Five of the better sales are below, plus bonus sales if need be. Included are a few picks worth pointing out. [Huckberry: Spring Flash Sale has launched]( - [Arc’teryx Eris Polo – $50.98]( ($69) - [Grayers Newport Stretch 3 Button Blazer – $146.98]( ($195) - [PROOF Nomad Tech Pants – $72.98]( ($98) - [Sunski Dipseas – $39.98]( ($58) - [The Falcon Suede Jacket – $208.98]( ($299.95) - [Taylor Stitch The Ojai Jacket – Huckberry Exclusive – $114]( ($228) - [Rhodes Dean Boot in Suede or dark nubuck – $109.98]( ($220) Not a huge event, but maybe my perspective has been skewed by those monster clearance sales they had at the tail end of winter. Still, some solid stuff in there. I’m not an Acr’teryx fanboy myself (I have zero direct experience with the brand), but I do know a few who lose their marbles over that stuff. And allegedly, getting anything from that brand on sale can be difficult. Big thanks to Anthony M. on the tip about the Rhodes boots still being on mega sale. Just suede and dark nubuck, but c’mon, for $110? Nifty. [J. Crew: 50% off select full price w/ REFRESH]( [J. Crew]( - [Abingdon weekender duffel – $149]( ($298) - [Cape sunglasses – $32.50]( ($65) - [Slim Baird McNutt Irish linen shirt – $44.50]( ($89.50) Fifty? [Five-O]( Nifty. Not an enormous selection, but still. Some long-time favorites like the Abingdon Weekender as well as the Field Mechanic jacket getting that larger-than-average cut. [EXPRESS:  40% – 60% off everything, with a lot at 50% off](//www.express.com/) [Express](//www.express.com/) - [Piped Cotton Stretch Performance Polo – $24.95](//www.express.com/clothing/men/piped-moisture-wicking-performance-polo/pro/05047580/color/Horizon%20Blue/e/regular/) ($49.90) - [Slim Chambray Soft Wash Button-Down Shirt – $24.95](//www.express.com/clothing/men/slim-chambray-soft-wash-button-down-shirt/pro/00285161/color/Indigo%20Blue/e/regular/) ($49.90) - [Floral Print Wrinkle-Resistant Performance Dress Shirt- $34.95](//www.express.com/clothing/men/classic-floral-print-wrinkle-resistant-performance-dress-shirt/pro/06035065/color/Obsession%20Blue/e/regular/) ($69.90) - [Slim Dot Print Luxe Comfort Knit Shirt – $34.95](//www.express.com/clothing/men/slim-dot-print-luxe-comfort-knit-shirt/pro/06035329/color/White/e/regular/) ($69.90) Let’s do this again! Although, let’s do it better. Slightly better prices this time on their polos, chambray shirts, print shirts, etc. It seems like a lot of what was 40% off last week, is now 50% off this week. [Filson: Spring Sale has Launched]( [Filson]( - [Original Briefcase in Rugged Twill – $209.90](11070256-fco-007761341) ($325) - [Medium Rugged Twill Duffel – $209.90](11070325-fco-007761341) ($325) Was a late addition to Monday’s tripod, so adding it back in here. But there’s a catch: I don’t think anyone knows when this stuff ships. It might be a while. Which is understandable. Also worth noting is that the images above aren’t to scale. C’mon guys, I still use MS Paint. Who do I look like, Mozart? I’m no great orator. [Nordstrom: Spring Sale]( + [Price Matching Bonanza]( [Nordstrom]( - [Nordstrom Trim Fit Performance Stretch Sport Coat – $119.40]( ($199) - [Barbour Goosall Water Resistant Waxed Cotton Jacket – $254.98]( ($425) - [Nordstrom Bomber Jacket – $77.40]( ($129) - [Nike Killshot 2 – $67.50]( ($90) - [Ray-Ban 50mm Folding Wayfarer Sunglasses – $107.80]( ($154) - [Clarks Crepe Sole Desert Chukka Boot – $91]( ($130) - [Nordstrom Tech-Smart Trim Fit Stretch Herringbone Dress Shirt – $27.80]( ($69.50) - [Tumi Alpha Bravo Albany Commuter Briefcase – $359.98]( ($450) Their spring sale ain’t a spring stale quite yet. [HAHAHAHAHA](. Stop it. Lots of what was originally up for grabs in the Spring Sale has come and gone, but [a few new price-matched items]( have taken their place. Everything ships and returns for free of course. [BONUS Banana Republic: 55% off No BR Merch Exclusions]( [Banana Republic]( - [Water-Resistant Field Jacket – $103.05]( ($229) - [Camo Coach’s Jacket – $59]( ($118) - [Hadley Italian Leather Brogue Oxford – $79]( ($158) - [Slim Stretch-Cotton Suit Jacket – $89.10]( ($198) - [Aiden Slim Core Temp Pant – $49]( ($98) So it’s half off (what they’ve been running for a bit now) but an ADDITIONAL 10% off