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.Â
[J. Crew Factory: 50% off most everything](//factory.jcrew.com/mens-clothing.jsp?sidecar=true) + [Extra 20% off select items w/ SAVEMORE](//factory.jcrew.com/mens_clothing/20offselectstyles.jsp?sidecar=true)

Not bad. Half off, suiting is excluded, but sportcoats are in fact up for the cut. And a few (not many, don’t get your hopes up) items [are getting an additional 20% off with the code SAVEMORE](//factory.jcrew.com/mens_clothing/20offselectstyles.jsp?sidecar=true). Also, by the looks of it, light blues and grays are gonna be a thing this year?
[Club Monaco: Get 25% off w/ STARTFRESH](
[Club Monaco](
- [Club Monaco Leather Sneaker – $73.87]( ($98.50)Â
- [Filson Briefcase in Black – $243.75]( ($325)Â
- [Red Wing Sheldon Boot – $277.49]( ($369.99)Â

Only exclusions appear to be Birkenstock, Viberg, Woolrich, and Zespa. So Allen Edmonds and Red Wings are up for the 25% off. Not bad.
[Orient Star Classic Automatic – $239.99]( FINAL ($345)
[Orient Star Classic Automatic](
A super classy dress watch from [Orient’s Upgraded line](. Final sale since it’s Massdrop. Doesn’t ship until early March. Mineral crystal, which is a little odd. (You’d think they’d use sapphire on their higher end line? There are pros and cons to each though.) But the 22 jewel movement, power reserve indicator, hacking/hand-winding function, and timeless good looks are nice at this price. 38.5mm case diameter, so, a more classically sized watch. Usually runs $345 direct via Orient.
[J. Crew:Â 30% off select full price & sale w/ WKND](//www.jcrew.com/c/mens_feature/newarrivals?Nloc=en&Npge=1&Nrpp=1000)

Boy. J. Crew feels like they’re stuck between two seasons right now. [And the early spring arrivals are](//www.jcrew.com/c/mens_feature/newarrivals), man I hate to say it, pretty plain Jane. To the point of norm core. Thus, why the picks above are limited to items from last season that are getting an extra 30% off and are already in the sale section.
[Banana Republic: 40% off almost no BR merch exclusions](//bananarepublic.gap.com/)

In case you missed it yesterday. Card members still get an extra 10% off when they use the code BRCARD at checkout. Always a good time to pick up stuff that’s usually excluded (like Rapid Movement or Traveler Jeans) during one of these sales. [Full picks here](.
Also worth a mention:

[The Valentine’s Day Playlist: Ain’t Nothin’ But Mammals.](r/Dappered/~3/w35FjzaDFCw/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email)
Posted: 13 Feb 2019 02:00 PM PST
Music is a little like [food]( and clothes. These are areas where itâs probably worthwhile for one to explore & expand their tastes. The Playlist is assembled each month by [Dapperedâs very own music correspondent]( Tim Johnstone. Tim is a former Virgin Records Label Rep & current award winning Program Director at [KRVB](, which was awarded the FMQB AAA station of the year markets 50+. You can also catch his work on Fridays when he assembles [the Weekend Reset](. Got a Spotify account? Youâll find a link to this monthâs playlist at the end of the post.
‘Sup fellas. Whether you are still boning honing your skills or you are already a [pompatus of love]( Valentine’s Day comes with expectations. Or, perhaps, better expressed as hopes and dreams. This is it. The big game. Hopefully you’ve followed [our advice](Â on the gift front. You didn’t forget a card, did you? Cards are important people! And so is the proper atmosphere. I’ll leave most of the specifics to you. Except, of course, the playlist.
Because nothing sets the stage like music. And collected herein, some of the most celebrated songs about sexy times. Also know that this might require headphones. And you might not want to watch some of these videos/listen to the tracks at work.
[The Bloodhound Gang – “The Bad Touch”](

I’m not saying that this was the inspiration for this playlist because the title of the post hopefully already made the point for me.
[Black Keys – “Howlin For You”](
Stylistically, this track from The Black Keys comes from a rich history of [naughty R&B that dates back to the 1930’s.](
[Lil Kim – “How Many Licks”](
This is just… something. I blush every time I hear it. And then I remember the [women who paved that path before.](
[Sheena Easton – “Sugar Walls”](

That one time Prince remade The “My baby takes the morning train” Sheena Easton into the ” (My sugar walls) oooh (my sugar walls)” Sheena Easton.
[Ginuwine – “Pony”](

Ah Pony. Once again, metaphor. It’s not all word games though as later in the song we hear about “Juices flowing down your thigh.” So yeah. Editor’s Note:Â This is on the Mount Rushmore of songs about this sort of activity. Top four all time. Don’t argue with me. From that very first BYEAAAH, and then on to BYOWWW, followed by another, yet just different enough BYEAAAH… It is a redirection of blood flow masterpiece.
[Nine Inch Nails – “Closer”](

It doesn’t get any more straightforward that this.
[Donna Summer – “Love To Love You Baby”](

No pressure or anything: this is the original 17 minute version of Summer’s first hit. [It comes with its own backstory](.
[AC/DC – “Whole Lotta Rosie”](

