Spier Suit Sale, Billy Reid Extra 25% off, & More – The Thursday Sales Handful

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.

 

adidas: Purchase a $50 giftcard for $40 (up to 5 gift cards)

• Handball Spezial Sneakers – $90 ($110) with 2 $50-for-$40 gift cards + $10 cash
• Samba OG Sneakers – $80 ($100) with 2 $50-for-$40 gift cards
• Stan Smith Luxe Sneakers – $100 ($120) with 2 $50-for-$40 gift cards + $20 cash
  • Review of the Stan Smith Luxe can be found here

This is a pretty good work-around for saving some money on adidas sneakers or gear which is usually excluded. You can buy up to 5 gift cards at a time. So if a pair of sneakers costs $100, such as the Samba OGs, buy two $50 gift cards at $40 a pop, wait the “up to 2 hours” to get your e-giftcards in your email, and then save twenty bucks at checkout when you use them. No returns or exchanges on giftcards. Once you by one, it’s yours.

 

Brooks Brothers: Select Coats and Sweaters Limited Time Sale

The Pick: Wool-Blend Shell “Tech Puffer” – $299 ($798)

UPDATE: Big thanks to Max on the socials who has pointed out that when you select a size and try to add this coat to your cart… the price reverts back to full. Feels like a glitch. Might be worth reaching out to BB Customer Service if you’re super serious about buying it, and or keeping an eye out for this to get fixed on their site. Weird.

Nothing says late February like the days starting to get noticeably longer, the random robin freezing its tail off in a (bare) tree, and brands like Brooks Brothers really looking to move their coats and sweaters along with hefty discounts. Note that the tech puffer above is not quite the same as the one shown at the very top of the post. That one is ALSO a Brooks Brothers wool-blend flannel shell tech-puffer, but it’s from a few years back and quite obviously has notch lapels. The shown-above on-sale tech puffer from this past season has a stand collar/funnel neck. Still, great coats.

 

Billy Reid: Extra 25% off Final Sale items w/ FINALSALE

• Made in Italy Boiled Wool Sport Coat – $298.88 FINAL ($798)
• Mouline Shawl Pullover – $67.88 FINAL ($228)
• Suede Tupelo Trucker – $411.38 FINAL ($1098)
• Cotton/Elastane Textured Knit Sport Coat – $118.88 FINAL ($398)

No returns or exchanges on any of this stuff. Which is a real bummer, because even when their end-of-season-clearance is on sale, Billy Reid’s stuff isn’t exactly cheap. So these are real risks.

 

Spier & Mackay: Up to 20% off Select Suits

• Navy Italian Stretch Wool “travel” Suit – $398.40 ($498) 20% off
• Medium Gray Italian Stretch Wool “travel” Suit – $398.40 ($498) 20% off

Goodbye WFH, hello return of the 5-day (or more) grind? Even if you’re not in a suit M-F, but still have occasion to dress up every now and then, Spier’s suits really do maximize bang for the bucks. Nice fabrics, great construction, and really fair pricing. Key words for this sale are “up to.” So not everything is gonna be 20% off. Some suits are 15% off. Those Stretch Wool suits made with Italian Fabric (constructed in China) are of particular note. Slim or Contemporary Fits. 95% wool / 5% stretch. And if it’s your first suit purchase with them, it ships/returns for free. After that, returns for a suit will set you back a $14.95 pre-paid label.

 

Rancourt: Annual Wholesale Pre-order event ends Sunday(?)

Reminder: This is a pre-order, shipping dates are approximate, and estimates are these will ship end of June, 2025

• Camden Derby in Heritage Brown – $258 ($398)
• Beefroll Penny Loafers Natural CXL – $208 ($328)
• Classic Ranger Moc in Heritage Brown – $188 ($288)

Pretty sure it ends Sunday. This is as good as a price you’ll find for Rancourts, and you’re ordering direct through the brand. The catch is this is a pre-order and it takes a lonnnnnng time for these things to deliver. But as they make their shoes in Maine by hand, some are just fine with supporting American craftspeople, saving quite a bit of money, and sacrificing the “I need it NOW-ness” of our current world. That said, with the way said “current world” feels, the end of June feels a long, long way off.

 

BONUS  UNIQLO: Further Winter Clearance Markdowns

• Ultra Light Down Vest – $29.90 ($39.90)
• Wool Cashmere Chesterfield Coat – $79.90 ($99.90)
• Ultra Light Down Parka – $49.90 ($59.90)

A few more bucks off a few of their popular end-of-season items. End of the line for this stuff. Sizes are scattered depending on color/item. If memory serves, those chesterfield coats are $199 full price.

 

Also worth a mention:

• J. Crew: Extra 50% off final sale styles w/ EXTRA
• Nordstrom: Their sale section is still pretty packed with lots of end of season clearance
• Brooks Brothers: 3 Shirts for $199
• Target: Goodfellow & Co. seasonal clearance is still going
