Somebody get to pick up his and get his marketing department to rename this sale. “Amazon Prime Big Deal Days” is clunky. It feels like the “big” is gumming up the flow. would work. Because that’s pretty much what it is.
(or a free trial) to take advantage of the deals. Currently an annual subscription for Amazon Prime will run you $139 annually or $7.49 a month for students. And while Amazon certainly isn’t the pinnacle of style, they carry lots of inexpensive basics, plenty of watches, and other stuff which those with a good sense of style may take a shine to.
Ready? Let’s get to the picks. It gets random. That’s Amazon for you.
($50)
Scroll down and you’ll see these. Something to keep in the back pocket (or in this case, email inbox) for later. If you’re a frequent shopper at Banana Republic or Old Navy, it’s not a bad idea to grab one, as you can use it later on with stacked codes, sales, etc. This is a flash deal, so when they’re gone they’re gone. And they will go fast.
($35ish)
Simple, cheap, and versatile. The model that basically re-launched Timex as a more fashionable brand some 15 years ago. 38mm dial diameter with a 20mm strap width. Know that the Weekender models are infamous for making a louder than average “TICK” sound with each snap of their seconds hand. It drives some people absolutely bonkers. But if you’re good with that, then it’s a cheap (very cheap) winner. The Timex Weekender is light, fun, and does its one job well: It tells the time.
($35 – $4oish)
Twentyish bucks and shipped fast to your door. Nice. 98% cotton / 2% lycra. PAGING . That man is gonna have a wild next month. Or few months. (Please let it not be months.)
($24)
FIFTEEN BUCKS. Jeans season. It’s here.
w/ coupon box checked ($599)
Shipped via Prime. Yes really. Gotta tap/check the little “Apply $75 coupon” box and then add to your cart. Also, for some there could be an additional “10% off brand promotion” code that’ll auto apply with a tap. But that may not be the case for everyone. Bottom line: These chairs are surprisingly nice. They aren’t enormous beasts like the ol’ Stone & Beam Chesterfields, but that’s a good thing for those who live in smaller spaces. Yet they should be a comfortable fit for most adults. (My 5’10″/185 feels quite comfortable in ours.) Good looking and feeling aniline leather, wood frame, and no assembly required.
Note: . This chair is not for outdoor use. It’s a true, indoor, living room/office/whatever accent lounge chair. We just took the photo outside because the lighting was better, and seeing a lounge chair outdoors was sufficiently ridiculous that it seemed on brand for us.

Not all of their models. But a few. Plenty fair price, polarized lenses, really good feeling materials and build quality for the price. WMP sunglasses have quickly become a favorite around these parts.
($60ish)
Quite an impressive handheld steamer. Some handheld steamers just flat out don’t do the job well. They spit water or hard water deposits, they’re awkward to hold, and/or the water reservoir runs out quickly. That’s not the case on any level with this super well made, easy to wield, plenty of water in the tank steamer. The dry cleaner can be terrible on suits, sportcoats, and blazers. The less trips there the better. So unless it’s soiled or it’s starting to stink, release the wrinkles with this and be on your way.
($180ish)
Classic, heritage good looks in a true heritage size. From a trusted brand, with a trusted powered-by-light movement, at a price that’s positively… 2016-ish. 18mm band width should make for if you so choose.
($180ish)
Featured in our big and oft-mentioned . It’s nice. It looks sleek. It does the job and doesn’t feel like a bargain bin cheap bag from TJ Maxx or wherever.
($200ish)
For those that like the old-school smart look of a rectangular watch, but won’t be shelling out for an old-school heritage luxury name. Looks really good dressed wayyyy up, and also does the “modern Rat Pack” thing extraordinarily well (.)
($37.80)
Lyre’s is probably the best non alcoholic spirit on the market in regards to tasting like the “real” thing. It’s flavorful. A little goes a long way. Just like it’s boozy big brother “Campi” from Italy.
($35)
Speaking of drinks… Okay, admittedly a random pick for a “style” site, but this is personal. You’ll never go back to cheaper alternatives. Built like a tank but not overly weighty. Magslider lid “action” has good glide and secures, well, securely. Dishwasher safe. And holy crud do these keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold for an unusually long period of time. Great for everything from tea to beer.
($29)
Not quite as nice as the WMP sunglasses, but still great for the price. Nicely weighted acetate frames, polarized lenses, no silly/obnoxious visible branding, and at 53mm they should fit most guys just fine.
($25.99)
Annnnnnd the slightly more retro-looking, keyhole bridge version.
($24.99)
Pretty well reviewed. Raglan style sleeves should offer a decent range of movement. Less obvious branding compared to their usual left-chest logo emblazoned shirts.
($349)
Dogs. Co-workers. Kids. The world is noisy. Not a “style” pick per say, but absolutely one for those of us stuck on a keyboard all day in all sorts of surroundings.
(normally $2000+)
A splurge. No idea if this style is comfortable, but it looks amazing. Clearly it’s a monster splurge, but you’ll pay a heck of a lot more at bigger brand-name stores for something that looks like this. Usually above $2k, it even ships for free as it’s Amazon fulfilled. They’ll scheduled a time for delivery, and then unboxing and what little assembly is required will be up to you.
($469)
A Dappered Space pick. An absolute must if you have pets or kids or just like staying on top of keeping your place clean by doing a little vacuuming/freshening up every day. Floor attachment easily pops off to become what amounts to a dust-buster on steroids with upholstery attachments, small space attachments, and brush attachments. We use ours daily. Multiple times a day. We have beat the snot out of it and it’s been doing the job for years and years.
is set to run through tomorrow, Wednesday 10/9/24.
