[Dappered | 10 Best Bets for $75 or Less – Chore Jackets, Sunglasses, USA Made Tees, & More]() --------------------------------------------------------------- [10 Best Bets for $75 or Less – Chore Jackets, Sunglasses, USA Made Tees, & More](r/Dappered/~3/iHhSkXQQ76c/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email) Posted: 04 Jun 2019 03:00 AM PDT Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. [Here’s why.]( Seventy Five bucks. That’s a lot of money. It’ll get you [a couple pairs of Levi’s](, a [decent casual dinner out](, or a couple months at your local gym. Ten picks follow, all for $75 or under, with some of them much, much less. Expect these round-ups on a monthly basis. Got a tip on something for under $75? Send those in to [joe@dappered.com](mailto:joe@dappered.com?subject=under 75). [Allen Edmonds Cedar Shoe Valet – $55]( ($70) [Allen Edmonds Cedar Shoe Valet]( Part of their big Father’s Day sale. Hook latch closure, rubber foot pads to keep the thing from sliding around (a major bonus when you plant a foot on the top rest and get to work) and made in the USA. Not bad for fifty five bucks. [Target Goodfellow & Co Lightweight Chore Jacket – $34.99]( [Target Goodfellow & Co Lightweight Chore Jacket]( A nice, cheaper alternative to the very popular J. Crew Wallace and Barnes chore jacket. Nice, 4-season gray shade here. Should look great with dark denim in the fall, but also should do well with lighter colored pants (as shown above) in the near term. 99% cotton / 1% spandex. [“Star Trek: Picard” CBS All Access – $5.99 per month](_Picard) I’m not ashamed to say that the fictional character Captain Jean-Luc Picard was a role model for me growing up. It might seem a little sad to you, but this character played by Sir Patrick Stewart taught me a lot about smarts and guts and morals and [the art of the face palm](. And screw the whingeing Trekkers out there who complain about EVERYTHING. I will watch hours of Captain Picard weed-wack his friggin’ winery’s fence line, as long as he throws a little philosophy in there every once in a while. Wait, how much is their streaming service?? Geeze. Well, I’ll give it a try once it comes out. No release date is set yet. [Gustin Made in the USA T-Shirt 3 Pack – $38]() [Gustin Made in the USA T-Shirt 3 Pack]() I mean, thirteen bucks for a t-shirt is already a solid deal. But when it’s made in the USA from soft, 5 oz. tri blend fabric? That’s saying something else. Of course Gustin is a pre-order model, so, you won’t get these until July/August, but they’re something to look forward to. Really solid value here. Love Gustin knits. [J. Crew Factory Matte Sunglasses – $15ish]( [J. Crew Factory Matte Sunglasses]( Sometimes you just need a really cheap pair of shades. (Like when you’ve blown all your cash on USA made short sleeve henleys, amiright?) Super inexpensive. Something to throw in the cart to trip a free shipping threshold. And they look a little more sophisticated than convenience store, twirly-rack sunglasses. [Amazon Goodthreads Sueded Jersey Polo – $20]( [Amazon Goodthreads Sueded Jersey Polo]( Looks like Goodthreads is going after the Express Signature Polo here. That chambray placket is pretty tell-tale. But these are all cotton. Not a cotton/spandex blend like the Express option. But some may prefer that. Just twenty bucks and ships super fast since you have to have Prime to buy em’. Lots of colors to pick from. [Huckberry “Camp” Candle – $13.98]( ($32.99) [Huckberry "Camp" Candle]( Because sometimes, your place stinks. Scents of whiskey, spicy citrus, bay laurel, and disconnected wifi. Sold. Mrs. Dappered approved too! She likes the way it smells. And she’s got a nose for that kind of thing. Makes me wonder how we ended up together. [TheTieBar Blue Heathered Chambray Dobby Dress Shirt – $55](//www.thetiebar.com/product/SHR-4796-0009) [TheTieBar Blue Heathered Chambray Dobby Dress Shirt](//www.thetiebar.com/product/SHR-4796-0009) A great year round shirt that excels in the warm weather. Dots are different, but being that it’s a light blue and white, woven in combination, it’s not as loud as something higher contrast. Perfect for those of us who like to stand out