The great thing about Black Friday these days is that you don’t have to push through crowds in order to score deals. Everything is online. Over at Put This On, I’ll have a roundup of about 150 sales today (I’ll also do a separate list for Cyber Monday). If you’re looking for a more condensed version, however, here are eight of my favorites, along with some notable items at each store.
Mr. Porter: The sale that’s always on top of everyone’s list. Select items have been discounted by 30%, although sometimes the savings only show up on the last page of the checkout process (right before you submit your credit card information). The Cleverley chukkas and Rubinacci pocket square pictured above, for example, show up as full-price on the product page, but they get discounted once you take them to checkout.

End: 20% off at checkout. Tons of great stuff here from brands such as Engineered Garments, Nigel Cabourn, Orlebar Brown, Mackintosh, and Barbour (although certain Barbour models can’t be shipped to the US, some can).
Pictured above: APC jeans; Howlin Donegal sweater; Ten C field jacket; and Master Piece backpack
Ralph Lauren: Tiered discounts, depending on how much you spend, with the checkout code CYBER15. The promotion is stackable on sale items, although I think there are better deals in the full-price sections. These chukkas, for example, are about 34% off with the checkout code.

Exquisite Trimmings: A sponsor of this site, although also one of my favorite shops for accessories. Take 20% off with the checkout code BLACKFRIDAY. Applies to everything except house label items and things in their sale section. There’s also free shipping on orders over 200GBP.

Skoaktiebolaget: Another sponsor of this site, but also one of the main shops I’ve been buying shoes from for the last two years (well before they became a sponsor). Take 15% off all available stock with the checkout code BLACK15. The code applies to brands that are rarely discounted anywhere, such as Saint Crispin’s and Edward Green. They also carry more affordable lines, such as Carmina and Enzo Bonafe, as well as accessories from Liverano & Liverano and Rubinacci. Note, although Skoaktiebolaget is a foreign store, the listed prices include all customs and duties (they take care of all those charges).
Pictured above: A pair of Saint Crispin’s split toes. Sold out in Russian calf, but still available CRU606 crust leather.
Self Edge: My favorite shop for denim and denim-related things. Unfortunately, they don’t hold deep discounts, so 15% off is about as good as you’re going to get. Use the code LetsDrink2015.
Pictured above: Stevenson flight jacket; 3sixteen unsanforized jeans; Lady White t-shirt; Self Edge x John Lofgren sneakers
Kiehl’s: $20 off orders over $65 with the code JINGLE, or four deluxe samples with the code BIGTREAT. Savings aren’t that big, but they’re better than the company’s usual Friends and Family sale if you don’t plan on picking up that much. I’m a big fan of their body scrub soap.
Acorn: If you have a custom shirtmaker, Acorn is a great source for affordable, workhorse fabrics (assuming your tailor is willing to do CMT). For orders over 100GBP, get free shipping with the checkout code BLACK.
