[Here’s why.]( 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. [Suitsupply: Are they starting to introduce some lower prices?]( [Suitsupply]( - [Napoli Fit Italian Wool Blue Houndstooth Suit – $359]( - [Havana Fit Light Brown Stripe Linen Sportcoat – $379]( - [Napoli Fit Italian Wool Dark Grey Houndstooth Suit – $359]( - [Havana Fit Mint Green Cotton Sportcoat – $259]( - [Napoli Fit Italian Wool Mid Grey Stripe Suit – $359]( I’m not saying Suitsupply is lowering prices on already existing items on their site (they only do two online outlet events per year). That’s not happening. What I AM saying, is that I feel like they’ve introduced more than a handful of new products at lower-than-expected prices as of late. Suits used to start at $399 right? Now there’s more than a few at $359. Jackets used to start at $399 too, right? Nope. $259 and $379 has been spotted. Maybe this is just due to market forces for this one particular season, but, worth keeping an eye on. And no, I have no inside information here. Just something I noticed. [DROP: Glycine “The Chief” GMT Automatic Watch – $585]( FINAL [Glycine "The Chief" GMT Automatic Watch]( Vintage-y design goodness right here. GMT watches (meaning there’s a 4th hand that can tell you the time in a 2nd time zone at a quick glance) with some killer fonts on the dial. Do note that they’re offering these three also in a “purist” model, which ditches that GMT hand and has a 24 hour dial instead of the usual 12 hour dial we’re all used to. Not cheap, but a pretty unique looking piece that should appeal to more than a couple. 40mm case diameter. 22mm lugs. Acrylic crystal and basically no real water resistance (10 m!) so they’re really going for that vintage thing. 2-year manufacturer’s warranty. Ships July 10th. [J. Crew: 50% off Select “Getaway” Styles w/ GETAWAY]( [J. Crew]( - [Slim long-sleeve shirt in neppy chambray – $34.75]( ($69.50) - [Baird McNutt Irish linen shirt – $44.75]( ($89.50) - [Lightweight garment-dyed stretch chino in slim]( or [straight fit – $34]( ($68) - [Elastic woven belt in stripe – $19.75]( ($39.50) It’s a limited amount of styles, but half off is more than the normal 30% – 40% off they offer on full price, in-season stuff. But there are some J. Crew favorites in there, like their lightweight chinos in 484 or 770 fits. And those new woven belts could add a nice dash of color without getting nuts. [Gustin: Their Made in Italy White Sneakers are Back – $169]( [Gustin]( Estimated shipping isn’t till friggin’ NOVEMBER. Whoa. That changes things. But… Italian Nappa leather, made in Italy, Margom soles, and available in all white, white with a green heel accent, or white with a blue heel accent (for ten bucks less). No goofy gold stamped branding either. Clean and mean. But, November? [Spier & Mackay: New Shoes in the Works????]( [Spier & Mackay]( Spier and Mackay has been quite busy posting some super tempting pics of their next run of shoes. From the comments on Instagram, it looks like these’ll still be made in Portugal, and should be released in either September or October? Asking price will be around $230? Maybe? Things change of course. That’s a long way off. [Still, their first run of shoes was really, really nice](. [“BONUS” Bonobos: ECLIPSE20 is dead. New full-time offer: 15% off w/ SOLSTICE15]( [Bonobos]( - [Stretch Lightweight Chinos – $66.30]( ($78) - [Lightweight Travel Jeans – $74.80]( ($88) - [Lightweight Weekday Warrior Dress Pants – $74.80]( ($88) Got word from the Bonobos people that they’re gonna trash the ECLIPSE20 full-time 20% off code in favor of… a 15% off code, ECLIPSE15. If you’re a brand-new customer, you can still get 20% off with GETSTARTED20. And of course they’ll run other promos from time to time, but, 20% off is dead. 15% off is now the new deal. Damn. Worst. “Bonus.” Ever. Well, [second worst](. Also worth a mention: - [Huckberry]( Their new summer catalog is hitting mailboxes (some of us like flipping through paper catalogs still, and Huckberry’s is easily one of the best). [You can shop the thing online here](. - [Orient](: Extra 15% off + free shipping sitewide