quietly. Also would look great under tweed with dark denim once it cools off, but will look terrific with all kinds of spring and summer stuff now. [CG ProPrints Your Pic(s) to Canvas – $9.99 – $99.99]( [Dappered.com]( I know there are a lot of these pics-to-canvas services out there right now, but this is the one [I’ve leaned on]( for [years and years](. And I’ve never been disappointed. The canvases are sturdy, they ship pretty quick, and the shots I’ve had put to canvas haven’t warped, bent, peeled, or any of that nonsense after years of hanging. The above image is of our gray cat, Pierre, sitting on a ledge next to [a picture I had put to canvas of him sitting on the same ledge](. I’d have this same image put to canvas and placed NEXT to the original Pierre on the Ledge pic, but, I’m afraid “catception” could rupture the space time continuum. [BR Core Temp Shorts 9″ – $41.70](//bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=266619132&cid=1132143&pcid=13846) when 40% off ($69.50) [BR Core Temp Shorts 9"](//bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=266619132&cid=1132143&pcid=13846) Banana Republic’s core temp fabric has been nothing short of a game-changer for many of us. So the fact that they’re making shorts outta that stuff now is super appreciated. Slim fit. 9″ inseam should be just right for most. LOTS of colors to pick from, but checkout the shades above in ocean blue, misty green, ice blue, and Sonoma wine. Those are not your pop’s sensible khaki short-pants. And that’s the point.

[Here’s why.]( [Norstrom Half Yearly-Sale is OVER! Or is it?]( I know, I know. Lots of Nordstrom coverage lately. And we even have a round up of 1901 and Nordstrom Men’s Shop goods coming later this week (some of it on sale, some of it not). But the thing about Nordstrom is… they’re great. And even if something is heavily discounted, it still ships and returns for free. Gotta say I’m surprised here. Yes, Nordstrom usually further reduces some of their merchandise after a big sale. But I wasn’t expecting this many items to get this deep of extra discounts? Maybe consumer confidence is wobbling a bit? ([Edit: NOPE, I know nothing](.) Anyway, here’s the best of what’s left and still available in decent size selections at post time, now that the Half-Yearly is “over.” Slashed-through prices are what the item was going for during the sale. Also, there’s some “new” picks in here. Those don’t have slash through prices simply because I missed them during the sale and don’t recall what they were going for then. Off we go. [Monte Rosso Made in Italy Lazio Cap-Toe Oxford – $187.49]( $249.90 ($375) [Monte Rosso Made in Italy Lazio Cap-Toe Oxford]( Sleek, Italian made oxfords. You can have them in any color you want, as long as it’s black. Word is they run large and you’ll want to order the next size down? [Bonobos Jetsetter Slim Fit Stretch Wool Blazer – $224.98]( $301.49 ($450) [Bonobos Jetsetter Slim Fit Stretch Wool Blazer]( Much better in terms of the price. Just quarter lined in the back. 97% wool and 3% spandex. Hits a lot of right notes for the warmer weather ahead. [Nordstrom “Shane” Bucks – $62.47]( $83.71 ($124.95) [Nordstrom "Shane" Bucks]( That “taupe suede” option would look pretty dynamite with the blue windowpane Bonobos blazer. From their main men’s house line. Bucks but not super preppy thanks to the muted shades. Plus, these look to be a little sleeker through the toe, and not so bulbous like traditional bucks? [Nordstrom Signature 58% Cashmere, 42% Linen Sweater – $71.60]( $89.49 ($179) [Nordstrom]( Now an extra $18 off. From one of their high end lines. Not cheap, but it could be the perfect spring/summer sweater. And yes, there is such a thing as a spring/summer sweater. Huge thanks to Sean H. for sending in the tip, who said: I’ve seen this in person and it is fantastic- never pulled the trigger (despite every fiber in being wanting to) because of the high price tag but it’s now included in the sale so I was able to order one. [Made in Italy Nordstrom Signature Trim Fit Houndstooth Wool Sport Coat – $269.55]( ($599) [Nordstrom]( Somehow missed this the first go-round. Made in Italy from Vitale Barberis wool. Totally unlined in the back. Trim fit. LOTS of potential here. More than half off too. [Bonobos Jetsetter Slim Fit Stretch Wool Blazer – $249.98]( $334.98 ($500) [Bonobos Jetsetter Slim Fit Stretch Wool Blazer]( Now an extra $85 off from the previous sale price. Bonobos knows what they’re doing when it comes to sportcoats. 