This post will be updated over the next few days as more sales roll in. So if you so desire, check back in between flipping burgers and whatnot. We’ll be tracking the salez salez salez. Have a safe and fun Labor Day Weekend.
Bonobos 30% off most w/ SENDOFF30
- Dark Navy Glen Plaid Jetsetter Italian Wool Suit – $507.50 ($725)
- Select Weekday Warrior Stretch-Cotton Dress Pants – $83.30 ($119)
- Solid Unconstructed Italian Hopsack Wool Blazers – $280 ($400)
There are exclusions of course, but it’s worth noting that there are some carve-outs within those exclusions. For example: Weekday warrior non iron dress pants are excluded in the icon colors. But there are plenty of other colors which are getting the 30% off. Jetsetter suit separates are excluded, yet that particular dark navy glen plaid is getting the 30% off cut. Works on sale and final sale items. Final sale stuff can’t be returned or exchanged. Sale ends Wednesday.
J. Crew Factory: 70% off FINAL SALE Clearance w/ FALL70
- Knit Blazer in 97% cotton/3% polyester – $50.99 FINAL ($169.99)
- Twill chore jacket – $37.49 FINAL ($124.99)
- Linen/Cotton Button Down – $26.39 FINAL ($87.99)
- KNIT Performance oxford shirt – $17.99 FINAL ($59.99)
Just launched on Monday. All final sale though. No returns or exchanges. Code FALL70 ends Tuesday night.
BR Factory: 50-70% Off Everything + Extra 20% Off
- Cotton/Poly Mac Jacket – $88 ($220) 60% off
- Traveler Jeans in Slim or Athletic Fit – $42 ($105) 60% off
- Size shown: 32×32 Slim on 5’10″/180
- Barn Jacket – $72 ($180) 60% off
- Slim Softwash Shirts – $22.40 ($70) 68% off, 11 colors/patterns
As BR Factory is not mainline Banana Republic, but instead a step down “outlet” styled brand which is almost always having a “big” sale, it’s worth remembering that 50% off MSRP is good, 60% off is great, and more than that is rare. So to do the quick math with the extra 20% off the marked down price…
- 50% off + additional 20% off = 60% off
- 60% off + additional 20% off = 68% off
- 70% off + additional 20% off = 76% off
So yes. This is a good one. 50% – 70% off + the extra 20% off is currently set to run through 9/2.
adidas: Up to 50% off End of Summer Sale
- Ultraboost 1.0 – $135 ($185)
- Grandcourt 2.0 – $42 ($70)
- Swift run 1.0 – $60 ($80)
- Dropset 3 Weightlifting Shoes – $104 ($130)
Cheap stuff, more expensive stuff, clothes and shoes. Contemporary gear as well as more classic leaning styles. Those Dropset 3 weightlifting/training shoes are a bit of a random mention, but for those who like to pump some iron and/or do HIIT training and prefer a less squishy and more stable platform… they’re pretty great. Super ventilated too, and they run a bit wide on purpose to accommodate for foot expansion during intense workouts.
Brooks Brothers: Extra 25% off Sale Items (clothes picks)
- Classic (Regent) Fit Wool Check Sport Coat- $299.99 ($698)
- Poplin End-on-End Friday Shirt – $33.74 ($108)
- Suede Shirt Jacket – $449.99 ($1,198)
When Brooks Brothers sale items get an extra cut, as they are now, there’s almost always some steals to be had. Especially when it comes to their sportcoats. No code needed. Discount hits when you put the item in your cart. Extra 25% off ends Wednesday 9/3.
Brooks Brothers: Extra 25% off Sale Items (shoe/boot picks)
- Suede Chukkas – $202.49 ($449)
- Suede Driving Moccasins – $104.99 ($229)
- Leather Court Sneakers – $134.99 ($298)
Full review of those suede chukkas can be found here. They’re expensive at full price (read: overpriced), but on sale and getting an extra 25% off = tempting and then some.
Grant Stone: Extra 20% off their sale collection w/ LABORDAY2025
- Garrison Boot CXL #8 – $278.40 ($435) full review here
- Edward Boot Tan Brooklyn Calf – $278.40 ($435)
- Diesel Boot Natural Waxed Commander – $256 ($395)
Anyone else want to get excited about boot season approaching? Grant Stone is a major favorite around these parts. Their commitment to quality is serious, and their designs and materials are both timeless and often unique in a crowded field of heritage workwear inspired boots and timeless classics. A few different widths available depending on the model. Tap your width and then the sizes available should load. As long as it’s not a B-grade or Pre-Owned, you should be able to return or exchange. Returns will set you back a $15 pre-paid label/restocking fee, whereas exchanges are free of charge.
J. Crew: 40% off select full price w/ WEEKEND (new items added)
- Kenton Chelsea Boots – $196.80 ($328)
- Broken in Tees – $21.90 ($36.50)
- Cotton moleskin chore jackets – $136.80 ($228)
- Court Sneakers in Leather – $88.80 ($148)
UPDATE: This changed for the better. No more “up to” 40% off. It’s a flat 40% off with the code WEEKEND. Exclusions apply as usual, but they did add a bunch of new stuff in heading into the weekend. New picks here.
