East Dane doesn’t usually run sales this close together. But maybe it’s mid-season clearance time, and they’re trying to unload some of the warm weather stuff to make way for the fall/winter gear that’s coming in? No matter the case, it’s still East Dane. And thus, most of it is gonna be high end and/or a bit weird in terms of style. But that doesn’t mean some classic wheelhouse stuff isn’t lurking in there, now on double sale thanks to the code. And it all ships fast and free, especially fast if you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber. East Dane is an Amazon project, so, they’re fulfilling this stuff. Off we go with some (quick) picks. [Loake L1 Ealing Apron Derby Shoes – $175.87]( ($335) [Loake L1 Ealing Apron Derby Shoes]( Not usually a big apron and/or split toe guy myself, but for whatever reason these look really appealing. Two colors of suede to pick from, made in the UK, and they do appear to be goodyear welted? Possibly? Probably? [Fjallraven Splitpack Backpack – $105]( ($175) [Fjallraven Splitpack Backpack]( Best of both worlds. Ballistic weave shell. Interior with mesh compartment panels. Carry as a duffel, or, utilize those backpack straps for longer jaunts. [Baracuta G10 Jacket in Dark Navy]( or [Faded Black – $312.37]( ($595) [Baracuta G10 Jacket]( Made in the UK, claims “coolmax” technology, and it has those classic baracuta style pockets. Shell is a 50% cotton / 50% polyester blend. [Made in the USA Snap Wallet in Tan]( or [Brown – $33.75]( ($75) [Made in the USA Snap Wallet]( Might be a touch big to be used as a business card case. It’s 4.75″ wide, and business cards are 3.5″ x 2″. Could look pretty sweet though. Made in the USA of course. [Kenneth Cole Double Monk Strap Loafers – $84]( ($160) [Kenneth Cole Double Monk Strap Loafers]( Kenneth Cole doesn’t get a lot of run around these parts, because most of the time the quality just isn’t there, and/or the styling is funky. These could be a sneaky winner though. Toe looks timeless. And while you don’t want to expect a ton in terms of quailty, the price is right and they ship and return for free. Plus, these are from the main line, and not the lower end REACTION line. [Ted Baker Wallace Brief – $249]( ($415) | [Trough Brief – $143.40]( ($239) [Ted Baker Briefcases ]( Two briefcases, both by the UK design brand Ted Baker, and both “imported” (one from India, one from China). No surprise that the cheaper of the two is faux leather. Still could be worth taking a crack at if you’re looking for something less casual and more city, but still contemporary. [PS by Paul Smith Andy Suede Chelsea – $121.87]( ($325) [PS by Paul Smith Andy Suede Chelsea]( Sand colored, suede chelseas are pretty big this year. Mainly because of that brand with the gold foil looking serial numbers stamped on the outside of the heel. (I still can’t recall what it is and I still don’t care to know because they’re absurdly expensive.) These don’t have that. But they are made in Portugal and even though it’s a diffusion brand from Paul Smith, you’ve gotta think the quality would be there. And hell, if it’s not, send em’ back. Again, everything ships and returns for free. Limited sizes on these at post time. [Michael Kors Harrison Double Pocket Leather Briefcase – $223.87]( ($498) [Michael Kors Harrison Double Pocket Leather Briefcase]( Looks like it’s made from that micro-textured “saffiano” leather. Liking that particular shade of gray. Stands out without shouting. Dimensions are 12.25″ x 15.75″ 2.75″. [Loake L1 Suede Oxford Wingtips – $175.87]( ($335) [Loake L1 Suede Oxford Wingtips]( Made in the UK. Suede uppers in a wingtip style. True oxford style lacing. Certainly more of a spring/summer shoe thanks to the shade of the suede. [Coach New York Metropolitan Briefcase – $207.37]( ($395) [Coach New York Metropolitan Briefcase]( Still kinda sorta spendy for a mainly ballistic nylon briefcase? Yeah, one could say that. But if you like the color and the leather accents and how it’s all pulled together… it might be tough to replicate anywhere else. [Emporio Armani Square Watch – $102.37]( ($195) | [L&J Meridian Watch – $222]( ($370) [East Dane Watches]( Inexpensive on the left, and Swiss