97% wool and 3% spandex. Would look dynamite with lightweight chinos for the heat ahead, and could also pull some serious [social studies teacher duty with jeans in the fall](. [Nordstrom Trim Fit Non-Iron Dress Shirt – $29.98]( $32.90 ($49.50) [Nordstrom Trim Fit Non-Iron Dress Shirt]( A basic, but a well executed basic in a trim fit that’s always appreciated extra-amounts when it goes on sale. [Shoe the Bear Linden Sneaker – $72.49]( $97.15 ($145) [Nordstrom]( I need another pair of sneakers like a need another hole in my head. And I am not in any rush to add another hole to my head. Man… that white and gum and gray looks perfect. Sizes are starting to get a little scattered depending on the color. Full review coming, but, I’m guessing they’ll be plumb sold out by then. [Levis x Justin Timberlake Colorblock Trucker – $73.98]( $88.80 ($148) [Levis x Justin Timberlake Colorblock Trucker]( Too hip for some. Not super expensive, pretty fun, on-trend piece for others. Man of the woods and all that. [Nordstrom Men’s Shop Roger Monk Strap Derby – $62.47]( ($124.95) Not sure what these were going for during the sale, but I think they were closer to $80? Two of the less popular colors. Full review of [the rich medium brown color]( (not on sale) coming soon. [Smartwool Burgee Geometric Socks – $10.47]( $12.57 ($20.95) Down to the burgundy and blue options. Grey is sold out. Wool is so much better than cotton, in so many ways. And Smartwool makes a REALLY nice sock. Or, socks. Got ’em. Love ’em. Great for year round use, especially spring and summer. [Made in Italy Rodd & Gunn Wool/Linen Sport Coat – $198.98]( $238.80 ($398) [Made in Italy Rodd & Gunn Wool/Linen Sport Coat]( Italian made, a seasonally appropriate shade, and a 52% wool / 48% linen blend. [Cole Haan Harrison Grand Cap Toe Oxford – $109.58]( $139.90 ($220) [Cole Haan Harrison Grand Cap Toe Oxford]( Are they Allen Edmonds? No! Are they worth a shot if you don’t have AE money, you need a conservative dress shoe that’ll also be comfortable, and you’re not willing to commit to a pair of shoes for life? Of course. [Bonobos Jetsetter Slim Fit Knit Cotton Sport Coat – $174.98]( $234.49 ($350) [Bonobos Jetsetter Slim Fit Knit Cotton Sport Coat]( Another knit sportcoat, this time from Bonobos in a “Brown melange knit.” 100% cotton here. [Cole Haan Original Grand Wingtip – $74.98]( ($150) Not for me Clive, but maybe you’re hip enough to pull off the Sneaker/Wingtip hybrid? Plenty are. The contrast welt and sole are pretty slick looking. I’ll absolutely give them that. [1901 Embroidered Anchor Stripe Socks – $6.25]( ($12.50) Cotton, and we’re pro wool here, but man they ain’t expensive, that’s for sure. Plus they ship for free! [Nordstrom Vincent Plain Toe Derby – $62.47]( $83.71 ($124.95) [Nordstrom Vincent Plain Toe Derby]( More than an extra twenty bucks off from the previous sale price. Simple suede bluchers in a dress shoe silhouette. Think less clunk than your standard suede buck. [Tumi Alpha Bravo – Charleston Briefcase – $319.98]( ($400) So not the heaviest discount, but getting Tumi at any kind of discount isn’t always the easiest. Black or blue here. [1901 Extra Trim Fit Chambray Sport Coat – $99.90]( ($168) Another new addition to these sale picks. I mean, it’s a red (okay, pink) red chambray sportcoat. So, kinda limited in terms of its use here. At this point, I think these goods and prices are just about set until they can dump the stuff. And if they can’t? Look for it to drift into a Nordstrom Rack or [onto the Nordstrom Rack site]( in, say, about a month. But that’s just speculation. ff/Dappered?a=jFV3MW7OnSA:5dEVT9KjOow:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=jFV3MW7OnSA:5dEVT9KjOow:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=jFV3MW7OnSA:5dEVT9KjOow:gIN9vFwOqvQ You are subscribed to email updates from [Dappered Style Mail]().
