“There was only one night game a year.” – The Sandlot
This post will be updated over the next few days as more sales roll in. So if you so desire, check back in between hot dogs and firecrackers. We’ll be tracking the salez salez salez. Have a safe and fun 4th of July.
Banana Republic: Extra 20% off Summer Sale (new items added)
- Italian (Marzotto) Cotton/Wool “tweed” sportcoat – $203.99 ($450)
- Matching cotton/wool tweed trousers are here for $111.99 if you want to make it a full suit.
- Made in Portugal Suede Chukkas – $159.99 ($250)
- Italian leather belts – $55.99 ($90)
- 88% extra-fine merino, 12% linen crewneck sweaters – $47.99 ($80) 5 colors
- Luxury Touch Pique Polos – $31.99 ($60) reviewed in polopalooza
- Olive Green Suede Court Sneakers – $67.99 ($150)
WEEKEND UPDATE: As of Friday the 5th BR has added an additional 20% off all of their sale items. Quite good. Very good. And there’s a significant bit of newness in that sale section. Even includes this year’s run of the luxe touch pique polos (shown above size medium on 5’10″/185). Another highlight is that 64% cotton, 36% wool Marzotto “tweed” sportcoat. Lined in Bemberg cupro, and just half lined in the back. That could make for a perfect, textured, 3 season sportcoat that could even see some use in a couple months when we’re all looking forward to fall weather and football. Even if it is still warm out. (Marzotto even calls it “Havana” fabric. See the pic of the label on the inside of the jacket.) Watch out for final sale items. It’s a mix of regular and final sale. Anything tagged as final (watch for items with prices that end in $.97) can’t be returned or exchanged.
Brooks Brothers: Additional 30% off Clearance Items
- Suede Diamond Quilted Walking Coat – $251.99 ($898)
- Regent Fit Wool Guncheck Sport Coat – $244.99 ($548)
- Leather Chelsea Boots – $115.49 ($325)
- Salinger Blucher – $87.49 ($248)
- Regent Classic-Fit Hopsack Check Sport Coat – $209.99 ($498)
- Vitale Barberis Canonico Wool Down Diamond Quilted Vest – $97.99 ($348)
Because nothing says July like… quilted suede coats and wool vests? But the prices. That’s the magic of the Brooks Brothers clearance section when they do an additional 30% off event. Those sportcoats would look great now. The Italian wool gun-check option in “Aqua” is a nice splash of color, and could be worn year-round. Thinking it’d do nicely now with off-white chinos (looking at you J. Crew Factory) and later on with jeans or gray flannel trousers in the fall and winter.
Grant Stone: Additional 15% off sale items w/ JULY4th
- Goodyear Welted Traveler Penny Loafers in CXL #8 – $265.20 ($380)
- Goodyear Welted Traveler Penny Loafers in Sky Reverse Kudu – $251.60 ($348)
- Goodyear Welted Traveler Penny Loafers in Jungle Kangaroo – $251.60 ($380)
The Traveler Penny loafers on CXL #8 are obviously the highlight, but there are a few other random models in there too. Returns will set you back a $15 pre-paid label. B-Grades and Sample Sale items are final sale and non refundable. Make sure you read their size guides. Their lasts don’t always fit true to size and they have suggestions for sizing you’ll want to read.
lululemon: New items added to The “We Made Too Much” Final Sale section
- 30″ inseam RELAXED fit Warpstreme ABC Trousers – $99 FINAL ($128) 5 colors
- 32″ inseam RELAXED fit Warpstreme ABC Trousers – $99 FINAL ($128) 5 colors
- Bone ABC 5 Pocket Warpstreme Pants in SLIM or CLASSIC fit- $69 FINAL ($128) select sizes, 32″ or 34″ inseams
- Metal Vent Tech Tees – $54 FINAL ($78) 4 colors
- Always In Motion Boxer 5″ – $24 FINAL ($28) reviewed here in a different color
- Evolution Short-Sleeve Polo Shirt – $59 FINAL ($88)
4th Update: Looks like some new stock got added. Including their new relaxed fit ABC trousers. No seam across the back of the knee on the new ABC trouser. But these are also their more generous relaxed fit. So be aware. Sometimes lululemon’s “we made to much” (aka their sale section) can be really bare. Not so at present. Remember that it’s all final sale. And to them, final sale means you can only exchange for credit in-store. Which at least is a little better than the industry standard “no returns no exchanges” of any kind. That is, if you live near a store. If you don’t, you’re truly out of luck.
