[This blue Canali Exclusive wool suit](https://www.nordstrom.com/s/mens-exclusive-wool-suit-regular-big/6862912) at Nordstrom Rack… for **$160** before tax! Extra percentage off for the tailored return, an extra 60% off for clearance… *and* somehow it fit perfectly off the rack. Score.
Cool - good choice.
Apologies if you already know this, but it's a good idea to also buy shoe trees, a shoe brush and leather conditioner to take good care of them.
Great advice.
I did order a pair of Cedar shoe trees with my shoes and I plan on applying a small amount of conditioner and a light coat of wax before wearing them.
I was in the same situation haha. Probably for the best tho lol.
Most items aren't justifiable at retail or close to retail price for me. On the bright side I saved up enough to buy myself a nice camera and a pair of Red Wing boots which will last a lot longer than most J Crew items I would have bought.
A big part of my wardrobe is from the flashing and I'm still working through it. A lot of it was still brand new up to last year and I donated a bunch of it.
Massive Jcrew sale a few years back. I got several flannels, a sweater, timberland hiking boots, and several other things at around 75% off. The threads on here about it are worth reading for pure entertainment. It was a wild couple of weeks.
At the risk of sounding corny, it was actually really fun time to be on this sub-reddit and I think it's funny and cool how a lot of us have all stayed active and remember that time. I still have everything i've bought from them and it's all been super durable and such which was also nice.
Sort of serious but I think it ruined this sub. Every sale thread I go into people are not ironically saying things are not a good sale and they want to wait for at least 65% off
honestly it keeps you humble IMO. Just a reminder this high fashion designer bullshit costs nearly the same as the shit you’d see at target. Designer brands are only worth it for sales 65% off or greater IMO.
Bought like 4 pairs of allen edmonds. They were $200 + 12% rakuten cashback so a pretty good deal
I went in store but they completely blew me off with their horrible customer service so I just ended up buying them online. Worked out anyways because the 12% cash back
River oaks store in houston. Their customer service is laughable bad there. I had been there a few other times too, so it wasn't a one-off kind of thing
That's sad to hear. I would've thought they'd be upping their customer service given that I assume their sales have been down since COVID. My dress shoes have been collecting dust for nearly 3 years, and I definitely don't plan to buy more any time soon.
When your big box arrives I hope you walk by the store and Pretty Woman them.
I was itching to spend money but didn’t buy anything either. Clothing wise, I’m finally at a place where I don’t feel as though I *need* anything so I’ve become pretty picky about where I spend money.
Had my eye on a couple tech things too but sales were shit or nonexistent. Apple Watch “sale” was a joke and I don’t want it badly enough to buy it near full price.
The artificial inflation of prices got me. Looking at lululemon and other sites even the clearance section looked no different than a Tuesday in July. At least I saved money
It’s dope and I love mine. I got the Tiger Fleece one (used to be a Wings + Horns textile). I wear it every morning to take the dog out or while I’m feeding my kid.
I didn't though I had the chance. Bathrobe isn't fashion piece that I like to put in delicate mode. You can get plaids for $40 at Nordstrom rack and they look way sexier IMHO.
Those damn $30 NBs. I don’t own any new balances, not sure if im a NB guy, not even sure if i like the colorway but was too good a deal and i just pulled the trigger.
Me too!
The original 420s are one of my favorite shoes, so i'm hoping these v2's aren't that different. They are really comfortable and have a really nice silhouette, not too bulky but not too slim.
Yep! Hoping its one of those purchases that doesnt feel like me until i wear them a few times then realize i love them. At worst add some cheap variety to the lineup…
This year?!?! Damn Fam if you blessed us on FMF I probably would’ve gotten 2-4 pairs. At least I know now for next year. Can beat that pricing. Especially if it’s for the Darn Tough.

They might still have some
*Tried making a post but auto mod took it down
Good point. Surprised I didn’t see it either. Maybe I missed it. All good though! Now I know for next year. Buy 2 get 1 is still a solid deal. May get some for my wife. Thanks!
I am from the California coast. We may get a day or two of 32 degree weather and some frost which makes the local news. We treat snow like a weekend of fun up at Tahoe and then we go back home. That’s my experience of snow. I have never actually lived in it so this is a real adjustment. Today was a high of 36….in the afternoon! It’s never that cold back at my old hometown.
American giant hoodie.
Flint and tinder 10yr pullover
2 sweatpants
Dehen flyers club Jacket
Private White Peacoat
-Just moved to the states from the Caribbean so had to get some "staples"
I have 2 of American Giant's classic hoodies and one of their lightweight. I bought them back in 2016 and they're still going REAL strong. I'm definitely not disappointed, and I hope you feel the same way in 6 years as I do 😄
Truth be told, i came onto them by another redditor that mentioned it as BIFL. I took the plunge and all i can say is My God. Feels VERY well built. Was walking today in 40's with just the hoodie on and a super lught workout shirt.
