Abercrombie & Fitch’s seasonal sale is packed with up to 50% off goods. There’s plenty to sift through, including cozy knits, polished outerwear, and denim that rivals the best in your rotation.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Tricot Full-Zip Jacket

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

Abercrombie & Fitch

Relaxed Straight Jean

I was legitimately surprised when I first handled Abercrombie’s denim. In every respect it’s better than I expected. From the heavyweight denim to the clean construction to the tasteful distressing, it’s one of the brand’s sleeper hits no doubt.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Fireman Clasp Workwear Jacket

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

Abercrombie & Fitch

Baggy Jean

Tasteful denim washes are tough to find. The great ones are super expensive and the cheap ones look like they used a can of spray paint and a cardboard stencil. This one is somehow tasteful and not expensive.

Banana Republic: Up to 40% off

Banana Republic’s Black Friday event is offering 40% off full-price purchases, including cashmere. There’s plenty to love, but be sure to check out the leather and suede outerwear as well as the stellar knitwear.

Banana Republic

Italian Melton Wool-Blend Top Coat

A show-stopping top coat at an eye-popping price—and it only gets better when you start parsing that roomy fit and soft wool-blend outer.

Banana Republic

Loose Pleated Chino

Tell your flat-front pants to take a back seat, so you can slide into these glorious pleated chinos.

Banana Republic

Fairisle Merino-Blend Sweater Jacket

Add an understated layer of color to any of your fits with this full-zip fair-isle sweater jacket.

Banana Republic

Straight Flannel Pleated Dress Pant

Ready to cheer you up on the first mid-30s day of winter.

Everlane: Up to 50% off

We go to Everlane for the dialed-in basics—especially the generously cut T-shirts and easy knits—and this season their scarf game is hitting harder than you’d expect.

Everlane

Oversized Classic Tee

An oversized classic tee done right: soft, weighty cotton, a relaxed silhouette that hangs intentionally, and just enough slouch.

Everlane

Luxe Merino Crew Cardigan

A merino crewneck cardigan that offers warmth and endless layering possibilities. That’s a winter win-win.

Everlane

Cabin Scarf

Not much to say here. Just a great scarf you’ll wrap up in all season long.

Everlane

Filled Harrington Jacket

Everlane’s outerwear can be hit or miss, but this Harrington is a straight-shooter—clean, classic, and easy to wear with anything.

Filson: Up to 25% off

Filson’s serving up 25% off its hardest-wearing gear—think waxed jackets, woolen staples, and indestructible bags. We swear by the outfitter’s flannel shirts, but of course, a classic tin cloth waxed jacket would is the real prize.

Filson

Insulated Short Cruiser Jacket

The winterized version of one Filson’s all-time catalog classics (oiled Tin Cloth and a flannel lining are in play here) is discounted a whole lot at this very moment.

Filson

Vintage Flannel Work Shirt

Tis the season for flannel, and you really can’t go wrong with Filson’s heavily brushed option, especially at this price point.

Filson

Mackinaw Wool Work Jacket

Plaid can be hit-or-miss when it comes to outerwear, but a plaid this subued and harmonious is an absolute smash.

Filson

Bristol Cardigan Sweater

If they make ’em chunkier, it’s not by much.

Shop more: Best Filson Black Friday Deals

Huckberry: Up to 40% off

Huckberry’s gearing up for Cyber Week with early markdowns across its signature mix of outdoor gear, hardwearing boots, and home goods that bring rugged charm indoors.

Norda

001 Trail Running Sneaker

Trail running shoes should be tough, but it’s unclear if any are as tough as these are, because these are made with Dyneema and Cordura, which both happen to be nails tough and light af.

Norse Projects

Mads Travel Light Overshirt

Overpacking is one of life’s great joys—how else will you find out that you don’t like the shirt you never wore at home—but you could, theoretically, minimize your load by like three shirts with this one.

Jacques Solovière

Mark Zip Boot

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.

Corridor

Double Knee Carpenter Jean

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.

Shop more: Best Huckberry Black Friday Deals

J.Crew: Up to 50% off

J.Crew’s serving up early deals with up to 50% off select styles. It’s the perfect time to stock up on elevated basics, standout knits, and the brand’s newly revitalized tailoring.

J.Crew

Country Jacket

We’re not saying that J.Crew is coming for Barbour’s crown, but don’t be surprised if/when that happens.

J.Crew

Giant-Fit Chino Pant

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.

J.Crew

Lambswool Rugby Sweater

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.

J.Crew

Relaxed Double-Pleated Corduroy Pant

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.

Levi’s: Up to 40% off

For Black Friday, Levi’s is running 40% off with free shipping and returns. While it’s the perfect moment to level up your denim rotation, don’t sleep on the brands workwear shirts and outerwear.

Levi’s

Union Rugby Shirt

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.

Levi’s

568 Loose Straight Double-knee Carpenter Pants

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.

Levi’s

Original Housemark Sweater

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

Levi’s

505 Regular Fit Corduroy 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.

Madewell: Up to 40% Off

The latest beneficiary of the mall-brand renaissance is slinging superlative suiting, top-notch topcoats, and torso-swaddling sweaters for 40% less than they’d usually cost you.

Madewell

Zip-Front Jacket in Corduroy

You just do not see enough work jackets in corduroy.

Madewell

Fair Isle Crewneck Sweater in Heritage Merino Wool

Fair Isle is having a moment, and Madwell 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.

