Men’s Sales Handful](r/Dappered/~3/tKfDYV-ePIo/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email) Posted: 12 Jul 2018 03:00 AM PDT 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. [Huckberry: Big ol’ Summer Sale]( [Huckberry]( - [Astorflex Chelsea Boots in Sabbia (neutral)]( or [Cuoio – $90]( ($180) - [USA Made J. Stark Waxed Canvas Brief in Olive]( or [Brown – $209.98]( ($295) - [Northern Light Optics NL4 – $74.98]( ($159) - [About Vintage Blue Dial Chronograph – $249.98]( ($349) - [Levi Moon Levitating Light – $169.98]( ($289) - [Made in the USA Chippewa x Huckberry 6″ Boot in Roughout Suede or Leather – $189.98]( ($280) It’s mid season clearance time people. Now that we’re all sweating balls, what better time to buy some boots, eh? It actually is a good time, considering the prices. They want to get this stuff out of their warehouse to make room for the new fall stuff on the way. So this old stuff from last fall has gotta go. Still can’t believe those Astorflex boots are kickin’ about at ninety bucks. Also. Levi moon sale? Awwww yeeeeeeeah. Big thanks to Brandon D. for the tip! [Brooks Brothers: Summer Online Sale](//www.brooksbrothers.com/Clearance/mens-online-clearance-sale,default,sc.html) + [Clearance](//www.brooksbrothers.com/Sale/men-clothing-sale,default,sc.html) [Brooks Brothers](//www.brooksbrothers.com/Sale/men-clothing-sale,default,sc.html) - [Made in the USA Medallion Perforated Captoes – $269](//www.brooksbrothers.com/Medallion-Perforated-Captoes/MH00025,default,pd.html?dwvar_MH00025_Color=MDBR&contentpos=25) ($428) - [Made in the USA Leather Captoes – $269](//www.brooksbrothers.com/Leather-Captoes/MH00218,default,pd.html?dwvar_MH00218_Color=CL60&contentpos=35) ($428) - [Made in the USA Red Wings – $245](//www.brooksbrothers.com/Red-Wing-9016-Cigar-Featherstone/MH00118,default,pd.html) ($350) - [Made in the USA Longwings – $269](//www.brooksbrothers.com/Long-Wingtips/MH00215,default,pd.html) ($428) This is a weird one because they’re advertising a summer clearance AND a summer sale… yet most prices don’t look like they’ve moved much if at all? Beats me. I thought the Allen Edmonds for Brooks Brothers shoes were long gone. But it doesn’t appear that way. Some people insist that these aren’t AEs, but… the Park Avenue style (the plain oxford cap toes) are still labeled as AEs. And if they aren’t from Allen Edmonds… who’s making them? Made in the USA and Goodyear welted. Boots are obviously Red Wings. [Spier & Mackay: New Items Added to Sale]( + [2 for $40 Polos (reg. $30 each)]( [Spier & Mackay]( - [Vitale Barberis Gray/Blue Windowpane Suit in Slim]( or [Contemporary – $299.99]( ($398) - [Vitale Barberis Navy Mesh Hopsack Sportcoat – $278]( ($318) just 40R left at post time - [Vitale Barberis Charcoal Mesh Hopsack Sportcoat in Slim]( or [Contemporary – $249.99]( ($318) - [Guabello Blue/Burgundy Check Suit in Slim]( or [Contemporary – $349.99]( ($398) Sizes are scattered (it’s Spier & Mackay after all) but there are still some solid deals to be found in their sale section right now. And it’s not just suits and sportcoats. Trousers, sweaters, ties… etc. But if you are going for something more dressed up/tailored, [head here for a review]( of their slim fit suits, and [head here for a review]( of their more generous contemporary fit. Meanwhile, for those who are a fan of their polos, [they’re doing a two for $40 deal through 7/15](. That’s a savings of $10 each when you buy two or more. [Massdrop: Allen Edmonds Chukkas Still Available – $249.99]( FINAL [Massdrop X Allen Edmonds]( Looks like the chocolate brown is sold out, but the other colors are still fair game. I’m wondering if the timetable is just too long this time. It’s the middle of summer, and you’re asking guys to lay down a quarter of a grand on shoes they won’t see until the very end of October (the estimated ship date). That’s a lonnnnnnnnnnng time. AND you can’t return them if they don’t work out? That’s a big ask. [Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale Early Access Starts NOW]( [Nordstrom]( And we’re off. If you’re a cardmember. For the rest of us, we’ll have to wait until Friday July 20th. And yes, we’ll have a full run down of picks then when the doors are thrown open to the general public. BONUS [Massdrop: Glycine Moonphase – $399]( FINAL [Dappered.com]( Oddly easy to dress up or down for a moonphase. Swiss made automatic with a true moonphase cutout (it’s not some AM/PM indicator). Final sale of course, being that once again this is Massdrop. Also worth a mention: - [Club Monaco]( Extra 30% off sale styles. No code needed. - [J.

