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.

Allen Edmonds: Fifth Avenue Oxfords – $199 ($425 – $450)

• Fifth Avenue Leather Sole Oxfords – $199 ($425)
• Fifth Avenue Dainite Sole Oxfords – $199 ($450)

AE has launched an early Black Friday promo, and Fifths for under $200 are a steal-alert-worthy deal. Either the classic leather sole, or the ready-for-weather studded rubber sole. Both are $199. And it’s worth noting that these aren’t seconds quality. They’re firsts. So they should ship and return for free. Handcrafted in Wisconsin. Goodyear welted. Recraftable. The works.

Banana Republic FACTORY: 68% – 76% off most

• Lightweight Quilted Jacket – $51.20 ($160)
• Slim Traveler Cords – $32 ($100)
• Heavyweight Flannel Shirt – $24 ($80)
• Moleskin Tapered Cargo Pants – $27.60 ($115)
• Corduroy Quilted Jacket – $54.40 ($170)
• Slim or Athletic Fit Travel Pants – $30.40 ($95)

Full original picks are here if you’d like them. Scheduled to end today, Thursday 11/21… but if it’s a true Black Friday preview that means it should be coming around again soon (like next week).

Nordstrom: Early Black Friday Deals

• Blake McKay Dixon Chukka Boots – $119.90 ($175)
• Anthony Veer Cap-Toe Oxfords – $139.99 ($199.95)
• Nordstrom Mercer Leather Belt – $33.17 ($49.95)
• Nordstrom Marco Burnished Leather Belt – $53.27 ($79.50)
• Tumi V4 Collection International Expandable Spinner Carry-On – $450 ($750)
• Made in Italy Jack Victor Wool Raincoat – $499.90 ($998)

This is mainline Nordstrom  (not Nordy Rack) so, say it with me, everything ships and returns for free. And these deals have been coming and going pretty quick. One minute something is on significant sale, the next it’s back to full price. This one’s a real moving target.

Timex: 30% off select

• Q GMT 38mm – $160.30 ($229) review here
• Marlin Chronograph 40mm – $125.30 ($179)
• Waterbury Dive Automatic 40mm – $195.30 ($279) 
• Marlin Automatic 40mm – $181.30 ($259)

UPDATE: Looks like this one has been turned off for the time being. Thanks to Clint on the ‘gram for the heads up that it’s no longer working.

No code needed. At post time this sale is a bit tough to find on their site as it’s supposed to be a repeat customer/”VIP” exclusive. But it seems to be open to everyone as long as you can navigate to that URL.

Madewell: 30% off w/ MADEBETTER

The pick: The Roebling Two-Button Blazer in Italian Wool-Blend Fabric – $229.60 ($328) 

Exclusions apply of course, but those Italian fabric blazers are included. They also claim the body length is 31″?? That should indicate they’re NOT chopped, which is good for those of us with long torsos and those who are on the average to taller side (or just prefer a more classically styled sportcoat). No personal experience with these though.

BONUS  Todd Snyder: 30% off w/ EARLY30

• Donegal Wool Blend Crewneck – $138.60 ($198)
• Red Wing 6-inch Classic Moc Boots – $210 ($300)
• Nike Cortez Gum sole in Black/Brown Sesame – $63 ($90)
• Hestra Deerskin + Wool Tricot Gloves – $87.50 ($125)

Works on select 3rd party too. Red Wing is up for the 30% off. That’s a surprise. Alden is excluded. That is not a surprise.

BONUS II  Grant Stone: 20% off orders of $400+ (works on sale stuff too)

The combo pick(s) (to trip the $400 balance):

• Diesel Boot Loden Suede $298 ($360) +
• Crimson Chromexcel Leather Belt ($110) =
  • $326.40 total (normally $408 for both with the sale on the boots, $470 at full price)

Wait what? It works on sale stuff too? I mean, “loden” isn’t the most common color, but it seems versatile enough from here. And that belt then trips the $400 balance. Lots of potential combos to make if Grant Stone is your thing.

Also worth a mention:

• UNIQLO: Their Wool Cashmere Chesterfield Coats are $40 off
• J. Crew Factory: 50% off everything + additional 20% off $100 or 25% off $125 w/ SOMERRY
• Nike: 25% off select w/ ACCESS
• Brooks Brothers: 30% off most, no code needed
• REI: 25% off Smartwool during their annual Winter Sale
• Huckberry: Their annual gift guides are live
• Lorier: They’ve restocked their Hydra GMT and Neptune No Date
