Here’s a round up of the best of what’s going on for men’s style when it comes to all the after Xmas sales. This post will be updated over the next few days as more deals roll in.
lululemon: End of Year Scores (FINAL Sale)
- SLIM fit ABC Trousers in 30″ inseam or 32″ inseam – $89 FINAL ($128)
- CLASSIC fit ABC Trousers in 30″ inseam or 32″ inseam – $89 FINAL ($128)
- Note: above ABCs available in just those two colors shown
- Evolution Short-Sleeve Polo Shirt – $59 FINAL ($88)
- Merino Blend Engineered Warmth Half Zip – $119 FINAL ($168)
- Route Ready Lightweight Insulated Jacket – $99 FINAL ($198)
This stuff should move fast, as it’s a rare event thanks to lululemon loathing discounts of any kind. If you’re a member you can return this stuff in-store for credit. So at least there’s that. But no through the mail returns and no cashback.
TheTieBar: Up to 50% off winter FINAL sale
- Barberis Wool Camuffare Hunter Green Tie – $24.50 ($30)
- Merino Wool Blend Cable Knit Dress Socks – $15.40 ($22) gentle wash, flat dry
- Cotton Blend Argyle Dress Socks – $4 ($8)
- Merino Wool Stripe Blend Dress Socks – $15.40 ($22) gentle wash, flat dry
No returns or exchanges. Lots of cheap accessories, but remember that free shipping at TheTieBar won’t kick in until $99 or more, and under that standard shipping is $6.95. So a $4 pair of socks could quickly become $10.95 out of pocket if you’re looking at small impulse-style buys.
Bespoke Post’s Shop: Up to 40% off Sale + addit. 10% off w/ EOY10 (exp. 12/29)
- Line of Trade Timber Quilted Chore Coat – $88.20 ($148)
- Matador SEG 45 Hybrid Duffel/Backpack – $143.10 ($200)
- Line of Trade The Bergen Cotton-blend Birdseye Sweater – $44.10 ($88)
- Line of Trade Sutter Shop Corduroy Jacket – $64.80 ($98)
- Malt Whiskey Glasses – Set of Two – $45 ($75)
- Bormioli Rocco Novecento Fizz Glasses – Set of 4 – $24.30 ($35)
- Andar The Memphis Full-Grain Leather Duffel – $269.10 ($389)
Sunday Update: Bespoke Post just dropped an additional 10% off all sale items code: EOY10. But it expires Sunday, 12/29. Prices above have been updated to reflect the additional 10% off.
Maybe it’s because they’re known for their monthly subscription-service boxes, but not a lot of people think about Bespoke Post’s shop of stand alone items. It’s oddly pretty great. The selection is varied (to say the least,) and when they run a sale it’s worth a spin through. There’s everything in there from their Line of Trade house-brand clothes, to drinkware, to LED railroad lanterns, to… edible luxury chess sets? Anyway, no Bespoke Post membership is required to shop their shop. It’s open to everyone.
Spier & Mackay: Up to 25% off Boxing Day Sale
- Dark Navy Core Line Wool Suit – $298.50 ($398)
- Medium Gray Vitale Barberis Canonico Wool Suit – $373.50 ($498)
- Medium Brown Cap Toe Balmorals – $133.50 ($178)
- Coffee Suede Loafers – $148.50 ($198)
- Black Cap Toe Balmorals – $133.50 ($178)
Discount varies by item (key words are “up to”) but there’s quite a bit of wheelhouse stuff getting the full 25% off. Spier’s quality to cost ratio is flat out great, especially for their suits and sportcoats. Fabrics are nice, construction is solid (half canvas), and if it’s your first Suit/Sport Coat, Shoes, Dress / Casual Trousers, Outerwear, Knitwear, or Dress / Casual Shirt purchase with them, then it ships and returns for free (see returns policy and USA tab here.) They do have a tendency to use models with frames that are very long and lean. Guessing that’s why some of those jackets can look a little short. Put ’em in a long instead of a regular jacket Spier! C’mon! Note that the shoe picks above are from their Made in China Blake Stitched line. They’ve got some higher end, Made in Portugal shoes in the sale as well. Sizes are scattered across all categories.
Bonobos: Extra 30% off sale items w/ THATSAWRAP
- 80% Extrafine Merino / 20% Nylon Cable Sweater – $103.20 ($159)
- Jetsetter Stretch Italian Wool Blazer – $167.30 FINAL ($400)
- Jetsetter Knit Blazer – $195.30 ($350)
Obligatory mention that Bonobos customer service may be a little wonky as they continue to try (and sometimes struggle) to emerge from bankruptcy/settle in with the new owners. Note that this is a mix of regular sale and final sale items. Anything tagged as final can’t be returned or exchanged. Code THATSAWRAP is set to run through 1/5.