on top of that, and if you happen to be a BR cardmember? You should be able to stack another 10% off on top of that with the code BRCARD at checkout. I got that black Field Jacket for myself, and it’s pretty darn sharp. Matte in person. Cotton/nylon exterior. A really nice spring jacket. Plus, they’re offering free shipping at $25 right now (used to be $50) and [have extended their returns window out to July 1](. Returns are free too. [BONUS II adidas: 40% off select w/ ADIFAVS]( [adidas]( The Pick: [adidas Originals 70s Stan Smith in Cloud White/Collegiate Green – $48]( ($80) I know. [You’ve already seen these](. And so have I. Multiple times. I keep revisiting the post despite being the author of it. Seems to be on a bit of a loop in my head, those 70s-style Stan Smiths with their super-soft leather, tasteful dark green accents, and gold stamp on the side. *shakes head vigrously* So… in meditation, there’s a technique called “noting”. When a thought enters your mind, instead of fighting it, you simply note it. Look, there it is. You gently acknowledge its presence. And by doing so, it’s more likely to dissipate. This second mention of these Stan Smiths with their (awesome) dark green heel tab, is actually me “noting” those sneakers. Okay brain, you can let ’em go now…. let ’em go. No. Really. Let them go. [YOU GOTTA LET ‘EM GO SIR](. …sonsofb*tches Also worth a mention: - [Banana Republic](: 50% off, no BR Merch exclusions. - [Need Supply Co]( 25% off just about site wide. - [Club Monaco]( 25% off site wide. - [Under Armour](//www.underarmour.com/en-us/?): 25% off site wide w/ WFH25 - [Brooks Brothers](//www.brooksbrothers.com/): Up to 30% off + free shipping AND returns. ff/Dappered?a=oglYFRCcYAM:_gyhBaB1lS8:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=oglYFRCcYAM:_gyhBaB1lS8:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=oglYFRCcYAM:_gyhBaB1lS8:gIN9vFwOqvQ [Allen Edmonds Anniversary Sale 2020 – Top 15 Picks](r/Dappered/~3/dIp9J1ohCL8/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email) Posted: 09 Apr 2020 02:30 AM PDT Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission.

And each year they celebrate their birthday with a big fat sale. It’s a “select items” sale. Meaning, some items are getting bigger/better discounts than others. This year? It’s not as massive of a blowout as past. Lots of their legendary dress styles are stuck at the $315 price point. Which is good! It’s not just… the best. That said, there’s still plennnty worth considering. Below you’ll find our picks for the best of the best in terms of price to style ratio. Got a tip on something we missed? Send those suggestions into joe@dappered.com. [#1. Fifth Ave. Cap Toe Oxford – $245]( ($395) [Fifth Ave. Cap Toe Oxford]( Conservative, but the quarter-brogue style perforated cap toe spices it up a bit. Like, a little. One of their standards. Can’t go wrong here. One of the few wheelhouse styles well below $300 this time around. [#2. Suede Neumok Wingtips – $245]( ($345) [Allen Edmonds Suede Neumoks]( Spring suede. Those things sure look like the real deal. 360 degree Goodyear Welt, Made in Port Washington, recraftable, and more than just a summer shoe. Wear them now with jeans and chinos, keep wearing them with lightweight chinos and summer suits when it heats up, then keep on wearing them into early fall when you break the denim back out again. [#3. Williamsburg Chukkas – $329]( ($445) [Allen Edmonds Williamsburg Chukka]( Still pretty spendy, but they’re a new, dead-simple style, and chukkas are so darn versatile. Available in coffee, oxblood, or black. More than $100 off. [#4. Boulevard Cap Toe Blucher – $245]( ($395) [AE Boulevard Blucher]( Prediction: Bluchers/Derbies make a comeback. Because while the style snobs will insist that oxfords ([with their sleeker, closed lacing]() are necessary for dressed up looks… nobody really cares that much. Go ahead. Wear bluchers with a suit (you REBEL YOU DON’T HURT ‘EM!). At this point (spoiler: it’s always been “this point”) there are more important things to worry about. We might be entering a new time when versatility is paramount. Say, someone owns one pair of super nice shoes (these) and wears the bleeding hell out of them with