Also, we take your privacy rights seriously. Head [here]( to learn more. Sales that deserve some attention heading into the weekend or a bit earlier. Five of the better sales are below, plus bonus sales if need be. Included are a few picks worth pointing out. [Spier & Mackay: 20% off all suits (Core line now $262.40, was $328)]( [Spier and Mackay]( - [Half-Canvas Navy Merino Wool Suit – $262.40]( ($328) - [Half-Canvas Medium Gray Merino Wool Suit – $262.40]( ($328) - [Half-Canvas Charcoal Merino Wool Suit – $262.40]( ($328) Spier’s core-line of suits are, frankly, the best value in men’s suits out there. Half canvas, nice wools, easy to tailor non-functioning sleeve cuff buttons, and two fits (slim, and a more athletic contemporary). And now, they’re going for just north of $260. Wild. Discount applies to more than just the core stuff of course. Deal expires today, 3/26. [Glycine 42mm Combat Sub Swiss Auto. Bronze Watch – $389]( FINAL [Glycine 42mm Combat Sub Swiss Auto. Bronze Watch]( Oh my. Just when you thought the bronze “thing” has sorta come and gone in the watch world, DROP throws a relatively affordable, Swiss automatic out there. Final sale of course. Will age and patina in a way unique to the wearers wearing habits. Which is precisely why guys are digging the bronze thing. That and the warmth of the metal, without the cheese that (sometimes) comes with gold or gold tone, is welcome. [J. Crew: 40% off Select w/ SHOPNOW]( [J. Crew]( - [Ludlow Slim-fit unstructured suit jacket in cotton-linen – $100.80]( ($168) - [Lightweight Secret Wash shirt with COOLMAX technology in gingham – $38.70]( ($64.50) - [Lightweight Secret Wash shirt with COOLMAX technology – $38.70]( ($64.50) Seems to apply to some of their sale section as well, but it’s the new spring arrivals that might catch more than a few eyes. Especially the return of their totally unstructured [cotton/linen jackets](. Shown above in the well loved “deep water” shade. [Bonobos: 25% off sitewide w/ BNBS25]( [Bonobos]( - [Unconstructed Italian Wool Hopsack Blazer – $300]( ($400) - [Italian Cotton Knit Blazer – $223.50]( ($298) - [Stretch Lightweight Chinos – $73.50]( ($98) Still running. Their unconstructed sportcoats might be a perfect WFH investment. Lightweight, airy, hopsack Italian wool is perfect for year-round-wear. Slip it over a t-shirt or a polo and your mental space gets an immediate boost. Yet they also look great over an OCBD or dress shirt for video-conferencing/out and about when out and about becomes a thing again. Also, with the weather starting to warm, their lightweight chinos are worth a nod. If memory serves, they don’t usually get any kind of cut this early. [Jomers: Their 100% cotton White Oak Cone Jeans are back for $34]( [Jomers: Their 100% cotton White Oak Cone Jeans are back]( All inseams are 34″, so, most will have to cuff or hem when they can. Fabric was milled in the USA but they’re cut and sewn in Egypt. Ships free. [Banana Republic: 52% off no BR Merch Exclusions]( Mr. Telephone man. There’s something wrong with my line. When I dial my baby’s number. I get a click every time. – [New Edition]( Full picks here, [if you want ’em](. Also worth a mention: - [Huckberry]( Their [clearance section]( (aka the WFH sale) is still stacked. - [EXPRESS](//www.express.com/): 40% off Everything - [Need Supply Co]( 25% off just about site wide. - [Brooks Brothers](//www.brooksbrothers.com/): 25% off just about everything. Full price as well as [sale & clearance](//www.brooksbrothers.com/sale/mens/Mens_sale_category,default,sc.html) - [Christopher Ward](: 15% off all Tridents w/ TRIDENT15 - [Zappos](//www.zappos.com/men/wAEC4AEB4gICGBw.zso?s=recentSalesStyle/desc/): They’re running a “[make your day a little better](//www.zappos.com/men/wAEC4AEB4gICGBw.zso?s=recentSalesStyle/desc/)” sale, but on the men’s side there are 27,000 products and the first thing I saw when I dropped by were… Crocs, so, yeah. Good luck to you. - [J. Crew Factory](: Their navy Voyager Wool Thompson suit separates [are down to $80 for the jacket]( and [$50 for the pants](. I’d [still go Spier and Mackay myself]( but, $130 is awfully cheap. It won’t look feel or wear like the Spier though. - [Massdrop](: Their [10 oz Japanese stretch selvage jeans collab w/ Naked & Famous]( is/are back for $99. ff/Dappered?a=m5aHQHjtxQU:R3hclq6JdoY:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=m5aHQHjtxQU:R3hclq6JdoY:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=m5aHQHjtxQU:R3hclq6JdoY:gIN9vFwOqvQ [In Review: The Hill City Everyday Tech Pant in Athletic Slim Fit](r/Dappered/~3/hXnDux4Nvvc/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email) Posted: 25 Mar 2020 02:00 PM PDT Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission.