with code THANKSDAD - [Massimo Dutti]( They don’t run many sales, but their mid-year sale is now underway. - [Allen Edmonds](: Up to $150 off Shoes / 40% off Bags [during their Father’s Day Sale](. - [Banana Republic](//bananarepublic.gap.com/): [Extra 40% off sale styles](//bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=1014757&tid=brem005689&mi_u=75185214&EV=BRUSMCARD06062019&DI=75185214&CD=BRLUX_BAC&cvosrc=email.exacttarget.BRUSMCARD06062019&mi_version=BRUSM&mi_locale=English&mi_card=BRLUX). ff/Dappered?a=npQ7gN9IKoM:-mPFrUZ0_FQ:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=npQ7gN9IKoM:-mPFrUZ0_FQ:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=npQ7gN9IKoM:-mPFrUZ0_FQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ [The Podcast Playlist – June 2019](r/Dappered/~3/WYuSIUGqbpU/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email) Posted: 12 Jun 2019 02:00 PM PDT Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. [Here’s why.]( As much as this website [encourages]( people to [disconnect](, podcasts are one of those things that are an exception to that rule. They’re incredible. And they can make the mundane ([doing laundry](, riding the bus, [ironing]( or [shining shoes]() nothing short of extraordinary. Each month our resident podcast connoisseur, [Dave I.](, finds three podcasts worth your time and ears. [The Art of Manliness]( [The Art of Manliness]( As stated by host Brett McKay, The Art of Manliness podcast (derived from the website of the [same name]() is a podcast that aims to help men become better men. Through interviews with authors, television personalities, philosophers and creative minds, each episode imparts some wisdom on living a more fulfilling life. With over 500+ episodes, and counting, The Art of Manliness podcast has definitely found a niche for listeners. Looking to up your fitness game? Episode #504 focuses on how an Olympic marathon runner trains. Philosophy more your thing? Give episode #496 a listen, dealing with Plato’s Republic. Or maybe you’re more of a Bruce Lee fan? If that’s the case, episode #428 is for you. Whatever the topic, Brett interviews his guests with patience and probing questions in an informative and friendly manner. Think more fireside chat and less 20/20. [Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History]( [Dan Carlin's Hardcore History]( If history is something that’s been of interest to you, but thoughts of learning history take you back to grade 10 and memorizing dates and places, then fear not. Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History is not straight up academic history. Instead podcast host Dan Carlin infuses excitement in the telling of historical fact by interspersing it with drama, excellent narration, and plot twists that keep the listener interested. New to the podcast? Check out the three part series King of Kings, episodes 56 through 58. Unfortunately, not all of the episodes are freely available for download. As of writing, only episodes from 50 – Blueprint for Armageddon – and forward are available. Earlier episodes can be downloaded from the website for a small fee. [Stuff You Should Know]( [Stuff You Should Know]( Are you the type of person who is curious about history, pop culture, and has a love of trivia and facts? And do you like to learn in a fun and informative way? If so, then Stuff You Should Know is the podcast for you. Each week podcast hosts Josh Clark and Charles W. “Chuck” Bryant delve in to a wide range of topics, with shows running in time anywhere from 13 minutes to an hour. Episodes are rarely chronological so you can pick and choose topics that fit your interest and free time. New to the show? Why not ease in with an episode from November 14, 2018 focusing on where lemonade came from. Or perhaps law and order is more your thing, in which case an episode from September 4, 2018 titled “How Police Lineups Work” will be of interest. With over 1,000 episodes available for free, the chances are good there is one that will be of interest to you. About the author: [Dave I.]( has been a Dappered reader for several years.