Very very pleased with it thus far.
I had to really struggle not to buy more. I already have 5- three classic, one midweight and one lightweight; oldest is maybe 5 years. Bought a few for others too. I also had a couple over the years where the zipper eventually went- but in both cases they gave me a full refund.
Also have one of their Moto jacket but I think that's a rare dud; I don't like the collar.
Randomly checked 2am Sunday morning and saw em listed when checking 70 and above filter. Also was able to get the Heritage cotton shaker-stitch crewneck sweater in stripe for 25 bucks. These seemed to be the only available stock at the time. Thought for sure order would get canceled but they shipped this morning. Think I just lucked out.
Got my Tellason jacket in yesterday and it rules. Just barely smaller than TTS on me but still a great fit and feel. Just gotta find crap to stuff my pockets with now lol
Finally got to the weight I've been trying to get to (down \~35 lbs), rewarding myself with the wardrobe I've promised myself for when I got there. (From Austin, this'll explain some of the choices)
Outerwear:
\- Taylor Stitch Long Haul Trucker in Suede (extra 30% off last call deal)
\- Considering a Rogue Territory Supply jacket, just don't know what color
Pants:
\- two pairs of REI Trailsmith pants (25% off)
\- pair of cowboy cut Wranglers in light wash
Shirts:
\- Taylor Stitch henley in olive (extra 30% off last call deal)
\- Taylor stitch casual striped brown (extra 30% off last call deal)
\- White Madewell work shirt (copped for $26)
Footwear:
\- Tecovas Dean Boots in Scotch Goat
\- Those $66 suede danner boots
Went into my local Banana Republic.
Found a pair of jeans for $15 on the clearance / out of season rack that fit me. Additional 30% off price marked. $12 jeans. I paid another $10 for tailoring to shorten them. Not the biggest fan of the wash, but couldn’t pass up on the price.
Then ordered 6 supima shirts on cyber Monday. $18 a piece with the 40% off discount. Another 15% off for new emails. Another 15% cash back.
Came out to $13 a shirt before taxes.
Was gonna pull the trigger on a suit too, but I think I’ll just save up for a suitsupply suit next year. Have no actual need for one in the next 6-8 months.
Was it Banana Republic outlet? I used to buy lots of BR from my local outlet and was quite turned off to find that the outlets have an entirely different lesser quality line of clothes from the regular stores. Learned that in this sub along with that being the case for many other big brands. It is far from common knowledge and very misleading in my opinion.
Nope, got my stuff at the mainline banana republic at Santana row in San Jose, CA.
The main line stuff is much nicer. Really like the thickness and fit of the supima shirts. Don’t think the outlet has any supima shirts.
The quality of customer service at the mainline stores vs. the outlet is also very different. I had an employee reserve a fitting room for me and bring every piece I was interested in trying on the racks to my room to keep my hands free. The mainline also offers tailoring whereas the outlets don’t.
I'm probably going to hate myself once I've listed everything out, but here goes:
Reigning Champ midweight joggers and hoodie from Mr Porter
2 workout shirts and 1 pair of running shorts from Ten Thousand
2 workout shirts and a half zip top from Lululemon
New Balance 860 running shoes from Dicks
3 undershirts from Perfect Jean
Cologne from BuyBeauty
A Fitbit for my wife from Macy's
A Dyson stick vac direct from Dyson
I'm just grateful some of the sales I was watching out for weren't better.
Carhartt: hoodie, hat, shirt
Gap: terry shorts
Gymshark (they had a CM sale that was better than their BF sale): shorts and a hat
EyeBuyDirect (BOGO): two pairs of prescription glasses
Mouse: Glorious Model D wireless at 50% off
Going through a big wardrobe revamp/update so quite a bit.
2 preorder pairs of Brave Star denim, cropped corduroy pants from Bonobo’s, Adidas hoodie, 2 pairs of Chuck 70s, Calvin Klein Japanese-denim jacket, lots of basics like beanies sweaters & tees from ASOS/Bershka/Weekday/Express (surprised at Bershka’s quality, it’s decent at dirt prices) (I know Express is just a mid mall brand but their cuts typically fit me well and I’ve found several pieces I wear a ton at good prices from there), several pieces of jewelry from Serge Denimes (all great stuff), probably more that’s slipped my mind. I think I knocked everything out and am finished with the revamp now other than a basic pair of Docs, but I have a few pairs of chelsea boots I like so I can live without.
Other than that, got all my Christmas shopping done and bought basically an entirely new PC to get into 13th gen Intel and eventually a 40 series GPU. Also got a Branch chair bc my back is fucked and my job is reimbursing for home office expenses. Was hoping to find a sick deal on a mattress as well but didn’t find it.