Madewell

The Devoe Knit Shirt

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

Madewell

Double-Pleated Trousers in Wool Blend

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

Shop more: Best Madewell Black Friday Deals

Mr Porter: Up to 50% off

Mr Porter, the lord of luxury menswear, is the place to shop if you’re after the most exclusive designer goods and finest craftsmanship. That said, it’s a huge help to your wallet they’re on sale for 50% off.

Dries Van Noten

Zip-Detailed Shell Bomber Jacket

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

Jil Sander

Striped Satin Shirt

The concealed buttons, the shimmering fabric—now I know why “The Moody Blues” wrote about nights in white satin.

Mr P.

Samuel Straight-Leg Cotton-Blend Twill Trousers

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

Barena

Straight-Leg Virgin Wool Drawstring Trousers

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

Shop more: Best Mr Porter Black Friday Deals

Nike: Up to 60% off

If there was ever a time to just do it, it’s now. Nike’s regular sale section is stacked with discounts up to 60% off sneakers, hoodies, and performance gear—no code needed.

Nike

Cortez Premium Shoes

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

Nike

Zoom Vomero 5 Shoes

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.

Nike

ACG Canwell Glacier Therma-FIT ADV Windproof Jacket

When it comes to beating back the wind, fleeces can be hit or miss. This one falls firmly in the former, which makes it considerably warmer than the more porous ones and ideal in the blustery conditions you’d normally want a shell for.

Nike

Life Flannel-Lined Barn Coat

Is a barn coat the first thing you think of when you hear the word “Nike”? Probably not, but it doesn’t change the fact that this is a damn good barn coat with a cozy flannel lining currently selling for under $225.

Nordstrom: Up to 50% off

From promotion-worthy office attire to slick sneakers to avant-garde fashion, Nordstrom’s got it all for up to 50% off.

NN07

Brett 6686 Stripe Organic Cotton Polo Sweater

Even polos are bulking up for the winter season. This chunky knit polo from indie menswear label NN07 has tons of texture and cozy relaxed fit for looking—and feeling—great all day.

Y-3

Tokyo Sneaker

Slim and streamlined, Yohji Yamamoto’s take on the Adidas Tokyo is one that’ll age gracefully in style and longevity. Twenty years from now, vintage dealers will be reselling these for a fortune.

Vince

Marin Boat Shoe

Yeah, I own a couple of boats.

Our Legacy

Bank Jacket

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.

REI: Up to 30% off

REI technically doesn’t hold an official Black Friday event, but that doesn’t mean they’re not slashing 30% off basically anything that might prove useful outside.

The North Face

Terra Peak Insulated Hoodie

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.

Patagonia

Natural Blend Retro Cardigan

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.

The North Face

ThermoBall Traction Mules V

Call them sleeping bags for your feet, call them podal puffers, call them whatever you want—just know that you’ll find an excuse to wear these daily if you have them nearby.

Keen

Jasper Zionic Sneakers

The iconic Jasper still crushes, but if you’re looking for a little (or a lot) more traction and some subtly upgraded technology, this particular remix is calling your name.

SSENSE: Up to 50% off

SSENSE’s Winter Sale is back, unleashing thousands of pages of designer grails—avant-garde oddities, luxury staples, and everything in between.

Mfpen

Generous Shirt

Indie Scandi label Mfpen knows how to take something as corporate and quotidian as a striped button-up and make it drool-worthy.

Port Tanger

Khilna Sunglasses

News flash: the sun is still out in winter. Not only will these honkin’ shades protect you from searing your retinas, they’ll make you look cool as hell too.

Diemme

Roccia Vet Sport Boots

Lady White Co.

Quarter Zip Track Jacket

The knitwear nobles at Lady White Co. not only have the best tees in the game, but they’ve also got the sickest quarter-zips on the market.

Timex: Up to 30% Off

Timex’s Cyber Week sale offers 30% off its entire darn site, from quartz-era bangers to a smattering of whimsical limited-edition collaborations.

Timex

Waterbury Metropolitan Sub-Second watch

Todd Snyder: Up to 30% off

Todd Snyder’s knocking 30% off with code BLACKFRIDAY, which means upgraded basics retro-leaning sweats, and polished outerwear for less.

Todd Snyder

Italian Wool-Silk Belted Topcoat

There’s never a bad time to save hundreds of dollars on a belted wool coat. Especially one that belts in a louche, dressing gown way, rather than a twee trench way.

Todd Snyder

Portuguese Flannel Shirt

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

Todd Snyder

Long Canvas Stable Jacket

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

Todd Snyder

Cyber Week FAQ

This year in the US, Black Friday is on Friday, November 28, a day after Thanksgiving. While that’s the official date, many retailers roll out deals throughout November. You can expect the biggest discounts to happen between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday, but be on the look out for retailers to launch sales early.

Cyber Monday lands on December 1 this year, the Monday after Thanksgiving. Most brands keep the deals rolling through the week—but don’t bank on it.

Are clothing deals better on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

Black Friday and Cyber Monday both deliver stellar clothing deals, but they play a little differently. Big-name retailers and legacy brands usually kick things off on Black Friday, while smaller menswear boutiques tend to hold their fire until Cyber Monday. Expect solid discounts starting around 20% off—and keep your eyes peeled for the coveted sale-on-sale action that’s become the norm in recent years.