Target: 20% off most t-shirts
- Goodfellow 60% cotton / 40% poly tees – $6.40 ($8) basic colors like black, gray, white, and navy
- Goodfellow 60% cotton / 40% poly tees – $6.40 ($8) other colors like light blue, burgundy, olive, etc.
- Goodfellow 100% cotton short sleeve henleys – $12 ($15)
Sadly it looks like their activewear line All in Motion is mostly excluded. But Goodfellow sure is getting the 20% off . Already affordable at full price, now extra affordable through Saturday 7/6.
Allen Edmonds: Extra 25% off sale items and Factory 2nds
- Fifth Avenue Cap-toe Oxford Dress Shoe – $261.75 ($425)
- Strandmok Cap-Toe Oxfords w/ Dainite Sole – $224.99 ($425)
- Center Court Lace-up Sneaker – $149 ($300) imported
Not the most extensive selection, but some gems in there all the same. Markdowns have already been taken. No code or additional stuff coming off in your cart. What you see is what you pay, and do remember that any Factory 2nds, whether bought through the main AE site or over at the Shoebank will set you back a $25 restocking fee on returns. You can find out more about F2s over here.
Tie Bar: Summer (Final) Sale is on
- The 98% Cotton / 2% Spandx “Miracle” Brilliant Blue Jacket – $82.50 FINAL ($165)
- Hunter Green Barberis Wool Camuffare Necktie – $24.50 FINAL ($35)
- Barberis Wool Plaid Neckties – $33.60 FINAL ($48)
Some eye-grabbing prices, but remember that everything on sale at the Tie Bar is final sale. So no returns or exchanges. But their “miracle” jackets/sportcoats have been quite nice for the price in the past (see here for an old review of their wool options). Also good to see that some of their Itailan Barberis wool neckties are included in the sale.
J. Crew: Extra 60% off FINAL Sale Styles w/ JULY
- Ludlow Slim Stretch Italian Wool Suit Jacket + Trousers = $215.99 FINAL ($675)
- Cotton/COOLMAX Poly Performance Polo – $19.99 FINAL ($69.50)
- Sueded Cotton Short Sleeve Henleys – $11.99 FINAL ($45)
- Wallace & Barnes Lightweight Canvas Work Jacket – $69.99 FINAL ($218)
UPDATE: A few new additions to their sale section have started to trickle in. We’ll continue to keep an eye on it in case they make any more major infusions of new items. In case you missed it, as it was buried in the J. Crew regular priced sale post from the other day. $216 for a wool ludlow is unheard of. Final sale though of course, and it looks like the only option with a good size selection left is that steely looking “Atlantic blue” shown above. But what a color for spring/summer/and yes even fall and winter too.
J. Crew Part Deux: 50% off select full price w/ JULY
- Tech Shorts (all inseam lenghts) – $39.50 ($79.50) 9″ inseam in coal gray shown above
- Airman Sunglasses – $39.75 ($79.50)
- Vintage-wash cotton pocket T-shirts – $19.75 ($39.50)
- Cotton-blend Crewneck Sweaters – $39.75 ($79.50)
Full picks here in case you missed them. This is the stuff that’s on sale but NOT final sale. So returns or exchanges are possible, although a return through UPS or the mail will set you back a $7.50 return label. Half off their stretch chino shorts, and all inseams are included… that’s pretty good.
