@ Banana Republic’s Friends & Family sale. One black wool three-button suit blazer, black wool flat-front suit pant and the refined-dot tie… 30% off. YAY.

Tonal Paisley Tie | $59.50

Amazon – The Dress Shirt Group has 60% off discontinued designer shirts. Free shipping.
Techbargains comes through again. I picked up 3 Kenneth Cole, 1 IZOD, and 2 Calvin Klein shirts for what would have normally cost me ~$240. I only varied the branding because colors/styles were sold out. [...]