Quarts on the right. Both unique case shapes. Not really familiar wit Larsson & Jennings. And by “not really” I mean not at all. Totally unfamiliar. [This should help](. [Cole Haan Grand Harrison Double Monk – $115.50]( ($220) [Cole Haan Grand Harrison Double Monk]( Are Cole Haan shoes seen as overpriced at full retail by most? Yes! Are these almost certainly gonna be better than $115.50 shoes? Yes! Stiched sole too. Down to sizes 7, 10.5, and 12 at post time. [Tumi True Wireless Earbuds – $157.50]( ($300) [Tumi True Wireless Earbuds]( I’m hardly an audiophile here (previous careers have all but shot my hearing to shit at far too young an age). For example, when on the floor at the gym, I wear crappy, cheap, wired Sony ear buds. I know. I’m a neanderthal. So I have zero clue if these are any good.  The Extra 25% off East Dane sale items codes EXTRA25 expires Thursday 7/12/18. ff/Dappered?a=77Qbwgk1xIM:piGURjiWhpw:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=77Qbwgk1xIM:piGURjiWhpw:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=77Qbwgk1xIM:piGURjiWhpw:gIN9vFwOqvQ [Steal Alert: Amazon’s Goodthreads OCBDS on sale for $17.50](r/Dappered/~3/XHj_C8o258c/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email) Posted: 10 Jul 2018 08:55 AM PDT [Goodthreads OCBD in Slim]( or [Standard Fit – $17.50]( ($25) exp 7/10 NOTE: Remember that these are only available to Amazon Prime members. Wanna take a short sleeve OCBD for a spin? [They have those in slim]( and [standard fit as well](, and they’re also on sale today. Just select your size and the sale price should pop up. These shirts are the shirty-est shirts to ever shirt. Meaning? They’re shirts. Nothing fancy. But not flimsy or crummy quality either. Here’s the details in case you’re interested in taking part in this one-day-deal currently running on Amazon. Huge thanks to reader Daniel C. for the tip! The Quality/Construction - Mid weight fabric. Not paper thin, not super thick or heavy either. A nice, year-round weight (barring super hot days in the summer). Not scratchy or stiff. Decently soft/washed feeling out of the box. - Your choice of pocket. You choose whether you get a pocket or not. How very accommodating of them. - Box pleat in the back [for ease of movement]( - Collar is basic. No roll at the points. They’re just flat to the front of the shirt like other cheap OCBDs. - Stitching/Buttons/Etc. Everything seems to be a-okay. Nothing super fancy. But nothing falling off/unraveling either. - Origin = Made in China. I’m sure you’re stunned. [In Review: Amazon's Goodthreads Button Down Oxford Cloth Shirts | Dappered.com]( Mid-weight oxford fabric. No chest pocket. Center, box pleat in the back. The Fit (both slim and regular) Currently Goodthreads is offering their shirts in two fits, slim and regular, with their product descriptions saying the slim fits 2 inches slimmer in the chest and waist. That seems, and feels, about right: [In Review: Amazon's Goodthreads Button Down Oxford Cloth Shirts | Dappered.com] Left top & bottom: The Slim Fit Right top & Bottom: The Regular Fit Both shirts are a medium shown on [5’10” / 185-190 lbs]( The Conclusion They’re hard to beat at this price, especially considering the fast and free shipping if you’ve got Prime. If you’re of reasonable/more common proportions, then opting for a slim should feel like a slim. If you’re bigger/broader? Stick with the regular. That’s all. Carry on. [In Review: Amazon's Goodthreads Button Down Oxford Cloth Shirts | Dappered.com] [Sportcoat]( and jeans by Bonobos. Watch by [Standard Issue Instruments](. (Sold out.) ff/Dappered?a=XHj_C8o258c:GJmyfauoSE8:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=XHj_C8o258c:GJmyfauoSE8:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=XHj_C8o258c:GJmyfauoSE8:gIN9vFwOqvQ [Most Wanted Affordable Style – July 2018](r/Dappered/~3/v4A9_PTo1kU/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email) Posted: 10 Jul 2018 08:00 AM PDT Whether you’re looking for gift ideas or a quick upgrade for yourself, expect these to come around about once a month. You’ll find new arrivals and old favorites, especially good deals, or maybe something pricey to keep an eye on for future sales. The potential best of the best, which you may or may not have seen already. Got a tip on something that deserves to end up in the monthly Most Wanted? [Send those in here](mailto:joe@dappered.com?subject=style%20tip). [Amazon Goodthreads 9″ Lightweight Oxford Short – $25]( [Amazon Goodthreads 9" Lightweight Oxford Short]( Wait, wut? Since when has Amazon’s Goodthreads brand been making oxford cloth shorts?!? Could be game changers. 