Sales that deserve some attention heading into the weekend or a bit earlier. Five of the better sales are below, plus bonus sales if need be. Included are a few picks worth pointing out.
J. Crew: Up to 40% off (or more?) long weekend event
- Sussex Quilted Jacket – $139.50 ($198) “just” 30% off, but these have been excluded for a bit so it’s worth a mention. Full review here if you’d like it.
- Nordic quilted puffer jacket with PrimaLoft – $71.69 FINAL SALE w/ SHOPSALE ($298)
- Wallace & Barnes corduroy chore jacket – $47.99 FINAL SALE w/ SHOPSALE ($198)
- Cotton T-shirt in stripe – $19.50 ($39.50) 49% off
- Ludlow topcoat in wool blend – $299.50 ($548) 45% off, navy or toffee
- Heritage brushed rib-knit henley – $34.50 ($69.50) 49% off, six colors
Friday UPDATE: J. Crew has moved a couple of the items from their select sale event over into the final sale section. Much cheaper now, but comes with the massive catch of final sale meaning no returns or exchanges. Prices above have been updated to reflect that. You’ll need the code SHOPSALE for an additional 70% off final sale items.
It’s the Up to 40% off sale that’s actually much more than 40% off depending on which item you’re looking at! Yes, the very same sale event that’s seeing their Legacy Blazer get a half off discount. Same one. No code needed.
UNIQLO: OCBDs, Ultra Light Down Jackets, & Chinos Sale
- Oxford Slim-Fit Long-Sleeve Shirt – $29.90 ($39.90) blue, white, gray, or navy
- Ultra Light Down Jacket (narrow quilt) – $69.90 ($79.90) brown, black, olive, or navy
- Slim-Fit Chino Pants – $39.90 ($49.90) six colors (the ones you’d expect)
That’s pretty much UNIQLO’s “big 3” right there. Of course not everyone loves the downright “norm core” look of UNIQLO’s quiet classics, but… some swear by them. Specials end today, 1/11/24.
Nike Members: Extra 25% off select sale w/ LETSGO
- Nike Air Force 1 ’07 LV8 – $86.22 ($135) shown in-person above
- Air Jordan 1 Zoom CMFT 2 – $84.72 ($150)
- Nike Court Legacy Suede – $60 ($80)
It’s a very special “winter white” set of picks selection above. Those Air Force 1 “winterized” sneakers are pretty great in person. Leather is thick (and a little stiff to start to be honest,) the olive with speckles sole is cool, and they’re a neutral that goes with everything. RE being a “winterized” AF1, the description says: “This winter-ready version helps keep you warm and has traction to beat the elements.” …. I have no idea what that means. When it’s cold and crummy out, yours truly isn’t wearing sneakers. They don’t feel extra insulated or waterproof or anything, but… hey, there might be some magic going on there. Code LETSGO is for Nike Members only, so you’ll have to log in to use it.
Spier: Up to 20% off select outerwear
- Navy Down Blazer (shell is water resistant nylon/spandex) – $238.40 ($298)
- Medium Gray 85% Merino Wool, 15% Cashmere Overcoat – $358.40 ($448)
Not bad. Especially since much of North America has been getting a solid wallop from Old Man Winter. Note that the coat shown at the verrry top of this post is Spier’s black down blazer from a season or two ago. Not quite sure why they didn’t make one in black this year but, same concept as the navy one shown above. Here’s how a medium looks on 5’10″/185. Sale ends this Monday.
Amazon: now the Fossil Haskell DOUBLE zip briefcase is on sale in cognac brown – $198 (usually $240ish )
Oh for the love of… So earlier this week it was the single zip version of the Haskell briefcase getting a decent price cut, and now it’s the double zip. Full review can be found here, albeit in black instead of cognac (and the black isn’t on sale at post time).
