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.
Old Navy: 50% off Rotation Chinos and (most) 4.0 Tech Chinos
- Rotation Chinos in Slim, Straight, or Athletic Fit – $24.99 ($49.99)
- Tech Ultimate 4.0 Chino Pants in Straight or Athletic Fit – $27.49 ($54.99)
50% off all of their 98% Cotton / 2% Spandex Rotation Chinos. Same goes for their 4.0 Tech Chinos, except the slim fit 4.0 Tech Chinos, which are only 30% – 40% off. BTW those tech chinos are mainly cotton: 79% cotton, 17% nylon, 4% spandex.
Brooks Brothers: Dress & Sport Shirts 4 for $269
The 4-shirt Combo Pick:
- (Flagship) Stretch Supima Cotton Non-Iron Twill ($128) +
- Explorer Collection Non-Iron Twill ($138) +
- Friday Oxford Shirt, Candy Striped ($118)
- Chambray Cotton Poplin Polo Button Down Collar, Sport Shirt ($148) +
- = $269 Total ($532 full price for all four)
Ends Tuesday 3/24. Part of their ongoing Wardrobe Event. Works out to $67.29 per shirt. That’s good! They’re really good shirts. What’s not good is that you have to buy 4 shirts at once. That’s a lot of shirts. Most of us usually buy one or two shirts at a time. I mean, three is pushing it. Four seems like a lot. At least you can mix and match between dress and sport shirts to hit that threshold. So a couple of dress shirts and a couple of OCBDs or more casual poplins would do the trick.
BR: 40% off full price
+ stacks on select already on-sale specials
- Wrinkle Resistant Dress Shirts in Slim or Standard Fit – $42 ($70/$90)
- Braided Cotton Belts – $27 ($45/$60) 3 colors
- Slub Double Knit Crewneck T-shirts – $33 ($55/$70) 9 colors
- Merino Thermal Knit Sweaters – $60 ($100/$120) 3 colors
The 40% off friends and family deal doesn’t work on Banana Republic’s clearance section (items ending in $.99 or $.97)… yet it DOES work on “full price items” that are on special and marked down with a price still ending in $.00. Confusing? Totally. Items on special getting the extra 40% off are scattered throughout their site. There’s not a ton to pick from, but they’re there.
Amazon: Their “Big Spring Sale” starts Wed. 3/25
Somewhere Boxy the Box head is snorting Flonase to get ready. And yes, Amazon sells Flonase. Maybe that too will be “up to 40% off” come next Wednesday. But as Dappered is allegedly a Men’s Style website, we’ll try to stick to clothes and watches and the like. Maybe they’ll do another round of discounted BR/GAP/Old Navy gift cards?
Amazon Part II: 15% off the Citizen Nighthawk – $236.46 ($278.66)
Normally priced closer to $300, Citizen’s Nigthawk is one, busy watch. But it still somehow looks good without feeling like it’s trying too hard. Probably because everything about it is supremely functional. Pilot watch style with sword hands. An additional GMT hand so you can tell the time across separate time zones. It even has a slide rule. Yes, a slide rule. Movement is Citizen’s very popular, very accurate, solar powered quartz Eco-Drive movement. The Nighthawk also features one of the best bracelets you can find on a watch under $500.
J. Crew: Random markdowns on some new arrivals
- Long-sleeve crewneck in striped maritime jersey – $56.50 ($98) 42% off
- Washed piqué long-sleeve pocket T-shirt – $49.50 ($85) 41% off
- Performance blend piqué polos – $54.50 ($79.50) 31% off
Lost in the sauce of their big semi annual suit sale is the fact that J. Crew has also put some pretty decent transitional weather pieces on sale for a good chunk off. Hard not to like the looks of those striped crews.
Also worth a mention:
- J. Crew: 30% off select Suit Separates, Shirts, and more
- Bonobos: 30% off most w/ BIGSPRING
- Madewell: Insiders get 25% off + free shipping
- J. Crew Factory: Rewards members get an additional 15% off when they login and use FAMILY at checkout.
