[SALE50 = Extra 50% off Bonobos Final Sale Items](
Curse the final sale clearance season! So many enormous markdowns. So many “I 100% could wear this now” pieces. But if it’s final sale (which all of it is here,) then all of that enthusiasm is tempered by the idea that you could get stuck with a dud. If it doesn’t fit quite right or it doesn’t feel quite right? Your only hope is to recoup some costs by selling it on eBay. [And lordy I hate eBay](.
So WHO’S READY TO GAMBLE?!?! Picks below were limited to items with at least a decent size selection at post time. [And Bonobos has added a lot to their sale section]( since we last checked in. Again, it’s all final sale. No returns. Off we go.
[Italian Performance Wool Blazer – $175]( FINAL ($500)
[Bonobos Italian Performance Wool Blazer](
Ooh. Hello. Smarter than a spelling bee champ on scholarship. Wrinkle resistant, stain and liquid repellent, fully lined, double vent in the rear, and lightweight construction. Sleeve cuff buttons are non functioning for easier tailoring.
[Jetsetter Stretch Wool Suit Jacket]( & [Matching Trousers – $150 – $185]( FINAL ($600)
[Bonobos Jetsetter Stretch Wool Suit](
- [Nathaniel Navy Stripe Jacket]( & [Matching Trouser – $150]( FINAL ($600)
- [Gavin Steel Grey Windowpane Jacket]( & [Matching Trouser – $150]( FINAL ($600)
There are a LOT of colors/patterns on sale, but most sizes are sold out. That said, there are a few combos (shown above) that do have a good size selection at post time. I mean, as long as it fits (since it’s final sale and can’t be returned) one could do a lot worse than $150 for a Bonobos stretch wool suit.
[Washable 100% Merino V-Neck Sweater – $39]( FINAL ($88)
[Bonobos Washable 100% Merino V-Neck Sweater](
Full disclosure: I have zero experience with these sweaters. I’ve had terrific luck with Goodthreads (which aren’t washable). But, could be worth the final-sale-risk if you need to replace a snagged or stained or just plain worn out sweater from your wardrobe for the rest of the season. Sizes are limited though. Lots of XS, S, XL, and XXL. Not a lot of medium or large available. [Also available in crewnecks](.
[Flannel Lined Chinos – $44]( FINAL ($118)
[Bonobos Flannel Lined Chinos](
“What’s with the smirk?”
“You have NO idea how cozy it is, inside my pants.”
“I beg your pardon?”
[Unconstructed Italian Wool Sportcoat – $140 – $180]( FINAL ($400 – $450)
[Bonobos Unconstructed Italian Wool Sportcoat](
- [Caleb Blue Houndstooth – $180]( FINAL ($450)
- [Oliver Solid Burgundy – $140]( FINAL ($400)Â
- [Carter Twill Blue Plaid – $180]( FINAL ($450)
Wouldn’t be a Bonobos sale post without some on-sale unconstructed Italian wool sportcoats. But they are, in fact, all that and the proverbial bag of chips. Select colors and sizes are moving fast.
[The M-Flex Golf Polo – $24]( FINAL ($68)
[Bonobos The M-Flex Golf Polo](
Too early to think about golf? Probably not, depending on where you live. Plus, they just make for great polos, and the micro rose print is on-trend without being too goofy. There are other colors/patterns up for the sale too, but sizes seem to only be plentiful in the rose option.
[Jetsetter Stretch Wool Blazer – $180]( FINAL ($450)
[Bonobos Jetsetter Stretch Wool Blazer](
A bit more structure compared to the totally unstructured sportcoats, but still hardly some weighty stiff thing. Stretch wool. Pockets for your passport and other travel goods. Super comfy. Select colors/patterns only. Sizes are scattered.
[Travel Jeans – $39]( FINAL ($98)
[Bonobos Travel Jeans](
Just those three colors shown above are getting the cut, but, they’re not too far off the beaten path.
[Washed Button Down T-Rex Shirt – $24]( FINAL ($78)
[Bonobos Washed Button Down T-Rex Shirt](
[RAWWWWWR](. [Whimsy](, man. I’m thinking everyone [is just so sick]( of everything being so serious and all the outrage (which itself gets us nowhere, have you noticed?) and all the bad news that we’re all like, “F*ck it, I’m gonna dress like I’m headed to kindergarten. PULL UP A CARPET SQUARE AND LEMME TELL YOU A STORY.”
[The Stretch Italian Wool Topcoat â $149]( FINAL ($498)
[Bonobos The Stretch Italian Wool Topcoat](
Quite debonair. Peak lapels, but theyâre not aircraft carrier wide. Nice and subtle.
[Tech Blazer – $120]( FINAL ($400)
[Bonobos Tech Blazer](
This could be either a big-time winner at $120, or an enormous disaster. The reviews are promising at least. Tech fabric that’s made up of 84% Nylon and 16% Spandex. Totally unlined. Four way stretch. Available in two shades of navy. Yes you read that right.