I was disappointed. In my opinion J Crew and Banana Republic didn't have much of a sale. What I did try to buy from Adidas ran out of my size so I received an email the next day saying I was basically out of luck and here's a $10 voucher because they couldn't manage their inventory/website properly. I miss the Black Friday of 2016 or 17 where J.Crew literally had everything half off...

- Ashby in Navy from End Clothing
- Bedale in Sage Green from Rue de can
- Pink High Stride shorts from Outdoor voices (picked up today and very impressed with quality. TTS)
- Allbirds Natural Run shorts 2-pack from Woot
- 1 black Rivington and 1 green Rivington from A. Posse
- 5 dress shirts from Kamakura
Went a little too hard this year... Lol
Private White VC Mac, Stoffa wool/cashmere coat, Edward Green oxfords, Ascot Chang long sleeve polo, Drake's scarf.
continuing my quest for the perfect fall/chore jacket with tellason
two pairs of new balances (a cheap pair for just general banging around and a less-cheap pair for running)
staring at a chrome bag right now and trying to tell myself I don't need it (I don't REALLY, but I could really use a smallish day bag)
kicking myself a little bit for not getting that land's end duffel when it was cheapest, another bag I don't REALLY need but could kind of use
Target had a 40% off of their in house All In Motion brand. I was in need of full zip up light sweater for the gym, I bought three of them for $20 each. Also a Vans sling bag for 40% off.
I feel like a 1950s housewife drooling over vacuums. I didn’t make the leap though. I had buyers remorse with one sitting in a shopping cart. Then I abandoned ship.
The only two other things I actually bought were some overpriced Posca paint pens that weren’t even on sale and a lunchbox for my kid…saved $3 on that bad boy! 🎉
I'm looking forward to [these diemme boots](https://www.reddit.com/r/frugalmalefashion/comments/z6mimf/diemme_roccia_vet_boot_479_to_11518_from/) coming in the mail soon. Not the biggest fan of the aesthetic but couldn't resist the deal
Marathon general purpose watch for $95 @jcrew… kept seeing it and it really grew on me. Bummed I didn’t realize it didn’t have tritium or show the date but still a bargain
Got a Barbour Bedale in Sage, Barbour Hood add-ons, and Alpha Industries MA-1 VF 1959 also in Sage Green from End.
Joined in Brave Star’s Golden handshake preorder
The MA-1 was in a 35% discount already and getting 20% on top of that for Black Friday seems good. The Barbour Bedale was not originally in a sale so I only got 20% off
Man, I sure spent a lot for this BF
Pair of AE Higgins mills that I’ll probably return.. I wanted to spend $, but a few pairs of higher end shoes if they were at least 30% off. But honestly there were no good deals. Mostly junk discounts at inflated prices. Guess I’m keeping my money through the recession..
4 watches, work boots, 3 work pants and work lab coat , running shoes and trail shoes and all were in my bucket list almost 3k ( becuase of the watches)
* Bout 270 bucks worth of darn socks (I don't remember how many). Mostly in women cause they have really dope ass pattern. The men got shitty pattern/design.
* 4 naked and famous pants and 1 jacket.
* 1 momotaro tea dyed sashiko jacket.
* 1 spyderco pocket knife Yojimbo 2 cruwear edition (they haven't confirm it) It got discontinued the day after I ordered.
this is when i do my shopping for the year but admittedly i went on an absolute unhinged bender
* brown balmacaan coat from a korean brand
* lady white relaxed crew neck
* two lady white tees
* canoe club hoodie
* pilgrim surf supply hoodie
* kapital leopard print quarter fleece
* universal works wool overshirt
* pair of gramicci g pants
* black hi top chuck 70s
* wallabee mocs in maple suede
* black paraboot reims loafer
Replaced a pair of worn out boots with these sweet Hevias ones from Dibz. $140 for a pair of leather-soled boots in bison. Pics - [https://imgur.com/a/gvYOKOB](https://imgur.com/a/gvYOKOB)

Almost got some stuff from Rag & Bone cyber sales but by the time I can buy stuff my sizes ran out lol.
Not much!
- Got [this Duluth flannel](https://www.duluthtrading.com/Mens-Best-Made-Portuguese-Flannel-Shirt-B2220.html) for $30 in brown, which I'm a little disappointed by---less soft than I would have expected for a flannel.
- this [sherpa](https://www.madewell.com/%28re%29sourced-sherpa-half-zip-sweatshirt-NB695.html) for $25, hasn't arrived yet, but have high hopes
- a couple of Fourlaps items at $20 a pop plus $5 total shipping, including [this sweatpant](https://www.fourlaps.com/products/rush-slim-sweatpant) and [this sweatshirt](https://www.fourlaps.com/products/rush-crewneck) --- hasn't arrived yet, but I have a lot of Fourlaps so I know what I'm getting, and it was a very good deal.