everything they can. [#5. Nomad Bucks – $195]( ($345) [Nomad Bucks]( Bucks are seasonal. So not as versatile as the rest of the Anniversary Sale picks. But still, you’ll get plenty of wear out of em’ if you commit to living the buck yeah life. I do wish [the Nomad chukkas]( would still have a decent size range though. Those are all but sold out. If they would have been included in this sale, with a full size run, then I coulda wandered around my house all day growling: “BUCK CHUKKA. BUCK CHUKKA. BUHHHHHHCK CHUKAHAAAAAA” in a Macho Man Randy Savage voice. OOH YEAH SNAP INTO IT. [#6. Strand Oxfords in Walnut, Black, Cigar, Oxblood, etc. – $315]( ($395) [Allen Edmonds Strand Captoe Oxfords on Dappered.com]( The legend. Yes they have and they will go for cheaper somewhere down the line (whether through AE or through Nordstrom or somewhere else). So while $315 isn’t the best price, it’s a good price. Do we have an in-person review? [Yes we do](. Thanks for asking (even if you didn’t ask.) [#7. Made in the USA Cedar Shoe Valet – $56]( ($70) [Allen Edmonds Shoe Valet]( A great place to store your shoe-shine kit. Plus the foot rest comes in super-handy when you’re buffing your shoes. Non-slip rubber foot pads, made out of aromatic cedar, and the metal latch is a nice touch. [#8. McAllister Wingtip Oxford – $315]( ($395) [McAllister Wingtip Oxford]( All the visual interest of a wingtip, but you still get the conservative toe shape and classy looks of a true oxford. Tons of colors to pick from. Multiple widths to choose from too. All sorts of right. [#9. Cornwallis Dress Oxford – $315]( ($395) [Cornwallis Dress Oxford]( Contemporary without being overly flashy. Sexy without being thirsty. The Cornwallis might be one of the best looking shoes Allen Edmonds has ever come out with. Is it as timeless as the McAllister wingtip? Nah. Is it, uh… hawt? Yes it is. Full in person review from us can be [found here](. [#10. Strandmok Cap Toe Oxfords – $245]( ($345) [Strandmok Cap Toe Oxfords]( A more casual version of the popular Strand. Can get a little funky (see the blue heel/sole on that pair shown above) but there are some less odd options too. [#11. St. John’s Double Monk Strap – $315]( ($395) [AE St. John's Double Monk Strap on Dappered.com]( Available in black, walnut, coffee, and the dark chili shown here. Full review of these things [can be found right here](. [#12. Catalina Soft Suede Penny Loafers – $195]( ($295)  I mean, if you pair [these]( with [some red pants](, you’re gonna have to bring it so much that there won’t be anything left to be broughten. bringed. brought. POW! Do note that POW! these aren’t made in POW! the USA. Bummer. [#13. Bond Street Cap Toe Oxfords – $325]( ($425) [Allen Edmonds Bond Street Cap Toe Oxfords]( Simple, clean, classic, but with a slightly elongated shape for a more contemporary look. That’s the Bond Street. [Built on the new 64 last](, which is a slightly longer and a touch more roomy through the toe box than the classic 65 (Park Ave., Strand). Standard color range PLUS a couple of subtly textured options, as is shown above. [#14. Made in the USA Golden Bear Varsity Jacket – $415]( ($595) [Made in the USA Golden Bear Varsity Jacket]( Looks like something an old school baseball manager woulda worn. Made in San Francisco. Leather sleeves, knit collar, cuffs and waistband, cotton body. Contemporary fit should fit closer to the body. [#15. Made in the USA Merino Cool Lobster Socks – $13.65]( ($19.50) [Made in the USA Merino Cool Lobster Socks]( I mean, they’re Lobster socks. Delicious sea scorpions. What a trick right? That lobsters are considered a delicacy? They’re ocean bugs. Would you put on a silly bib and saddle up, drooling, to a table ready to dip scorpion meat into drawn butter? Probably not. But lobsters are different, right? Because… they live in the ocean? Getting [rocked by the occasional hurricane]( Point is: we should probably eat more scorpions. The socks will keep your feet cool and well cushioned by way of the merino wool, with sweat wicking properties that’ll help prevent your feet from smelling and feeling like [a couple of cheddar bay biscuits](. Made in the USA too. The Allen Edmonds Anniversary Sale runs clear through May 4th.

