There’s a nice sale going on today at Ralph Lauren. Take an extra 20% off already marked-down items with the checkout code JAN2015. That puts discounts as high as 75% off. Some notables:

• A blue anorak available at a really affordable price. Possibly good for those looking for a simple and versatile piece on a budget. 
• Brown leather A-2, albeit only available in size XL. Mr. Porter has better photos, as well as garment measurements. 
• A quilted bomber jacket. I have an old version of this and wear it all the time with chinos and jeans.
• Some cashmere cable knit sweaters. Somewhat overpriced at full-retail, but great on sale. I’ve used them as layering pieces. 
• Affordable turtlenecks for those who aren’t sure if turtlenecks work for them. Grey makes for a nice, versatile color. 
• Lots of shirts. Some RRL flannels and indigo workshirts, as well as this Polo line calico-striped shirt that’s RRL in design, but not in price. Additionally, there are some nice dress shirts for those looking for something to wear with sport coats and suits (I like the custom-fit models without the logos on the chest).
• Orange retro-mountaineering backpack. I have a navy version of this that I like a lot. The little logo-ed patch at bottom can be taken off with a seam ripper, if you wish. 
• Cashmere lined leather gloves and Donegal wool watch caps (again, you can take the logo off with a seam ripper). 
• Ralph Lauren has some deeper discounted items in their clearance section. Included are things such as this RRL paratrooper-inspired parka, Polo line chambray, and some last-of-the-bunch Preston-fit trousers (my favorite off-the-rack dress pants, which have been sadly discontinued). 

End started their fall/ winter sale last night, with 40% taken almost across the board. There’s a ton of great casualwear from a number of brands. Here are some notables:

• Barbour: Discounted Barbour (this time available to US customers). Nice, basic waxed cotton jackets starting at about $200. 
• Buttero: Minimalist sneakers for those who want something different from Common Projects. 
• Mackintosh: Rather than going for the poly-blends and cotton twills, I recommend ponying up for the bonded cottons (they’re the ones that retail for $1,000+). The upcharge is worth it. 
• Elka: Casual raincoats that are a little more affordable than Stutterheim.
• Levis Vintage Clothing: Tons of vintage inspired jeans, flannels, and sweatshirts.
• Mt. Rainier Design: Some nice 60/ 40 parkas to help get you through this coming spring. 
• Ten C: Military-inspired outerwear line that I’ve been really into lately. Made from interesting, but highly wearable, fabrics. 
• APC: Tons of shirts, jeans, outerwear, and knitwear.
• Nanamica: If you don’t mind the price, this Gore-Tex parka is amazing. 
• Crescent Down Works: Quilted outerwear for the chill. 
• Our Legacy: A European brand with very simple, wearable basics. Fairly easy to incorporate into any wardrobe.
• Nigel Cabourn: Maker of the coat you see above. 

You can also go through their sale section, which is organized by types of clothing (shirts, jackets, shoes, etc). Possibly easier if you’re shopping for something specific. 

Brooks Brothers started an unexpected sale today. For the next week, you can take 25% off almost everything, which means this is another chance to get something nice if you missed their mid-season Friends & Family sale. Some notables:

• Shoes: These suede cap-toe boots might be my favorite, but equally great are their Alden-made suede bluchers and tassel loafers. The whole footwear section is worth a browse, really. 
• Beretta Outerwear: Lots of sturdy outerwear from Beretta, such as this hunting coat and waxed cotton jacket. 
• Filson: Brooks Brothers’ sales remain the best time to get Filson luggage, including the company’s popular 0256 model briefcase.  
• Shirts: One of the better oxford-cloth button-down models around. 
• Umbrellas: Handsomely designed, reasonably well-made, and very well-priced (especially on sale).  
• Sale Section: The discount also stacks on sale items. This suede jacket looks nice, and there are a ton of shirts and pants in the Black Fleece sale section. Just note that Black Fleece trousers have a fairly high rise (which I like, but it’s not to everyone’s taste). There’s also a silly locker loop attached to the back, but an alterations tailor can remove it for you. 

Today’s Black Friday, the biggest sale season of the year. I’ve compiled a list of every Black Friday sale over at Put This On, but for a more condensed version, here are some of my favorites. 

