Via: Nordstrom’s new items and new discounts taken from their sale section
A few bucks over our $75 limit, but since it’s sold at Nordstrom, free shipping and returns. That’s becoming increasingly rare these days. So we’re going to do something different, considering Nordstrom’s generous policy.
Via: Banana Republic Factory 50% – 70% off + additional 20% off at checkout
Size shown: 40R at 5’10″/180.
One way or another76% discount. And at BR Factory, a discount of 60% or more is usually a sign that something is a solid deal. Looks great with black pants, chinos, or jeans in cooler weather. You should do well with light shades/fabrics as it is hot. 53% cotton, 29% polyester, 16% rayon, 2% elastane. It’s open in the back so it can breathe, but the jacket as a whole isn’tfeatherweight. There is a small thing in front where the building is. Don’t get it wrong, it’s not thick flannel or tweed, and it’s not stiff or stiff, but it can be a little warm in the really stifling summer heat. Overall, it’s a great example of what BR Factory excels at.
Via: J. Crew 40% off full selection (exp 4/1)
This has been quietly added to their soon-to-expire 40% deal. J Chinos. Crew are probably not included. And on the rare occasions they go on sale, they sell for like twenty bucks or something. Not nearly forty dollars. But note that it is the 484 slim that goes with itby farthe most versatile colors on sale (the first four colors going from left to right above…) And recently, real slim sunbed brands in all stores to get more windows. I am not saying that J. Crew’s 484 slim fit goes anywhere. It seems that many like a straight or running fit right now.
Via: Netflix
Leave it to Netflix to announce another price increase, just as the movie Peaky Blinders hits their service.
By: UNIQLO’s Limited time offer + sale section
99% sweater, 1% blazer. The Fit seems generous/boxy. So don’t expect something put together that you can throw on over a dress shirt and wear clean chinos and cap toes to a wedding. It’s like something to hang on the back of a chair to use when the office AC is completely jammed, or to be at home to wear a jean t-shirt when what you really want is to change into athleisure clothes but NOT CREATE ALL NIGHT. (…the fight to not fall into the evening race is ringing me. a lot.)
Via: J. Crew Spring Fling 40% off select full price event (exp 4/1)
Classic aviators are not too loose, and instead of the usual wire, they have temple pieces that look like a turtle shell.
With: Nike 20% off select w/ LASSHOT (exp 4/5)
The waffle sole is eye-catching and comfortable, the style is versatile, and this neutral “Light Orewood Brown/Black” color goes with everything. At the very least, they’re in your friendly neighborhood of an affordable men’s style blog (hello!), noticeably more comfortable than their hard-hitting “Killshot 2” line of court sneakers (also 20% off with code LASSHOT).
With: GAP 50% off + additional 10% off with/YOUR (expires 4/1)
Part of GAP’s half-off event and get an extra 10% off with the code YOURS. Because sometimes (often?) youdon’t do itI want a super-trendy heavyweight, or spend tons of money on an expensive wool t-shirt. Instead you might look to buy, wear, and enjoy a smooth jersey knit, 100% cotton t-shirt.
Via: Mention 25% off select Fine Clothing
Size shown: Average 5’10″/185
Less than $30 on sale? He is beautiful, very beautiful. It’s basic, but well done. The fabric is a blend: 60% Cotton, 36% Recycled Polyester, 4% Spandex. There is some stretch in the fabric, but the use of the word “performance” seems like an exaggeration here. Yet many “technical” button-down shirts look unfortunately comfortable, while this Goodfellow dress shirt looks and wears like a classic, classy, sharp shirt. Comes with a detachable collar. Sold in ballpark “alpha” sizing (S/M/L/etc.) Not the more accurate neck and sleeve measurements you’ll find on other shirts. But that is not unexpected. This is Target, not another old-school tailor on Savile Row.
Reminder: Knuckleheads are active today. Watch out for social media posts and promo emails about invisible pants, sundial wristwatches, and other nonsense. Bah humbug.
