Nordstrom: Summer Sale
- Nordstrom beige 98% wool, 2% elastane Sportcoat – $199.99 ($349)
- Nordstrom navy plaid 58% virgin wool, 42% linen Sportcoat – $259.35 ($399)

- Nordstrom Print Short Sleeve Stretch Button-Up Shirt – $47.70 ($79.50)
And as this is mainline Nordstrom (not Nordstrom Rack) everything ships and returns for free. Feels like end-of-season clearance, although there’s plenty of 4-season stuff in there too. Sizes can get scattered depending on the item and color you’re after.
Old Navy: 40% 50% off Rotation Chinos – $26.99 $21.99 ($44.99)
Friday Update: Old Navy has launched a one day, 50% off most men’s clothes event. So these are down to $22 for Friday.
Slim, Straight, or Athletic fit. Pretty sure the most these ever get marked down by is 50% off. So while 40% off isn’t as good as it gets, it’s still pretty good, especially here in end of shorts/”I need new pants” season.
lululemon: Select Warpstreme Shorts – $59 FINAL ($88)
- 9″ Commission Classic-Fit Shorts – $59 FINAL ($88)
- 7″ Commission Classic-Fit Shorts – $59 FINAL ($88)
“especially here in the end of shorts season”- the Old Navy sale
… OR IS IT?!??! In case it’s very much not the end of shorts season for you, and you’re good with splurging on lululemon’s (excellent) warpstreme fabric. Final sale though. Members can return in-store for credit and credit only. Otherwise, no returns or exchanges.
Nordstrom Rack: Allen Edmonds Hamilton Weatherproof Dress Boots – $199.97 ($495)
Strand-boots, in a versatile deep brown, plus they’re weatherproof. Well okay then. Free shipping kicks in at $89, so outbound these’ll ship for free. Returns are free in-store (Norstrom or Nordstrom Rack). Returns through UPS/the mail will set you back a pre-paid label.
J. Crew: “Everyday Styles” Select Items Sale
- Ludlow Slim-fit suit jacket in English cotton-wool blend – $242.50 ($348)
- Ludlow Slim-fit suit pant in English cotton-wool blend – $136.50 ($198)

- Straight-fit jean in Japanese stretch selvedge denim – $106.50 ($178) 40% off
- Heritage cotton cable-knit shawl-collar sweater – $99.50 ($168) 40% off
J. Crew’s big 40% off Labor Day event is over. Like, real over. It was fun while it lasted but a lot of the most eye catching stuff has gone back to full price or thereabouts. Yet there’s always “another train comin'” with J. Crew, and this mini sale still has some new fall arrivals and wheelhouse standards in it at decent if not Labor Day level discounts.
Also worth a mention:
- BR Factory: Up to 50% off + additional 20% off (no code needed)
- adidas: Up to 50% off during their end of summer sale
- J. Crew Factory: Extra 15% off select shoes, suiting, and outerwear w/ EXTRAWINS
