Mehra, a young footwear retailer based in Vancouver, is having a sale that includes many brands that aren’t often discounted. Mehra’s prices seem pretty competitive at full MSRP, so the discounted prices are quite good if you’re in the market for top-tier footwear. […]
It’s On Sale: the Suitsupply Outlet
Suitsupply – the tailored clothing brand that I’ve talked about at length before – isn’t known for having sale prices on their site, but they do run online outlet sales from time to time. They often show up somewhat unpredictably and stock moves fast, but for those that are ready there are many good deals to be had.
South Korean Tailoring in San Francisco
South Korea wasn’t a place I associated with tailored clothing until a couple of years ago, and my curiosity has only increased in the time since then. Bespoke tailoring houses like B&Tailor and Vanni have been tempting me with beautiful pictures of their garments – very Italian-inspired pieces, always in tasteful fabrics with truly impeccable fits. […]
It’s On Sale: Minimalist Adidas Sneakers for $32
I’m not much of a sneaker guy, but my current lifestyle (which could generously be called “work from home,” at best) has made them an easy choice for everyday footwear. In doing some research on which pair to scoop up for the summer, I stumbled upon a pretty solid deal. […]
Now Available: Carmina x Massdrop Semi-Brogue Oxford
When I was working with Allen Edmonds to develop the ideal chukka boot last year, I was feeling a bit nervous. There was a lot riding on the project’s success and it felt like a pretty big gamble at the time. I hadn’t done any projects of that scale and I wasn’t sure how the product would be received, […]
It’s On Sale: 50% Off Founders Footwear
I imagine that some of you have heard of Founder’s Footwear, a shoe brand that launched last year. The company offers Blake-rapid welted shoes made in Italy, and has a small collection of core styles. While the ~$300 price does put them in the same realm as some other young shoe brands (although Founders does include shoe trees and free returns/exchanges, which is notable), they’re currently having quite the sale. […]
FSTB Turns Five
We made it another year! Time really flies, doesn’t it? Over the past year I’ve had a bit less time to write, but I’ve enjoyed putting together the pieces that did go up. From checking out great new products to touring tanneries and meeting shoemakers and finally writing something about my “essentials”, there have been a lot of fun […]
It’s On Sale: Lots of Things at Club Monaco
It’s been a while since I wrote about a sale here, but it seemed like this was worth mentioning. One of the great things about Club Monaco is that besides having a solid line of in-house core pieces like chinos, sweaters, and outerwear, they also have a wide selection of third party merchandise. The latter […]
Items For Sale in the FSTB shop
It’s been a few years since I’ve done any real closet cleaning, so here’s the first of what will likely be several rounds of selling off some great pieces. This round is mostly shoes and a pair of great trousers. Check it out if you like: shell cordovan in rare colors handwelted shoes Crockett & […]
A Welcome Update: J. Crew Ludlow Suit with Wider Lapels
J. Crew has been in the news a fair amount lately, and not for great reasons. Like many other mid-market retailers, J Crew has felt the sting of declining sales and an increasingly uninterested customer base. It felt like the company could do no wrong six or seven years ago, but not much has gone right for […]