98% cotton, 2% spandex, and ships super fast since you gotta have prime to get your hands on and legs in these things. Five colors to pick from. [Bonobos Unconstructed Italian Wool Blazer in Slim, Standard, or Athletic (!) – $320]( w/ ECLIPSE20 ($400) [Bonobos Unconstructed Italian Wool Blazer on Dappered.com]( Bonobos seemed to have slimmed down their standard fit blazers a year or so ago, so those with any mass on their upper halfs started to feel a little squeezed in that area. This new athletic fit claims (and feels) to have more room up top, while still having a bit of taper through the mid-section. And the unconstructed Italian hopsack wool is PERFECT for the dog days of summer. Just butterfly lined in the back in the same wool that the jacket is made out of. Only the sleeves are lined in Bemberg. Super breezy, and extremely easy to dress up or down. It also works year round, especially if you’re the type who runs a bit warm. Size shown above is a light grey 40R in the new Athletic fit. [Christopher Ward C3 Grand Tourer Chronograph – $455]( [Christopher Ward C3 Grand Tourer Chronograph]( I’m on record saying I’m not a big fan of Christopher Ward’s new hyper minimalist logo/branding… but good grief does it ever work here. Yes it’s a quartz, and yes it’s spendy for a quartz, but man alive did they nail the retro-aesthetic look on this thing. Silver-white face, blue hands and tachymeter ring, black date dial at six… it’s a master class. 39mm in diameter. 20 mm strap width. [BR Aiden Slim Core Temp Pant in “Blue Dusk” – $98](//bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&pid=320597062&searchText=core+temp) [BR Aiden Slim Core Temp Pant in "Blue Dusk"](//bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&pid=320597062&searchText=core+temp) The newest addition to Banana Republic’s lineup of outstanding Core Temp pants. A perfect, medium blue. Not dark navy (they already make those) but something more akin to the “admiral blue” you see many spring/summer suits made out of. [These are a cotton/poly blend pant with TONS of stretch](, and they breathe exceptionally well. Now if they could just make a light gray option we’d be in business. Will go on sale from time to time, but more often than not these pants get excluded from promotions. [Gustin Made in Italy White/Green – $154]() or [White/Gum Sneakers – $149]() [Gustin Made in Italy Sneakers]() It’s gonna take a LOT to get some of us to give up our Stan Smiths… but these might just do the trick. Made in Italy from full grain Italian Nappa leather. Italian-made Margom rubber gum sole is cemented internally and reinforced with 360° stitching to the upper. These are timeless classics made with real attention to detail. But it is Gustin, so, you’ll have to shell out the cash now and then wait. They’re a pre-order model. Estimated ship date isn’t until October. BONUS [J. Crew Slim Italian Merino Cardigan – $34.99 – $55.99](//www.jcrew.com/p/mens_category/sweaters/merino/slim-italian-merino-wool-cardigan-sweater/H0194?sale=true&color_name=hthr-coal&isFromSale=true) w/ SHOPNOW ($89.50) [J. Crew Slim Italian Merino Cardigan](//www.jcrew.com/p/mens_category/sweaters/merino/slim-italian-merino-wool-cardigan-sweater/H0194?sale=true&color_name=hthr-coal&isFromSale=true) Of course it’s not sweater weather, but if you work in an office with unpredictable HVAC, then one of these slim, temperature regulating cardigans can come in handy during the summer months. And they’re hugely versatile in the fall and winter. A true slim fit, terrific Italian merino wool, and just enough substance to the fabric that they’re lightweight, yet don’t feel flimsy. Nice buttons and placket too. Don’t knock the slim merino wool cardigan until you’ve tried it.