WP Standard: 20% off w/ JULY
- Woodward Briefcase in Tan or Desert Black – $278.40 ($348)
- Pan Am Duffel in Rough Out Suede – $374.40 ($468)
Hard not to like WP Standard and their soft leather briefcases and Duffels. The Woodward briefcase is dressy enough for suit and tie places of work, but won’t look out of place at a more dressed down/creative job either. Full review of the tan leather Woodward can be found here.
Lands’ End: 50% off everything w/ CELEBRATE
- Year’rounder Tropical Wool Suit Jacket + Matching Trouser = $184.95 total ($369.90) 4 colors, NOTE: some sizes on the blue glen plaid are back ordered until August, but they appear to be stocked up in navy, gray, etc.
- 7″ Volley Swim Trunks – $17.99 – $19.98 ($49.95) lots of colors/patterns
- Comfort first Year’rounder Wool Dress Trousers – $62.47 ($124.95)
- Blake Shelton x Lands’ End Printed Cooler Tote – $19.18 ($59.95)
Code CELEBRATE runs through the 8th. Nice to see them doing a flat 50% off almost everything. Also worth noting is that that jumps to 60% off on swimwear and clearance items.
Amazon: 28″ Checked & 21″ Carry On Samsonite Freeform Hardside 2 piece set – $219.99 ($360ish)
This is a package deal. You’ll get two pieces of hard-side luggage. The deal is part of their currently running 4th of July sale. Remember that Prime Day is coming up 7/16-7/17, but this price is a legit deal, as just the carry on (which is on sale for $140 if you want just that) usually runs around $150. So for an extra $80, you’ll also get the larger 28″ (not carry on size) hard side case.
The carry on size was featured in our big What to Pack when Traveling Light and In Style post. No checked baggage required for that post, BUT, if you or you and your partner are headed somewhere and are planning on checking a bag, then having the 28″ hardside available in addition to the 21″ carry on isn’t a bad idea.
Amazon II: Select Watches on Sale
- Timex Unisex Weekender 38mm – $25.99 ($30 – $35)
- Bulova Rectangle 96B107 – $112.50 ($129 – $200)
The overall “selection” is pretty weak, but there are two true winners with nice prices in the bunch: The legendary (and cheeeeap) Timex Weekender gray dial/gray & orange strap, and the Bulova rectangle dress watch. As good as it gets, price-wise, for that Bulova. Fancy looking for dressed up wear. Still subtle and classy. And the price is great.
Billy Reid: Extra 25% off Sale Styles w/ FOURTH
Splurge alert. The Billy Reid sale section doesn’t have the biggest selection, but there are a few investment worthy splurges in there.
Madewell: Extra 30% off sale styles w/ COOLDOWN
- Garment-Dyed Allday Crewneck Tee – $20.99 ($35) select colors
- Round Acetate Sunglasses – $46.55 ($75)
- Madewell x G.H.BASS Larson Weejuns Loafers – $73.49 ($185)
Madewell has earned a solid reputation for their brand-nominative-deterministic well made basics. They carry more than tees and jeans though. A few collabs too. Some of which have wandered their way into the sale section which is getting an additional 30% off with that COOLDOWN code.
Todd Snyder: Extra 20% off sale items w/ SUMMER20
- Italian Suede Chore Coat – $535.20 ($998)
- Italian Peak Lapel Hopsack Wool Sportcoat – $187.20 FINAL ($698)
- Made in the USA Tipped Full Placket Polos – $71.20 ($128) lots of colors
- Bodega x Todd Snyder Reversible Wool Blend Down Bomber – $207.20 ($548)
- 90% Wool / 10% Cashmere Peacoat – $283.20 ($898) this doesn’t seem to be final sale at post time? which is odd for how far marked down it is. Yeah it’s July, but usually anything this heavily marked down at Todd Snyder is final sale.
In regards to this particular corner of the internet of which you’re reading now, Todd Snyder lives on the higher end of the price spectrum. But they have a sale section, and on occasion they’ll run one of those “extra %” off codes. Additional 20% this time. As always there can be final sale items lurking in there. Anything tagged as final (like the peak lapel sportcoat shown above) can’t be returned or exchanged.
