[Get started here.]( 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. [EXPRESS: 40% off Everything](//www.express.com/) [Express](//www.express.com/) - [Piped Cotton/Spandex Performance Polo – $29.94](//www.express.com/clothing/men/piped-moisture-wicking-performance-polo/pro/05047580/color/WHITE/e/regular/) ($49.90) - [Cotton/Spandex Performance Polo – $23.94](//www.express.com/clothing/men/solid-performance-polo/pro/05047075/color/BLACK/e/regular/) ($39.90) - [Nubuck Dress Shoes – $64.80](//www.express.com/clothing/men/nubuck-dress-shoes/pro/04535011/color/GRAY/) ($108) - [Chambray Trim Low Top Sneakers – $41.94](//www.express.com/clothing/men/chambray-trim-low-top-sneakers/pro/04534509/color/CHALK/) ($69.90) - [Perforated Suede Sneakers – $41.94](//www.express.com/clothing/men/perforated-suede-sneakers/pro/04534875/color/GRAY/) ($69.90) Heading into the warm weather season, EXPRESS seems to have, oddly enough, more than a few pieces inspired by classic (if not straight up retro) menswear. Avoid the logos kids. Stick with the unbranded stuff, as shown in the picks above. Those piped performance polos look darn near perfect. Efforting an in person soon. 40% off just about everything ends tomorrow, 3/29. [Massdrop: Orient Kamasu Automatic Dive Watch – $180]( FINAL ($450) [Orient]( Sometimes I wonder just what the hell is going on over at Massdrop. Continuity? The hell is that? Here, they’re insisting this is the “Mako III.” Which apparently it is very much not. [It’s a new model called the Kamasu](. Massdrop has also somehow mixed in some new “Kano” watches too (the ones without the triangle at 12 o’clock). Now, that said… hell of a price. Currently going for $100 more over at Orient if you want to buy direct. 41.8mm case diameter. Automatic movement of course. Day and date. Sapphire crystal. 200m water resistance. A pretty slick summertime (okay, year-round) companion. Estimated ship date is April 22nd. [Spier and Mackay: $10 off Dress Shirts, $35 – $55]( ($45 – $65) [Spier & Mackay]( No bundling required this time. No code. Just click and get a shirt in your cart and ten bucks should get knocked off. Good through this Saturday. Oxford cloth button downs (with awfully nice collars) are now $38 instead of the usual $48. [Club Monaco: 25% off $150+ w/ HELLOSPRING]( [Club Monaco]( - [100% Cashmere Ribbed Hoodie – $223.50]( ($298) - [Coaches Jacket – $148.87]( ($198.50) - [Filson Tote – $131.25]( ($175) - [Filson Original Briefcase in Black – $243.75]( ($325) - [Allen Edmonds Liverpool Suede Chelsea Boots – $371.25]( ($495) - [Red Wing Weekender Chukkas – $172.49]( ($229.99) Looks like the exclusions are the same as they usually are: Just Birkenstock, Viberg, Woolrich, Zespa. So that means Filson and Allen Edmonds are a go? Same for their THREE HUNDRED DOLLAR cashmere hoodie? I know. I know. Silly. Still, wanted to include it just for kicks. [Gustin: Made in the USA Moleskin Field Jackets – $159]( [Gustin]( Gustin’s Made in the USA field jackets are back, only this time they’re cranking them out in a super soft, velvety (but not shiny) moleskin cotton fabric. Since it’s Gustin, it’s pre-order, and these things don’t ship until June. Which… kinda stinks because by June, it’s gonna be way too damn hot (for most of us) to wear one of these. Maybe an early fall present to oneself? Available in Navy, Olive, and Black. [BONUS: Jomers American Milled 5-Pockets – $38]( [Jomers]( These are NOT [the Flint & Tinder 365 pants](. They’re $60 less, 100% cotton (no 3% stretch here), and while the fabric is made in the USA, they’re made in the ambiguous land of “imported.” Just a slim fit here. No straight. So no, they aren’t the F&T, but they’re a lot less. And a lot of guys really like Jomers. Launched yesterday but they goofed and sent out the pricing as $58 in the original communications. Not so. They’re $38. Shipping is free, but you’re on the hook for returns. Also worth a mention: - [J. Crew Factory]( 50% off most new arrivals for spring ([including this super 1998 Dad ensemble](. - [H&M]( Up to 60% off [during their Spring Sale](. - [Huckberry]( Flint and Tinder [Mill jackets are still 25% off](. ff/Dappered?a=vK4_l5LxkME:fvzWFgjjlrI:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=vK4_l5LxkME:fvzWFgjjlrI:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=vK4_l5LxkME:fvzWFgjjlrI:gIN9vFwOqvQ [Best of Threads: Warm Weather Suits, Suede Chukka Favorites, and when Style meets Lifestyle](r/Dappered/~3/4zZ-9E-p7zo/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email) Posted: 27 Mar 2019 02:00 PM PDT Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission.