A series on, you guessed it, who wears what to work, when working, or NOT working, from home. To help keep you on track with your work (day job or self-improvement) when stuck inside for the next few weeks, this is a series on how to dress at home to put you in the right frame of mind.

[What I Wore Today Working From Home: Varun, Social Media Strategist | Dappered.com] The Shirt: [Amazon Essentials Slim Fit Chambray Shirt in Grey – $23](. Never going to admit how many chambray shirts I own; however, I was pleasantly surprised to find how much I liked the quality of the Amazon’s Essentials option. For a bigger guy it fit just right and the sleeves were perfect for a Tall size. The Watch: [Seiko SKX007K2 – $368](. The watch industry’s worst-kept-secret (and for good reason). This Seiko model remains to be in many collector’s arsenal and it was my very first automatic timepiece. The hardlex crystal remains unscratched, and it looks just as good on a metal bracelet as it does on a NATO strap. The Belt: [AEO Grey Suede Belt – $12.47](//www.ae.com/us/en/p/men/belts/leather-belts/aeo-leather-belt/0223_5195_020?nvid=pdp:0223_5195_001&AID=12102701&PID=7100520&cid=aeo_aff_2617611&SID=36225X949396X950cb3f1e85ea289331dde6201313744&cjevent=1b4f967d793d11ea806200de0a1c0e14) ($24.95). Everyone’s got a brown leather and a black leather. How about something a little different? The Jeans: [Banana Republic Traveler Black Jean – $59.50]( ($119). Can we take a moment to celebrate the stretch in men’s jeans? Whether it’s BR’s traveler or Bonobos’ Travel Jeans, hell even American Eagle’s Flex. As a dancer (in a previous life at UT Austin *Hook ‘Em Horns*), I can truly appreciate a pair of bottoms that won’t rip when trying to show off your moves. The Shoes: [Bostonian Dezmin Suede Boot in Cola Suede – $72](. Desert boots are terrific all around, but something about the color of this one just hits the spot. It can be dressed down with just a tee and chinos, but I’ve also dressed it up to the point of wearing it with an unlined suit. The Socks: [Old Navy Donkey Kong Socks – $3.99](. Why not add a little fun to your look? I’m not much of a gamer, but playing Super Smash Bros. with my buddies from all walks of life has been a welcomed distraction while under quarantine. Want to submit your own WIWTWFM?

[Mystery Ranch x Huckberry The Mission Hybrid Bag – $167.98]( ($240) UPDATE: Good grief these got a nice fat discount overnight. $167.98 now, AND it ships and returns for free. About the Author: Mark G. has been a member of the US Air Force for the past 17 years, serving 11 years on Active Duty and now a full-time member of the Reserves. Currently in Maryland, he enjoys a variety of hobbies, to include mediocre woodworking (he’s just skilled enough with his power tools to—at press time—retain all fingers and toes), hunting, as much travel as possible, and even occasionally badly impersonating a horse. A relative newcomer to the world of men’s style, he’s found a niche and rocks it whenever he can, from dressing for brunch in NYC to an Embassy black-tie party in DC. I first came into contact with [Mystery Ranch products]( while on deployment to Afghanistan in 2012, and have been a huge fan ever since. Those familiar with backpacking probably know the brand [Dana Design](, founded by Dana Gleason and eventually sold to K2 in 1995. In 2000, Gleason founded Mystery Ranch, and just four years later found himself making packs for the US Navy SEALs. This quickly blossomed into a VERY close partnership with the US military which branched out to the First Responder community as well. Mystery Ranch is a company synonymous with quality, rugged packs (designed and made in Montana) that can be dragged to hell and back without so much as a zipper catching. [Mystery Ranch x Huckberry The Mission Hybrid Bag]( Whoo hooo! Lookatit go! [This new offering]( made in concert with Huckberry, capitalizes on that reputation, though with the asterisk being that it isn’t made in Montana, but overseas. The only effect that overseas manufacture seems to have is on the price, because in my extensive hands-on exploration of the pack (comparing it side-by-side with [my 3-Day Assault pack]( which currently serves “gym bag” duty) I can’t find a single quality issue with it–speaking volumes of Mystery Ranch’s commitment to quality control. [Mystery Ranch x Huckberry The Mission Hybrid Bag | Dappered.com]( A weekender duffel AND a backpack, all in one. Waxed 500D Cordura fabric. Very tough. The material of the bag itself is a waxed 500D Cordura fabric, which is SERIOUSLY tough stuff. It’s the same grade of nylon that makes up issued plate carriers (body armor) for combat troops. Very heavy duty. This version, however, has