Black Friday Menswear Deals
Knit polos from Percival, Hollywood’s favorite knit polo brand? Timeless menswear staples from Levi’s and Patagonia? Hail, hail the gang’s all here—and all included in the best Black Friday clothing deals to shop right now.
Percival
How do you make a rugby even sportier? A sharp houndstooth just like this.
Patagonia
Reversible Shelled Microdini Jacket
Whatcha feeling today: crispy nylon or cozy fleece? Either way, this reversible jacket has you set.
J.Crew
Irish Donegal Wool Sweater
A nice piping hot bowl of stew would be perfect for a chilly day, but this hefty Irish wool sweater will do just fine.
Kenzo
Youthful Energy 55mm Rectangular Sunglasses
Do you know Nigo? In these blocky shades, everyone will assume you do.
Levi’s
Still plenty of time before winter to wear (and wear in) a fresh denim jacket.
Abercrombie & Fitch
Crochet sweaters are just as cool now as when your grandma gave you one as a gift for the holidays as a kid. But don’t worry if that hand-knit joint is long gone because Abercrombie still makes them (just don’t tell your Nana).
Patagonia
Anyone planning to hit the backcountry—skiing, splitboarding, snowshoeing, what-have-you—should have a pair of pants as hardcore as you. A water-resistant treatment, gaiters, thigh vents and more mean you’re ready to go where most mortals won’t. (They’ll also be great if you’re just taking your kids sledding.)
Black Friday Tech Deals
Noise-cancelling status cans, ultra-crisp 4K TVs, premium wireless speakers—all for way less than usual.
Apple
The bougie AirPods Max are as stylish as they are exceptional—spatial audio works well, noise cancellation is second to none, and 20 hours of battery life is more than enough to get you through your commute.
Amazon
Welcome to your new bedroom TV. With both Alexa and Amazon’s Roku-esque Fire TV software built-in, this 32″ screen makes for an all-in-one (aka, far fewer cords) setup. $110 is a stupid-low price, though if you want a little more acreage, the 40″ version is only $180. (And if you need 4K plus the bells and whistles required for a living-room-level set, Amazon’s
top-tier Fire TV Omni series is also on sale right now.)
Dyson
V12 Detect Slim Absolute Cordless Vacuum
Dyson put a laser in its cleaning head to illuminate naked-to-the-eye dust particles on hardwood floors, which is brilliant. It’s also basically turned vacuuming into an IRL game of Pac-Man where the winner is always you, with a cleaner house.
Fitbit
Luxe Fitness + Wellness Tracker
“Wrist candy” rarely applies to fitness trackers, but we’ll make an exception for the Fitbit Luxe, a fairly basic tracker that can do a lot more if you spring for FitBit’s subscription service.
Philips
SmartSleep Sleep and Wake-Up Light
Don’t let SAD come for you this winter with a sleep light that’ll help you regulate your circadian rhythm for fewer mornings of you cursing into the ether.
Victrola
If you’re lucky enough to have a sick Sonos setup at home, this Victrola turntable is designed to seamlessly integrate into your sound system, no wires required.
Bose
Bose’s QuietComfort II are the best noise-cancelling earbuds on the market, bar-none. But they’ve also upped their music-fidelity game, too—particularly thanks to some software that automatically tweaks the audio based on the shape of your ear.
Apple
If you don’t need the latest model of tech gear, the older model of the iPad is $150 cheaper than the current iteration, and most people won’t be able to tell the difference in performance if all you’re doing is surfing the web, taking FaceTime calls, and watching YouTube.

Black Friday Sneaker Deals
Looking to upgrade you kicks rotation? Black Friday promises to be lousy with markdowns on signature styles from Nike, Merrell, and more.
Merrell
Google, show me the most comfortable pair of walking shoes around.
Nike
Before Michael Jordan was Michael Jordan, he wore the Nike Terminator. We’re not saying that you’d end up with an earth-shattering shoe deal and mountains of cash afterward, but hey—it happened once before!
Rhodes Footwear
These burly suede boots are pretty straight out of the box and will just get better with age.
Allen Edmonds
The only two cents you really need are these gorgeous penny loafers.
Vinny’s
Two tones, twice the fun.
