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.

As good as it gets for BR outside of their rare Friends & Family / Holiday season 40% off deals. And if past is prologue, then the next one of those “40%-offs” won’t roll around until autumn. There’s also some stuff on special (marked down but not on clearance yet) which is stacking with the 30% off.
Ends Tuesday 5/26.
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…
Full details and a review of the Factory 2nds buying experience can be found in this post here.
Ends Tuesday 5/26.
Just got bumped up on Sunday to an additional 50% off their final sale clearance section. Haven’t seen them go that deep on their final sale stuff in awhile.
Ends Tuesday 5/26.
And the 40% off select full price deal they’re running. But you might have known that already though. Full original picks are here.
Ends Thursday 5/28
Hard pivot from BR Factory’s more affordable wares to the more expensive stuff over at Filson. USA Made Rugged Twill Briefcases now cost $499 MSRP. So the trick is to throw something cheap in your cart, and save even more than if you hadn’t.
Ends Tuesday 5/26.
Sometimes it doesn’t have to be that complicated. Get your fit right, and even something as basic as a t-shirt and chinos combo can look great. Select styles and select colors are getting the 50% off, but it’s most of the normal/foundation colors. Works out to 57.5% off when you stack that SUMMER code.
Ends Wednesday 5/27
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.
Ends Wednesday 5/27
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.
Made in Portugal or Brazil, good materials, and cool but timeless styles. Plus the all too rare mid-level price point (not cheap plasticky shoes, not high end luxury) is all too welcome.
Ends Tuesday 5/26.
Usual exclusions apply: Icon Status styles of The Original Chino, The Chino 2.0, Weekday Warrior Dress Pants, Jetsetter Wool Blazer, and Jetsetter Wool Dress Pants, and a few other bits and bobs. But there’s plenty of bestsellers included, such as their unconstructed blazers, short sleeve shirts, swim trunks, etc.
Ends Wednesday 5/27, 9pm PT
Works on select full price and sale stuff. Includes clothes and other gear, so it’s not just shoes. For AF1 fans, summer can get a little too hot under the collar of those classic basketball sneakers. The flyknit version may help alleviate some of that sneaker stuffiness.
Ongoing
This is one of Nordstrom’s three big sale events of the year. There’s another half-yearly clearance after the holidays, and then their flagship event is the Anniversary Sale in mid summer (which sees just-in autumn goods go on sale as a season-preview.) So yes, the half-yearly sales are mostly clearance events, but as it’s Nordstrom mainline, everything still ships/returns for free.
Ongoing
And some picks from their shoes/accessories departments.
Ends Tuesday 5/26.
Rothy’s makes well cushioned, breathable sneakers and loafers, with flexible recycled knit uppers spun from recycled plastic bottles. They’re even machine washable(!) so wearing them without socks is no worry at all. Outbound shipping is free. No fee for mail-in exchanges, or for returns made at a Happy Returns location or a Rothy’s retail store. Otherwise, it’s a $7.99 fee for mail-in refunds.
Ends Wednesday 5/27
Sale’s on sale over at Brooks Brothers. No code needed. Discount should happen once you put an item in your cart.
The combo pick:
= $307.20 total / $76.80 per shirt (reg price $512 for all four)
Ends Wednesday 5/27
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.
USA made boots and shoes. Super high quality leathers. Hard not to ogle their Lakeshore cap toe boots. But it’s Camp Moc season for sure.
Ends Tuesday 5/26.
From J. Crew’s step-down/diffusion brand. Free shipping kicks in at $100. Friday update: They’ve just added an additional 20% off carts of $125 or more with the code PARTY. Yes you can buy multiple cheaper items to trip that additional 20% off $125+ discount. Doesn’t have to be done in one fell swoop with a blazer or something else more expensive.
The Summer-is-coming Combo Pick:
= $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.
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.
Watches! Furniture! Underwear! Yes, it’s random. This is what Amazon does. This is who they are.
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.
There’s some good models included. Sometimes these “select” flash sales at Timex can feel like mostly… flotsam. Not so this time. Code Take25 is set to expire Monday night/3am ET on 5/26.
Highlight has to be their Goodfellow 98% Cotton, 2% Spandex chino shorts. 9″ inseam. They are what you think they are, and they’re under twenty bucks.
Everyone can shop their biggest sale of the year, but REI Co-op Members get to also save 20% on one full-price item and 20% on one REI Outlet item w/ ANNIV26 at checkout. Exclusions apply. Sale runs through 5/25.
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.
Full picks are here if interested. Another “but you may have known that already” re-mention.
NOTE: This post will be updated through the long weekend.
Brooks Brothers Father's Day, new items added to Spier's Clearance, etc.
Much smaller selection than usual, but a significantly better discount.
"You are all... weirdos." - A great American.
Plus safe, silicone wedding bands which really do look like metal.
Made in Vermont from wicking, temperature regulating merino wool blends. Tons of options. They're the…
15% off at Orient as well. Includes their 75th anniversary Bambino with the extra strap.
