Brooks Brothers is having a great one-day sale today on footwear. Take 40% off select models, with free standard shipping within the United States. 

There are some obvious exclusions, such as Edward Green and Red Wing, but much of Brooks Brothers’ house line is produced by top-end makers anyway. Crockett & Jones, for example, made these tie loafers and suede boots, while Alden manufactured these flex-sole bluchers, unlined chukkas, and tassel loafers. 

Some more affordable deals: Superga sneakers for $39 and SWIMS galoshes for $59. Also, Abbeyhorn shoehorns for about $35, although the discounts don’t seem to show up until you take the items to checkout.

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.

Ralph Lauren’s mid-season sale started yesterday. Apparently they’ve skipped their usual private invitations and gone straight to public. This time, select items have been discounted by as much as 50%, and starting tomorrow, you can get another 15% off if you use the checkout code RLFALL15. Possibly a good time to pick up a jacket, some shoes, or a bit of knitwear. Some of my favorites while browsing the site last night:

Apparently, when it rains, it pours – at least when it comes to mid-season promotions. UK clothier End just started mid-season sale, where you can take take 20% off almost any purchase with the checkout code AUTUMN15. The code surprisingly works on brands that are typically excluded, such as APC, Common Projects, and Maison Margiela. 

Also worth checking out: Epperson Mountaineering, Master Piece, and Filson for casual bags; Howlin’, Inverallan, Jamieson’s, and SNS Herning for knitwear; Nanamica, Stutterheim, and Mackintosh for raincoats; RRL, Engineered Garments, Needles, and Nigel Cabourn for reimagined workwear; and Orlebar Brown for swimshorts. End has one of the best online selections for casualwear. Definitely worth a browse. 

East Dane was introduced a few years ago as a sort of menswear side to ShopBop (a large, online emporium for women’s wear). Like their counterpart, East Dane has an equally big selection, ranging anywhere from minimalist fashion forward lines to more classic brands. Their focus is admittedly not that targeted, but if you sift through their inventory, you’ll be surprised at how many good things are carried here. 

For the next few days, they’re holding their mid-season sale, where you can knock 25% off with the checkout code INTHEFAM25. The code also works on their sale section, which makes some items discounted as much as 93% (I almost bought this Master Piece backpack last night). Some notables I found:

Brooks Brothers just started their Friends & Family sale. The event used to be held mid-season, but it’s apparently gone pre-season now (aren’t we technically still in summer?). In any case, you can take 25% off almost everything on their site with the checkout code FRIENDS. Some notable items include:

• Boots: These shell cordovan boots are some of my favorite shoes to wear with both jeans and tailored trousers. They also come in a suede version, which you can spray with a waterproofer and turn into rain boots. 
  
• Slip-Ons: Some nice models for tassels and pennies. Also a lightweight tie model from Crockett & Jones (available in pebbled grain or suede), which I think go well with casual suits.
  
• Unstructured Shoes: Floppy, unstructured bluchers and chukkas from Alden. 
  

• Edward Green: Surprisingly, certain models from Edward Green work with the discount code, such as the Bordon bluchers, Newmarket Chelesas, and Longmoor wingtips. 
  
• Outerwear: Some Beretta hunting coats, starting at about $300 with the discount. This model has a shoulder strap system inside that allows you to sling the jacket across your back when it’s not in use. 
  
• Shirts: The coupon code stacks on Brooks Brothers’ Every Day Value deals, which means shirts come out to about $57 apiece if you buy in sets of three. Check out their oxford-down button-downs (available in both solid-colored and striped options), as well as dressier chambray and denim models. 
  
• Luggage: Brooks Brothers’ sales are always the best time to pick up Filson bags. They also have a good range of luggage from JW Hulme, if you want something in leather. 
  
• Accessories: There are some nice things here and there if you browse the accessories section. I’ve always liked Brooks Brothers’ tartan umbrellas for their value, as well as some of their dress belts (I use this model). Also worth checking out are the gloves, scarves, garment brushes, shoehorns, tie cases, and dopp kits. My favorite item is this Lock & Co sisal hat. I bought one last year and have been wearing it all summer long.
  
• Sale Section: There are some linen shirts in sale section that come down to an appreciably low $45 with the discount code. Available in both solid colors and stripes. 
  

UK clothier End might be the only webstore that rivals Mr. Porter in terms of selection. They start their end-of-season sale today, where you can take 25% (almost) everything with the checkout code SALEPREVIEW. Some notables include:

• Outerwear: There’s some really great outerwear from Aspesi, Ten C, and Nanamica. Battenwear is worth a look if you want a hooded parka that’s slightly slimmer fitting than what you might get from Sierra Designs. There’s also a large selection from Barbour, although only certain models can be shipped to the United States. 
  
• Nigel Cabourn: One of my favorite designers. I’m really bummed End didn’t pick up this season’s tan Aircraft jacket in a size 36. 
  
• Sneakers: Lots of nice, minimally designed sneakers from ETQ, Buttero, and Common Projects. There’s also a great selection from Nike, as well as a couple of basic German Army Trainers from Maison Margiela.
  

