NOTE: Did you know President Chester A. Arthur owned 80 pairs of trousers? Perhaps not. Were you aware this weekend is a long weekend (for some) as Monday is Presidents’ Day? You do now. Presidents’ Day Weekend is one of the quieter federal-holiday 3-day weekends on the calendar, but it’s also the first big(ish) sales weekend of the year. This post will be updated as more deals roll in over the coming days.
Banana Republic: Extra 20% off Sale items
- Italian Merino Half-zip Sweaters – $27.99 ($100) navy, gray, black, etc…
- Italian Wool Blend Plaid Sportcoat – $239.99 ($400)
- Blue Italian Nailhead Wool Suit Jacket & Matching Trouser = $387.98 ($600)
No code needed. Discount should apply at checkout. This is mainline BR. Not their step-down/cheaper (yet still stylish) BR Factory brand.
J. Crew Factory: 50% off everything + extra 20% off $100+ for rewards members
- Classic single-breasted coat – $114 / $91.20 for members ($136.50)

A flat and easy half off. Nice. And now for the weekend, their “Passport” rewards club members (easy email sign up) get an additional 20% off $100+ at checkout as long as you remember to check the little offer box at checkout.
Gustin: Stock Sale
The Pick: USA Made CXL #8 Horween Leather Deluxe Briefcase – $359 FINAL ($429) review here
As Gustin is mostly a pre-order model, they don’t carry that much stock. So when they run a sale on said stock, it’s very much worth a note. Hearty stuff, mostly made in the USA, and drool worthy to the “buy less buy better” crowd. The price on those Deluxe Leather Briefcases has finally fallen victim to inflation, so catching a sale is the way to go for most of us. Final sale on that briefcase though. No returns or exchanges.
Nordstrom Rack: Extra 40% off select FINAL SALE Sweaters, Boots, & Outerwear
- Nordstrom Rack Suede Bomber Jacket – $89.97 FINAL ($299) brown or navy
- Rodd & Gunn Plaid Wool Blend Trucker Jacket – $77.98 FINAL ($398)
- Amicale Merino Feeder Stripe Piqué Sweater – $59.99 FINAL ($295)
- Warfield & Grand Eastwood Boot – $53.97 FINAL ($195)
- AllSaints Grey Suede Harley Chelsea Boot – $42.88 FINAL ($299)
- Warfield & Grand Woods Chukka – $53.94 FINAL ($185)
Small selection but surprisingly okay for verrrrry end of the line clearance. No returns or exchanges. All final sale. Prices are as marked.
Target: 30% off activewear / up to 40% off select men’s clothing
- All in Motion Performance Jersey Polos – $14 ($20)
- All in Motion Performance 5-pocket pants – $28 ($40)
As good as it gets for the as-good-as-you’ll-find (for CHEAP) performance 5 pockets and smooth jersey knit polos from their All in Motion line.
Huckberry: NEW Sale Items, Restocks, + Winter Sale “Leftovers”
- USA Made F&T WOOL lined Gray Waxed Trucker – $322 ($358)
- Made in Portugal Wills Garment Dyed Stretch-Cotton Blazer – $182 ($228)
- Made in the USA Red Wing Chukkas – $200 ($250)
- Made in the USA Rancourt Wingtip Boots – $256 ($395)
- Relwen Windzip Jackets – $214 ($268) four colors
- Relwen Waxed Trap Blazer – $238 ($298) great alternative to the pricey Barbour Skyfall blazer.
Wow the Huck sale section is in flux right now. And that’s good! Some sold out stuff is back in stock and still on sale, while other items are completely new to the sale section or getting further price cuts. Remember that free shipping kicks in at $89, and unless it’s marked as final sale (there are those items in there) it should return free and easy.
J. Crew: Pre-Spring Event

*SUNDAY UPDATE: J. Crew (along with their step down Factory brand) has ALSO just launched an additional 20% off purchases of $100+ for their Passport rewards club. Just check the box at checkout. Note that there are a ton of exclusions (suiting, 3rd party, stretch chinos) but there are some pretty solid steals with this one all the same. More info here if you’d like it, and the prices above, where applicable, have been updated to reflect the additional 20% off for members.
Billed as 40% off… but it just doesn’t feel that way. Sure there’s some gems in there, but significantly discounted items (like the advertised 40% off) are scattered at best. Wondering if they might turn up the heat on this relatively chilly sale in the coming days? No code needed, and it’s set to run through next Wednesday 2/19. Best of the best from this perspective are shown above with our picks.
adidas: 30% off select w/ SAVE
- Barreda Decode – $63 ($90)
Had been a members only/had to log in deal. But it’s now open to everyone. Lots of exclusions, but as the weather someday should turn towards sneakers and away from boots, now’s not a bad time to give it a look if you’re a fan of the three stripes.