J. Crew Part II: Extra 50% off Final Sale w/ WEEKEND
- Cashmere Full-zip Sweater – $82.99 FINAL ($229)
- Cruiser Jacket in Double-faced Wool Blend – $84.99 FINAL ($298)
- 100% Cashmere Waffle Sweaters – $68.49 – $79.49 FINAL ($228)
- Flight Jacket in Cotton Poplin – $89.49 FINAL ($198)
New items have been added too. All final sale. No returns or exchanges. And you’ll need to manually plug in the code WEEKEND at checkout for the additional 50% off.
Christopher Ward: 29% Tariff Rollback
- C60 Trident Pro 300 – $1095 (pre order for end of Sept)
Of all consumer goods, Swiss watches have been some of the hardest hit by tariffs. But thanks to bulk importing their watches (instead of shipping direct to their customers where the tariff would be calculated by the full MSRP), Christoper Ward has been able to roll back the additional 29% tariff implemented when the original 90 day pause expired. There are still tariffs, but the price you see is the price you pay (excluding any mandatory local and state sales tax). No more extra charges at checkout, and the prices are back to where they were in July, if not lower. It’s called Tariff Engineering, and it’s absolutely a thing.
Billy Reid: Additional 25% off FINAL Sale w/ EXTRA25
- Ottoman Knit Sport Coat – $118.87 FINAL ($398)
- Suede Barracuda Jacket – $561.37 FINAL ($1498)
- Diamond Quilt Shawl Collar – $85.12 FINAL ($228)
- Pensacola Polos – $36.37 FINAL ($98)
Feels like the end of the line for the stuff in their sale section as all of it appears to be final sale. No returns or exchanges. So be extra certain before you complete any purchase.
VAER: Up to 25% off Labor day Sale
- USA Assembled VAER C5 Ameriquartz 40mm or 36mm – $311 ($389)
- DS4 Meridian Black No Date – Solar 42mm – $295 ($369)
- USA Assembled D4 Meridian Black Matte USA Solar 38mm – $415 ($519)
A solid sale from VAER, and it includes a couple of their bestsellers too. That C5 Ameriquartz is quite the GADA (go-anywhere, do-anything) watch. 40mm case size is wearable by almost all, 20mm lug width is as common as it comes, and even the bracelet has quick release pins. So swapping it out for a leather strap (or the free rubber strap it comes with) is super easy. 100m of water resistance and a screw down crown means it can be a faithful companion in and out of the water, worry free. Assembled in the USA and even uses a manufactured in the US Ameriquartz movement.
Target: Up to 50% off select clothing
- Goodfellow Every Wear 9″ Flat Front Chino Shorts – $12 ($20)
- Goodfellow Slim Fit Jeans – $25.20 ($36)
- All in Motion 8″ Golf Shorts – $24 ($30)
Goodfellow, All in Motion, etc. And there’s a lot of “etc.” in there to sift through. Yet there are some favorites from Goodfellow and All in Motion too.
Timex: 25% off select w/ Sunset25
- Waterbury Metropolitan Automatic 41mm – $209.25 ($279)
- Q Timex Continental GMT 39mm – $141.75 ($189)
- Waterbury Traditional Chronograph 41mm – $141.75 ($189)
- Waterbury Metropolitan Sub-Seconds 39mm – $111.75 ($149)
Includes a few unexpected models, like some of their new “Icons” collection. That silver tone automatic shown above is of particular note… 21 jewel Miyota automatic movement, leather strap with deployant clasp, and smart looks. It’s certainly not a cheap Timex, but it does look like a watch which should cost a lot more. Code Sunset25 is set to expire at Midnight PT on 9/2.
REI: Labor Day Sale (Darn Tough Socks!)
- Darn Tough Animal Haus lifestyle no cushion socks – $18.69 ($25)
- Darn Tough Sawtooth lifestyle light cushion socks – $18.69 ($25)
- Darn Tough Light Hiker Micro Crew light cushion Socks – $18.69 ($25)
- Darn Tough Hiker Boot Medium Cushion Sock Cushion Socks – $20.99 ($28)
Being that Darn Tough doesn’t run sales themselves, if you wanna save a few bucks, then you have to catch a sale at REI or somewhere else which carries them. Made in Vermont, merino blend, lots of different styles, cushioning levels, etc. They’re the best.
Jack Erwin 15% off select
A mix of dress, casual, and some sneakers. They say “almost everything,” but… that appears to be a bit of a stretch. There’s plenty of exclusions. Depending on the model & color, some common sizes appear to be moving out the door though. Lots of Blake stitched in Portugal models. No code needed.
Huckberry: Extra 15% off Sale Items
- Walden (Huckberry) Airman – $54.40 FINAL ($99)
- Taylor Stitch The Emerson Blazer – $159.80 ($298)
- Godinger Dublin 5 Piece Whiskey Set – $28.05 ($55)
- Made in the USA Red Wing Beckman Cigar Excalibur – $339.15 ($400)
Ends Monday night. Full picks are here. A few final sale items but most of it can be returned/exchanged.
