Presidents’ Day Weekend Sales For Men: adidas Gift Cards, Brooks Brothers Extra 25% off, & More

NOTE: Did you know President Chester A. Arthur owned 80 pairs of trousers? Perhaps not. Were you aware this weekend is a long weekend (for some) as Monday is Presidents’ Day? You do now. Presidents’ Day Weekend is traditionally one of the quieter federal-holiday long weekends on the calendar, but it’s also the first big(ish) sales weekend of the year, as it’s part end-of-season clearance, part first shot at some newer arrivals. We’ll update this post as more sales roll in. Obligatory Historical Note (before someone sends an email): Ben Franklin? (shown above right)… NOT a president!

J. Crew’s Pre-Spring (accurate!) “30% off” (or more?) “almost everything” (tons of exclusions) event is on. Standout has to be their new, Made in Spain line of Essex shoes, now down to ~$250. Full review of the cap toe oxfords can be found here.

Old Navy: 50% off (most) activewear

Slim Fit Tech Hybrid Pants – $27.49 ($33 – $40ish)
Cloud 94 Soft Go-Dry Cool T-Shirts – $9.99 ($19.99)
- Size Medium on 5’10″/180 looks like this
Cloud 94 Soft Go-Dry Cool Polos – $13.49 ($26.99)
- Size Medium on 5’10″/180 looks like this

And yes that includes their cheap lululemon 5-pocket competitors. No gusset on the Old Navy pants, and the fabric feels lighter/cheaper. But that’s why they’re priced the way they are. Only the slims are getting the half off. Straight fits are stuck at 40% off. Size shown above is a 32×32 slim fit on 5’10″/180 in an out of stock khaki color.

Amazon: 15% off Old Navy (also works at GAP/BR) Gift Cards – $42.50 FINAL ($50)

Speaking of Old Navy. Amazon is running random gift card deals again. And Old Navy is one of them. These are physical gift cards that they’ll send you in the mail, so, might take a bit for them to arrive for your stacking-on-other-sales use. Gift cards are non returnable/final sale.

Banana Republic: Extra 20% off sale items

Checkered Alpaca/Wool Sweater Jacket – $151.99 ($260)
Signature Italian Hopsack Suit Jacket – $219.99 ($400)
Signature Italian Hopsack Suit Trouser – $111.99 ($200)
- Total for suit = $331.98 ($600)
Italian Leather Boots – $179.99 ($280)
Nicklas Sneaker 2.0 – $71.99 ($120)

Sale’s on sale at BR. Not an immense amount of new additions to their sale stock, but there’s a few.

Gustin: Stock Sale is on

Made in Canada Classic T-Shirt 3 Pack – $60 FINAL ($69)

Gustin is one of the original (if not thee original) pre-order model. So it’s rare for them to: A. Have stock, and B. Put said stock on sale. No waiting months for them to make the stuff, with this stuff. And common sizes can move real fast. Looks to be a Final Sale event, and be aware that stuff tagged as final sale can’t be returned or exchanged. Also: Didn’t know Gustin is now producing stuff in Canada?

Nordstrom: Up to 50% off End of Season Sale (clothes picks)

Rodd & Gunn Cotton “Softie” Sportcoat – $138.99 ($349)
Nordstrom 100% Cashmere Overcoat – $584.35 ($899)
100% Cashmere V-Neck Sweaters – $66 – $94.50 ($165)
Washable Merino Wool Quarter Zip Sweaters – $66.65 ($99.95)
Nordstrom 100% Merino Duke Plaid Sportcoat – $159.60 ($399)
Nordstrom Trim Fit Grid Dress Shirt – $59.70 ($99.50)

Nordstrom’s sale section is pretty much overflowing right now. And as this is mainline/flagship Nordstrom, just about everything ships/returns for free. Only exceptions to the free ship/returns rule would be any random products which ship direct from a different brand/seller whom doesn’t offer that service. But those are quite rare.

It’s clearance season, so sizes can get scattered, and prices can wobble around depending on which color you’re after depending on the item… but overall, pretty darn great from Uncle Nordy.

Nordstrom: Up to 50% off End of Season Sale (shoe picks)

Johnston & Murphy Cap Toe Oxfords – $149.99 ($199)
Jack Erwin Made in Portugal Chelseas – $224 ($280)
Nordstrom Made in Italy Chukkas – $169.96 ($229.95)

Ditto for the shoes and boots and accessories.

adidas: $50 Gift card for $40

Ends 2/20. Periodically adidas will run a $10 off gift card deal. This is one of those periods! Gift “card” is digital, and should be delivered to your inbox within 2 hours. Which is great if you’re browsing…

adidas: 30% off select w/ SAVE

adi365 Iconic Astro Running Pants – $40 ($70)
Train Essentials Feelready training tees – $9.10 ($25)
SL 72 RTN Shoes – $74 ($120)
Ultraboost 5X – $78.20 ($180)

Should stack with the gift card deal, as as you enter the SAVE code and gift card voucher in different fields during checkout. Prices above reflect both the 30% off and the $50 gift card for $40 deal (where applicable.)

Macy’s: 20% – 25% off select watches

39mm Caravelle by Bulova Sea Hunter – $281.25 ($375)
Seiko 5 Sports SKX – $360 ($450)

Been running for a little bit but still worth another mention as we’re in prime “ooh shiny thing!” gifting season.

lululemon: New additions to their “we made too much” section

Down for it all Hoodie – $159 FINAL ($228)
Waffle-Knit Half Zip – $89 FINAL ($128)
Metal Vent Tech Half Zips – $79 – $89 FINAL ($128)
ABC Warpstreme Classic-Fit 5 Pocket Pants – $89 FINAL ($128) select colors

And there’s some decent newness in there too. Huge fan of their “Down for it All” hooded puffer. It’s the rare puffer that makes you look athletic and sleek, instead of, y’know… puffy. Size shown above is a medium on 5’10″/180. A reminder that their stuff in the “we made too much” section is all final sale. Members can return final sale items in-store for credit only.

Brooks Brothers: Extra 25% off Clearance Items

Navy Italian Hopsack Wool Sportcoat – $299.99 ($698)
Navy Check Italian Wool-Cotton-Silk-Cashmere Sport Coat – $299.99 ($698)
Ultimate Merino Wool Polo Sweaters – $99.99 ($198) select colors
Portuguese Flannel Polo Button Down Collar Shirts – $52.49 ($148) select colors
Ultimate Merino Wool Quarter-Zip Sweaters – $74.99 ($198) select colors

Runs clear through next Wednesday the 18th. Decent but not overly extensive selection at post time. Still worth a look if you like Brooks Brothers but have to wait for when their “sale’s on sale” like many of us do.

Timex: 20% off w/ Love20

39mm Waterbury Heritage Chronograph – $239.20 ($299)
40mm Marlin Moon Phase – $159.20 ($199)
40mm Marlin Jet Quartz Chronograph – $215.20 ($269)

Not the biggest discount as sometimes they’ll go 25% or 30% off. But as it’s also applying to a few models that are already on sale, it’s a nice double dip when applicable.

Nordstrom RACK: Extra 40% off select FINAL SALE Clearance

Allen Edmonds Dain Boots – $80.97 FINAL ($495)

And now for Nordstrom’s off-price outlet chain. An extra 40% off select clearance is a true blowout, but… final means final. No returns or exchanges. Sizes/color selection is scattered at best. Prices are as marked online.