Billy Reid: Up to 50% off Winter Sale
- Waxed Quail Jacket – $298.50 FINAL* ($598)
- Boiled Wool Unstructured Sport Coat/Swazer – $398.50 FINAL* ($798)
- Double Layer Wool Tupelo Trucker Jacket – $313 ($448)
- French Terry Cotton John Shawl Cardigan $148.50 FINAL* ($298)
Spendy stuff, but U.S. designer Billy Reid really knows what he’s doing. And the quality is there. *One thing to note: At post time their site isn’t super clear about what is and what isn’t final sale. The items themselves don’t seem to be clearly marked on the product pages or checkout, but their return policy seems to indicate things with prices which end in $.50 are in fact final sale, and cannot be returned or exchanged. Best to assume that’s the case, even though that detail is buried in their fine print.
Nordstrom: Half-Yearly Sale (3rd-party brand picks)
- Hart Schaffner Marx Technical All Weather Coat – $296.25 ($395)
- Made in the UK Peregrine Waxed Jacket in Mustard or Black – $262.50 ($375)
- Ray-Ban Highstreet 57mm Sunglasses – $140 ($180)
- Ray-Ban 58mm Polarized Square Sunglasses – $193 ($233)
- Johnston & Murphy Hedley Plain Toe Single Monks – $99.99 ($199)
- Rodd & Gunn Ealing Chelsea Boot – $139.99 ($198)
Picks above are selected from all the 3rd party brands Nordstrom carries. Because at their core they are a department store, and thus they carry lots of stuff from other brands. As always, everything ships and returns for free.
Nordstrom: Half-Yearly Sale (house brand picks)
- Nordstrom Trim Fit Dress Shirt – $39.99 ($59.50) white or blue
- Nordstrom 100% Cashmere V-Neck Sweaters – $115.50 ($165) six colors
- Nordstrom 100% Cashmere Topcoats – $539.40 ($899) four colors
- Nordstrom Plaid Wool Sport Coat – $279.20 ($399)
And now some picks from their Nordstrom house brand, which usually delivers good quality and prices lower than what the 3rd party brands can offer their goods at.
Allen Edmonds: Extra 25% off Sale Items
- Strand Cap Toe Oxfords in Espresso – $224.98 ($425)
- Windsor Derbies – $261.75 ($425)
- Strandmoks in Suede – $224.98 ($425)
- Liverpool Chelsea Boots in Walnut – $284.24 ($495)
- Landon Cap Toe Boots – $224.25 ($495)
Star of this AE sale has to be those Strands in dark brown Espresso. Not sure why those haven’t resonated with their customers, but with a brown that deep and rich they’ll go with both blue suits and gray suits. Even darker gray suits (general rule: the darker the brown of the shoes = the darker the gray clothes you can pair them with). Picks above are first quality stuff. No $25 restocking fee which would be the case if the shoes were Factory 2nds. Do be aware that AE has started to (annoyingly) mix in some Factory 2nds stock into their normal sale section. Those will cost you a $25 restocking fee if you return an F2. Prices are as marked online.
Orient Watches: 15% off w/ FORYOU24
The Pick: Bambino 38 Silver Dial/Silver Hands – $229.50 ($270) reviewed here
If you’re looking to pick up a svelte and classy dress watch, it’s hard to go wrong with the Bambino 38 silver on silver. Do note that sometimes/often Amazon sells and fulfills Orient watches for less than the brand does itself. So price comparing is a must with this brand. For example, the silver-on-silver shown above is $260 at Amazon (and sold/shipped via 3rd party which is a no-go for a lot of us,) but $229.50 at Orient. Yet the small seconds dial w/ blue hands 38mm model is currently $238 at Orient direct with the code, but $221 shipped/sold by Amazon. So it really can depend on model or color.
L.L. Bean: Up to 50% off during their “biggest sale of the year”
- Upcountry Waxed-Cotton Down Jacket – $199 ($239)
- Signature Cotton Shawl Collar Cardigan Fisherman’s Sweater – $144 ($169)
- Colorblock down vest – $84.99 ($99)
- Open Top Tote Bag – $54.99 – $59.99 ($69)
- USA Made Darn Tough Merino Blend Midweight Hiking Socks – $21.99 ($27)
Good quality goods, crunchy style, and being that they don’t like to discount much or often, a sale worth a look if you’re a backer of L.L. Bean. I mean, when they actually do run a code of some sort, it’s usually 10% and that’s it. So the sale prices (as scattered as they are) are actually relatively good for them.
J. Crew: Extra 60% off FINAL Sale w/ EXTRA
- Ludlow Slim-fit shawl-collar velvet tuxedo jacket – $111.59 FINAL ($348)
- Ludlow Slim-fit English cotton-wool blazer – $125.19 FINAL ($348)
- Charcoal Glen Check Ludlow suit jacket + trouser in Italian tropical wool = $239.19 FINAL ($650)
- Tech Pants (60% cotton/30% polyamide/10% elastane) – $33.19 FINAL ($98)
- Heritage brushed rib-knit henleys – $19.99 FINAL ($69.50)
- 484 Slim-fit stretch jean in dark indigo wash – $43.59 FINAL ($128)
Watch this space. This feels like the first wave. Guessing J. Crew is going to be adding more styles in the coming days or weeks. No returns or exchanges. All final sale, and final means final. They clearly don’t want this stuff back as they start to slowly turn their attentions to spring ’25. Code EXTRA is set to expire Saturday 12/28, so we’ll see what they have coming down the track next.