“Wanna tell you story/About woman I know/When it comes to lovin’/She steals the show”
[Prince -“Erotic City”](

Originally a b-side, this would become one of his most popular hits. Also, the lyric “we can f*ck until the dawn” isn’t even the bawdiest of the song.
[Marvin Gaye “Let’s Get It On”](
Obligatory. This is Zeus. Compared to some of the other songs here, this is classy. Mostly because it is.
[George Michael – “I Want Your Sex”](

Once again, taking a direct approach with this one. In two parts.
[James Brown – “Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine”](

I love the whole spoken word set up at the beginning.
[Peter Gabriel – “Sledgehammer”](
If we are being honest, it is only a short leap from this euphemism loaded video to the skits by Monty Python.
[Kelis – “Milkshake”](

“La la-la la la, /Â The boys are waiting,”
[Big Black – Songs About F*cking](

This is an entire album of hardcore punk rock songs about this month’s theme.
[Meatloaf – “Paradise By the Dashboard Light”](
Featuring the old “play by play” metaphor and everything.
[Billy Idol – “Rebel Yell”](

Perfect for when your partner is insatiable.
[The Divinyls – “I Touch Myself”](

In retrospect, it’s not that risqué compared to much of what we see today. But at the time…
[INXS – “Need You Tonight”](

“I need you tonight, cuz I’m not sleeping.” Uh. OK….OH. Oh heh. Gotcha.
[Frankie Goes to Hollywood- “Relax”](

Just, you know, don’t overthink it.

[Style Scenario – Valentine’s Day 2019: Alone at Home](r/Dappered/~3/W1DoBNaP6zg/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email)
Posted: 13 Feb 2019 10:00 AM PST
What are you going to wear? Sometimes itâs good to look at a few suggestions then add your own tweaks and ideas. Thatâs what these are for. Valentineâs Day is fast approaching, and three scenarios ([going out](, [staying in](, and staying in solo) have now been tackled. Single this Valentineâs? Want to avoid the love drunk (or just plain drunk) masses? Might be a good night (or weekend) to saddle up to the sofa and take it very easy. (Top photo [credit]()
The Sweater: [UniqloÂ]( Cotton Striped Sweater – $29.90]( Comfort is the name of the game on a night like this, so a classic staple like this crew neck is a great choice. Easy to pair with just about anything, and easy to take care of since it’s machine washable.
The Pants: [Bonobos Travel Jeans in Hanover Green – $62.40]( w/ ECLIPSE20 ($98). Comfy without being hyper stretchy. 98% cotton, 2% elastane. Just fine for lounging on the couch binge watching your favorite show. Lots of colors and sizes available, but keep in mind that they’re final sale.
The Watch: [CasioÂ]([Super IlluminatorÂ]([Dive Watch – $68.76](. Classic dive watch looks, at a great price. And, with the illuminated dial, you’ll still be able to see what time it is if you’re eating your pizza in the dark. Over the sink. As one does.
The Belt: [Lands’ End Men’s Elastic Braid Belt in Radiant Navy – $23.97](//www.landsend.com/products/mens-elastic-braid-belt/id_272981?sku_0=::DRC)Â w/ FRIENDS & 8974Â ($39.95). Comfortable, and adds a little bit of color to a fairly straightforward outfit.
The Socks: [Bombas Merino Wool Ankle Socks – $18.00](. We have featured Bombas socks before, and yes, they’re not cheap (but, they’re very well made and they donate one pair for every pair purchased). You’re not buying a gift for anyone else right? [Treat. Yo. Self.]( They do offer 20% off with an email sign up for any first timers.
The Shoes: [Vulcanizer Work Slip On – $77.98]( ($130). House shoes that can also do just fine on a quick run to the store. The canvas uppers and vulcanized rubber soles should last you a long time. On sale via Huckberry.
The Entertainment: [The Expanse – $19.99 per season]( (streams free w/ Amazon Prime). Based on the [books]( by James Corey, The Expanse takes you on a journey to the future where we have colonized Mars, war looms, and someone has discovered a possible alien biological weapon. The first couple of episodes are difficult to get through, but if you can give it a go, it quickly becomes really binge-worthy. Thomas Jane (The Punisher) leads a great cast.
The Indulgent Provisions:Â A Favorite Libation (prices vary)Â & Pizza. Most pizza delivery spots will be having Valentine’s Day specials, so you might as well take advantage of it. This is a judgement free zone. Get that heart shaped pizza if you so desire.
The Strategy: Unplug from social media for the night… or longer? Don’t go creeping over to your ex’s Facebook or Instagram page. Take some pride in being better than that. And while you’re at it, consider how much you’ve been sharing on social media as of late. Are you over sharing? Could you share… less? There’s nothing mysterious about the dude who posts photos from every hike or weekend trip, or worse, fills his friend’s news feeds with unsolicited “deep” thoughts.
The Unsolicited Annual Advice:Â If you canât find a way to ever be happy with only your thoughts for company, then youâll never truly be happy in a relationship. Better to be single and smart than stupidly shacked up for the sake of having companionship.
