Deals Around the Net: Open Thread

[Jamie]

I open the deals thread, and I see deals for $400 and $500 shoes and boots...that must mean either we are definitely out of recession, or we are heading back into one.

Agreed. Some of you guys must have fairly sizeable clothing budgets.

I'm not saying I can afford those Meermin boots, but they are (or were, anyway) a good deal for a shell cordovan boot, which can often run several hundred more. Its a deal in the sense that its cheaper than comparable alternatives - but not compared to the Stafford Deacon. I think some of the posts here have been for what many would consider "grail" items - those items that are highly desired and many consider worth saving up for, like an Alden Indy boot, etc.

Exactly. There's no maximum item value for this thread. Most of us aren't buying everything we post, but I share these deals with the community in case somebody has been looking for that particular item. And people end up buying more often than you think

Another deal:
The Knottery: "GOBBLE" takes 25% off any purchase, including sale items I believe. Be aware that shipping is $5.99 and will negate most of your discount if your purchase is fairly small, like mine was. Kind of disappointing but it's still money saved.

Ludlow Sportcoat in Japanese Chambray is down to $59 on JC's website(code:HOLIDAY). Very versatile and unconstructed sportcoat for warmer months.
I believe Joe reviewed the other sportcoat (cotton version, also down to $59) in one of his previous posts.
EDIT: Nevermind, he mentioned this one as well:

Myself am really thinking about finally getting a grown-up laptop bag / briefcase. Anyone have thoughts on this: http://surplus.jackspade.com/on/dema...=bags&start=13

That's fair. I wasn't trying to say you shouldn't post that kind of stuff. It was more along the lines of "damn, that is some serious coin to drop on a pair of shoes."

And to keep things on topic, this from the AE Shoebank:

The contrasting collar and brown chunky buttons killed it for me. They're even cheaper in store, if you're interested.

My JC's store's mens section is a size of a small walk-in closet, so I am almost exclusively dependent finding good deals for men on their website. I did get the micro cotton one, and I like it.

do you remember how much was it in their store?

Quick deals roundup:
Yoox 20% off w/ YOOXGIVING (no restrictions I believe)
Paul Stuart: donate any suit, sportcoat, topcoat, or winter outerwear that's in clean, wearable condition and receive $200 credit toward same-day purchase of any F/W tailored clothing or outerwear. Benefits a nice charity. Don't cheap out and give the ugliest JAB suit you find at Goodwill guys - the people who need these goods can do that also.
Twillory: Multibuy 2 shirts for $99 and 4 for $199 (codes 2SHIRTS and 4SHIRTS)
Mr Porter: 30% Off select items, discount applied at checkout

There's a ton over at PTO but I wanted to highlight one more, Dapper Classics - save 20% on all neckties and trousers. Trousers are made in USA in Brooklyn, by which I assume they mean made by Hertling. I recently bought a pair of Hertling-made trousers and think they're fantastic. The prices are going to be the same as Howard Yount but given the horrendous customer service/returns issues people are facing w/ HY, I think Dapper Classics may be a great alternative. I have no experience w/ them.

What is a Founders Circle sale? I don't see any sale mentioned on their main page.