• Rainwear: I really like Mackintosh, although if you want something more casual, there are some nice models from Elka and Stutterheim. 
  
• Basics: For the kind of warm minimalism I wrote about a few months ago, you can check out APC, Norse Projects, and MHL.
  
• Workwear: Yea, yea, yea, blog’s name and all. Anyway, there’s a nice selection of workwear this season from RRL, Orslow, and Levis Vintage Clothing. Neighborhood also has some nice flannels, while Engineered Garments has some outerwear. 
  
• Knitwear: Check out the textured knitwear from Inverallan and SNS Herning. Last season’s fall/ winter stock has been heavily discounted.
  
• Bags: Head Porter’s designs can be a little funky, but I like their simpler models, such as this Tanker briefcase. Master Piece is also worth a look for backpacks (I was kind of tempted by this one last night).
  
• Orlebar Brown: The pared down designs and adjustable side tabs on these swim shorts make them look a little more refined than the loud, drawstring models you see elsewhere. 
  
• Comme Des Garcons: A great niche label for fragrances, although you might want to be familiar with the scents before buying online. For what it’s worth, I wear Wonderwood (which smells woody) and 2 (which smells inky). 
  
• Sunglasses: For summer, there’s a nice selection of sunglasses from Randolph Engineering and Persol. 
  
• Sale stock: Also worth a look is End’s already discounted sale selection. The sale code doesn’t seem to stack, although the discounts are pretty good already. 

Mr. Porter just started their end-of-season sale, with select items marked down as much as 50% (a nice drop from their usual first-round markdown of 30%). Included in the sale is a surprising selection of Edward Green shoes, which are typically excluded from any discounts. Some other notables include: 

• Outerwear: Sizes are going fast, but there are some nice bomber jackets from Hardy Aimes and APC, motorcycle jackets from Belstaff, raincoats from Mackintosh, and general “heritage-y” designs from Private White VC. There’s also that peak-lapeled peacoat from Billy Reid, which was made famous in the last Bond film. 
  
• Shoes: In addition to the Edward Greens, there are these these George Cleverley boots and three models from Richard James. For more casual footwear, check out the sneakers from Margiela, Converse, and Common Projects. I bought the burgundy 1970s Chuck Taylors a few months ago, as well as the all-white b-ball highs. Both have quickly become favorites. If you pick up the b-ball highs, be sure to go down a full size (despite what Mr. Porter’s guide tells you). 
  

• Knitwear: APC has their usual summer Breton this season, while Doriani has an interesting flecked crewneck made from a silk and linen blend. For textured knitwear, I like these pieces from AMI and Maison Margiela. If you want something a bit simpler, try John Smedley. 
  
• Shirts: There are some nice casual shirts from Our Legacy, Levis Vintage Clothing, Neighborhood, and Gitman Vintage. Emma Willis and Turnbull & Asser can be relied on if you need something dressier. For something more affordable, check out the selection from Club Monaco, Alex Mill, Gant Rugger, Polo Ralph Lauren, and J. Crew.
  
• Ties and pocket squares: As usual, the best selection is available through Drake’s, although there are also some nice options from Richard James and Boglioli. 
  
• Bags: Lots of leather bags on sale from Lotuff Leather and Bill Amberg. There are also some Globe Trotter suitcases, as well as this military holdall from APC. For really nice backpacks, check out Master-Piece. 
  
• Swimwear: Orelebar Brown is great if you need something for wear by the pool this summer (they also have regular shorts). For something more affordable, check out Saturdays NYC.
  
• Misc: Lastly, there are some discounted Bresciani dress socks, woven Anderson’s belts, and Dents gloves. The selection of sunglasses isn’t too bad either, and there’s this interesting looking book on French Riviera style.
  

Barneys just started their mid-season sale, with select items available at 40% off. Some notables include:

• Outerwear from Aspesi, Belstaff, Moncler, Alex Mill, and Nanamica (Nanamica’s Cruiser is a favorite of mine)
• Leather jackets from Seraphin and Todd Synder
• Knitwear from Inis Meain and Zanone (size up if you buy Inis Meain’s linen sweaters)
• Shoes from John Lobb, Crockett & Jones, and Yuketen
• Sneakers from Common Projects, New Balance, and Nike
• Bags and wallets from Smythson and Mismo
• Ties and pocket squares from Drakes, Bigi, Battistoni, Isaia, Brioni, and Simonnot Godard
  

You can see the whole selection here.

Brooks Brothers’ mid-season Friends & Family sale starts today. Take 25% off with the checkout code BBFNF25. Some of the best deals are in the footwear and sale sections, the second of which is where you can stack discounts (there’s some particularly good outerwear, such as this brown leather bomber). Also worth checking out are some of the Black Fleece shirts, which come down to $73 after discount. 

My suggestion for browsing the footwear selection: sort by highest price first. Anything above $300 is usually Brooks Brothers’ better-made models. They do have some nice Superga sneakers for cheap though, should you need something for summer. 

Also notable: Filson and JW Hulme luggage, as well as my favorite pair of shell cordovan shoes. The checkout code even applies to some Edward Green footwear.
