Steven Alan remains one of the coolest American retailers online, even though most of what they sell is their decent though rarely outstanding house brand, which is like a slightly more exclusive J. Crew. Right now, they’re running one of their “sample sales” (mostly old stock, not samples, per se) and many items from the house brand and lines like Arpenteur and United Arrows Beauty and Youth are discounted deeper than 50%. The trick for me is sorting the stock by designer A-Z, and scanning the non-Steven-Alan stuff (sorry, Steven Alan?). Check out this Arpenteur olive drab chore coat, Filson waxed Cruiser, Beauty and Youth “shaggy” sweaters (size up), lots of Steven Alan shirts, Engineered Garments polka dot shorts, marled Anonymous-ism socks, and New Balance CRT300 sneakers.
