End is having a great sale right now, where you can take 20% off (almost) everything in their store with the checkout code AUTUMN14. Included are lots of year-round items and things that don’t normally get discounted. Some things that I think are notable:
- Nigel Cabourn: Let’s get this out of the way. I think this might be the best piece of outerwear this season. Shape, material, and shearling lined hood are pretty much unbeatable. But yes, the price is painful.
- Barbour: Again, the Barbour stock seems to be hidden. The brand doesn’t show up on their sidebar, but it shows up if you do a manual search. Why that is, I don’t know, but the discount makes a number of really versatile Barbour pieces a bit more affordable. This slim fitted Bedale, for example, comes to $268 with the discount code, while this quilted Liddesdale is just $108.
- Buttero: Lots of Butteros for those who want a slightly more original take on minimalistic sneakers. I like these shaggy brown ones.
- Engineered Garments: This olive field parka looks like it has a great silhouette. I’ve also been finding my Engineered Garments fatigues to be really useful, thanks to inspiration from Gary Drinkwater.
- Maison Martin Margiela: GATs in a ton of colors, including white and black. I own a pair of both, and the white ones might be some of the most useful sneakers I’ve ever owned.
- Nanamica: I know the price is rough, but I promise you this Gore-Tex jacket is great. The jacket takes on a nice three-dimensional shape when worn and you can use it as a casual raincoat when a mac or trench might be too dressy.
- RRL: Lots of RRL stuff, including this antique print workshirt.
- Common Projects: One of the best in minimalistic sneakers (if not at least the first). The discount code works on these white Achilles Lows and B-Ball Highs.
- Elka: Casual, rubbery raincoats for folks who want an affordable alternative to Stutterheim.
- Filson: Incredibly useful and versatile canvas briefcases. I use the tan 256 as one of my go-tos.
- Howlin’ by Morrison: A slightly youthful take on traditional Scottish knitwear. I like their Donegals this season in tan, navy, and gray.
- Orlebar Brown: With End’s discount and free shipping, this is the lowest I’ve seen Orlebar Brown’s swim shorts go. I like the navy Bulldog model.
- SNS Herning: Textured knitwear that you can layer underneath coats to give them a slightly more interesting look.
- Superga: A failsafe and affordable buy for everyone who has sticker shock from what I listed above. I like the 1705s better than the 2750s, but both models are great with jeans or chinos.