• Self Edge: 14% off with the code LetsDrink2014. I’ve been wearing this Stevenson flight jacket a lot lately with 3sixteen jeans. (incidentally, 3sixteen is offering 10% off with the code BF2014).
• East Dane: Take up to 25% off your order with the code GOBIG14. The key is to stack the promotion with their sale items, where you can find stuff from brands such as Aspesi, SNS Herning, and Patrik Ervell. Narrow their stock by using the search filter for brands. 
• Ralph Lauren: Spend more, save more event (use the code CYBER14). Stack this promotion with their sale items, which are already discounted by up to 60%. I just picked up these RRL jeans. 
• Brooks Brothers: Up to 25% off, depending on how you pay. Again, the key is to stack the promotion with their sale items. I like some of the shirts and accessories in the Black Fleece section. 
• End: Take 25% off with the code BLACKFRIDAY25. Lots of great casualwear here, such as stuff from Nigel Cabourn, Engineered Garments, Common Projects, Stutterheim, and Nanamica. You can use this list I recently compiled for a quick roundup of notable items.
• Skoaktiebolaget: 10% off all items with the code BLK2014. The discount isn’t big, but their retail prices are already very competitive. Their Edward Green shoes, for example, start around $800 once you discount for VAT.
• Margiela’s 5-zip leather jacket: My favorite leather jacket as of late. SSENSE has it in dark grey, The Corner has them in blue, and Oki-Ni has it black. Use the code CYBER14 to get a 20% discount at The Corner and BLACKFRIDAY to get a 30% discount at Oki-Ni. You can pair the jacket with jeans and minimalist looking shoes. 
• Mr. Porter: And of course, Mr. Porter has select times available at 30% off. You can check out some of the finds I listed here.

Mr. Porter’s end-of-the-season sale just started. 30% off most items, which is automatically taken off at checkout. Some notable finds:

• Outerwear: Tons of great outerwear. Check out this shearling lined 5-zip leather jacket from Maison Martin Margiela, indigo sashiko coat from Blue Blue Japan, leather A-2 bomber jacket from Polo Ralph Lauren, field jacket and quilted bomber from Aspesi, tan bomber jacket and navy topcoat from AMI, navy Donegal bomber jacket from Private White VC, blue suede A-1 from Todd Snyder, and belted motorcycle jacket from Belstaff. Also worth checking out are these Mackintosh jackets and this J. Crew bomber. Judging from my experience with J. Crew’s other Wallace & Barnes products, the last one is probably a great value.
• Shoes: A few shoe brands are included in the sale, such as Quoddy, Heschung, Margiela, Yuketen, Car Shoe, and Common Projects. I also like these APC side zips and Raf Simons derbies.
• Knitwear: In the knitwear section, there’s a blue waffle knit from Blue Blue Japan, handsome burnt ochre sweater from Hardy Amies, chunky shawl collar cardigan from Ovadia & Sons, slouchy rollneck from Margaret Howell, and chunky navy crewneck from Our Legacy. Also not to be missed are the cashmere pieces from William Lockie and textured bubble-knit sweaters from SNS Herning.
• Shirts: Neat patchwork shirt by Neighborhood, red flannel shirts by Saturdays NYC and Ovadia & Sons, and a boiled wool overshirt you can use as a lightweight outerwear piece. Also, check out of some of the shirts by Ralph Lauren, Aspesi, Gitman Vintage, Alex Mill, Emma Willis, and J. Crew. The last has stuff for as little as $45.
• Jeans: Although Mr. Porter isn’t know for their denim, they do have some great jeans on sale. Check out the sections for APC, Levis Made & Crafted, Levis Vintage Clothing, and Jean Shop.
• Accessories: Lastly, there are some Lock & Co. caps, Drake’s ties and pocket squares, Bresciani socks, Anderson belts, Filson bags, and Trianon cufflinks.
  

Maison Martin Margiela’s German Army Trainers and Common Projects’ minimalist sneakers are on sale right now at Oki-Ni. Use the code MID25 to take 25% off the listed price, and then after you buy, email the store and ask them to remove VAT (assuming you’re exempt from European taxes, of course). The discount code will bring the listed price down to about $300, and VAT removal will bring them to about $240. 

Probably the lowest price you’ll find at this point for something like the Achilles Lows and GAT high-tops. 

Ralph Lauren just started their Friends & Family pre-sale promotion. That means select items have been discounted by 30%, but you can get an extra 15% off if you shop before the sale goes public. You have to hit the site through a special link, however, as the sale hasn’t yet been announced on the company’s main webpages. Once you do, you can use the checkout code MSALE14 to receive the discount.