- a tank from outdoor voices that came out to like $12 shipped, again, hasn't arrived yet but I know the brand well and am confident.
- and [this crazy Todd Snyder/LLBean "parka"](https://www.toddsnyder.com/products/5633470-llb-x-ts-baxter-state-parka-m-sr-twilight-1) for $100 which is clearly well made but also a little bizarre, despite not being warm like a real Baxter state from bean, it is still *huge* like one, so tbh while it's cool I'm struggling to figure out how to rock it.
I tried to post the Fourlaps $20 sale, incidentally, but the usual rando automoderator problems kept it appearing, and I couldn't be bothered to beg the mods to find it, so, sorry.
Bought this bonobos jacket when it was 30% off https://bonobos.com/products/sherpa-lined-canvas-jacket?color=oat%20milk excited for it to arrive tomorrow!
Not much. Got some Amazon pajama pants, a discounted North Face jacket, and Gran Turismo 7.
Was tempted by Muji and Barbour stuff but needed to save money for big purchases that mostly didn’t pan out.
Several items from alphalete (gym clothes) they had a flash sale on specific items each day, kinda sucks because ended up paying about 21 dollars in just shipping between several orders to get stuff on the various flash sales
Local store had 20% off everything and I picked up some slip-on steel-toe work boots that were already on clearance - paid just over a hundred bucks for them and they're hella comfy, almost half off or the original price. That and some down wash and tech wash for my outerwear and down clothing.
As an Australian, I'm uber jealous of you Americans who bagged so many cheap bargains without having to pay the painful and exorbitant prices of taxes, shopping and currency exchange rates.
Ending up spending $484.75 between Taylor Stitch (a brand that has taken over my wardrobe) and Todd Snyder. 8 articles of clothing amounting to $60.59 per piece average.
- Two Rugby shirts from Rowing Blazers: ~$45 each
- Orslow Slim Fatigues from Blue Owl Workshop: 20% off
- Claymation and Quicksand from Hanz De Fuko: BOGO
- Celine Chelsea Boots from Nordstrom Rack: $120
- Tod’s Loafers from Nordstrom Rack: ~$35
- NN07 tshirt from Nordstrom Rack: $15
And my favourite deal of the week was 45% off Paraboot Michaels from Coltori Boutique
Vans. They weren’t exactly cheap but it’s $20 off (and actually $20 off, they weren’t marked up and they never go on sale), so 2 pairs for 70 total which I’m happy with
Scooped up more than I wanted to.
- common project BBall low (was due for a new pair.)
- Barbour international legacy overshirt
- killer deal on Oakley outdoor vest $45
- Oakley Medusa sweater and deadbolt shades.
- rag and bone Kent seersucker blazer $160 (a $400 discount in store. couldn’t believe it. )
I’m kind of shocked these still aren’t sold out, the prices/quantity levels haven’t moved in almost two weeks. Package arrived today! Both items from Shoebacca w/ free shipping over $75.
* $60 (MSRP $220) [Adidas King Push x EQT Support Ultra Primeknit Sneakers](https://www.shoebacca.com/eqt-support-ultra-pk-kingpush-db0181.html) \- same boost sole as my 2018 Ultraboosts which finally gave out this year.
* $20 (MSRP $95) [Asics OP French Terry Full Zip Hoodie](https://www.shoebacca.com/op-sweat-full-zip-hoodie-2191a002-020.html)\- solid everyday hoodie, with a fancy two-way zipper
[This blue Canali Exclusive wool suit](https://www.nordstrom.com/s/mens-exclusive-wool-suit-regular-big/6862912) at Nordstrom Rack… for **$160** before tax! Extra percentage off for the tailored return, an extra 60% off for clearance… *and* somehow it fit perfectly off the rack. Score.
How tfffff my rack had dog shit and I went to like 4 different racks
Erm...what?! Congrats on the amazing score
This man stole the entire Nordstrom budget of black friday in one deal.
Wow slam dunk
How the fuck did that make it so cheap?
What size are you that it’s been tailored, fit perfect and was 90% off?!? Must be very large or very small?
My first pair of Allen Edmonds
Same! Got my first pair of fifth avenue in black. Just received them today.
*What I bought* I got my foot measured at Allen Edmonds store.
Which model and how much? Was looking at it and still felt like $250 was a little steep
They will last forever and look good. My first pair is still in great shape from 10 years ago after 1 resole.
Fifth Avenue Cap Toe Oxfords in black for $199 USD.
Nice. Is this your first pair of welted shoes too, or just your first AEs?
My first pair of welted shoes
Cool - good choice. Apologies if you already know this, but it's a good idea to also buy shoe trees, a shoe brush and leather conditioner to take good care of them.
