Men’s Sales Handful](r/Dappered/~3/u7cutm0Ci-Q/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email) Posted: 25 Jan 2018 03:00 AM PST Sales that deserve some attention heading into the weekend or a bit earlier. Might not be some massive once a year event, but still worth a look. Those are what make up these handfuls. Five of the better sales, one for each finger, are below, plus bonus sales if need be. Included are a few picks worth pointing out. [J. Crew Factory: Extra 50% off Clearance w/ GOTTASHOP]( [J. Crew Factory]( - [Lambswool Cable Crewneck Sweater – $22.49]( ($44.99) - [Merino Wool Cardigan Sweater – $27.49]( ($54.99) - [Moleskin Blazer – $64.99]( ($129.99) - [Greyson Jacket – $54.99]( ($109.99) The J. Crew Factory clearance section can be less than impressive sometimes. But now? It’s actually kinda solid. Who knows how much stock they have left, but their merino wool sweaters (v necks, cardigans, and crews) are quite nice. Especially for 50% off the on-sale price. [Massdrop: Scottish Made 100% Cashmere Scarves – $49.99 FINAL](//massdrop.7eer.net/c/94385/252901/4148?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.massdrop.com%2Fbuy%2Froyal-speyside-cashmere-scarves%3F) [Massdrop Scottish Scarves](//massdrop.7eer.net/c/94385/252901/4148?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.massdrop.com%2Fbuy%2Froyal-speyside-cashmere-scarves%3F) It’s Massdrop, so it’s final sale, but forty bucks for a 100% cashmere scarf that was made in Scotland? Not bad. And you’ve got choices. 21 scarves in 3 different sizes. Only drawback, other than final sale, is that they won’t ship until the end of February. So, not much time left to use em’ after that. [Bonobos: FINAL SALE: Extra 40% off w/ SALEONSALE]( [Bonobos]( - [5-Pocket Bedford Pants – $46.80]( FINAL ($138) - [Merino Wool Henleys – $28.80]( FINAL ($118) - [Foundation Italian Wool Blazer – $180]( FINAL ($400) - [The Stretch Italian Wool Topcoat – $250.80]( FINAL ($598) - [Unconstructed Italian Wool Blazer in Brown – $165]( FINAL ($400) - [Unconstructed Italian Wool Blazer in Green – $165]( FINAL ($400) - [The Banff Quilted Jacket – $118.80]( FINAL ($278) - [Jetsetter Stretch Wool Blazer – $195]( FINAL ($450) Further reductions and [no more tiers](. Meanwhile, around thirty bucks is an amazing deal on those merino wool henleys. Sure, they require a bit more care in terms of washing, but they’re light years ahead of crappy cotton henleys. [DSW: $10 off $49, $20 off $99, $60 off $199 w/ KEEPSAVNG]( [DSW]( - [Aston Grey Leather Chukkas – $79.99]( ($99) - [Frye Jones Chukkas – $139.99]( ($199) - [Aston Grey Leather Longwings – $79.99]( ($99.99) - [Aston Grey Leather Wingtip Boot – $99.99]( ($119.99) - [Aston Grey Chelsea – $69.99]( ($79.99) - [Timberland Earthkeepers 6″ Zip Boot – $139.99]( ($159.99) DSW’s excellent for the price chukkas are back.

Q: What to wear with a gray herringbone sport coat? [Q: What to wear with a gray herringbone sport coat? | Dappered.com](//www.landsend.com/products/mens-tailored-fit-flannel-herringbone-sportcoat/id_313572?sku_0=::JGH) “A few weeks back I picked up [the tailored fit wool flannel Sport Coat](//www.landsend.com/products/mens-tailored-fit-flannel-herringbone-sportcoat/id_313572?sku_0=::JGH) from Lands’ End during a sale. Which brings me to my question: how do I wear it? Specifically, I’m not sure what kind of pants to wear it with. Navy? Khaki? Light grey? Cotton? Wool? I’m at a loss.” -Paul K. I’m very pro “business mullet” (sportcoat and jeans) and I think with that flannel texture, that’s a real easy play here. Either with an OCBD or a dress shirt. You could go with wool trousers, but make sure there’s some contrast in terms of texture. If it’s flannel on flannel, it’ll look funny unless it’s worn with [the matching pants](//www.landsend.com/products/mens-tailored-fit-flannel-heringbone-trousers/id_313574). Chinos or crisp cotton dress pants should work too. In fact, I think some lighter grey, well pressed chinos, a white shirt, and a black v-neck would look pretty sharp. Almost a winter-monochrome thing going on. Honestly, there’s lots of options with that particular jacket. Try on a few different pairs of pants at home, and trust your gut. It’s more versatile than you might think. Good luck! Q: [Timex Marlin](, what’s your deal? [Q: Timex Marlin, what's your deal? | Dappered.com]( “You don’t need to be 5’4″ to wear a watch this size – that’s a pretty over the top statement. You made your disdain for classic-sized watches very clear, but keep in mind that they’re classic for a reason.” – Ian A. (via twitter) “Really Joe? You do realize this is a women’s watch” -Steven B. (via facebook) Ian, I never said you had to be 5’4″ to wear the Marlin. Steven, Timex calls the Marlin “The Gentleman’s Standard.” Meanwhile, you two are confusing me. Am I being a knuckle dragger who thinks classically sized watches are too small? Or am I somehow being less than manly for doing a review of the thing? Q: What are featured posts? I don’t understand them. [Dappered.com featured posts] “The article is a year old. pretty much every link is old, who works for this site anymore?” -Nicholas B, via Facebook, under a “featured post” post Who works here? The same four people who have been working for this site for the last, I dunno, five years? Same three have been working on it for almost a decade. With some others that have come and gone on a contributor basis of course. Anyway, featured posts are what we