Brooks Brothers: Extra 25% off Clearance Items
- Grey Merino Wool Gingham Sportcoat – $262.49 ($598) three fits
- Ripstop Field Jacket – $66.74 ($298)
- Madras Cotton Pocket Square – $18.74 ($55)
- Suede Hayden Camp Chukkas – $93.74 ($248)
- Fine Merino Wool Half Zips – $74.99 ($198) select colors
- Classic Fit Sport Coat in Plaid Shetland Wool Tweed – $299.99 ($698)
Runs clear through next Wednesday the 19th. Decent selection at post time, but not overly extensive. Still worth a look if you like Brooks Brothers but have to wait for when their “sale’s on sale” like many of us do.
Timex: 20% off select w/ Love20
- Deepwater Reef GMT – $215.20 ($269)
- Blue Dial Deepwater Reef 200 41mm Synthetic Rubber Strap Watch – $159.20 ($199)
- 39mm World Time Reissue – $143.20 ($179)
- Legacy 41mm Leather Strap Watch – $111.20 ($139) 3 colors
- M79 Automatic 40mm Red/Black Bezel – $115.99 ($289)
- Waterbury Chronograph 41mm Leather Strap Watch – $151.20 ($189)
Select watches, and while it feels like mostly the same old models they put up for these kinds of sales, a more intense inspection reveals that there’s some new models in there too. Like a couple of the Deepwater reefs.
Nordstrom: New Items added to their winter sale
- Nordstrom Milzo Plaid Wool Sport Coat – $279.29 ($399)
- BOSS Huge Plaid Stretch Wool Suit – $447.50 ($895)
- Gordon Rush Concord Wingtip – $159.90 ($225)
- Nordstrom Trim Fit Dress Shirts – $39.99 ($59.50)
- Nordstrom Edison Double Monk Strap – $64.96 ($99.95)
- Nordstrom lightly insulated Wool Mac with inset bib – $318.75 ($425)
- Made in Italy Billy Reid Subtle Plaid Boiled Wool Coat – $598.79 ($998)
As this is happening at Nordstrom proper (and not Nordstrom Rack) everything should ship and return for free. A pretty good batch of new items, and some further price reductions on stuff that’s been cookin’ in their sale section since the holidays.
Macy’s: 25% off select watches
- Seiko “Cocktail Time” Automatic – $318.75 ($425) reviewed here
- Seiko GMT Automatic – $356.25 ($475) also reviewed here
- Seiko Automatic 5 Sports Khaki Nylon Strap Watch – $221.25 ($295)
- Seiko (New!) Samurai Automatic – $431.25 ($575)
- Seiko 5 Sports Dive Style – $243.75 ($325)
- Bulova Automatic Surveyor Green Dial – $318.75 ($425)
- Citizen Automatic Promaster Dive Black Strap Watch – $596.25 ($795)
Macy’s usually runs 15% or 20% off deals on their watches (when not stuck to full price), so 25% off is significant. And a reminder that since they’re an authorized dealer, you’ll be getting a full-faith-and-credit-warranty from the manufacturer. That’s not always the case (if ever) when buying through gray market dealers over Amazon, eBay, etc.
Charles Tyrwhitt: 25% off
- “Proper” Blazer – $284.25 ($375)
- Wool Texture Twill Check Jacket – $336.75 ($449)
- Wool Twill Silk Jacket – $336.75 ($449)
- Brogued Cap Toe Oxfords – $194.25 ($259)
- Suede Chukkas – $209.25 ($275)
Quite good for CT when it comes to their non-shirts stuff. And they do sell a lot more than just shirts. Foundational blazers, good shoes, merino sweaters, etc. No code necessary. But don’t forget that as they ship from the UK, there will be some higher than normal shipping costs to account for at checkout.
Madewell: Extra 30% off final sale w/ SALEONSALE
- Italian Wool-Blend Sportcoats – $90.99 – $118.99 FINAL ($328)
Appears to be mostly/close to all final sale though. No returns or exchanges on anything tagged as such.
UNIQLO: Winter Clearance Markdowns
- Ultra Light Down Vest – $39.90
- Wool Cashmere Chesterfield Coat – $99.90
- Ultra Light Down Parka – $59.90
End of the line for their winter goods. Sizes are scattered depending on color/item. If memory serves, those chesterfield coats are $199 full price.
Bonobos: Extra 30% off Sale & Final Sale items w/ COOL30
- Jetsetter Unconstructed Blazer – $153.30 FINAL ($475)
- Italian Brushed 5-Pocket Pants – $69.30 ($169)
Watch out for final sale stuff. There’s lots in their sale section right now that’s got the (dreaded) final sale moniker. Anything that’s final sale can’t be returned or exchanged.
Rancourt: Annual Pre-Order* Event
(*est. ship: late June/July)
Yes the wait time is lonnnnng. But the savings are significant, and it’s supporting a heritage American shoemaker. It’s not for everyone (either in model or the classic styling of their shoes) but for those who love classic American footwear and don’t mind the wait, it sure is something.
Also worth a mention:
- J. Crew: Extra 50% off select final sale styles w/ SHOPSALE
- Target: Goodfellow & Co. seasonal clearance is still going
- LL Bean: Their End of Season sale is on
- Banana Republic FACTORY: 57.5% off most (50% off + additional 15% off)
