The Thursday Handfuls are great, but what if Monday (or Tuesday) rolls around and there are a few sales that can’t wait until the weekend? You’ll find three of the best, with a few picks from each, to start the week below.
Banana Republic: Summer Sale + Additional 20% off Sale Styles w/ BRAFF20
- 11″ Core Temp Shorts – $27.97 FINAL ($70)
- 9″ Core Temp Shorts – $19.97 FINAL ($70)
- 9″ Stretch Cotton Easy Shorts – $14.37 FINAL ($59.50)
- Hadley Italian Leather Brogues in chestnut, cognac, or black – $90 ($158)
- Nicklas II Leather Sneaker – $59.97 FINAL ($140)
- Hinto Italian Leather Derby – $90 ($158)
- Supima Shawl Collar Cardigan – $55.97 FINAL ($150)
- Italian Leather Belt – $20.77 FINAL ($59.50)
- Large Tote Bag – $28.77 FINAL ($80)
- Slim Non-Iron 97% Cotton, 3% Spandex Dress Pants – $39.97 FINAL ($100)
BR has updated their sale section with quite a bit of new stock + new reductions, and… Holy cow a code at Banana Republic! It’s been a few months. Big thanks to Dave C. for the tip. When combined with the additional 20% off BRAFF20 code, it’s one of the better sales they’ve run in recent memory, BUT (and it’s a big but) it’s almost all final sale stuff in there. Anything that ends in $.99 or $.97 is final sale and can’t be returned. Will be tagged as such on the product page. So tread carefully.
Timex: Up to 30% off select (no code needed)
- MK1 Mechanical 36mm Archive Field Watch – $134.99 ($199) review here
- Marlin Automatic California Dial – $169.99 ($249) review here
Can’t lie, it feels like a bit of an end-of-season clearance. Not a lot kicking about in there, but two favorites are heavily marked down and worth a mention. Also, it’s labeled as an “up to 30% off” sale, yet the MK1 Mechanical is 32.2% off, while the Marlin California is actually 31.8% off. Beats me. I understand nothing.
Lululemon: Their “We Made Too Much” Final Sale Section isn’t half bad right now.
- ABC Warpstreme Jogger- $89 – $69 FINAL ($129) Length = “Intended to sit just above ankle for 32″-34″ inseam”
- Metal Vent Tech Half-Zip 2.0 – $69 FINAL ($98)
- Metal Vent Tech Long Sleeve Shirt 2.0 – $59 FINAL ($88)
- Metal Vent Tech Short Sleeve Shirt 2.0 – $49 FINAL ($78)
For the Lululemon lovers. Just make sure you know what works for you from their line, and what doesn’t. Because it’s all final sale, and thus, can’t be returned. Getting athletic gear that you don’t feel comfortable in is a drag. Sure you’ll try to force a few workouts in it here and there, but guaranteed it ends up at the bottom of your drawer, wallowing in the shame you feel about taking that gamble. And it’s Lululemon. So it’s an expensive gamble. Best to have previous experience with a certain line/article of clothing before picking anything up on final sale.
BONUS Taylor Stitch: New additions to their Last Call Final Sale section
The Pick: The Chukka in Weatherproof Loden Suede – $238 FINAL ($298)
Speaking of Final Sale. But wait, here’s part of the description on those chukkas: “This product is highly limited in quantity and may never be in stock again.” Ah c’mon Taylor Stitch. Say it ain’t so. Those chukkas are terrific. For real. Full review here.
Also worth a mention,
- Nordstrom: Their big Anniversary Sale is Underway. Full picks can be found here. Prices go back up 8/1.
- DSW: 30% off select w/ DOGDAYS . But there’s not a lot in there. Be warned.
- Brooks Brothers: 4 select shirts for $179 (works out to $44.75 per shirt).
- Nike: Up to 50% off during their summer sale.
