Mr. Porter is having a one-day sale today, where you can get 20% off select items with the checkout code JUNE21. The promotion only applies to items marked as “seasonal,” which you can find neatly organized under this “sun shop” section. Don’t bother trying to apply the code to other full-priced products or already-marked down sale items – I tried and it doesn’t work.
The good news is that there’s actually a bit of good stuff in the “sun shop” section. There are some handsome camp-collar shirts from Officine Generale, Gitman Vintage, AMI, and Kapital. I have an older version of that Kapital shirt and wear it all the time with ranch jackets, chore coats, and even on its own with just jeans. Additionally, there are some summer-ready shorts from Orlebar Brown and Officine Generale; mid-length swim trunks from Orlebar Brown; and my favorite chambray, which is made by Chimala. This Rubinacci “Victory” pocket square has a cream-colored background that makes it useful in just about any tailored outfit, but also a bit of pattern that keeps it looking like the solid-colored, cream squares worn by prom DJs (no offense to prom DJs).
I also bought a vintage Lee’s 101-J trucker jacket from Wooden Sleepers yesterday (it’s pictured below). The style was introduced in the 1930s and is known as the first slim-fit denim jacket. But more than provenance, I like the design for its slanted chest pockets, zig-zag stitching, and slightly cropped fit (they’re shorter than Levi’s truckers). You can find them on Etsy for as little as $50, but if you’re looking to splurge, this Kapital trucker looks excellent. Note, Mr. Porter’s website recommends sizing up twice.
Mr. Porter also has some great luggage on sale, including some aluminum suitcases from Fabbrica Pelletterie Milano and a black rolltop duffle bag from Herschel Supply. I’m tempted to buy this canvas weekender from Bennett Winch for myself. The style looks like it would work well with tailoring or workwear, while the separate shoe compartments would let a germaphobe like me rest easy. Will Boehlke, formerly of A Suitable Wardrobe, carries something similar from Ettinger.
Finally, the promotion includes a ton of loafers and slip-on styled shoes. See these tassel loafers from Edward Green, black calf and brown suede penny loafers from George Cleverly, floppy unlined loafers from Edward Green, and white canvas espadrilles from Castañer. Edward Green’s Picadilly loafers are my favorite loafers to wear with casual suits and sport coats. They’re terribly expensive (even on sale), but they have a beautiful, sleek shape without being cartoony. Black is surprisingly nice with navy sport coats and grey trousers, although I don’t wear mine as much as my dark brown pair. Hooman Majd can be seen wearing a tan pair of Piccadillys at the very top of this post.
Note, the 20% off promotion ends tonight. Mr. Porter also has an ongoing end-of-season sale, where you can find select items discounted by as much as 70% off.