[Get started here.]( [What’s Dappered Threads?]( It’s our forum. Launched in 2011, Threads is a not too big, not too small, just-right-sized forum that doesn’t put up with snobbery. All thanks to the users and hardworking mods. Once a month, one of the users/mods from Threads provides us with a highlight package of the last few weeks. [Linen Suits]( [threads.dappered.com]( User CK83 is looking for guidance on whether or not he should invest in a linen suit. He likes the cool, laid back look, but isn’t sure he’d actually wear the thing. Fellow threads users were forthcoming with their opinions on whether or not a linen suit is worth it, and made suggestions of their own. [evanparker]( called it a one trick pony and recommended against it. [hornsup84]( said between his summer suit options he owns (tropical wool, linen, and seersucker), the tropical wool gets used the most in the workplace, but he will occasionally wear the linen. [hockeysc23]( admitted his JCF linen suit doesn’t see a lot of use, although the jacket came in handy on a summer vacation. Multiple users recommended linen blend over straight linen, and mentioned that lining matters more than the linen. [Filson Alternates]( [Filson]( weystyle needs a new briefcase, after the hardware on his Cole Haan bag failed him less than 2 years in. He’s looking for something like a Filson, but he’s a smaller guy, and feels like the Filson is a bit too big for him. Of course some great recommendations came in quickly from other Threads users. [thedrake]( immediately suggested [The Clipper from Tusting](. [neminat]( sang the praises of the [Cobbler Union briefcase](. User [gochrisgo]( is pining after a [Linjer soft briefcase]( thus had to recommend it. To see all the recommendations made, [check out the thread](! [Suggest me a Suede Chukka]( [Threads.dappered.com]( What to do when the tread on your go-to suede chukkas has worn down to the point that you know the end is near? You ask your fellow threads users to make some suggestions, and that’s exactly what LesserBlackDog did. His beloved 1901 Barret Chukka’s are just about done, which garnered sympathy from other Threads users that also love their 1901 chukkas. [JayS]( mentioned he was consider the [Thursday Boot Co. Scout]( which [smitty]( replied to saying that he had 3 pairs that he loves. [caktaylor]( recommended a [Cole Haan option from Amazon](, but not at their current listed price. [mebejoseph]( suggested the [Jack Erwin James chukka]( while [Banks]( took things to the pricier end of the spectrum with [Carmina](. And most guys agreed, Nordstrom needs to bring back the 1901 Barret. [Style vs. Lifestyle]( [threads.dappered.com]( How do you inject your lifestyle into your style, or do you mostly follow the “dappered uniform”? This question was posed by Boatshoes&bowties. He’s found that as his habits and lifestyle has changed, he no longer snubs what he may once have in times past, like athleisure and outdoor-wear. This led to a discussion among several readers about different styles for different situations, and how it’s pretty normal to sport different style for different occasions. And Boatshoes&bowties, you’re not alone. The very editor of this site (hi Joe!) utilizes athleisure on gym days, and may or may not have purchased a pair of joggers recently. The. Horror. [Beard Trimmer Recommendations]( [threads.dappered.com]( A man that likes to keep his beard trimmed, aps2012 came to threads looking for recommendations for a trimmer. He’s been using a Phillips Norelco but hasn’t been completely satisfied with it. [Galcobar]( mentioned the rave reviews he’s been seeing on the [Phillips OneBlade]( trimmer, although he has no personal experience with it, but [ianr]( backed him up, because he does