JCF Extra 30% off $150, Select Rhone Commuters, & more – The Thurs. Sales Handful

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.

 

J. Crew FACTORY: extra 20% off $125 or extra 30% off $150 w/ NEWSEASON

• Knit Slim Fit Blazer in 97% Cotton / 3% Elastane – $166.95 ($238.50)
• Corduroy Harrington jacket – $124.95 ($178.50)
• Wool-blend houndstooth blazer – $208.95 ($298.50)
• Classic-fit Thompson university blazer – $157.50 ($225) (Review here)

Haven’t seen this in awhile. Usually they’ll cap the additional discount at 25% off when running an “extra” tiered event. So an additional 30% off is unusually nice, and the “out the door prices” seem to reflect that (their wool blend navy blazer hasn’t dropped into the $150s for quite awhile.) Yes you can buy multiple items to trip the threshold. No need to do it with one item priced over $150. Code NEWSEASON runs through next Tuesday the 29th.

 

Brooks Brothers: Summer Shoes Clearance

• Suede Boat Shoes – $99.99 ($298)
• Leather Driving Moccasins – $139.99 ($229)
• Tumbled Leather Boat Shoes* – $199.99 ($449)
  • *Looks like these particular boat shoes have crepe soles? The first ones don’t. But these do. Which if so, is a bit counter productive, being that crepe can hydroplane on wet (or icy) surfaces.

Brooks brothers just moved a bunch of their summer shoes (boat shoes, drivers, etc.) into their clearance section. Do be aware that free shipping at Brooks Brothers usually doesn’t kick in until $200. And shipping is steep these days.

 

Macy’s: 15% off select watches w/ BEST

• Seiko Automatic 5 Sports Dive Style – $267.75 ($350) 23.5% off review here
• Timex 39mm Panda Chrono – $236.69 ($309) 23.5% off
  • Black Dial/Red striped strap version is here. Same price.
• Tissot 39mm Chemin des Tourelles Powermatic 80 – $646 ($760) 15% off

Not the greatest percentage off they’ve ever run on select watches. In the past they’ve done 20% and will occasionally hit 25% off. But the code BEST does stack on some watches that are already on sale. So that helps. And watch prices seem to have jumped again in the last couple of months and/or retailers are cutting back on discounts again.

 

Rhone: 40% off black and navy Commuter Shirts – $82.80 ($138)

In case you wanna do “The Clooney.” Now that we’re heading deeper into the calendar, darker shirts like this could see a lot more use. And it’s hard to beat the Rhone Commuter shirt’s comfort level. Mega stretch, breathes and wicks, and the hidden button down collar is really nice. The lighter options like white and light blue can look a little “performance OCBD” when worn with a suit (translation: too casual)… but the darker colors like navy and black look pretty great when dressed up… minus a tie. The collars just don’t have enough structure for a necktie.

 

Amazon: Early Big Prime Deal Days Deals

• Inflatable T. Rex Costume – $26.99 ($29.99)

Did somebody say T. Rex?

…GET IT ON.

 

BONUS Banana Republic: 40% off most full-price (ends Sunday)

• Plaid Cotton Canvas Barn Coat with Corduroy Collar  – $168* ($348)
  • *On special and getting an extra 40% off.
• Luxe Traveler Jeans in Slim, Athletic, or Straight Fit – $78 ($130)
• Gray or Blue Vitale Barberis Canonico Wool Suit Jackets – $270 ($450)
• Gray or Blue Vitale Barberis Canonico Wool Suit Trousers – $138 ($230)
  • $408 for the whole suit. Normally $680.

Ends Sunday. Lots of mentions of this sale lately, but that’s because they only do it a few times a year. Only happens in the spring, now here in the fall, and then a few around the holidays. Next crack at a 40% off deal at BR will probably be November.

 

Also worth a mention:

• J. Crew: They’re running a select “early fall styles from $29.95” event. But they’re now mixing in final sale clearance stuff with their regular price/not final sale promo goods. It’s super confusing.