[Hill City Tech Pant in Athletic Slim Fit – $83.80]( w/ HCSAVE15 ($98) Have you ever been really excited for something only to be really disappointed in the end? If you’re like me and were a [Knicks fan in the 90s]( you’ll get the idea of how I felt both waiting for these pants and when I actually tried them on. Hill City [specifically makes athletic wear]( for the Gap, Inc. galaxy of brands, so “tech pants” sound exactly like what they should be good at. But if you thought these would be a worthy addition to the tech pants family, you would be [wrong](. Here we go with a review of tech pants that, like the rest, just don’t live up to [Banana Republic’s original Core Temp Chinos]( (which at present [are now 52% off and down to $47](, thanks to a stacking 40% off + extra 20% off deal at BR.) [Hill City Tech Pant in Athletic Slim Fit]( The not terribly unexpected 4-color range of Hill City’s tech pant. The Hill City Everyday Tech Pant in Athletic Slim Fit is made from 51% cotton, 44% nylon, and 5% spandex. They’re advertised as an Athletic Slim Fit, which is literally the one thing many of us want Banana to offer in their Core Temp chino. They come in all of the basic and conservative colors that I’d want for work. They offer just as much stretch as the rest of the bunch. They have a [neat liner]( at the waist that looks like it would help keep your dress shirt tucked in. They even have a [hidden pocket that zips up]( and would be great and secure storage for keys. And, that’s the end of what I can say that’s positive about these pants. [In Review: The Hill City Everyday Tech Pant in Athletic Slim Fit | Dappered.com]( The extra secure, additional zip pocket is nifty. Still. Do yourself a favor [and get Banana Republic’s core temps](. For starters, the MSRP is $98.00, which is the same as for the Core Temp chinos. But since Hill City’s best promotion is currently $20.00 off your first order (or 15% off with the HCSAVE15 code), these are still $30+ more than the objectively better alternative, which again, weirdly happens to be made by the same company. [In Review: The Hill City Everyday Tech Pant in Athletic Slim Fit | Dappered.com]( Size  36W x 32L on 5’11” / 200lbs. There are many possible reasons why these pants just don’t cut it, but it’s probably the most obvious reason: The fabric. They have 4% less cotton than the Core Temp chinos. Sure, I could look for more obscure reasons, but the oddly medically accurate Scrubs puts it best: [when you hear horses, don’t go looking for zebras]( (note: in med school and [The Simpsons]( this is known as “Occam’s razor”). So, it’s the cotton. Can’t believe I’m saying this, but it appears that we need [more cotton](. How not-great is the fabric? Well, even though they’re advertised as an athletic fit and seem to bag in some places, they feel tighter than my Core Temp chinos. They just don’t have as much give. It doesn’t end there. They feel heavier and less breathable than any of my other tech pants. So if you wanted to avoid sweating at work, [you might have a problem here](. And, the pocket liners … they’re so thick and heavy that you’ll be forced to notice them when you have these pants on. It’s not ideal. [In Review: The Hill City Everyday Tech Pant in Athletic Slim Fit | Dappered.com]( They do make the “swish swish” sound. Which is like the “Timex tick”… only for tech pants. They also make the “swish swish” sound usually reserved for cheaper tech pants. If these pants were $29.99, that noise would be the price of admission. But, these are pretty expensive. And, if we’re heading into expensive, just go to [Lululemon](1100l8fEx/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fshop.lululemon.com%2Fc%2Fmens-trousers%2F_%2FN-8rq%3Fclickref%3D1100l7TDMQ2a%26CID%3DPHG_aff) (Note: I have no experience with Luluemon’s pants, but their other products are pretty fantastic). Also, the pockets. I expect that at least one back pocket would button up. [Nope](. So, there is a danger that your wallet just might slip out the back. The Core Temps are no better here, as they also don’t have “secured” pockets, but still. We’re paying more for the Hill City. I guess what I’m trying to say is “don’t buy these pants.” Maybe next time I’ll save you the obscure links words, and lead with that.

