The best menswear deals this week span everything from trail-ready insulation to heavyweight cord jackets, with a clutch of sitewide sales running simultaneously across some of the more useful corners of the internet. Whether you are restocking basics or finally pulling the trigger on that piece you have been watching, the timing is decent.
Sitewide Sales Worth Knowing About
A handful of retailers are running broad discounts right now. REI has up to 50% off outdoor goods, from camping kit to hiking boots. Nike is offering up to 45% off footwear and clothing. Gap has an extra 50% off sale items at checkout, and Banana Republic is cutting sale styles by up to 60%. Levi’s is running up to 50% off denim, outerwear and shirting. Huckberry’s sale section carries outdoor gear and rugged clothing at up to 40% off. These are all listed as limited-time offers, so none of them are likely to sit around.
The Menswear Deals This Week Worth Your Attention
The standout for anyone who spends time in the hills is the Arc’teryx Atom Insulated Jacket, down from £280 to £197 (30% off) via REI. Low-profile enough to layer under a heavier shell during serious winter weather, it also works as a standalone mid-layer on shoulder-season days when you are not sure what the afternoon will throw at you. That kind of versatility is hard to find at any price.
The Patagonia Classic Retro-X Fleece Vest is half price at $94, down from $189, direct from Patagonia. A chunky, hardwearing vest layers well over a base and under a waterproof, and at that price it is worth picking one up as a spare for the bothy bag or the van.
For everything else on the list, the picks lean toward the kind of clothing that earns its keep across a range of settings. The Officine Générale Bene Merino Wool Half-Zip Polo Shirt is down 50% to $213 at Mr Porter. A 100% merino wool half-zip handles temperature regulation better than most synthetic alternatives and looks composed enough to wear off the hill without changing. The J.Crew Heritage Cotton Cable-Knit Sweater drops to $95 from $128, a solid all-rounder for layering when the temperature swings between mild and miserable over the course of a single day.
On the trouser front, the Gap Baggy Carpenter Jeans are down 31% to $62. Roomy enough to move in and robust enough for a working day outdoors, they pair straightforwardly with boots or low-profile trainers. The Abercrombie & Fitch Relaxed Herringbone Clean Cargo Pant is a smaller saving at 16% off, bringing the price to $80, but a well-cut cargo pant with actual usable pockets is never a bad call for active days.
The Todd Snyder Italian Wide Wale Corduroy Madison Jacket is the biggest markdown on the list at 51% off, dropping from $698 to $344. Wide-wale cord is thick enough to provide some warmth on cool evenings and looks considerably sharper than a fleece at the pub after a long walk. The Gap Relaxed Flannel Shirt at $48 (down from $70) covers similar ground at a fraction of the outlay.
For footwear, the G.H. Bass Berkeley Penny Loafer is down 31% to $110 at Nordstrom, and the New Balance 442 Elite Sneakers are 30% off at $83 via Lost & Found. The latter are flagged as an alternative for anyone who wants a less ubiquitous trainer than the obvious Samba-adjacent options currently dominating trail-café car parks.
The Raen Wiley REC Polarized Sunglasses round out the list at 30% off, or $154 via Huckberry. Autumn is a reasonable time to buy quality eyewear: the low sun angle on ridge walks and open water swims makes polarised lenses genuinely useful well into December.
