The Black Friday Menswear Deals Are Better Company Than Your Relatives

Life is a marathon. This is the track jacket for it.

The fireman clasp trend is as hot as ever and few are as good as this one, especially for the price.

Thanks to the Gore-Tex Windstopper fabric, these are entirely windproof and water-resistant.

The LD stands for ‘Long Distance’—a clue that these are some comfy sneaks.

Cop these, and you’ll never have to worry about sudden showers or muddy parks.

This fabric as much a winterized madras as it is a classic flannel, but either way it’s preposterously soft and dumb cozy.

Blundstone saw its rise in popularity almost a decade ago, but that doesn’t mean it’s still not a great boot, especially if you can grab a pair on sale.

One of the best in the entire sid-zip genre have the potential to solve multiple boot-related quandries with a single order confirmation number.

Loose, not baggy; faded, not thrashed; just hardy enough for the winter but not too stuff for the summer…might as well call these Box Checkers.

A pant that’s as classic as they come these days. Relaxed and surprisingly easy to style, it’s the big-legged upgrade your everyday pants lineup needs.

We would never play rugby in such a gorgeous sweater. But if these were the team uniforms, we’d have to show up for tryouts at least.

Corduroy is pretty much requisite for the cooler months and there are few better options than this pair. Thick luscious wales of super plush corduroy, deep double pleats, and a perfectly relaxed silhouette make ’em drool-worthy.

A boatneck sweater! Something we do not see enough these days.

A Beanie so beloved, we’re surprised to see it on sale.

Bring back the glory days of ’90s style with this striped rugby. Pair it with baggy chinos or jeans and a pair of canvas sneakers and you’re an instant ’90s baddie.

Don’t forget, Levi’s began as a real-deal workwear brand. And though it may be less common on a construction site, it still makes some sick, burly goods like these double-knee carpenters pants.

A buttery pair of cords is essential for fall style. Slammed together with five-pocket jean details from the OG and you’ve got some cords that look less stuffy.

Freddy Krueger was actually a pretty sharp (heh) dresser.

You just do not see enough work jackets in corduroy.

Fair Isle is having a moment, and Madewell made sure to offer up this more subtle option. It still has that pattern we all know and love, without the more abrasive color options.

A touch of polyester makes this even softer, and the pattern would be a great swerve with a dark suit.

You don’t have to be Jacob Elordi to wear wool slacks everywhere, and with everything.

The bomber jacket is having a moment. Owning a relaxed-fit one from Dries? That’s eternal, baby.

Relaxed, natural, and ready for a warm-weather vacation.

To misquote Flannery O’Connor, a good pair of casual wool slacks is hard to find.

The Cortez has actually been around a decade longer than the Air Force 1, and somehow hasn’t aged a day in 53 years.

A few factors can impact how comfortable a sneaker is, but none of those factors apply to the Vomero because it’s one of the most comfortable rides you could ever dream of.

Yeah, I own a couple of boats.

Before you say this is yet another vintage dupe, please notice the length, the gathering at the hem and the pitch-perfect wash and then reconsider, because none of those will fit like this will.

A vintage-style flannel done right: thick cotton yarns, great plaids, and spot-on colors—exactly the sweet spot that’s hard to find in old ’60s and ’70s shirts. This is where Polo really shines.

Buying beat-up Carhartts off an actual workwear guy is peak cosplay. Just grab a solid pre-distressed pair and call it a day, folks.

Aran-knit wool sweater with a roll neck and a full-on American flag splashed across the front, all in a dark heathered charcoal.

There’s a polo icon ball cap everyone knows and owns. And there’s this.

The hoodie moniker you’re seeing is based on the profile of this jacket—which is slimmed-down and layer-friendly—but don’t let that fool you, because something like this is built to withstand conditions far worse than a February commute.

One of the most universally beloved fleece’s in history hasn’t aged a day, but that price tag is very much on a timer.

A killer three-season flannel destined for some serious wear for the foreseeable future.

Zero shade to Todd, but this has the incredible cut, perfect fabrics, and exquisite tones of today’s cult-favourite Japanese designers.

Our favourite affordable cashmere sweater, now even more so.

For the days that jeans alone just won’t cut it.