Some items I think are notable:

• Outerwear: Ralph Lauren’s Polo Label has some nice looking outerwear this season. This B-10 bomber could serve as an alternative to the more ubiquitous A-2s and MA-1s you see everywhere. I also have an old version of this quilted jacket, which is a perennial for the company. I bought mine five years ago and still wear it today with jeans and chukkas. For something more affordable, check out this hooded anorak and nylon field jacket.
• RRL: Although they’re expensive, I’ve been really happy with my RRL outerwear. This season, they have a sueded ranch jacket, black leather moto, and Western-inspired quilted coat. I suspect the first two look better in person than in photos. For something more affordable, check out RRL’s shirts and knits. They have some indigo pieces in there, such as these two shirts, a henley, and a sweatshirt.
• Shoes: In the footwear section, there are some Allen Edmonds-made longwings and quarter brogues. There are also these ankle boots that look very, very Ralph Lauren. 
• Polo Label Shirts: Previously marked down items from last season are made cheaper through the current sale. For example, I saw two designs for madras shirts and some slim fitting Bengal stripes. Prices go as low as $33.
• Sweaters: Affordable Shetlands in lots of colors. You can probably remove those elbow patches with a seam ripper without any issue. Stitching holes rarely show up on wool – especially on something like a knit.
• Bags: Some canvas briefcases and carryalls. The canvas on these aren’t as heavy or rugged as Filson’s, but I like the designs. Just imagine the bags without those luggage tags (which are removable).
• Clearance: Some stackable discounts in the clearance section. There’s some Purple Label and RRL stuff in there, which you can see more easily if you sort the listings by highest price first.

End is having a great sale right now, where you can take 20% off (almost) everything in their store with the checkout code AUTUMN14. Included are lots of year-round items and things that don’t normally get discounted. Some things that I think are notable:

• Nigel Cabourn: Let’s get this out of the way. I think this might be the best piece of outerwear this season. Shape, material, and shearling lined hood are pretty much unbeatable. But yes, the price is painful.
• Barbour: Again, the Barbour stock seems to be hidden. The brand doesn’t show up on their sidebar, but it shows up if you do a manual search. This slim fitted Bedale, comes to $268 with the discount code, while this quilted Liddesdale is just $108. (Note, End will only ship Barbour items within the EU now).
• Buttero: Lots of Butteros for those who want a slightly more original take on minimalistic sneakers. I like these shaggy brown ones.
• Engineered Garments: This olive field parka looks like it has a great silhouette. I’ve also been finding my Engineered Garments fatigues to be really useful, thanks to inspiration from Gary Drinkwater. 
• Maison Martin Margiela: GATs in a ton of colors, including white and black. I own a pair of both, and the white ones might be some of the most useful sneakers I’ve ever owned.
• Nanamica: I know the price is rough, but I promise you this Gore-Tex jacket is great. The jacket takes on a nice three-dimensional shape when worn and you can use it as a casual raincoat when a mac or trench might be too dressy. 
• RRL: Lots of RRL stuff, including this antique print workshirt.  
• Common Projects: One of the best in minimalistic sneakers (if not at least the first). The discount code works on these white Achilles Lows and B-Ball Highs. 
• Elka: Casual, rubbery raincoats for folks who want an affordable alternative to Stutterheim. 
• Filson: Incredibly useful and versatile canvas briefcases. I use the tan 256 as one of my go-tos. 
• Howlin’ by Morrison: A slightly youthful take on traditional Scottish knitwear. I like their Donegals this season in tan, navy, and grey.
• Orlebar Brown: With End’s discount and free shipping, this is the lowest I’ve seen Orlebar Brown’s swim shorts go. I like the navy Bulldog model.
• SNS Herning: Textured knitwear that you can layer underneath coats to give them a slightly more interesting look.
• Superga: A failsafe and affordable buy for everyone who has sticker shock from what I listed above. I like the 1705s better than the 2750s, but both models are great with jeans or chinos.  

Brooks Brothers’ mid-season sale has started, coming almost a month earlier than usual. For the moment, you can take 25% off your order with the checkout code FF25. Some notable items I found:

• Footwear: Brooks’ footwear continues to be the highlight of their inventory. Star picks include these Alden penny loafers in shell cordovan and suede, some very versatile Norwegian split toes, and an absolutely knockout pair of suede cap toe boots (made by Crockett & Jones). Perhaps most notable? Certain models of Edward Greens are included in the promotion.
• Outerwear: These duffle coats and waxed field coats look pretty good. I have the second, but in a different color, and wear it with everything from grey flannel trousers to jeans. 
• Shirts: There are some nice looking flannel shirts this season, which you can pair with your tweed sport coats and corduroy jackets. I particularly like this navy plaid, bold checked tan, and mini-checked tan. The sale section also has some worthwhile Black Fleece shirts, such as this amazing tartan. And, of course, there are Brooks’ famous oxford-cloth button-downs, which are good for wearing with almost anything. 
• Luggage: As usual, Brooks’ sales are still the best time to get Filson luggage. 
• Sale section: Browse the sale section to stack discounts. There are some Peal chukkas that come down quite low with the promotion.
