The Thursday Buy: Get Up to 25 Percent Off Stylish, Comfortable Menswear at Mack Weldon for Black Friday

Mack Weldon Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals.

If I’ve said it once this week, I’ve said it, well, a handful of times. The best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals on menswear have been debuting seemingly earlier than ever this year, and the chance at savings on your new favorite men’s style essentials is better than ever.

That goes for some of your favorite online menswear brands, including companies not necessarily known for their discounts. Take Mack Weldon, makers of some of the softest men’s T-shirts, the best men’s boxer briefs and the coolest chinos for men — among many other must-haves for your next #OOTD. They don’t offer up a sitewide sale like this all that often, so keep on scrolling.

Rest assured: The deal in question is one worth shopping, certainly. You can save up to 25 percent off (when you spend $300+), and that also includes other deals, like savings of 15% if you spend anywhere from $125-$300.

From super-soft French Terry hoodies to cashmere sweaters and even one of the best flannel workshirts, Mack Weldon has evolved into so much more than a brand that makes dependable, comfortable basics (although they still do quite the bang-up job at that, too). And it’s worth noting that ahead of the holidays, a refresh or restock on style essentials — and those top-drawer basics — is always a worthwhile decision.

Head over to Mack Weldon ASAP

Again, deals like this don’t come around all that often, and Mack Weldon knows how to grab your attention (and save you cash) with ultra-comfortable, go-anywhere picks. That mantra holds true even if “anywhere” is just a laidback weekend on your couch. Happy shopping and saving, my friends.

With so many hot, hot days rolling through August, it can be pretty difficult to figure out what to wear. At least in NYC, there’ve been times these past few weeks where it’s only suitable for a tank top and shorts. But what’s a guy to do when he wants to look sharp and presentable in the heat — yet maybe still wearing shorts? Easy. I present to you the OLIVERS Capital Short.  Although there’s not that much time left in August — and we’ll soon be into fall — it still pays to figure out ways to stay cool and look sharp no matter how hot it gets. I learned that all too well this past week, as I headed out to Las Vegas for three days of the renowned Liberty Fairs menswear trade show. It was fun, it was hectic and it was, needless to say, very hot. Thankfully, the OLIVERS Capital Short worked out more than fine for a long day of travel on Sunday, and navigating the city thereafter. Of course, that made ’em more than worthy of inclusion as this week’s Style Pick of the Week — and that makes ’em more than worthy of your hard-earned dollars and time. More often than not, you need pieces that work with you, and move with you, in the heat. That’s where the OLIVERS Capital Short is so impressive. And if you’re not familiar, I’d suggest you acquaint yourself accordingly.

The brand has built a following for the way they blend technical fabrics — like the nylon-polyester  blend of the Capital Short — with tailored silhouettes fit for the modern man. That goes for the brand’s Movement Kit, which was introduced earlier this year and includes the Capital Short. And pieces like the brand’s All Over Short further that mission, with neutral colors, trim fits and the versatility to be worn individually for everything from Sunday brunch to a trip to the beach. These shorts extend that mission — they feature all the bells and whistles of your favorite pair of chino shorts, including a tailored fit, belt loops (unheard of on athletic-blend shorts) and small details like side and rear welt pockets; it’s those sorts of touches that make these shorts wearable right now with a slim summer polo . They’d also be a wise packing addition on your next global road trip — seriously, they’re that comfortable and move that well. Pair them up with a slim white polo and leather loafers for a look that’s bit more preppy, or rock them with a slim pocket tee and your favorite pair of classic white sneakers the rest of the summer. Just don’t leave them in your drawer for too long — they’re a warm-weather essential.