[Nordstrom: 25% off select Hamilton Watches]( If memory serves, not all of these were on sale during [the recent 25% off sale](. I don’t recall [the Murph]( getting the cut, or, [the Panda colorway]( of the Intra-Matic chrono. And while you might be able to find some of the more common field models at 3rd party gray-market dealers? You get a full factory warranty here with Nordstrom. That’s a big deal to many, especially with a “big” purchase like one of these. Plus, the free shipping and free returns that always comes with a Nordstrom purchase. That helps huge here too. I have no idea when this deal ends. It honestly might be a price-matching from a different retailer who matched THEIR prices to the now expired Nordy sale. So, it could be any minute that these on-sale prices go up in smoke. Tick tick and all that. [Hamilton “Murph” 42mm Automatic – $746.25]( ($995) [Hamilton “Murph” 42mm Automatic]( For those who appreciate science (and/or science fiction). For fans of the movie Interstellar. It’s “a faithful recreation of the watch that appeared in the movie on the wrist of main character Murph. With the word ‘Eureka’ printed in Morse code in lacquer on the seconds hand.” Terrific. [More info on this watch can be found here](. [Hamilton 40mm Khaki Field King Auto. Bracelet Watch – $446.25]( ($595) [Hamilton 40mm Khaki Field King]( I know it’s not quite the same, but this is a really, really nice, “affordable” (but plenty expensive to many of us) alternative to [the Rolex Explorer](. The Rolex will cost you… $6550. Which is nuts. This? Not even $450. Still Swiss made with an automatic movement and fine finishing. Cool. Look, I’m sure the Rolex is spectacular, but… most of us will take the Hamilton and the extra $6100 cash. “Nice watch! Is that a Rolex?” “Nope.” “What is it?” “Solvency.” [Hamilton 40mm Khaki Field King Auto – $408.75]( ($545) | [38mm Khaki Field $431.25]( ($575) [Hamilton Khaki Field]( And now the leather strap version, and it’s dayless (but still date equipped) kid brother. [Hamilton Intra-matic Auto Chrono in “Panda” – $1,646.25]( ($2,195) [Hamilton Intra-matic Auto Chrono in "Panda"]( Again, while Nordstrom’s [25% off full-price sale]( has come and gone, these somehow remain at 25% off. I’m guessing it’s a price match on ANOTHER retailer pricematching Nordy’s now expired 25% off sale. Got that? So there’s a bit of a double-secret-agent thing going on here. Still, 25% off. You get it. For now. Although I don’t recall the “Panda” option getting the 25% off before, but it is now! [Hamilton American Classic Automatic 40mm Chronograph Leather Strap Watch – $1,646.20]( ($2195) [Hamilton American Classic Automatic 40mm Chronograph Leather Strap Watch]( A rare model, that’s not on sale at many if any gray market dealers yet, and here you’d get it from an authorized dealer. So yeah. Warranty and all that. Again, I don’t know when these sale prices end at Nordstrom. Could be very soon, or, they could linger for a bit. Remember that everything ships and returns for free. Now go fire up your chosen streaming service [and watch Interstellar](. It’s an incredible piece of modern movie-making. Although it might rip your heart out. ff/Dappered?a=WwJjTqqQcjI:5uHCFJBEn4I:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=WwJjTqqQcjI:5uHCFJBEn4I:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=WwJjTqqQcjI:5uHCFJBEn4I:gIN9vFwOqvQ You are subscribed to email updates from [Dappered Style Mail]().