There is value in looking back. It gives us all a good gauge as to what is good, and more importantly, what is not good, going forward. Sure, the “[clip show](” is mostly a cheap (affordable?) device to create new content out of already published stuff. But it’s also a good way to catch up in case you missed something. So [cue the flashback music](. Here’s the very best from the month that was… [Best Sale: J. Crew 30% off + extra 20% off]( (expired) [J. Crew]( Stacking codes plus a bunch of stuff that sometimes gets excluded not getting excluded? Excellent. Their unconstructed Portuguese cotton/linen sportcoats were down under $100 during this point. Not bad at all. [Best Individual Item Deal: Spier & Mackay Suits under $300]( [Dappered.com]( J. Crew Factory normally charges $299 for their fused Thompson line of wool suits. And they often excluded suits from codes. So to get a half canvas, bemberg lined Spier & Mackay suit for under three bills? That’s something. There were two opportunities (now both expired) for this deal last month. There was [the 4th of July 15% off deal](, and then there was [the Massdrop deal]( that saw Italian wool super 120s suits going for $299. It was a very good month to buy a suit.

Makes a man want to move to the Faroe Islands. [Most welcome return: Massdrop’s Allen Edmonds Chukkas]( [Massdrop X Allen Edmonds]( They’re back! In two new colors no less. Navy and Olive are making their debut along with the usual sand, snuff, and chocolate. Chocolate has sold out as of post time, and know that these things are gonna be a lonnnnng wait. You pay now, and they won’t ship until late October. Final sale too.

[Skippiest Pants: Banana Republic Core Temp Chinos]( [Dappered.com]( My first grade gym teacher used to make us warm up by first jogging, and then skipping, and then [galloping]( to [Go you Chicken Fat Go]( So, I got practice. Yet the one time I got in any amount of trouble was when Mr. Keepers was trying to make the class square dance (yes, that was part of P.E. where I grew up) and I led a quiet mutiny, getting all of us in the class to sit down, unifying in our refusal to participate. I preferred kickball. My parents were pissed when Ms. Carron (the Principal) called home with the lowdown. Anyway, nice pants. [Full review here](.

Yet you’re recommending the rest of us wear Timexs? Dude, where do you get off?” – Travis L. via email Nice eye. But everyone has their thing. And I pinch pennies in other places. And I don’t have kids. And I don’t really buy spendy watches anymore. I bought one, and then another, and then another and sold the first to fund the last and now that’s it for me. I dunno, I understand that some might see it as hypocritical, but I’ll be the first one to acknowledge the absurdity of spending large quantities of money on a piece of outdated technology with a function that can be easily surpassed by much, MUCH cheaper, contemporary alternatives. It’s REALLY dumb. I get that. But I’m not saying you should do it. Your Timex is gonna keep better time than my Tag Heuer any day. Crazy, eh?