J. Crew: End of Season Cashmere Sale
Cashmere is excluded for almost all of the fall/winter season. Not now though. Separate from all the other stuff that they’re running. Some people are willing to splurge on cashmere. Then there’s the rest of us who are just fine with merino or other fabrics which cost a fraction. But! If you’re a cashmere person? Good on ‘ya.
adidas: get a $100 giftcard for $75 (limit 2 per person)
The Pick: Samba OGs – $75 w/ giftcard use ($100) lots of colors
So if you can buy a $100 giftcard for $75 (limit 2 per person…) that means anything over $100 is effectively $25 off. If something is in that $75 – $100 range, then it’s $75, and you’ll leave a little gift-card credit on the table. Not a bad way to save some cash on styles that aren’t always on sale.
Huckberry: Up to 45% off “See you out there” sale
- Made in Portugal Wills Garment Dyed Stretch-Cotton Blazer – $114 ($228)
- Huckberry x Danner Mountain 600 GTX Hiking Boots – $165 ($220)
- Whiskey Peaks Denali Decanter – $25 ($50)
- Flint and Tinder Lambswool-blend Aran Cable Knit Cardigan – $118 ($198)
Guessing most of you knew about this one already, as our picks post has been live for a bit now. Stuff is starting to sell through on sizes. If you got a giftcard in your stocking, now’s not a bad time to check in if you had your eye on something that could sell out. Picks above still had a good size selection left at post time.
Brooks Brothers: 40% off full price
- 1818 Italian Wool Dress Pants – $148 ($248) 6 colors, Slim, Classic, or Traditional Fit
- Classic Fit Overcheck Sport Coat in Flannel Merino Wool – $358.80 ($598)
- Explorer Collection Tech Puffer in Wool-Blend – $478.80 ($798)
- Navy Stretch Wool Hopsack Blazer – $328.80 ($548) Slim, Classic, or Traditional Fit
Heads up if you got a Brooks Brothers gift card under the tree. They’ve been running 30% off for a good while now, but the 40% off is back to Black Friday/Cyber Monday levels. Doesn’t seem to stack on their clearance section. And a few exclusions do apply, like their USA Made Rancourt shoes. Was originally scheduled to end on Christmas, but now runs clear through 1/5. Not sure why that changed.
Amazon: Up to 40% off Winter Sale
- Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells – $399 ($549)
- Bulova Automatic “Devil Diver” in Green – $353.82* ($795)
- *Watch out: The Bulova is now shipped/sold by 3rd party only
- Poly & Bark Essex Leather Couch – $1499 w/ $400 off coupon box checked ($1899)
- Ray-Ban RB3136 Caravan Sunglasses – $140 ($180)
- YETI Cocktail shaker – $42 ($60)
Totally random. Because nothing says an Amazon sale like a bright yellow YETI cocktail shaker, some dumbbells, and a leather couch. Remember that Amazon can end deals pretty quickly and seemingly at random. So don’t be overly surprised if some of these (and other sale item) prices expire at speed.
Charles Tyrwhitt: End of Season Sale + addit. 10% off w/ BONUS10
- Steel Blue Merino Wool Proper Blazer – $206.10 ($379)
- Super 120s Wool Tuxedo – $494.10 ($649)
- Blue Windowpane Wool Texture Jacket – $314.10 ($449)
That extra 10% off w/ BONUS10 sure is nice. Runs clear through 1/5. Sneaky good for tailored wear if you’re willing to deal with their shipping. Don’t forget the steep extra shipping charges at checkout ($15+ depending on speed). They’ve got some hits though. And yes, shirts (and shoes, and sweaters) are on sale too.
Todd Snyder: Extra 30% off Sale and Final Sale w/ 30EXTRA
- Tech Walking Jacket – $230.30 ($398)
- Boiled Wool CPO Shirt Jacket – $167.30 ($328)
- Black Todd Snyder x Joshua Ellis 100% Cashmere Scarf – $83.30 ($184)
- Navy Windowpane Todd Snyder x Joshua Ellis 100% Cashmere Scarf – $97.30 ($184)
- “Sand” Todd Snyder x Joshua Ellis 100% Cashmere Scarf – $83.30 ($184)
- Converse Chuck 70 in Grey – $48.30 ($90)
- Danner Mountain Light Wallowa Suede – $244.30 ($440)
Was an extra 20% off for the last week or two, and now they’ve bumped it up (and the prices down) with that extra 30% off code. Just watch out for Final Sale items. Anything tagged as final sale can’t be returned or exchanged.
Also worth a mention…
- Banana Republic Factory: 50% off + an additional 20% off most.
- Madewell: Extra 50% off final sale w/ LASTCHANCE (no returns or exchanges.)
- REI: Up to 40% off end of year clearance.
- Nordstrom Rack: Extra 25% off select FINAL SALE clearance. No returns or exchanges. Prices are as marked online.