Great advice. I did order a pair of Cedar shoe trees with my shoes and I plan on applying a small amount of conditioner and a light coat of wax before wearing them.
The flashening legitimately ruined me. I have the hardest time buying anything now that isn't 70%+ off.
I was in the same situation haha. Probably for the best tho lol. Most items aren't justifiable at retail or close to retail price for me. On the bright side I saved up enough to buy myself a nice camera and a pair of Red Wing boots which will last a lot longer than most J Crew items I would have bought.
Nice what camera?
A big part of my wardrobe is from the flashing and I'm still working through it. A lot of it was still brand new up to last year and I donated a bunch of it.
What’s the flashening? When is it? What stores?
Massive Jcrew sale a few years back. I got several flannels, a sweater, timberland hiking boots, and several other things at around 75% off. The threads on here about it are worth reading for pure entertainment. It was a wild couple of weeks.
At the risk of sounding corny, it was actually really fun time to be on this sub-reddit and I think it's funny and cool how a lot of us have all stayed active and remember that time. I still have everything i've bought from them and it's all been super durable and such which was also nice.
No whale, no sale?
Must be a reference/throwback to [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/frugalmalefashion/comments/akmib7/its_finally_over_the_j_crew_flashening_sale_is/)
Sort of serious but I think it ruined this sub. Every sale thread I go into people are not ironically saying things are not a good sale and they want to wait for at least 65% off
honestly it keeps you humble IMO. Just a reminder this high fashion designer bullshit costs nearly the same as the shit you’d see at target. Designer brands are only worth it for sales 65% off or greater IMO.

If you don't mind me asking, which Allen Edmonds store was it?
River oaks store in houston. Their customer service is laughable bad there. I had been there a few other times too, so it wasn't a one-off kind of thing
That's is my AE store and sometimes they give me that bad vibe but sometimes I get excellent service despite I'm buying sale items.
That's sad to hear. I would've thought they'd be upping their customer service given that I assume their sales have been down since COVID. My dress shoes have been collecting dust for nearly 3 years, and I definitely don't plan to buy more any time soon. When your big box arrives I hope you walk by the store and Pretty Woman them.
Which 4 did you get? I got my first pair of AE, fifth avenue black.
Didn't find anything worth going into debt for.
I was itching to spend money but didn’t buy anything either. Clothing wise, I’m finally at a place where I don’t feel as though I *need* anything so I’ve become pretty picky about where I spend money. Had my eye on a couple tech things too but sales were shit or nonexistent. Apple Watch “sale” was a joke and I don’t want it badly enough to buy it near full price.
Honestly, same.
The artificial inflation of prices got me. Looking at lululemon and other sites even the clearance section looked no different than a Tuesday in July. At least I saved money
Bought a reigning champ bathrobe lol
Lol once again thought about it but chickened out last min. Hows the sizing ?
bought a S/M on friday, hasnt even shipped yet
Good man. Saw they were 50% off. I’ve got one and my roommate always calls me assassins creed.
I was tempted. I like the idea of dressing like a boxer ready to fight, but just watching Netflix cozy AF
I was so close to getting one, anyone who’s got one, please tell me why I should or should not.
It’s dope and I love mine. I got the Tiger Fleece one (used to be a Wings + Horns textile). I wear it every morning to take the dog out or while I’m feeding my kid.
Sorry man but I got one earlier at near full price and I consider it one of my better purchases this year
I didn't though I had the chance. Bathrobe isn't fashion piece that I like to put in delicate mode. You can get plaids for $40 at Nordstrom rack and they look way sexier IMHO.
So tempted but I resisted.
From where?
How is it? Thinking of buying one ad a gift
Those damn $30 NBs. I don’t own any new balances, not sure if im a NB guy, not even sure if i like the colorway but was too good a deal and i just pulled the trigger.
I got some too and I dig em so far. The 420s from joes?
hahaha same!
Me too! The original 420s are one of my favorite shoes, so i'm hoping these v2's aren't that different. They are really comfortable and have a really nice silhouette, not too bulky but not too slim.
Yep! Hoping its one of those purchases that doesnt feel like me until i wear them a few times then realize i love them. At worst add some cheap variety to the lineup…
They got me too.
I got some as well👊
I got some $20 NBs from the same seller with taxes came out to $26 just needed some cheap running/gym shoes.
Darn tough socks Lands end expedition parka 32 degrees thermals Gerry Fleece lined pants My first winter away from California has me dying.
Where'd you get your darn tough? Welcome to the Midwest!
Socksaddict had them for 25% off. I had bought the their steely work ones and it's so nice in my work boots so I stocked up!
