Because of course this year is the year that Cyber Monday sales start on Sunday. Retail analysts used to dismiss Cyber Monday (and online shopping in general) as little more than a joke compared to the in-store Black Friday onslaught. Times have changed. This post will be updated as more deals get released. Got a tip? Send those in to joe@dappered.com.

At first glance it looks identical to the Black Friday event they ran last week (stretch chinos are still $20 off…) but it’s a little bit different. Specifically the section of “Cyber Monday Deals” they’ve set aside. Also, free outbound shipping no minimum, no J. Crew Passport membership required.
Tuesday Update: This got extended one more day
Holy smokes some of the 72-hour merino line is actually on sale. Those are the tees, henleys, and more that are great for traveling because you can wear one for 3 days straight without it starting to stink & feel gross. That’s the magic of merino wool. Sizes are starting to get picked over (kudos to those that didn’t wait and got some during the 15% off sale earlier this month…) so move fast if that’s on your list. And a note on sizing for the PROOF 72 Hour merino gear: That stuff tends to run a little trim, and can shrink a little in the wash. So consider sizing up. A size large fits my 5’10″/185lb frame perfectly.
Tuesday Update: This got extended one more day with a dollar from every order made today going to the Alaskan Wildlife Conservation Center (for Giving Tuesday.)
The Pick: Killshot 2 Sneakers OG Navy Swoosh – $67.50 ($90)
Obligatory mention that the most #menswear sneaker of the last decade is on sale.
Tuesday Update: This is running through Saturday.
Tuesday Update: Last day for this.
Bonobos seems to be proof that Black Friday – Cyber Monday is just different this time. Yes they switched owners this year, but in the past they’ve almost always ran a Black Friday deal (30% off), and then something a touch better on Cyber Monday (35% off). Yet this year the fine print says their Black Friday 30% off offer runs clear through tomorrow. So it seems pretty fair to assume that 35% off isn’t coming. Or maybe it will. Who knows. Usual exclusions apply: “Excludes Icon Status styles of Original Stretch Washed Chinos, Stretch Washed Chinos 2.0, and Stretch Weekday Warrior Dress Pants.”
Tuesday Update: Last day for this.
Pretty much the same (same but very good) deal from Black Friday week. But cashmere is now included. Wait, was cashmere included during Black Friday? Can’t recall. Some of us stick to merino as cashmere is, understandably, very expensive.
Tuesday Update: Last day for this.
A slight change into Cyber Monday as gone is the 40% off boots (only) deal, in comes the 35% off + an additional 10% off deal with that code CYBERDEAL… and some exclusions get kicked in now (some Clarks appear to be out.)
Tuesday Update: Last day for this.
Still running. Hopefully those Old Navy employees who worked the floor all weekend got a drink and an i.v. after that madness.
Tuesday Update: Last day for this.
Cyber Monday Update: Was 30% off last mid-week, then 40% off on Thanksgiving, and then 37% off on Black Friday, then back to 30% off for the weekend, and now back to 30% + an additional 10% off. That = 37% off. Got all that? Great. Because I don’t.
A few new items included, like their new stock of Blake Stitched shoes. This is sneakily one of the best sales of this year’s Black Friday – Cyber Monday corridor. The stunneris that their new base-line (but still half canvas) Red Label suits are included. Those almost never go on sale, as they were created specifically to maximize the quality to price ratio. Full review here. Also surprising is to see their chunky merino shawl collars go on sale long before the new year hits. The picks above happen to be getting 10% off except for the oxford cloth shirts. Those are 15% off. Remember, when any brand or store says “up to XYZ% off” that truly means “up to.” So a lot of what Spier has on sale is ten percent or fifteen percent off. But still… for Spier, that’s quite good.
No more “select” items. It’s a flat 30% off AND it includes their performance-wear line “All in Motion.” Those 5-pocket pants are the pants of the year. Almost as good as lululemon’s ABC pants for $100(!) less. Full review on those and how they compare to the lululemon ABC can be found here. For reviews of a bunch of what the Target men’s line Goodfellow & Co. is offering this fall/winter, head here for an in-person round up.
Made in the USA leather goods. Terrific Horween leathers. Super smart designs. Only a few exclusions (FFFolio, SimpliFFFy sale watches, Three-way women’s bag, etc). Ends Monday.
And here we are again with Amazon, their haystack worth of inventory, and a few needles worth mentioning.
Can’t recall the last time Rancourt did a sitewide sale. (Probably last Black Friday.) Made in the USA of course.
Limit one use (read: one suit) per customer. Oliver Wicks is one of those companies where you take a bunch of measurements of yourself, input them into their platform, pick a fabric and a bunch of customizations like lapels, pleats, linings and what not, and then they ship you a suit later on down the line. These types of companies can be great for guys who just don’t fit into standard “Drop” zones. (Many off the rack suits have a 6″ drop, which means you buy a 40R jacket, and you’re stuck with a 34 waist trouser.) Personal experience has been positive. The fabric is great, the construction is nice, and while the buttons (to me) look a little “meh” close up, the suit looks sharp overall. Pretty good fit out of the box too.
No code needed. Discount gets automatically applied at checkout. Those Italian wool ties (fabric from Vitale Barberis Canonico no less) sure do look all kinds of cold-weather-great.
The Pick: Men’s The Standard Mid-Calf Lightweight Lifestyle Sock – $26
Extended through today. No better time to see what all the fuss is about. If you had to pick one type/model of socks that you’d be forced to wear with everything for the rest of your life… from working out to wearing with a suit and tie… these are the socks. No really. “The Standard” from Darn Tough are those socks. Perfect for casual, smart casual, and/or dressed to the nines. They do it all. Made in the USA, extra cushioning protects without being overly bulky, made from temperature regulating and moisture wicking merino wool. Machine wash gentle and tumble dry low. And now for the skeptical, Darn Tough is running a free shipping no minimum promo through Sunday. So for those who are like “there’s no way ONE pair of socks can be worth $26…” … now’s not a bad time to pick up just one pair to see for yourself. Or don’t. But free shipping usually won’t kick in until $50. So this is the time for those who want to buy a pair of socks, and just one pair of socks.
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.
