While Columbo Day Weekend sales aren’t quite on the same level as Black Friday, Labor Day, and other long weekend retail pushes, they’re still worth keeping an eye on. And we’ll be doing just that, updating as further events warrant and the weekend unfolds.
Baseline works out to 60% off MSRP as that additional 20% gets taken off the half off price (100x.5x.8=40). If you find a “savings spotlight” piece (like their merino crewneck sweaters) those are 60% off, and the extra 20% drops those items to a total of 68% off. That’s good for Banana Republic’s step-down/diffusion line, BR Factory. And while a recent, ridiculous experience with their once excellent Traveler Jeans was annoying and disappointing, getting in person with some other stuff from this fall line has been encouraging. Their merino sweaters are still really good for the price. (Don’t machine wash them. stick to dry cleaning.) And their outerwear still shows promise. You just gotta pick your battles and keep expectations in line.
No they’re not on sale, but VAER does very little discounting of any kind. And these are their entry level divers, which have a real tendency to sell out since they’re moderately priced. Therefor the restocks are worth the mention.
VAER has been a real breath of fresh air these last few years. They started small and have since grown into a real power… which hasn’t gotten too big. They’re still sticking to their values. And their DS2 Divers are a great way to give them a chance without investing intense levels of cash. 39mm or 42mm sizes. Japanese quartz movements. Sapphire crystals.
Total is 32.5% off full price if you log in before you complete the transaction. Deal(s) also stack on their clearance section for a “triple dip.” Prices above reflect both the 25% off + additional 10% off members discount. Not bad for Brooks Brothers if you’re eyeing up any of their new F/W arrivals and/or something in their clearance section. Exclusions apply of course. Runs through Wednesday (10/14).
Shown Above:
Yes the extra 10% off for members is stacking on the 3 shirts deal. Works out to $76.33 per shirt for non members, and $68.70 per shirt for members. Not bad if you’re a fan of Brooks Brothers shirts.
Q: What’s the difference between their regular non-iron dress shirts and the explorer collection?
A: Full review can be found here, but here’s the short version:
See our top-10 list here. AE runs two big sales every year. First is their Anniversary Sale in the spring, and this second one is their Rediscover America sale. It’s during these big events that their “icons” shoes actually go on significant sale. It’s not every day one can save serious money on a pair of Parks or Strands.
Scheduled to expire Thursday night. So perhaps they have something else in the works for the weekend?
Bonobos may not have invented the deeply colored 5-pocket (wait, did they?) but they sure as heckfire popularized it. Still going strong after all these years. Also included in their deal are their (non-high-stretch) Gramercy jean. Some stretch in those, but not quite like the premium 4-way stretch jeans. Those are excluded. Rats! At least the travel jeans/gramercy jeans ship and return for free.
Full original picks can be found here. Gotta be logged in to get the 30% off. We’ll keep an eye out to see if they include more items in this one as the weekend rolls on.
Estimated delivery is end of December. So, not in time for Christmas. But hopefully (key word: hopefully) in time for the new year. Miyota 9039 automatic movement, sapphire crystal, and very, very nice heritage diver looks. Hard not to really like that triangle pointer hour hand + big crown + discreet use of gilt combo.
Limited in terms of what styles are actually getting decent discounts, but it’s nice to see the Continental 80 once again.
Obviously not as good as Friends and Family (40% off), and has more exclusions than F&F did (shoes, bags, cashmere, etc.), but still a nice deal if you GOT something during F&F and want another color.
Careful now. Seems like there’s more final sale (no returns/exchanges) stuff than ever in the Huckberry sale section. It’s a mix, but the uptick in items with the FINAL sale tag is unignorable.
Not a massive selection, and it’s mostly basics, but 60% off or more at JCF is usually good.
Flagship stretch chinos are included. So are broken in tees. Some cashmere as well.
Gift cards. Grooming goods. Favorite watches. Tees, sneakers, & more. Ends Wednesday.
Thirty(?!) bucks for Invicta's already cheap, entry level, automatic diver.
Stacks on clearance too. 4 style scenarios mined from the BB F&F Sale.
Huckberry's sale section has gotten a refresh.
A tip of the cap to a real home run of a watch.