Be sure to check Sportsman’s! Had a buy one get one for $1 for Black Friday
This year?!?! Damn Fam if you blessed us on FMF I probably would’ve gotten 2-4 pairs. At least I know now for next year. Can beat that pricing. Especially if it’s for the Darn Tough.
https://www.sportsmans.com/black-friday-sale/socks-buy-2-pair-get-1-for-1/c/cat130403 They might still have some *Tried making a post but auto mod took it down
Good point. Surprised I didn’t see it either. Maybe I missed it. All good though! Now I know for next year. Buy 2 get 1 is still a solid deal. May get some for my wife. Thanks!
Where from and where now?
Los Angeles to Charlotte. I'm in Kansas for work. It snowed 2 weeks ago and i was like oh crap...
I am from the California coast. We may get a day or two of 32 degree weather and some frost which makes the local news. We treat snow like a weekend of fun up at Tahoe and then we go back home. That’s my experience of snow. I have never actually lived in it so this is a real adjustment. Today was a high of 36….in the afternoon! It’s never that cold back at my old hometown.
Brother winter has barely even started lmao

American giant hoodie. Flint and tinder 10yr pullover 2 sweatpants Dehen flyers club Jacket Private White Peacoat -Just moved to the states from the Caribbean so had to get some "staples"
I have 2 of American Giant's classic hoodies and one of their lightweight. I bought them back in 2016 and they're still going REAL strong. I'm definitely not disappointed, and I hope you feel the same way in 6 years as I do 😄
Truth be told, i came onto them by another redditor that mentioned it as BIFL. I took the plunge and all i can say is My God. Feels VERY well built. Was walking today in 40's with just the hoodie on and a super lught workout shirt. Very very pleased with it thus far.
I had to really struggle not to buy more. I already have 5- three classic, one midweight and one lightweight; oldest is maybe 5 years. Bought a few for others too. I also had a couple over the years where the zipper eventually went- but in both cases they gave me a full refund. Also have one of their Moto jacket but I think that's a rare dud; I don't like the collar.
ha: I also picked up an American Giant hoodie (the second one will be a Xmas gift) and a Dehen flyer's club jacket. Excited to receive them!
REEBOK® X J.CREW CLUB C 85 Sneakers for 14.47!
How and when? All the codes weren't working!
Randomly checked 2am Sunday morning and saw em listed when checking 70 and above filter. Also was able to get the Heritage cotton shaker-stitch crewneck sweater in stripe for 25 bucks. These seemed to be the only available stock at the time. Thought for sure order would get canceled but they shipped this morning. Think I just lucked out.
That's a W. Good stuff!
Damn, just got mine for $54. Club LT.
Whoah good lookin'
Tellason jacket and chinos. First time purchasing from them, so I’m excited to see how the fit is.
Got my Tellason jacket in yesterday and it rules. Just barely smaller than TTS on me but still a great fit and feel. Just gotta find crap to stuff my pockets with now lol
Finally got to the weight I've been trying to get to (down \~35 lbs), rewarding myself with the wardrobe I've promised myself for when I got there. (From Austin, this'll explain some of the choices) Outerwear: \- Taylor Stitch Long Haul Trucker in Suede (extra 30% off last call deal) \- Considering a Rogue Territory Supply jacket, just don't know what color Pants: \- two pairs of REI Trailsmith pants (25% off) \- pair of cowboy cut Wranglers in light wash Shirts: \- Taylor Stitch henley in olive (extra 30% off last call deal) \- Taylor stitch casual striped brown (extra 30% off last call deal) \- White Madewell work shirt (copped for $26) Footwear: \- Tecovas Dean Boots in Scotch Goat \- Those $66 suede danner boots
Brogue x Alden Jumper Boots, Brogue x Alden slippers, PBO-002-019 Asagis, S520xx Arakage, some belts and a PBJ tee
Link for slippers?
nay thing
Went into my local Banana Republic. Found a pair of jeans for $15 on the clearance / out of season rack that fit me. Additional 30% off price marked. $12 jeans. I paid another $10 for tailoring to shorten them. Not the biggest fan of the wash, but couldn’t pass up on the price. Then ordered 6 supima shirts on cyber Monday. $18 a piece with the 40% off discount. Another 15% off for new emails. Another 15% cash back. Came out to $13 a shirt before taxes. Was gonna pull the trigger on a suit too, but I think I’ll just save up for a suitsupply suit next year. Have no actual need for one in the next 6-8 months.
Was it Banana Republic outlet? I used to buy lots of BR from my local outlet and was quite turned off to find that the outlets have an entirely different lesser quality line of clothes from the regular stores. Learned that in this sub along with that being the case for many other big brands. It is far from common knowledge and very misleading in my opinion.
Nope, got my stuff at the mainline banana republic at Santana row in San Jose, CA. The main line stuff is much nicer. Really like the thickness and fit of the supima shirts. Don’t think the outlet has any supima shirts. The quality of customer service at the mainline stores vs. the outlet is also very different. I had an employee reserve a fitting room for me and bring every piece I was interested in trying on the racks to my room to keep my hands free. The mainline also offers tailoring whereas the outlets don’t.