use it. [Ninjarex1]( a barber by trade, stepped in with his own recommendations (the [Wahl Peanut]( and [Wahl Shaver](), along with advice on cleaning and maintaining an electric trimmer. Looking for some advice, direction, or just to connect with some cool guys? Perhaps you know the best darn chukka there is to be had. If so, then [Head on over to Threads]( and take a spin around. ff/Dappered?a=4zZ-9E-p7zo:xQVfo_8JYpM:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=4zZ-9E-p7zo:xQVfo_8JYpM:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=4zZ-9E-p7zo:xQVfo_8JYpM:gIN9vFwOqvQ [Practical Jokes Suck. So does April Fools’ Day. Here’s why.](r/Dappered/~3/95otXjHfhCo/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email) Posted: 27 Mar 2019 08:00 AM PDT Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. [Here’s why.]( And here’s one: You know that confident feeling you get when wearing your favorite suit? Imagine feeling that way about your finances. [Personal Capital]( tracks your net worth and spending for free, so you know where your savings stand and how your investments are performing. [Get started here.]( Practical jokes suck. They’re almost always perpetrated by the least funny, least clever, and most insecure of us, while those on the other side have to gracefully not respond, in-kind, or fall victim to the time vampires that are people who get off on violating reasonable senses of “trust” in the name of a selfish, one-sided laugh. Funny requires surprise. Laughter is our biological way of mitigating said surprise. We show our teeth (smile) and make noise (laughter) as part of our body’s bio-chemical reaction to the unexpected. Ha-ha! I didn’t see that coming. But here I am, ready to gnaw your face off if this surprise escalates into danger! It’s evolution, [baby.]( And thus, comedy is really not that different than the horror genre. That’s why after the audience screams at a horror film, (surprise!) you often hear giggles. But practical jokes short circuit the whole damn thing. The “funny” is not dependent on the creator. Instead, it’s dependent on: - A member of the audience being unaware that they’re part of a performance - The reaction (surprise, shock, confusion) of said member The joke doesn’t make the reaction. The reaction MAKES the joke. A good joke has to be smart enough that the audience knows humor is being unspooled in front of them, yet a moment of surprise is still achieved. That’s hard. Real hard. The audience is in on it, and thus, if you have to explain the punch-line/create an obvious reveal (APRIL FOOLS!) the joke doesn’t work. Practical jokes, such as April Fools’ Day jokes, require obvious reveals, and replace that social contract with a violation of trust. Yes I know that analysis sounds harsh, overly-serious, draconian, etc. But it’s true. Practical jokes are “The Boy who Cried Wolf.” And we all know how that ended. One of the reasons why Dappered works is trust. If we were to just recommend crap to make a buck, you guys would stop reading. So we don’t. We do our damndest to stay independent and to tell the truth. So while marketing departments of some seriously big brands are gonna send out emails & social media posts on Monday (April 1st) shilling invisible jeans, or shirts with no torsos (just sleeves!) or a new watch which looks suspiciously like a wearable sun dial… To me? It all just seems like a big waste of time. And not that funny. Some of it is funny. Quite funny even. But not that funny. I think on April First we’ll just keep to our regular schedule if that’s okay with the lot of you. P.S.: If you think this post is a bunch of sour-puss no-fun nonsense? By definition, you’re almost certainly not as funny as you think you are. You’re welcome.
