When did early July become Black Friday -> Cyber Monday Part II, The Prequal? Here’s the best of the Prime-Day competition, with a few specific picks from each sale worth calling out.
Bonobos: 30% off select w/ HEAT30
- Unconstructed Italian Hopsack Wool Blazers – $280 ($400)
- 6 colors, shown top of post in navy, review here
- Unconstructed Italian Wool/Cotton/Linen Basketweave Blazer – $332.50 ($475)
- Tech Performance Short Sleeve Shirts – $48.30* – $62.30 ($89)
- *select colors/patterns are already on sale, and HEAT30 stacks
- Jetsetter Italian Linen Dress Pant – $175 ($250)
- Linen Blend Boardwalk Pant – $83.30 ($119)
- Coastal 5-Pocket Pant – $97.30 ($139)
Billed as a “Heat of the Moment” sale. Stacks on sale and final sale stuff too. Remember anything tagged as final can’t be returned or exchanged. But other than that, it should ship/return for free. Usual exclusions (like their flagship stretch washed chinos) apply. Runs through this Sunday, 7/13.
Old Navy: 50% off most
- 8″ Tech Hybrid Chino Shorts – $19.99 ($25ish ) 6 colors, khaki is almost sold out
- Slim Fit Tech Hybrid Pants – $26.99 ($40ish)
- STRAIGHT Fit Tech Hybrid Pants – $27.49 ($40ish)
Obligatory reminder that while Old Navy calls their full performance twill (no cotton) shorts (and pants) “hybrid”… there’s no liner in these, unlike the Huckberry Wellen hybrid shorts mentioned over in the Amazon post. But they’re pretty great for a very affordable price. Full review here.
Charles Tyrwhitt: Their Summer Sale is live
- Navy Wool Proper Blazer – $199 ($299)
- Dark Chocolate Leather Oxford Brogues – $149 ($259)
- White Non-Iron Westminster Weave Shirt – $49.75
- Cornflower Blue Gingham Non-Iron Twill Dress Shirt – $44.75
- Steel Blue Italian Stretch-Wool Check Suit – $429 ($699)
“Isn’t Charles Tyrwhitt on sale all the time?” Yeah, pretty much. But instead of a bulk buy deal or code floating around the web/landing in your inbox, this is more of a true seasonal clearance. And these sales with them are historically pretty good. I mean, their wheelhouse “Proper” wool blazer for two hundred bucks is pretty great. It won’t be unlined and extra breezy like the Bonobos option, but if you want a navy blazer to build your foundation around, it could be your winner. Be aware that their stuff ships from the UK, so shipping at checkout can be steep, although their shipments are delivery duty paid.
Darn Tough: Free Shipping No Minimum
- Limited Edition Letterman Crew Lightweight Lifestyle Sock – $25
- The Standard Crew Cushioned Lightweight Lifestyle Socks – $25
- Solid Crew Lightweight Lifestyle Socks – $24
As Darn Tough doesn’t do sales and their free shipping doesn’t usually kick in until $50, this is as good as it gets. It’s the best time to give their socks a try OR grab another pair to stock up. They are the best. Full stop. Tons of styles, cushioning levels, heights, designs, etc. The merino wool blend(s) they use are amazing. Wicking, temperature regulating, etc. Offer ends tomorrow, Wed. 7/9 at midnight PT.
J. Crew: 30% off select full price w/ SHOPNOW
- Ludlow Slim-fit unstructured suit jacket in Irish cotton-linen blend – $208.60 ($298)
- Ludlow Slim-fit suit pant in Irish cotton-linen blend – $138.60 ($198)
Eligible items are scattered about their site. Tons of exclusions of course, but it’s nice to see their super-summery, unconstructed “unsuit” suit separates in Irish Cotton Linen getting the 30% off. If you have no interest in purchasing the pants, the jackets themselves make for great sportcoats, and look good with chinos, performance/golf trousers, and even jeans in the fall.
Also worth a mention:
- Banana Republic: Extra 20% off Sale Items
- Billy Reid: 30% off + Additional 25% off select Sale w/ EXTRA25
- Brooks Brothers: Extra 25% off Clearance Items
- adidas: Up to 40% off summer savings event
