Long Weekend Men’s Sales Roundup – BR Factory, Allen Edmonds, Amazon, & More

This post will be updated through the weekend as more sales roll in. A reminder that come Memorial Day we won’t be posting. On Monday, maybe consider spending some of that style budget on a donation to the USO, the EOD Warrior Foundation, Special Ops Warrior Fund, or another organization dedicated to our veterans and their families. A huge thank you to all in the readership who have served, as well as those who are currently serving.

 

BR Factory: 62.5% off most (casual picks)

• Standard-Fit “Premium Wash” Tees – $11.25 ($30)
• Lived in Chinos – $35.62 ($95) 3 fits
• Linen/Cotton 7″ Deck Shorts – $25 ($75) 66% off
• Slim Softwash Cotton Short Sleeve Shirts – $24.37 ($65)

Deal is 50% – 70% off MSRP with an additional 25% off in your cart. Most items are tagged as 50% off + getting the additional 25% off = 62.5% off MSRP. A reminder that as BRF is a “factory” brand, they’re almost always on deep discount. But anything more than 60% off is great for them relative to their other sales and promos. So yes, this is a good one.

 

BR Factory: 62.5% off most (dressed up picks)

• Blue Linen Blend Glen Plaid Suit Separates – $198.75 ($530)
• Flax Linen Blend Herringbone Suit Separates – $198.75 ($530)
• 98% cotton/2% spandex Slim or Athletic Fit Dress Shirts – $30 ($80)

And some dressed up stuff. A key to shopping dress clothes at step down/diffusion brands like BRF is to look at the fabric makeup. Avoid all synthetic stuff. That’s where costs get cut. That said, they’ve got some linen-blend items ready for summer.

 

Allen Edmonds: Extra 20% off Sale AND Factory 2nds

• Fifth Avenue Cap-toe Oxfords – $295.20 ($450)
• Randolph Bit Loafers in Suede – $239.98 ($475)
• Factory Second Strand Oxfords – $239.20 ($450) $25 restocking fee on returns

Prices are as marked online. They’ve already taken an extra 20% off sale items at Allen Edmonds, and it’s also an additional 20% off at the Factory 2nds Shoebank website. BUT…

1. Factory 2nds returns will set you back a steep $25 restocking fee. So be careful with anything tagged as such.
2. They’re still mixing Factory 2nds into the main site’s sale section, which makes things all the more confusing.

Full details and a review of the Factory 2nds buying experience can be found in this post here.

 

Old Navy: 50% off

The Pick: Performance “chino” shorts – $19.99 ($39.99) full review here

Set to end (and roll over into something new?) Wednesday night. Half off their performance-fabric shorts is absolutely worth a mention. They look like regular chino shorts, but stretch, breathe, and overall just feel great. Full review here.

 

Ledbury: 30% off $150+

The Summer-is-coming 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)

Their regular 100% cotton non-iron twills are excellent, but as we’re heading into summer, their true-performance fabric line needs to be mentioned.

Ledbury did what Rhone couldn’t do. They made a true dress shirt out of a breathable, wicking, smooth performance fabric… and the collar feels and acts like a true dress collar. That’s where so many performance fabric dress shirts fail miserably… the collars are always too casual. (See the otherwise excellent Rhone commuter, which wears more like a tech OCBD than a dress shirt). Not with these. The collars are terrific. Great with a tie. And the mid-spread (or hidden button down) looks exceptionally sharp without a tie as well, thanks to their structure and the slightly lowered 2nd button. No more “one unbuttoned not enough/two is too much” debate.

NOTE: These are from their made-to-order line. Much more precise measurement in terms of fit, and you get to pick the collar style too. 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.

 

Sunski: 25% off

• Astra Polarized Aviators – $90 ($120)
• Madrona Polarized Wayfarer-style – $44 ($58)
• Estero Polarized Aviators – $90 ($120)

Yes the price on a pair of Sunski’s has gone up. But so has the price on a shed-load of other stuff. At least the 25% off helps. They make good shades in some unique (but not goofy) styles, and as a brand they’re not perpetually on sale.