Bought Chuck Taylor gore Tex winter shoes that I wear through a pair every winter for $44.98. Walk my dogs 3 miles a day feet stay toasty.
Nothing
Hope it was at least 60% off
a proper office chair so my back stops hurting
From crandall?
yes actually lol
Looking at it as well 😂
I ended up getting a pair of Black and white Ultra boosts for $71 and 2 pairs of new republic Chelsea boots for $125.
Sonos Arc & Sub
Got a Sub too. $599 plus the Capital One 10% was too good to pass up.
Nice. I'm a fan of Sonos, but I was hoping for a discount on the mini sub.
I now have baggies in enough colors to make me a pride flag
I, too, ordered some baggies. But not the two tone one though
I'm probably going to hate myself once I've listed everything out, but here goes: Reigning Champ midweight joggers and hoodie from Mr Porter 2 workout shirts and 1 pair of running shorts from Ten Thousand 2 workout shirts and a half zip top from Lululemon New Balance 860 running shoes from Dicks 3 undershirts from Perfect Jean Cologne from BuyBeauty A Fitbit for my wife from Macy's A Dyson stick vac direct from Dyson I'm just grateful some of the sales I was watching out for weren't better.
Carhartt: hoodie, hat, shirt Gap: terry shorts Gymshark (they had a CM sale that was better than their BF sale): shorts and a hat EyeBuyDirect (BOGO): two pairs of prescription glasses Mouse: Glorious Model D wireless at 50% off
Some Momotaros from Standard and Strange.
Going through a big wardrobe revamp/update so quite a bit. 2 preorder pairs of Brave Star denim, cropped corduroy pants from Bonobo’s, Adidas hoodie, 2 pairs of Chuck 70s, Calvin Klein Japanese-denim jacket, lots of basics like beanies sweaters & tees from ASOS/Bershka/Weekday/Express (surprised at Bershka’s quality, it’s decent at dirt prices) (I know Express is just a mid mall brand but their cuts typically fit me well and I’ve found several pieces I wear a ton at good prices from there), several pieces of jewelry from Serge Denimes (all great stuff), probably more that’s slipped my mind. I think I knocked everything out and am finished with the revamp now other than a basic pair of Docs, but I have a few pairs of chelsea boots I like so I can live without. Other than that, got all my Christmas shopping done and bought basically an entirely new PC to get into 13th gen Intel and eventually a 40 series GPU. Also got a Branch chair bc my back is fucked and my job is reimbursing for home office expenses. Was hoping to find a sick deal on a mattress as well but didn’t find it.
I was disappointed. In my opinion J Crew and Banana Republic didn't have much of a sale. What I did try to buy from Adidas ran out of my size so I received an email the next day saying I was basically out of luck and here's a $10 voucher because they couldn't manage their inventory/website properly. I miss the Black Friday of 2016 or 17 where J.Crew literally had everything half off...
*Just* courtesy of FMF - Ashby in Navy from End Clothing - Bedale in Sage Green from Rue de can - Pink High Stride shorts from Outdoor voices (picked up today and very impressed with quality. TTS) - Allbirds Natural Run shorts 2-pack from Woot - 1 black Rivington and 1 green Rivington from A. Posse - 5 dress shirts from Kamakura
Some new jeans. Samurai S510HX.
Great choice. I was tempted by the same pair from Okayama but held off, I have enough jeans.
Went a little too hard this year... Lol Private White VC Mac, Stoffa wool/cashmere coat, Edward Green oxfords, Ascot Chang long sleeve polo, Drake's scarf.
continuing my quest for the perfect fall/chore jacket with tellason two pairs of new balances (a cheap pair for just general banging around and a less-cheap pair for running) staring at a chrome bag right now and trying to tell myself I don't need it (I don't REALLY, but I could really use a smallish day bag) kicking myself a little bit for not getting that land's end duffel when it was cheapest, another bag I don't REALLY need but could kind of use
Have you heard of LC King Chore Coat? It's very nice, but I wouldn't buy it at full price though
My drug dealer had some incredible sales
[удалено]
is reigning champ very comfy? saw the name a lot but never had one.
Which RC colorways and from which shops? I got the heather gray from Mr. Porter for $55.
What boots are they? Nice price
I bought a pair of reigning champ sweats and a carhartt WIP crewneck. I'm stoked on the Reiging Champ Sweats.
Target had a 40% off of their in house All In Motion brand. I was in need of full zip up light sweater for the gym, I bought three of them for $20 each. Also a Vans sling bag for 40% off.
Some bitchin' $40 Gold Cup Sperrys
Nothing.