a really cool “brushed flannel” feel, something I’ve never experienced with a waxed fabric before. HUGE kudos on that. It does *NOT* feel like any 500D I’ve ever worn/used in my life. The zippers are EXTREMELY beefy YKK units, with pull tabs made of parachute cord (also referred to as “550 cord”). Stitching is uniform, even, and appears to be extremely strong. While I admittedly didn’t try to yank the reinforced carry handles or built-in shoulder straps free from their anchor points, if previous experience is any indicator, they’re not coming off without a pair of trucks playing tug-of-war. [Mystery Ranch x Huckberry The Mission Hybrid Bag | Dappered.com]( Beefy YKK zippers with parachute cord pull tabs. Having established that the build quality hasn’t suffered at all due to overseas manufacture, let’s take a look at what’s inside. The given name, The Mission Hybrid/3-way, implies that you can use it for three purposes: As a weekender duffel, as a backpack, and in a pinch, as a briefcase-like bag. Now, it is far roomier than the typical briefcase (and the casual nature doesn’t lend to most situations in which a briefcase is appropriate), but it does have everything needed to make for a FANTASTIC 72-hour travel bag. [Mystery Ranch x Huckberry The Mission Hybrid Bag | Dappered.com]( Plenty of room for a long weekend. Specifically designed spaces for shoes, a laptop, etc. Upon opening the main zipper which travels along three sides, one finds a large and small compartment similar to what most rectangular carry-on luggage has. The large compartment is plenty big enough for socks, underwear, a couple t-shirts and pants or shorts. The smaller compartment is essentially just a zippered mesh keeper for smaller items, toiletries (if you don’t have a separate dopp kit), etc. The other side of the smaller compartment has its own zippered opening and a more traditional “briefcase” interior–pouches for documents, a specific microfiber-lined location for tablets, etc.. This bag also comes with a padded laptop sleeve. Huckberry says it fits laptops up to 15 inches, and I found that not only was that true, but even my 17-inch laptop went in fine, although a bit snug to get through the zipper. (But of course, YMMV. Not all 17-inch laptops may fit, of course). [Mystery Ranch x Huckberry The Mission Hybrid Bag | Dappered.com]( A look inside the business-y section. Smaller pockets for pens, a microfiber lined tablet pocket, etc. Moving down to the “bottom” (or one of the sides, depending upon how you’re holding/carrying it) [we see two very large grommets](, which serve as drainage holes for the shoe/boot compartment, which boasts a waterproof lining and taped seams, as well as capacity large enough for standard hiking-type boots. It’s worth noting that the shoe compartment intrudes into the large portion of the main compartment, so it eats into the available space there when utilized. The bag includes shoulder straps which can be hidden away if you just want to hand-carry via one of the two very stout handles along one of each of the long and short edges. It took me a minute but I found the hidden nylon webbing loops to which the shoulder straps attach, tucked under a flap to keep them out of sight when not in use. Clever. [Mystery Ranch x Huckberry The Mission Hybrid Bag | Dappered.com]( Shoulder straps which can hide away if you want to carry it like a duffel. But the best feature of this bag is one that makes a simpleton like me giggle with delight at the engineering, creativity, and exclamations of “holy [bleep] why did nobody do this sooner?” It uses rare-earth magnets to hold everything together, coupled with a “rip-open” zipper architecture which makes it quite easy to open one-handed, as you can see in the photos… [Mystery Ranch x Huckberry The Mission Hybrid Bag | Dappered.com]( Ta-da. Easy open, one-handed operation when you need quick access. So what’s the final verdict? Well, I think putting the word “briefcase” into the name may not be the best idea, as it really doesn’t work as what is traditionally (especially on this site) considered a briefcase–it’s far too casual to use in nearly any professional work environment. As a short-trip travel bag (or carry-on for essentials just in case your primary luggage gets rerouted), however, it is the knees of the bee. Clever design inside and out, enough room for all the stuff you might take on a flight or train, versatility of stowable shoulder straps, waxed finish to help shed weather as well as added patina over time, and rugged enough you won’t be worrying if it’s going to fall apart soon. It’s an amazingly solid bag at what is probably one of the kinder prices I’ve ever seen Mystery Ranch gear being offered at.