[Wool Cashmere Scarf – $39]( FINAL ($98)
[Bonobos Wool Cashmere Scarf](
Less risky than the rest, simply because it’s not like a scarf can’t “fit”. Unless you do some weird Borat mankini style action with it, and if that’s the case, very nice.
[Italian Twill Stretch Chinos – $44]( FINAL ($118)
[Bonobos Italian Twill Stretch Chinos](
For cooler/colder weather. Not lined in flannel or anything though. “Stretch cotton weighted for cooler seasons.” Garment washed for softness.
[Wool Blend Trench Coat â $164]( FINAL ($548)
[Bonobos Wool Blend Trench Coat](
Toothy. Dead simple in shape and design, so thatâs why you can get away with a louder pattern like a big houndstooth.
[Made in the USA Italian Brushed 5-Pocket Pant â $49 – $59 FINAL]( ($148)
[Bonobos Made in the USA Italian Brushed 5-Pocket Pant](
Super soft. Made in America from Italian brushed 97% cotton / 3% elastane.
[Bonobos Italian Wool Car Coat â $134 – $159]( FINAL ($448)
[Bonobos Italian Wool Car Coat](
I’m guessing at this point in the season, you probably have a coat you like. But that’s also why these are marked down so much. Car Coats = single breasted, and often a tad shorter than your average topcoat, but still long enough to protect your suit or sportcoat tail.
[Stretch Italian Trousers – $44]( FINAL ($148)
[Bonobos Stretch Italian Trousers](
Seems to be a casualty of Bonobos making too many kinds of pants. Like, what are these? They’re pants of course. They look like nice pants! But Bonobos makes so many types of nice pants that I think these got lost in the noise. Premium cotton twill milled in Italy from the Manteco Mill
[The Wool Cashmere Peacoat â $199]( FINAL ($498)
[Bonobos The Wool Cashmere Peacoat](
Dang it. A big time (personal) want, but… that’s a lot to risk. Could be an amazing find. Could be a two hundred dollar albatross. Six button front = perfect for everything from sweaters + jeans to suits (itâll be long enough to cover your jacket tail). Sherpa collar is removable, for those times when you want to stand out a little less. Water repellent 70% Wool, 20% Polyamide, 10% Cashmere fabric.
The extra 50% off final sale items code SALE50 runs clear through next Thursday 2/13. But I’m guessing the good stuff is gonna go pretty quick.

Sales that deserve some attention heading into the weekend or a bit earlier. Five of the better sales are below, plus bonus sales if need be. Included are a few picks worth pointing out.Â
[Huckberry: Valentine’s gift shop for Her + (Shipping deadline = Fri.)](
[Huckberry](
- [Baloo Weighted Blanket – 15 lbs – $142.98]( ($169)
- [Made in the USAÂ Julia Szendrei Three Words Necklace – $46.98]( ($58)
- [Grown in the USA UrbanStems White Orchid – $85](
- [Made in the USAÂ Smithey Ironware Co. No. 8 Cast Iron Chef Skillet –Â $100](
- [Tivoli Audio Model One Digital Speaker – $299.99](
- [Julia Szendrei Red Garnet Mineral Necklace – $37.98]( ($48)
For those who happen to have a lady valentine. Friday 2/7 (that’d be tomorrow) is the last day you can order and still get it delivered in time for Valentine’s Day. Want more Valentine’s Day ideas? [Head here for some picks/idea starters from Sarah and Amber](.
[Nordstrom Rack: Lots of new arrivals](
[Nordstrom Rack](
- [adidas Grand Court Suede Sneaker – $49.97]( ($65)
- [adidas Questar Flow Running Shoe –Â $57.97]( ($75)
- [Citizen 44mm Perpetual Calendar Eco-Drive Chronograph Watch – $189.97](
- [Hamilton 42mm Khaki Pilot Automatic Watch –Â $449.97]( ($895)
- [Hamilton 40mm Jazzmaster Swiss Automatic Croc Embossed Leather Strap Watch – $459.97]( ($925)
- [Hamilton 37mm Jazzmaster Swiss Automatic Croc Embossed Leather Strap Watch – $359.97]( ($700)
So Nordy Rack is pretty much the last stop for merchandise that regular Nordstrom stores carry. And thus, when winter clearance season comes to a close (which is like, now…) you get a fresh injection of heavily marked down stuff. Such as those Hamilton watches. Note that unless you can get it to a physical Nordstrom Rack store, returns through the mail will cost you a $5.95 prepaid shipping label.
[Banana Republic FACTORY: They’re now doing Core Temp Chinos – $58](
[Banana Republic Factory](
Hang on a second. BR FACTORY is now doing core temp? They say they’re “exclusively made” for BR Factory, and the fabric is almost identical in terms of blend: 56% cotton, 40% polyester, 4% spandex ([BR Factory Core Temp]() vs. 55% cotton, 39% polyester, 6% spandex ([BR Mainline](). BR usually excludes their Core Temp from many (not all, many) codes and promos. So could the factory option be another way? Efforting an in person review.