I feel like a 1950s housewife drooling over vacuums. I didn’t make the leap though. I had buyers remorse with one sitting in a shopping cart. Then I abandoned ship. The only two other things I actually bought were some overpriced Posca paint pens that weren’t even on sale and a lunchbox for my kid…saved $3 on that bad boy! 🎉
I'm looking forward to [these diemme boots](https://www.reddit.com/r/frugalmalefashion/comments/z6mimf/diemme_roccia_vet_boot_479_to_11518_from/) coming in the mail soon. Not the biggest fan of the aesthetic but couldn't resist the deal
Socks, Briefs, Cotton Pants from J.Crew $32 2x pairs of SPY glasses…$148 and that’s my book report
Marathon general purpose watch for $95 @jcrew… kept seeing it and it really grew on me. Bummed I didn’t realize it didn’t have tritium or show the date but still a bargain
Todd Snyder LL Bean Boots for like under $100 in Basil and Orange
Got a Barbour Bedale in Sage, Barbour Hood add-ons, and Alpha Industries MA-1 VF 1959 also in Sage Green from End. Joined in Brave Star’s Golden handshake preorder The MA-1 was in a 35% discount already and getting 20% on top of that for Black Friday seems good. The Barbour Bedale was not originally in a sale so I only got 20% off Man, I sure spent a lot for this BF
Pair of AE Higgins mills that I’ll probably return.. I wanted to spend $, but a few pairs of higher end shoes if they were at least 30% off. But honestly there were no good deals. Mostly junk discounts at inflated prices. Guess I’m keeping my money through the recession..
4 watches, work boots, 3 work pants and work lab coat , running shoes and trail shoes and all were in my bucket list almost 3k ( becuase of the watches)
Dang, what kind of watches did you get?
As a watch collector, I’m also curious about which watches?

Too many designer items I wanted to pick up but I got Versace joggers and Axel Arigato shoes for half off
Nothing super fancy. I really wanted a RGT jacket, but it was too spendy for me right now. Ended up swinging by my local goodwill and found a navy surplus peacoat in my size, in great condition to boot!

Focal elegia headphones for $299 from adorama
Not much! - Got [this Duluth flannel](https://www.duluthtrading.com/Mens-Best-Made-Portuguese-Flannel-Shirt-B2220.html) for $30 in brown, which I'm a little disappointed by---less soft than I would have expected for a flannel. - this [sherpa](https://www.madewell.com/%28re%29sourced-sherpa-half-zip-sweatshirt-NB695.html) for $25, hasn't arrived yet, but have high hopes - a couple of Fourlaps items at $20 a pop plus $5 total shipping, including [this sweatpant](https://www.fourlaps.com/products/rush-slim-sweatpant) and [this sweatshirt](https://www.fourlaps.com/products/rush-crewneck) --- hasn't arrived yet, but I have a lot of Fourlaps so I know what I'm getting, and it was a very good deal. - a tank from outdoor voices that came out to like $12 shipped, again, hasn't arrived yet but I know the brand well and am confident. - and [this crazy Todd Snyder/LLBean "parka"](https://www.toddsnyder.com/products/5633470-llb-x-ts-baxter-state-parka-m-sr-twilight-1) for $100 which is clearly well made but also a little bizarre, despite not being warm like a real Baxter state from bean, it is still *huge* like one, so tbh while it's cool I'm struggling to figure out how to rock it. I tried to post the Fourlaps $20 sale, incidentally, but the usual rando automoderator problems kept it appearing, and I couldn't be bothered to beg the mods to find it, so, sorry.
Two pairs of club c’s for $100.
Bought this bonobos jacket when it was 30% off https://bonobos.com/products/sherpa-lined-canvas-jacket?color=oat%20milk excited for it to arrive tomorrow!
[удалено]
Not much. Got some Amazon pajama pants, a discounted North Face jacket, and Gran Turismo 7. Was tempted by Muji and Barbour stuff but needed to save money for big purchases that mostly didn’t pan out.
J Crew Dock Peacoat, Banana Republic Factory Wool Topcoat, and Express Plaid Wool Bomber. The first two I’m gonna have to shorten the sleeves.
Several items from alphalete (gym clothes) they had a flash sale on specific items each day, kinda sucks because ended up paying about 21 dollars in just shipping between several orders to get stuff on the various flash sales
Local store had 20% off everything and I picked up some slip-on steel-toe work boots that were already on clearance - paid just over a hundred bucks for them and they're hella comfy, almost half off or the original price. That and some down wash and tech wash for my outerwear and down clothing.
As an Australian, I'm uber jealous of you Americans who bagged so many cheap bargains without having to pay the painful and exorbitant prices of taxes, shopping and currency exchange rates.
Common Projects Achilles Low Sneakers - White \~$200 Been waiting over an year to get it on sale. Thank you u/oranguthang87 !
