Shopping the A.P.C. Sale: Top Picks for the Men

As promised, here's my roundup of menswear finds from the A.P.C. sale currently in progress. Hit the brick-and-mortars for the best selection, but there are deals to be had online as well. I decided to limit this post to items under $200. While you ogle the discounted goods, I'm going to dump The Wizard of Oz (I've already watched it one and a half times today) for Inglourious Basterds. Bf gave it to me as a nondenominational holiday present (for an unofficial holiday which shall henceforth be known as "Khanmas") and yes, I gifted him with a copy of the very same for one of his Hanukkah presents -- funny story.

Striped pullover sweater, now $140 (was $200), shown in dark indigo/ecru stripe. Also available in dark indigo/violet stripe.

 

Flecked cardigans are all the rage these days, apparemment. Cardigan, $175 (was $250). Available in beige/multicolored (top) and anthracite (bottom).
 
 



Narrow plaid shirt in chestnut brown/navy, $85 (was $170). Also available in black/grey and navy blue/white.



"Boy" shirt in blue plaid, $119 (was $170), shown in blue plaid. Also available in red plaid and brown plaid.




Wool web belt in grey, $45 (was $90). Also available in black and red.
 


Tennis shoes in grey, $140 (was $200).

Gentlemanly Pursuits

I got in late last night from DC and was too exhausted even for Mad Men.  I passed out, let DVR do it's magic, managed to avoid hearing any spoilers all day, and just crawled in bed to watch. I'm suddenly craving sharp ties and pocket squares.  Blackbird has just what I like.

A nice navy/black/teal scheme. APC Cravate Club, $70.


I love the bright blue handle on this Badger Silver Tip Shave Brush by Baxter, It's a bit pricy at $75, but makes more sense when you consider that it doubles as a chic sinktop accoutrement.





It's a shame summer is over.  I'd love to see this chambray pocket square adorning a beautiful, warm weather suit. Save it for next year? Hill-Side Selvedge Chambray Pocket Square, $42.
