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.

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.

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 . BUT…
- Factory 2nds returns will set you back . So be careful with anything tagged as such.
- They’re still mixing Factory 2nds into the main site’s sale section, which makes things all the more confusing.

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.

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 . That’s where costs get cut. That said, they’ve got some linen-blend items ready for summer.
- ($149)
- Mini-in-person review/size note: These run half a size small. And even then they can run a little narrow for those of us with wide or borderline wide feet. That said, if they fit you well out of the box, then these are terrific and well worth the investment.

Rothy’s makes well cushioned, breathable sneakers, 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.
The Summer-is-coming Combo Pick:
= $203 total (normally $290)
Their regular , 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 , 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 “” 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.

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.

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)
Separate deal from . 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.