[Here’s why.]( FREEDOM! As the summer months roll on in, warm weather continues to spread throughout the country. Soon enough, parties by the pool and beach trips will be on the agenda, and you need to have a plan. There is a LOT of variety and flexibility in a smart or business casual wardrobe, but aquatic situations are another story. Creative freedom should be cultivated and encouraged, but within the bounds of reasonable parameters. Choose the right pair of swim shorts, and you’ll be a stylistic cut above the average Joe. Choose the wrong pair, and it will look like you’re headed to a reality TV pool party in the mid 2000’s. The absolute number one thing to consider when choosing swimwear: LENGTH A simple rule for deciding what length to choose- aim for 2” short of the length of your casual shorts. The shorter your shorts, the taller you’ll look, and when you’re shirtless on the sand, you want the only thing you’re wearing to accentuate your features rather than drown them out. Additionally, look for a straight or even tapered leg. The last thing you want is your short bottoms billowing out. Baggy bottoms do no favor for your physique, and are extremely uncomfortable. All picks below have mesh liners in order to keep your dongle from whippin’ and dippin’ like a piece of rogue corrugated aluminum in a hurricane. So, what to wear when you’re getting wet? [When you need a do-it-all active short: Patagonia 5” Baggies in Spiced Coral – $55]() These are my #1 choice and my personal go-to for swimwear. A true do-everything short. These work just as well on the beach as they do walking through a stream on a hike, and I even wear mine at the gym. Extremely durable and fast-drying, the situational flexibility these provide make them an essential item for anyone venturing outdoors this summer. I like the spiced coral, better known as “red,” for their classic lifeguard look. Note: There ARE [some sizes on sale via Backcountry](. Big thanks to Brandon D. for the tip! [When you want to make a splash: Chubbies 5.5″ Aquatic Libations – $65]( [Chubbies 5.5" Aquatic Libations]( The absolute opposite of the Patagonia pair mentioned above. I had to fight with Joe to include this one (not really), as they’re not very “dappered.” But, lets add some context here. You’re wearing a pair of swim shorts. It is very likely you’re shirtless, in a tank top, or a t-shirt with a drink in hand at a poolside barbeque or laying on the beach. This is the very definition of relaxation and letting loose (for some), so it’s acceptable for your attire to match. They key here with a big print is to lean into nostalgia and campy-ness. These brash 90’s shorts certainly excel. Not to mention, the quality of the short is exceptional. Huge amounts of stretch, and quick to dry. I own this exact pair (as shown at the top of the post, that’s a size medium on 5’7″ / 175 lbs) and adore them. [When the night may call for anything: J.Crew 7” Pool Short – $34.75]( w/ GETAWAY ($69.50) [J.Crew 7” Pool Short]( These have huge potential. Button closure and traditional fly, with almost-chino-short looks, makes these the pick of the season for quick transitions between getting wet at the pool and getting wet at the hotel bar. When dry, the crowd you’re with would be hard-pressed to know these are swim shorts. J.Crew claims these are made in a “quick-drying nylon,” and I have not the slightest clue if these actually dry quickly, but if you have experience, let us know. If they do, these are a real winner. [For some subtle flair: Land’s End 6” Shell Print Trunk – $19.97](//www.landsend.com/products/mens-6-print-volley-swim-trunks/id_332273?sku_0=::KXL) w/ TROPICAL & 6489 ($39.95) [Land’s End 6” Shell Print Trunk](//www.landsend.com/products/mens-6-print-volley-swim-trunks/id_332273?sku_0=::KXL) Great shade of green on these in an attractive all-over shell print. I own a pair of Land’s End trunks in this length, albeit in a solid color, and they’re a great option at a lower price than others on this list. Beware, they offer little to no stretch, so they’re less comfortable than options with some stretch if you plan to be more active. I also found they dry a little slower than my pairs from Patagonia and Chubbies. Best use for these are by the pool, when you might have time to change before the rest of the evening’s festivities kickoff. [The retro pick: Original Penguin The Earl Fixed Swim Trunk- $69]( Expensive, but well reviewed and style that won’t ever quit. Navy with white stripe is as classic as it gets (along with solid red) for swim shorts. A fixed waist, so less stretch and might be odd to fit if you’re between sizes, but you can cinch it down a bit with the draw strings. If you’re looking for a retro pair and get the fit right, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better looking option. [The All American Special: Flint & Tinder Breaker Trunks – $68]( [Flint & Tinder Breaker Trunks]( If you love Flint & Tinder and are looking for a basic Made in the USA pair with all-day functionality, this is it. Adding spandex to this pair gives some much appreciated stretch when you’re on the move by the pool, on the boardwalk, or grabbing a bite to eat after some sun in the sand. A drawstring and stretch waistband provides a customized, secure fit. These, especially in Navy or the Jungle Green shown above, could pass for climbing, or even gym shorts. Also available in a bright, Baywatch red. 7.5” inseam, so they’re right on the edge of as long as most should go.