Banana Republic: Extra 20% off Sale Items
- Navy Signature Italian Hopsack Suit Jacket – $219.99 ($400)
- Matching trouser – $111.99. Full suit price = $331.98
- Taupe Italian Wool Ventile (half-lined) Jacket – $259.99 ($400)
- RAEN Spyre Aviators – $71.99 ($190)
- RAEN Rifka Sunglasses – $71.99 ($150)
- Cotton Blend Sweater – $119.99 ($180)
- Selvedge Jeans in Straight – $87.99 or Slim Fit – $59.99 ($180)
Eneds Monday night. This is mainline Banana Republic, not their step-down Factory brand. BR’s sale section has gotten a few surprisingly good new additions, and that extra 20% off is even working on shoes and 3rd party goods. Often during regular price sales/promos, 3rd party and shoes are excluded. Not the case here. Watch out for anything tagged as final sale. That stuff can’t be returned or exchanged.
Amazon: Labor Day Sale randomness
- Straight Fit Amazon Essentials 98% Cotton, 2% Elastane Jeans – $13.95 ($25)
- Slim Fit Amazon Essentials 99% Cotton, 1% Elastane Jeans – $13.95 ($25)
- Clarks Men’s Bushacre 3 Chukka Boots – $55 ($110)
- adidas Men’s Tiro 23 League Training Jacket – $28.98 ($55)
- Tissot Gentleman Automatic 40mm Dress Watch – $494.99 ($825)
- Faux Leather Sidewinder Mid-Century Modern Accent Chair – $257.01 ($339)
The well loved Bushacre 3 for fifty-five smackaroos is solid. To be clear, they’re never at full price. But fifty-five bucks is quite good. And the Tissot Gentelman dropping under $500 is really nice, especially considering the hefty tariffs on Switzerland at post time.
WP Standard: 20% off sitewide
- The Woodward Briefcase – $278.40 ($348) shown at left
- PanAm Leather Duffel Bag – $359.20 ($449)
No code needed. Full review of the Woodward briefcase can be found here.
Gustin: End of Summer Stock FINAL Sale
Lots of on-sale, made in the USA goodness at Gustin right now. But with this stuff there’s no waiting for a pre-order campaign to fund & then for the goods to be made. This is all stuff they already have on hand, in stock, and ready to ship. Problem is it appears to be most if not all final sale. No returns or exchanges. And as they’re almost entirely a pre-order model and don’t hang on to much if any stock, this stuff will probably move very fast. Also note that there’s a free shipping code, BYESUMMER, but it only applies to “featured stock“, which is a super limited selection of the event. Many thanks to Daniel for the tip.
Nordstrom Rack: Even MORE New Arrivals
- Rhone Aux Mac Coat – $139.97 ($298)
- Allen Edmonds Hamilton Weatherproof Dress Boots – $199.97 ($495)
- Antonio Maurizi Cap Toe Oxfords – $179.97
- Nordstrom Trim Fit Premium Non-Iron Dress Shirt – $49.97 ($89.50)
It’s the off-price places (Nordstrom Rack, TJ Maxx, etc…) which seem to thrive when a consumer economy goes a bit haywire. It’s where shops and brands send stuff that they just couldn’t move. And sometimes, it’s less about the thing, and more about timing.
Ledbury: 30% off $150+
The Combo Pick:
- White 94% Nylon 6% Spandex True Performance Fabric MTO Dress Shirt ($145)
- Ice blue 94% Nylon 6% Spandex True Performance Fabric MTO Dress Shirt ($145)
= $203 total (normally $290)
Spendy shirts but worth the splurge to many. Ledbury did what so many have tried and failed to do… They made a true dress shirt out of a breathable, wicking, smooth performance fabric, and the collar feels and acts like a real dress shirt collar. That’s where so many performance fabric dress shirts fail miserably… the collars are always too casual. Not with these. The collars are terrific. Great with a tie. Looks exceptionally sharp without a tie too, thanks to their structure and the slightly lowered 2nd button. Don’t want performance fabric? The 30% off $150 works on their cotton shirts too. Do note that these are from their made-to-order line. Much more precise measurement in terms of fit, and you get to pick the collar style. Mid spread dress or hidden button down looks terrific without a tie, if that’s your thing. Also know that these take a few weeks in terms of delivery, as they make them once you input your options.
Spier & Mackay: Up to 20% off select End of Summer Sale
- Core Line Half Canvas Wool Suits – $403.20 ($448) 5 colors, 10% off
- Goodyear Welted Chukkas – $254.40 ($318)
Select items only, and the key words are “up to”. So lots of stuff isn’t 20% off. But those Goodyear Welted chukkas sure are.
Also worth a mention:
- adidas: Up to 50% off
- Todd Snyder: Extra 30% off Sale and Final Sale items w/ EXTRA30
- GAP: 40%-60% off most + additional 10% off w/ LABORDAY

- Mizzen+Main: $50 off $300, $100 off $500 w/ LABORBMSM
- Filson: Spend $300, save $50. Spend $500, save $100. Spend $750, save $175. Spend $1000, save $250.
NOTE: This post will be updated through the long weekend.