 

J. Crew 40% off select full price (exp 5/26)

• Baird McNutt Short Sleeve Irish linen shirts – $65.50 ($110)
• 1040 Athletic Tapered-fit stretch chino pant – $58.50 ($98)
• Geyser Grey Ludlow Italian Wool Suit Separates – $479 ($800)
• Polo shirt in Pima cotton – $58.50 ($98)
• Classic-fit oxford creased trouser – $76.50 ($128)

You might have known that already though. Full original picks are here.

 

Amazon: Totally random Memorial Day Weekend Deals

• Timex Men’s Waterbury Metro Chrono – $194.60 ($229) review here
• ExOfficio Give-N-Go Sport 6” Boxer Brief – $25.88 ($34.50) review here
• 2 in 1 Mens 7″ Swim Trunks – $23.99 ($33.99)
• 63-Inch Long Console Table – $127.99 ($159.99)

Watches! Furniture! Underwear! Yes, it’s random. This is what Amazon does. This is who they are.

 

Grant Stone: Extra 20% off Sale Items w/ MEMORIAL25

• Brass Boot Saddle Tan – $278.40 ($435)
• Garrison Boot Crimson CXL #8 – $278.40 ($435)

Goodyear welted, great leathers, incredible quality. Rarely does their sale section get an extra bit off. Nice to see that’s happening now. Free shipping kicks in at $300, and remember that exchanges are free within 15 days, but returns will set you back a $15 pre-paid label. B-grades and whatnot are final sale.

 

Brooks Brothers: Extra 20% off Sale Items

• Explorer Collection Slim Fit Wool Windowpane Suit Jacket – $239.99 ($698)
  • Stand alone sportcoat potential here, as it has patch pockets on the lower half.
• Explorer Collection Slim Fit Wool Windowpane Suit Trousers – $95.99 ($298)
• 1818 Collection Slim Fit Windowpane Wool Suit – $639.99 $1398
• Merino Aran Cable Cardigan – $215.99 ($548)
• Suede Stripe D-Ring Belt – $55.99 ($118)
• Supima Cotton Mariner Stripe Johnny Collar Sweater – $79.99 ($198)

Sale’s on sale over at Brooks Brothers. No code needed. Discount should happen once you put an item in your cart.

 

Brooks Brothers Part II: 40% off Four Shirts or more

The combo pick:

• White Stretch Supima Cotton Non-Iron Twill Ainsley Collar Dress Shirt ($128)
• Blue Stretch Supima Cotton Non-Iron Twill Ainsley Collar Dress Shirt ($128)
• Light Blue Gingham Stretch Supima Cotton Non-Iron Pinpoint Oxford Ainsley Collar Dress Shirt ($128)
• Navy Gingham Stretch Supima Cotton Non-Iron Pinpoint Oxford Ainsley Collar Dress Shirt ($128)

= $307.20 total / $76.80 per shirt (reg price $512 for all four)

Separate deal from the extra 20% off sale items promo. These aren’t clearance shirts, but instead these are their regular wheelhouse flagship stock. Four shirts is a lot to buy at once, but 40% off is pretty good for Brooks Brothers. Not bad if you like to spend a little on dress shirts, but don’t want to get into the triple-digits per shirt arena. Ships free as well, as Brooks Brothers free shipping doesn’t kick in until $200, yet this’ll trip that threshold.

 

REI: Anniversary Sale (their biggest of the year)

• Made in USA Danner Bull Run Moc Toe Boots – $194.89 ($259.95)
• Danner N45 Mid GTX Boots – $187.39 ($249.95)

• Men’s Combination Cedar Shoe Trees (2 Pairs) – $28.95 ($57.90)
• Men’s Full Cedar Shoe Trees (2 Pairs) – $28.95 ($57.90)

Attention shoe hounds. Woodlore’s made in the USA cedar shoe trees are buy one get one free. And for the real fancy-cats, for an extra five bucks per pair you can get a monogrammed plate added. BUT… know that free shipping doesn’t kick in until $100+, and standard shipping is $14.95. Ouch.

 

Also worth a mention:

• Lands’ End: 50% off + addit. 10% off w/ BLUEBERRY (exp 5/20)