like to call “Evergreen” posts. Basically, advice that still holds up over time, even if specific links to products might have since expired. Because there are only so many “how to buy a cheap suit” articles one can write (although I’ve still got at least another four or five left in me). But we’ll try to update some of those links in the 5,086 total posts that we’ve published, just for you Nick, since you’ve asked so nicely. Q: Suit Separates Upgrade [Dappered.com] “My old JCF Thompson suits are starting to look a little worn, I have a pretty tall/lanky frame, so suit separates are very convenient for me as I don’t need to take them to a tailor. I have been browsing your lists of Best Navy Suits and the JCF Thompson seems to be the highest ranked suit that is sold as separates. Would you recommend that I stick with them, or are the B.R. or J Crew Ludlow suits better enough to warrant an upgrade?” -Andrew M. The main line Ludlows are better, but pretty spendy at full price. You’ll have to wait for a sale. Have you considered going custom? I came to think for a while there that custom just wasn’t worth the trouble, but I’ve recently found that [Black Lapel]() (unlike a lot of other custom companies) really does a great job. Otherwise, yes, J. Crew mainline is your best bet, but full price is asking a lot. BR is fine too, but they’re fused and waiting for 40% – 50% off is a must. That said, the Italian wool they use seems to be nicer, at least to me, than Factory’s Thompson line. Q. Suitsupply Outlet Stock down this time? [Suitsupply] “Is it just me, or was this season’s selection WAY more limited? I’m a 44R with them (hardly a hard-to-find size), and I’ve had my pick of a lot of options during the last 3 or 4 outlets (I thankfully throw my credit card away after buying one jacket). This year, it just seemed like it was weirder stuff, and less of everything.” -Brandon D. Could have been. But it’s always more limited in the winter, because it’s mostly leftover spring/summer stock. I think. And they have been expanding into more and more markets. Lots more brick and mortars. Perhaps that’s why there’s less inventory floating about in their warehouse? I dunno. They still got me this time around. They get me EVERY time, despite the final sale nature. Now I gotta figure out how to wear a double breasted cashmere outerwear vest. Q. [Early January’s content really “Sucked”]( [Dappered Threads] If you’d like, you can [head here for the thread](, on threads, that voiced (some) displeasure with the first few weeks of content for January. I’ll try to address some of the feedback below, one user at a time. @MFriedman: Sorry to hear you feel this way. A refund for your January Dappered membership fee is in the mail. @DrewCPA: Not quite, but close. Thanks for the suggestions about the Dappered Space and Style Scenarios. @hockeysc23: Like, spats? @gochrisgo: That’s awfully kind of you, but not necessary. I’d just like it if people turned off ad block. @Pepetito: In this climate? @Tact: Yes. @C.Dubs: Indeed. @Vic: Correct. And thanks. Q. Why would anyone wear a suit without a tie? “Step 1 to wearing a suit without a tie? Don’t.” -Tom M., on Facebook, under our featured post (that’s for you Nicholas B!) “[How to wear a suit without a tie]( I always find it interesting, the certainty with which some express a contrarian, absolutist opinion on social media, adjacent to a crowd of others who by way of a “like” or “fav” button have painfully and obviously outnumbered him or her. I mean, Tom here is posting his unoriginal reply directly beneath six people who have already LIKED the post. It’s akin to sitting down to Thanksgiving dinner as the bird is getting passed around, and just as it gets to you you shout “TURKEY SUCKS WORSE THAN EARLY JANUARY CONTENT ON DAPPERED!” I mean, that’s great Tom. You don’t like Turkey. Thanks for letting us know. Enjoy your [hungry man]() at home next year. Q. Could you do more Mailbags? “I don’t have a specific question, but I wanted to say that I really like the mailbag / Letter’s to the Editor segment that you do. Is there any way you could do more of them?” -Andrew R. Just depends on how many questions roll in. Until then, here’s Colin’s bear animation.

That was one of the major disincentives to doing business with the style forward, Spanish (still made in China but finished in Spain?) Goodyear welted shoe company, [Meermin Mallorca](.� But now thanks to a policy shift (and small footprint in the United States) it seems that customers won’t be on the hook for international returns. See the email below, kindly provided by reader CJ C.: So. Does this mean they’re gonna include a pre-paid shipping label in every box? I highly doubt that’s gonna be the case. Sounds like if you live in New York City, you can hand deliver any returns to the store. If you’re not in NYC, you’re probably gonna have to shell out for shipping them back to said store. But at least returns won’t have to head clear across the Atlantic, back to Spain, of which you’re still paying $35 to have them shipped from. For now. That’s all. Carry on. [Meermin Mallorca]( Some of Meermin’s basic line. Prices don’t include the $35 outbound shipping charge. ff/Dappered?a=0hinRvFLbj8:wP9sv8tD1x4:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=0hinRvFLbj8:wP9sv8tD1x4:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=0hinRvFLbj8:wP9sv8tD1x4:gIN9vFwOqvQ You are subscribed to email updates from [Dappered Style Mail]().