Spier & Mackay: 10% – 20% off – clothing picks
- Core Line suits in Slim or Contemporary Fit – $358.20 ($398) 11 colors, 10% off
- Italian wool/silk/linen Emerald Check Neo Cut Sportcoat – $380.80 ($448) 15% off
- Italian 95% Wool & 5% Elastane Travel Suits in Gray or Navy – $423.30 ($498) 15% off
Especially worth noting is their Core Line of suits. The Red Label line is all well and good (still getting $50 off!) but some of us are used to the step up in quality with the core line at Spier. The core line uses nicer wool fabrics, higher quality trim stuff (lining, shoulder pads, buttons), and unlike the Red Label line, the cores come in two fits (slim and a more athletic contemporary). Our review of the slim fit template can be found here, while the contemporary fit review can be found here.
Spier: Up to 20% off – The Shoes!
- Blake Stitched Balmoral Cap Toes – $142.40 ($178) five colors
- Blake Stitched Brogue Cap Toes – $142.40 ($178) black, dark brown, or tan
- Blake Stitched Double Monks – $142.40 ($178) medium brown or dark brown
- Goodyear Welted Cap Toe Balmorals – $222.40 ($278) dark brown, tan, or black
Spier makes two levels of shoes, and both are really quite nice especially considering the price. First is their made in China Blake Stitched line. Flexible, good materials and construction, and perfect for guys who aren’t gonna wear dress shoes day in and day out but do want to have a really nice looking and wearing pair in their corner for when they need or want them. Second level is their upgraded made in Portugal line featuring German Box Calf leather uppers and a Goodyear welted sole. Our shoe expert Adam has been in person with each tier over the last couple of years. You can find the Blake stitched review here, and the Goodyear welted review here.
J. Crew Factory: 50% – 70% off Everything
- Short-sleeve printed flex casual shirt – $39.50
- Light Gray Flex chinos in slim, athletic, or straight fit – $39.50
- Striped performance polo shirt – $34.50
- Walnut Brown Flex chinos in slim, athletic, or straight fit – $39.50
- 100% Cotton Washed Jersey Tees – $14.95

From J. Crew’s more affordable step-down brand. Pretty much everything (if not everything) is on sale. Good prices. Solid prices. Perhaps not the best of all time, but good all the same. Free shipping kicks in at $99.
REI: 4th of July Sale, members get additional $20 off $100 Outlet purchases w/ OUT4JULY24

- Merrell Moab Speed Mid GORE-TEX Hikers – $118.73 ($170) members price = $98.73 with OUT4JUL24

- Patagonia Hydropeak Volley Shorts – $35.73 ($74) no liner with these
- Balega Hidden Comfort Socks – $11.99 ($16)
- North Face Dune Sky Polo Shirt – $41.93 ($60)
Looks like this one is open to everyone. No REI membership needed. But if it’s something that’s cooking in their outlet and over $100, then an additional twenty bucks comes off for members with the code OUT4JULY24. Code is set to expire 7/4. Sale is a little bit of everything. Feels like a clearance in some categories with size selection being limited on some items, whereas other areas/items have a full size run and are still on sale.
Brooks Brothers: 30% off select | 3 shirts for $199
- Stretch Wool Hopsack Blazer – $383.60 ($548) slim, classic, or traditional fit
- Wool 1818 Dress Pants in Slim, Classic, or Traditional Fit – $173.60 ($248)
- 3 Dress Shirts – $199 (normally $118 – $128 per)
Sale is pretty much across their entire site but of course their are exceptions (their stock of Rancourt shoes being one of the most notable).

- Slim Core Temp Dress Shirt – $31.87 ($42.50)
As good as it gets for Banana Republic’s step-down version. Obligatory reminder that BR Factory is less money, but their goods are not quite the same quality in term of fabrics and feel/fit that the mainline brand produces. Offer runs through 7/7.
Also worth a mention:
- Nike: Members save 20% off select w/ FLASH20
- adidas: 30% off select for members when you log in and use code ADICLUB