[DROP: Hugo Boss Foldable Sunglasses – $55]( ($296)
[Hugo Boss Foldable Sunglasses](
Sunglasses that fold up upon themselves like this are crazy convenient. [Persol made ’em famous](, but these are quite affordable. Final sale of course. Note that these frames are blue. Not black. Lens width is 53mm, which is right in the wheelhouse for many face sizes. Estimated ship date is February 28th.
[Bonobos: Extra 50% off Final Sale items w/ SALE50](
[Bonobos](
- [The Stretch Italian Wool Topcoat â $149]( FINAL ($498)
- [Italian Performance Wool Blazer â $175]( FINAL ($500)
- [Flannel Lined Chinos â $44]( FINAL ($118)
- [Tech Blazer â $120]( FINAL ($400)
Separate post coming quite soon with full picks. Seems as though Bonobos has added more than a handful of new items to the sale section. Final sale of course though.
Also worth a mention:
- [J. Crew]( 40% off select tops, tees, sweatshirts, etc. w/ SHOPNOW
- [Todd Snyder](//www.toddsnyder.com/collections/sale): Check your mailbox. No not that one, the one where a letter carrier delivers actual mail to it. You should have a single use, $100 off $300 code lurking in there/on the back cover.
- [Suitsupply]( Lots of [new spring arrivals are in](.
- [Allen Edmonds](: 30% off select boots.

[Love is in the air⦠everywhere I look around.](
Amiright? With divided politics, the division between genders, divided⦠well, it feels like everything right now, that sentiment might be hard to believe.

[A taco is just a taco (and how that can change your life)](r/Dappered/~3/2oJSPPPQ02I/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email)

I saw this “donuts are the devil but tacos are king!” message on a white board at my gym the other day, and I was struck by how hugely flawed this type of thinking is (especially at a “health” club). Sure, it’s just a throwaway line written on the board in the group class/bootcamp room, but it still registered with me. Mainly because [I’m all too familiar with this flawed thinking myself](.
A doughnut isn’t the devil. A doughnut is just a doughnut. A taco isn’t king. A taco is just a taco. Just like a pair of shoes is just a pair of shoes. Or a watch is just a watch. Or a pricey leather bag is… just a pricey leather bag. No more. No less.
The problem here is that the more you elevate or demonize a thing, the greater the chance you can be controlled by it. You have “thought” it into a totally artificial, undeserved, powerful state of being.
And we humans do this all the time.
[A taco is just a taco (and how that can change your life) | Dappered.com]
[Ceci n’est pas une… taco](
Things, on average, are hugely overrated. Listen, I get it. I really like things too. If I didn’t, this tiny website that you’re reading right now wouldn’t work. But the truth is, the joy ceiling on a taco in isolation is enormously low. As is the joy ceiling on a new pair of shoes. Or a new shirt.
I mean, it’s a shirt. “Ooooh new shirt. YAY shirt! Something to cover my nipples! Nipples are bad. I’m a filthy mammal!”
It’s not really about the things. [It’s the actions]( around the taco or the shoes or the shirt that make us really happy. Remove the taco, still do the things you would have done around the taco (say, meeting up with friends) and [you quickly realize how unnecessary the taco is](. The things are often irrelevant to happiness, if not outright counter-productive ([such as eating too many tacos, alone, in front of Netflix]().
And it’s a real pain in the butt, but [our brains often confuse things with actions](. Like tacos = friendly happy fun time. Or nice clothes = successful cool sexy time.
But this just isn’t true. And through that confusion we artificially elevate or demonize the thing. We give enormous amounts of power to something that’s otherwise totally inert. And by giving a thing that power, we take the power away from ourselves.
[This is King Taco | Dappered.com]
The watch or the shoes or the suit won’t ask for the raise. Or get the date with the smoke-show eyeing you up from the bar. You have to do that. The taco doesn’t prevent you from exercising. Nor is it forcing you to avoid eating nutritiously. You have the power to do those things. The taco sure doesn’t. It’s just a taco. How do I know you can do it? All of it? All of the things? Because our brains our powerful enough to artificially elevate a taco to a position of power which downright scares plenty of us. That’s true power. [You just have to re-purpose it](.
Get over the taco. See the shoes, the shirts, and the watches for what they are. They are tools. Totally useless unless they’re serving you (certainly not sabotaging you) in pursuing or doing something that truly brings you joy.
You have to do the things. The thing can’t do the things for you. And until it can, it’s best to stop elevating it upon an artificial power pedestal.
Because the higher up you put it, the more power it’ll have. And the more power it has, the lower you’re gonna feel.
Now pass me the Cholula.
Enjoyed this sorta crap post? [Head here]( to sign up for more like it.
Some of you have said you’d read more of this sort of thing.
Or don’t. I understand if you think this is dumb.
