[Even the best of us can screw up]( when it really counts. OH, BY THE WAY: [There is no such thing as privacy anymore.]( You are probably not surprised by this. Also, what began [here](and continued [here]( resulted in, oh wait. That last link pretty much spilled the beans. My two cents: when John Q Public isn’t getting a share of the spoils, he doesn’t much care for this. And it seems to me that [more people are paying attention these days.]( [And they are noisy.]( HA HA HARDY: [Ha Ha Hardy from | The Weekend Dossier on Dappered][(thank you)]( This was one of the [first movies]( that I noticed him in.

Sales Handful](r/Dappered/~3/vnfdypPJK44/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email) Posted: 30 Mar 2017 07:59 AM PDT 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. [Billy Reid: 25% off full priced Items w/ REEF25]( [Billy Reid]( - [Bond Peacoat – $521.25]( ($695) - [Distressed Calfskin Brief – $345]( ($595) (already on sale) - [K-Swiss Arlington Sneaker – $101.25]( ($135) - [Messenger Bag – Jet Black – $393.75]( ($525) - [Double Monk Strap – $296.25]( ($395) Can’t lie. We’re in an odd time for retail on the calendar. And Billy Reid, a producer of high quality, heritage goods, offering 25% off seems nice. Because it is. But for those of us on a budget? That stuff still is high in terms of price. And their spring line seems a little… “sandy” compared to previous years? Who knows. 25% off is still a good discount for Billy Reid. But remember, the discount only comes off regular priced items. [J. Crew: $25 gift card w/ $125 purchase]( + [40% off sale w/ SALETIME]( [J. Crew]( - [Unconstructed Summerweight Sportcoats (multiple colors) – $168]( + $25 gift card - [Slim Secret Wash Shirt in Large Stripe – $23.99]( ($59.50) - [Secret Wash Shirt in Indigo Check – $29.99]( ($59.50) - [Shawl-Collar Cardigan Sweater – $50.99]( ($118) - [Italian Cashmere Shawl-Collar Popover Sweater – $131.99]( ($298) + $25 gift card - [Field Mechanic Jacket – $112.80]( ($198) That’s a new one for J. Crew, no? The gift card thing? In comparison to 25% or 30% off select regular priced item sales… it’s not that great. ($25 is just 20% of $125, and you can’t use the g.c. on the purchase you’re making to get it.) But… to stack that on top of some already on sale items? Or some stuff that never, ever gets included in codes? Or at least won’t be up for a code seemingly anytime soon? (Like the unconstructed sportcoats.) That’s not too terrible. Also, it appears that you get a $25 gift card for every $125 you spend, not just a flat $25 card once you hit $125. So, big purchases = more cards. [Huckberry: “Refresh your Workstation” Sale]( [Huckberry]( - [Bull & Stash x Everyman Notebook and Pen – $85.00]( - [Trance Metals Copper Sphere – $84.98]( ($99) - [Flyte Levitating Light – $348.98]( ($399) - [Tactile Turn Slider Pen in Copper]( or [Titanium]( – $57.98 – $66.98 That levitating light. Goodness. Not cheap, but… THE DAMN THING LEVITATES. Think warm, rosey metals like copper are having a bit of a moment now? [J. Crew Factory: Extra 50% off Clearance w/ ALLMINE]( [J. Crew Factory]( - [100% Cashmere Crew – $59.99]( ($168) - [Striped Washed Button Down in End-on-End Stripe – $12.49]( FINAL - [SLIM Heathered Washed Tee – $4.99]( FINAL - [Sutton Fit Broken in Chino – $19.99]( FINAL - [Washed Button Down in Tattersall – $14.99]( FINAL A true clearance and then some. This seems to be the very, very ends of their clearance stock at this time, so, size selection is super scattered. Also, J.C.F. cashmere? Who knew and who knows. Seems like that cashmere crew is one of the few items that’s not final sale though?

The wine bar shown above is marked down by 15%. Not huge, but not a bad discount either. If you have some extra wall space to fill, and could use a little extra storage, it fills that need.

There’s definitely some good deals to be found if you’re willing to sift through all the product. BONUS  [UNIQLO OCBD Sale – $19.90]( ($29.90) A warning… there’s now only like, 52,000 iterations of the popular UNIQLO oxford cloth button down. They did “Americanize” the fit over the last year or so, which peeved off the real slim and trim crowd. So know that going in. Read the reviews to get an idea as to what might fit like what.
