Ralph Lauren’s Mid-Season Sale

image


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 MountaineeringMaster 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’s Mid-Season Sale

image


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’ Friends & Family Sale

image


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.

End’s Casualwear Sale

image


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 AspesiTen C, and NanamicaBattenwear 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 RRLOrslow, 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 briefcaseMaster 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.

Brooks Brothers Mid-Season Sale

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

Common Projects Sale

image


Oki-Ni is having a nice little promotion at the moment, where you can take £30 off any order over £150 by using the checkout code 30OFF150. The code applies to Common Projects and Maison Margiela sneakers, including the two companies’ flagship models – the all white Achilles Lows and white/ grey German Army Trainers. If you’re looking for some versatile sneakers this summer, you could hardly do better than these two. 

With the promo code and VAT discounts, each pair comes to about $275. Note, to get the VAT discount, you have to email Oki-Ni after you order. They manually process those requests, but it’s always a smooth and easy process. I’ve ordered from them a bunch of times and have never had a problem.

For sizing, I’ve gone true-to-size on both models. Mr. Porter also has measurements, should you find those helpful.

Ralph Lauren Private Sale

Ralph Lauren’s mid-season private sale starts today. Select items have been discounted by up to 30%, and you can knock off another 15% if you shop before April 30th (just use the checkout code PRIVATE15). Some notable items:

  • Anoraks: A bit on the pricey side, but this navy anorak looks like it would make for good spring outerwear. A similar version is available in orange.
  • Quilted Jackets: A bit more affordable at the quilted jackets. I like the M-65 version, although they also have something in a sport coat cut
  • Polo RL Work Shirts: Some indigo work shirts in flannel and popover designs. I also like this simple washed chambray

Note, in order to see the discounted prices, you have to go through Ralph Lauren’s private sale link
