When I sat down and started planning this Substack in early 2024, I set out a few goals. I wanted this to be a grand resource for any menswear fanatic; anyone who wanted to upgrade the materials they interact with on a daily basis in a thoughtful manner. I wanted to make it easier for people to shop 2nd hand online, and feel comfortable building a wardrobe from sites like eBay, