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.
TheTieBar: Free No-Rush Shipping on all orders
- Hunter Green Refinado Floral Tie – $28 10 colors available
- Navy Grenalux Tie – $28 9 colors available
- Hunter Green Border White Pocket Square – $14 17 colors available
- Black Border White Pocket Square – $14 ditto… 17 colors available
This is a quite good (and rare) deal. Here’s why: The Tie Bar’s free shipping threshold is usually $99. And usually anything under that is $6.95 for standard shipping. That’s a mighty steep additional charge at checkout if you’re shopping for just a single $28 tie or a $14 pocket square for an event. And here we are, in the season of events. So if you’re in the market for just a tie or pocket square, then your total out-the-door purchase is effectively on sale. Free no rush shipping (5-7 business days) on all orders ends this Sunday, 12/15.
Banana Republic: 40% off full price
- Italian melton wool-blend topcoats – $240 ($400) navy or gray
- Blue Italian Nailhead Wool Suit Jacket & Matching Trouser = $270 ($600)
- 100% merino thermal-knit sweater – $60 ($100) 4 colors
- Slim Italian 14 oz Selvedge Jeans – $108 ($180)
Again? BR spent most of 2024 stuck to full price (with the occasional 30% off or 2x a year 40% off Friends and Family deal) and then the holidays hit and they’re all like “YOLO here’s 40% off every couple weeks or thereabouts.” No code needed. Runs through Monday. Exclusions apply of course. Looks like cashmere and most cashmere blends are out, as is leather apparel and some (but not all) shoes.
Lorier: Holiday Restocks have landed
- Falcon 36mm Automatic – $499
- Astra 36mm Automatic – $499
- Hydra 41mm GMT Automatic – $599 review here
Well known and loved micro-brand Lorier just did a big restock for the holidays. They’re also saying that currently all orders are shipping within 1-3 business days, and if you order by December 18th it’ll deliver before Christmas. No discount, but Lorier doesn’t do that. Their watches sell fast enough that restocks warrant the mention.
GAP: 50% off + extra 10% off w/ WRAP
- The Pick: Modern Khakis in Slim, Straight, or Athletic Taper with GapFlex – $26.10 ($59.95)
The star of this GAP sale show has to be their flagship chinos. Extra 10% off with that WRAP code comes off the marked down price, so total percent off is 55% off. Extra 10% off code WRAP is set to expire this Sunday, 12/15.
J. Crew: 40% off select full
- Kenton Chelsea Boots – $176.50 ($298) 40% off
- Goodyear Welted Black Cap Toe Oxfords – $146.50 ($248) 40% off
- Secret Wash Cotton Poplin Shirts in Slim, Classic, Tall, or Untucked – $52.50 ($89.50) 41% off
- 100% Merino Wool V-Necks – $56.50 ($98) 42% off
Full picks here if you’d like them. Note that J. Crew has added a few things this past week by moving them out of the final sale section and into this 40% off no code needed deal. TL;DR: there are some good savings on bestsellers like boots and shoes which aren’t final sale yet. Perhaps they’ll move into final sale in a couple weeks when the post-Christmas clearances begin. 40% off select ends today, 12/12/24.
A note on how this sale has shifted: Some items which started this promo on final sale at 60% off have now moved OFF final sale and are now ~40% off. Notable examples would be their Dock Peacoat and Sussex jackets. Those had been ~60% off and final sale/not returnable. (See the original sale picks post here.) Maybe J. Crew realized early on that a lot of us aren’t too keen on making a big purchase like a coat without having the option of returning it in case it doesn’t fit. So perhaps that’s why they moved them off the final sale tier? It’s weird. And confusing.
BONUS J. Crew: 60% off select FINAL sale
- Rugged merino wool-blend cardigan sweater – $62.50 FINAL ($158) 60% off
- Slim or Straight fit 5-Pocket Cords – $36.50 FINAL ($98) 62% off
- 100% Cashmere Hats – $39.50 FINAL ($89.50) 55% off, (not 60% off anymore??)
- Marled Rugged Merino Wool-blend Half-zip Sweater – $42.50 FINAL ($110) 61% off
And here’s the stuff that’s (still) final sale., which means no returns or exchanges. It’s a big-time discount on in-season desirables, but the catch is (and it’s a big catch) you can’t return or exchange the 60% off stuff. It’s J. Crew’s business, but Final Sale is a dealbreaker for a lot of us. End today, 12/12/24.
BONUS II Bonobos: 25% off w/ PRESENT25 (ends Sun.)
- Unconstructed Italian Wool Blazers – $300 ($400)
- Jetsetter Knit Blazers – $262.50 ($350)
