UK clothier End might be the only webstore that rivals Mr. Porter in terms of selection. They start their end-of-season sale today, where you can take 25% (almost) everything with the checkout code SALEPREVIEW. Some notables include:
- Outerwear: There’s some really great outerwear from Aspesi, Ten C, and Nanamica. Battenwear is worth a look if you want a hooded parka that’s slightly slimmer fitting than what you might get from Sierra Designs. There’s also a large selection from Barbour, although only certain models can be shipped to the United States.
- Nigel Cabourn: One of my favorite designers. I’m really bummed End didn’t pick up this season’s tan Aircraft jacket in a size 36.
- Sneakers: Lots of nice, minimally designed sneakers from ETQ, Buttero, and Common Projects. There’s also a great selection from Nike, as well as a couple of basic German Army Trainers from Maison Margiela.
- Rainwear: I really like Mackintosh, although if you want something more casual, there are some nice models from Elka and Stutterheim.
- Basics: For the kind of warm minimalism I wrote about a few months ago, you can check out APC, Norse Projects, and MHL.
- Workwear: Yea, yea, yea, blog’s name and all. Anyway, there’s a nice selection of workwear this season from RRL, Orslow, and Levis Vintage Clothing. Neighborhood also has some nice flannels, while Engineered Garments has some outerwear.
- Knitwear: Check out the textured knitwear from Inverallan and SNS Herning. Last season’s fall/ winter stock has been heavily discounted.
- Bags: Head Porter’s designs can be a little funky, but I like their simpler models, such as this Tanker briefcase. Master Piece is also worth a look for backpacks (I was kind of tempted by this one last night).
- Orlebar Brown: The pared down designs and adjustable side tabs on these swim shorts make them look a little more refined than the loud, drawstring models you see elsewhere.
- Comme Des Garcons: A great niche label for fragrances, although you might want to be familiar with the scents before buying online. For what it’s worth, I wear Wonderwood (which smells woody) and 2 (which smells inky).
- Sunglasses: For summer, there’s a nice selection of sunglasses from Randolph Engineering and Persol.
- Sale stock: Also worth a look is End’s already discounted sale selection. The sale code doesn’t seem to stack, although the discounts are pretty good already.
