th.
It appears that most (all?) of the Allen Edmonds sale section is getting this extra 30% off w/ SALE30. Factory 2nds too. And it looks like Allen Edmonds is now throwing their Factory 2nds stock in with the general sale section? That’s a bit… sketchy. Because there’s a $25 restocking fee on Factory 2nds. So watch out for those. Huge thank you to Robert F. for the tip on the extra 30% off!
WP Standard almost never runs sales. Maybe around the holidays, but that’s pretty close to it. So 15% off is significant. And it drops that new, pretty much perfect, “The Woodward” briefcase to just under $300. Nice. Very nice. Will be tough to replicate that price to quality ratio at some other brand/some other retailer. Full review here.
15% off “just” six models but they are some of their most popular, seasonal favorites. A couple pairs of boots too. Made in Maine.
The big one for the deal hunters (and risk takers). New items added to their sale section, plus they’ve bumped up the offer to an extra 60% off. But this stuff is all final sale. No returns. None. Zilch. So be careful. $140 for an unstructured Ludlow might be worth a gamble though. Full picks here.
20% off isn’t that great of a deal on their shirts or polos. But for something like a pair of shoes or one of their “perfect” blazers? Not bad. Do remember that they’re UK based and their goods ship from the UK. And shipping isn’t cheap right now. And returns could be a hassle.
Assembled in the USA. Micro adjusting clasp. 300m (1000 feet) water resistance rating. Movement is a made in Japan, Miyota 9015 automatic. Four colorways in the stainless steel, plus an additional two bronze options coming in at $749. Full review here.
The anniversary sale doesn’t go live to everyone until July 15th. But that doesn’t mean the release of their catalog still isn’t a big, big deal. It’s usually one of the best sales of the year. Significant sale prices on new arrivals. Lots of it is autumn-ready or 4-season/year-round. And as always with Nordstrom, it’ll ship and return for free. All of the men’s goods can be found here.
The Classic (but not billowy) Commission Pant got restocked last week and a few colors in the common 30″ inseam actually (still) have a good size selection heading into the weekend. Slim Fits are fully restocked as well as taller and shorter inseams. But if you’re on #teamaverage (me too!) then seeing a 30″ inseam + classic fits back in stock, at least in a few colors, is encouraging.
Geeze this Nike sale keeps rolling along. It’s a “select items” sale, so prices are dependent on item and color. But it’s a doozy all the same.
No waiting with this one. They’re a pre-order model. One of the original pre-order models. And usually the wait is a month or months. So to be able to order something in stock, and have it ship relatively soon, is a bit of a treat. Sizes can be scattered depending on the item, but at post time there’s actually a pretty wide range of sizes available across a bunch of wheelhouse goods. Big thanks to Dominic R. for the tip on this one!
$64 a pop, unless you buy two pairs and then they’ll knock $20 off the total at checkout. 98% cotton, 2% spandex, and garment dyed for softness.
One of the highlights of the weekend. Taylor Stitch isn’t running perpetual sales like some other brands. It’s not never with them. It’s just not always. So a sale? A sale is good. Quite good when it comes to Taylor Stitch. Free shipping and free returns helps too. 19% off their 60% Merino wool, 30% Nylon, 10% Elastane Made in Italy socks.
BR continues to stick to their almost-no-codes or promos strategy. Some new items in their final sale section though, and a handful (footfull?) of their shoes are getting some significant price reductions in the non-final-sale but still on sale section. I know, confusing. Also note that BR seems to have redesigned their website, and now everything is HUGE when you browse. Gives it more of a magazine feel. But their product catalog is so large, that it makes it a little cumbersome to scroll through all that.
A few additional picks which didn’t make it into our one store (or in this case, one sale-section) 5 outfits post.
3rd party is not surprisingly excluded. Those sunglasses could be relatively inexpensive winners.
Dear promotions copy writers for Todd Snyder: Don’t send out emails that say “40% OFF STARTS NOW” when it’s an “up to” 40% off sale. It’s misleading. Hate to be critical, but much of what’s in the sale section isn’t anywhere near 40% off. Yet on the other hand, some items are MORE than 40% off. So…. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Anyway, still a really nice sale from Todd Snyder. Lots of final sale items are lurking about. No returns on those. So be careful there.
The Pick: GapFit Recycled Active T-Shirt – $14.99 ($39.95) select colors
Look for the items that end in $.99 or $.97. GAP’s inventory is almost perpetually “on sale,” but the extra 50% off only works on stuff that’s been permanently marked down. Those GapFit Active Tees are terrific. Size shown above is a medium on 5’10″/185, and the image is from this style scenario.
