No code needed. Quite good from BR, who has in the last few years really ratcheted back their use of sales and codes and promos. So outside of the spring and fall 40% off friends and family sales, 30% off is as good as it gets. Exclusions apply of course (shoes, leather stuff, etc.) Want some ideas on how to put some of these ideas together? .

This is in addition to . They’ve bumped this final sale items discount up to an additional 60% off. No returns or exchanges on final sale stuff. But it does appear a few new items got dropped in there. Expect stock to move quick though.
($69.50) 1 day only
One day only. The 9″ inseams were stuck at full price the other day… yet now they’re half off. But just for today. Allegedly. Set to end today, Thursday 5/23/24. The J. Crew moving target continues to like an over-caffeinated chicken cutlet hotboxing and mowing down “special” brownies.

Not bad. Sale section is a bit picked over here at the end of May, but there’s still some winners in there all the same. The camp mocs seem to have real potential, especially as we head into prime camp moc season.

Prices are now as marked, online. Discounts have already been taken. No need to apply a code at checkout. It’s an extra 25% off regular sale items at the main Allen Edmonds site…. and it’s also an additional 25% off Factory 2nds. 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.

Remember that Nordstrom’s Half Yearly sales are much different than their annual Anniversary Sale (coming up in July). The Half-Yearly sales are true clearances. So stock/size selection/colors that are actually on sale (translation: almost always the weird colors) can vary greatly. It’s a heck of a haystack. A few needles… but… key word: few. At least everything ships and returns for free.
The Pick: ($449)
Lots of variety in the Bespoke Post shop. That’s one way to put it. But one specific call out would be WP Standard’s Pan Am Duffel. Made from their excellent, pliable yet thick full grain leather. Solid brass hardware. Big fan of that brand. On sale at Bespoke post in Chocolate (shown), Tan, or Desert Black.
The combo pick:
= $249 total (reg price $492 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 $62.25 per shirt (again, you have to buy four) 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.

NOTE: At post time, the extra 10% off code GET10 is working on both the shorts and tees deal. Pretty, pretty good. And the secret’s out on those tees. They’re great. Buried in their athletic-wear section, those tees look, feel, and act more like an upgraded/super smooth/”dressy” t-shirt (think the luxe touch from BR). Super smooth poly/modal blend that breathes without looking shiny or “techy”. Raglan style sleeves highlight your shoulders as well as help out with ease of movement. And the collar holds up remarkably well. Not slouchy or thin or weird. For those that prefer wider necks, you’ll have to look elsewhere. Yes there’s a small logo on the left sleeve. But it’s subtle, and these tees are so comfortable that you might quickly forget about it. Size shown above is a medium on 5’10″/185.

Nobody does random quite like Amazon during a big retail push. Probably best to check your order history/”buy again” section and see if anything you get with some regularity from Uncle Jeff’s Internet Emporium is on sale.
The Pick: ($400)
Prices are as marked but they’re also saying “with code SPF30.” So… it may automatically apply at checkout. Lotttts of exclusions: “Premium 4-Way Stretch Jeans, Stretch Lightweight Jeans, Hudson Sweater Polos, Hudson Cabana Sweater Polos, Everyday Linen Popovers, Suede Bomber Jacket, all swim trunks, and Icon Status styles of The Original Chino, The Chino 2.0, Stretch Weekday Warrior Dress Pants, and Jetsetter Stretch Wool Suits and Suit Separates.”

Ledbury did what Rhone couldn’t do. They made a true dress shirt out of a breathable, wicking, smooth performance fabric, and most importantly: The collar feels and acts like a true dress shirt collar. Great with a tie. Looks exceptionally sharp without too, thanks to their structure and the slightly lowered 2nd button. Bought one for myself when they debuted, and they’re legit. The one drawback is they do need a bit of ironing. Care instructions are machine wash gentle cycle or hand wash, hang to dry. , and especially so with these, as synthetics can scorch if your iron is too hot and you’re not moving quick. So be careful.
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.

Reminder: this is not mainline J. Crew. This is their step-down/cheaper version. So take those MSRP/”valued at” full price numbers with a big grain of salt. That said, 50% off almost zero exclusions is good. Especially if, say, you just want a pair of chinos and you know that the mainline J. Crew stretch chinos never go on sale. .

More WP Standard goods, but going direct to the brand here (as they understandably have much more stock than Bespoke Post). Includes the excellent Woodward briefcases, available . .

USA made boots and shoes. Super high quality leathers. Hard not to ogle their Lakeshore cap toe boots. But it’s Camp Moc season for sure.

It’s a pretty random assortment and as it’s Todd Synder, things can get spendy even in their sale section. But Mr. Snyder absolutely has his fans. Watch out for final sale stuff. Anything tagged as final sale can’t be returned or exchanged.

First quality goods, pretty solid discounts, and an oddly wide variety of gear. No returns or exchanges on anything tagged as final sale. And there’s a lot of final sale stuff in there.

- ($90) no code needed on these. Navy swoosh, white swoosh, green swoosh and the black with white swoosh are all getting the 25% off.
Feels like a seasonal clearance. Pretty scattershot in that extra 25% off w/ SUMMER code section. Also worth noting select Killshots are 25% off. No code needed. Discount should show up in your bag. No login needed to save on the Killshots. Which is nice.

Includes some of their flagship “core” line suits. For those unfamiliar, the Core Line is an upgrade over their base level (and mighty fine all the same) . Red Label only comes in one fit. Core line comes in two fits (slim or contemporary), nicer wool for the fabrics, and better “trim” stuff like the lining, buttons, etc.

Here’s how this works, as it’s sorta two sales in one:
- Non members can shop the sale without buying a membership. Those items are prices-as-marked online. Picks above are limited to items everyone can shop. You’ll see why in a second.
- Members (new or old) can take w/ the code ANNIV24. Yes . And unlike other brands/sites with “members” sales, it’s not just a simple email sign up. REI is a co-op. So you have to pay for a membership. .

Swamp-bum season is nigh. Switch to performance fabric underwear, as cotton holds onto moisture, chafes, and is a general and literal pain in the backside during sweaty season. UNIQLO’s AIRism performance fabric boxer briefs are breathable, wick moisture away from the skin, and unlike other brands… they’re super cheap. Especially now that they’re on sale. Sale ends Thursday 5/23.

For those looking for a navy blue blazer under $300 (which is hard to find these days), the is a good bet. Two fits, 100% wool exterior, light hopsack like texture. It won’t have the buttery soft “squish” that comes with a lightweight flannel like the J. Crew Legacy, but when it comes to the warmer months, a lot of us prefer something cooler and crisper feeling. And remember that returns with Charles Tyrwhitt , as the (expensive) outbound shipping is non-refundable, and returns will set you back a $9.95 pre-paid label.

Feels like 99% of what Mr. Porter carries is either absurdly expensive or absurd looking. They do have a handful of brands that have at least a few normal things. And often those things get included in their sale events. Examples of such “things” are above.

Not every home goods retailer tries to hawk their wares at discounted prices on this long holiday weekend, but the vast majority do, and if you’re looking for something new to spruce up your space, now’s the time. There are some deep discounts happening out there (and some par for the course markdowns). Picks above are a reflection of the wide variety of promos you’ll encounter this weekend. If you find yourself wishing you were invited over to your neighbors backyard on a summer morning because the smell of the bacon and eggs they’re cooking on their outdoor is wafting over the fence, now’s not a bad time to get one of your own. There’s also lots of deals on outdoor seating and dining sets, plus some nice discounts on indoor products too.
Also worth a mention:

- : Extra 30% off select w/ SUMMER
