Though it’s hard to admit, summer is quickly coming to a close. Instead of lamenting the dying of the light, we urge you rage against it by picking up affordable, last-minute articles of summer clothing. Here are a few of our favorite men’s brands that are currently engaged in excellent end-of-summer sales.

Rhone — Back to School Bundlerhone

Rhone makes an excellent line of activewear for men of all ages. With the new school year looming, Rhone is offering a real bargain on their tops, bottoms, and socks. In you opt for the Back to School Bundle, you can select one top (t-shirt or long-sleeve shirt), one pair of bottoms (shorts or pants), and one pair of socks, then enter the code “BUNDLE” for an advantageous deal. Of course, you don’t actually have to be enrolled in class to take advantage of the Back to School Bundle.

Haspel — up to 50% offhaspel

We’re big fans of Haspel at The Manual — particularly their iconic seersucker suits. Right now they’re in the midst of a summer clearance sale, with a 50% price cut on many of their long-sleeve shirts, short-sleeve shirts, and shorts. They also offer reasonable prices for their legendary seersucker pants and jackets. Buying excellent summerwear from Haspel now is a great way to save up for next summer. Many of their discount clothes work just fine for fall and winter, too.  

Rogue Territory Jeans — up to 30% offrogue territory

Once fall rolls around, you’ll start seeing jeans a lot more. In anticipation of jean season, Rogue Territory has cut prices by up to 30%. Among the jeans for sale are their Graphite Wash and Greyscale Wash pairs. If you’re more of a blue jeans fella, you might go for the fine-looking Desert Wash jeans. Based in Los Angeles, Rogue Territory is known for making high-quality, hand-crafted jeans. If you need a good new pair of jeans in your wardrobe, now is a good time to jump.

Mr. Elk — up to 40% offelk

Elk is an Australian-based company, which means their summer sales are really more like winter sales. Regardless of hemispherical differences, Elk is cutting prices on their products by as much as 40%. Mr. Elk, the menswear branch of the company, is offering great deals on pajamas, bags, wallets, and cufflinks. We like Elk because they work closely with UNICEF and GO GREEN — and we’re all about businesses that are trying to make a positive impact in the world.

TOMS — up to 40% off TOMS

TOMS is an outstanding company best known for their “One for One” initiative — for every item you purchase, TOMS provides help to an individual in need. For example, if you buy one pair of shoes, TOMS will donate a pair to a shoeless child somewhere in the world. Thanks to a generous summer sale, you can now get a pair of shoes for yourself and a stranger in need for a super-low price. TOMS is also selling discount t-shirts and hoodies.

Taylor Stitch proves that Made in America is still popular
International production may be popular but Made in America is selling out
Taylor Stitch Made in USA jacket

Many clothing brands make a decision at some point during the scale-up phase to ship manufacturing jobs overseas in an effort to increase their profits. That, in turn, increases the value of their stocks, and the growth just skyrockets from there. However, that means jobs go away and, in a lot of ways, means the quality suffers a little. That is why garments that are made in America just feel different. They feel stronger and more durable and let you take a feeling of pride in what you wear. That is why Taylor Stitch put together a collection of items Made in America that embody the spirit of home while making you look and feel great. But before you run over to the site and grab up all you can, you need to know one thing about the Taylor Stitch Made in America collection.
Items are flying off the shelves

The three most significant and most popular items in the collection are a collaboration with San Francisco legend Golden Bear Sportswear, the Golden Bear Snap Bomber, which balances vintage curb appeal with heirloom quality construction to earn its place as the go-to statement piece in your wardrobe. While it still has limited sizes available, the the Camp Pant in Rigid Indigo Sashiko and Mill Shirt Jacket in Rigid Indigo Sashiko are completely sold out. What does that tell us? Other than Taylor Stitch makes excellent quality homemade products, the people love them. We will keep our eye on those in hopes that they come back. Partly for you and partly because we want to get our hands on them as well.

Dr. Martens releases new collaboration
models starting at dr martens in midair

Although Dr. Martens has built its legacy as a go-to for boots, it’s hardly been considered rugged material- until now. With their latest collaboration with thisisneverthat, Dr. Martens is taking its classic styles and giving it a tough upgrade. Donning a new look each, these are far from the fresh and sleek new boots you’ve grown accustomed to. These new workwear boots are made to be worn out, give your footwear a unique story, and maximize use. Using iconic details from both brands, the latest workwear boots will add style to your everyday looks.

Banana Republic taps The White Lotus star for SS25 campaign
Nicholas Duvernay is a model for the first time
Banana Republic

Banana Republic is a staple in accessible fashion. It isn't a brand that lives only on the runways where everyday people feel disconnected, and it is more elevated than the run-of-the-mill selections those men who care little for style and standards prefer. It carved a place for itself in the middle, accessible for all and loved by most. With their launch of the spring and summer line, they tapped the star of The White Lotus, Nicholas Duvernay, to model the new pieces, and even though he had never done it before, he looked like a natural.

"Banana Republic’s pieces are timeless, blending the brand’s heritage with modern styles," says Nicholas Duvernay. "The craftsmanship and quality fabrics make them as comfortable as they are elevated—perfect for a night in the city or a weekend getaway. Shooting this campaign was an incredible experience, celebrating style, quality, and the spirit of exploration that defines Banana Republic."
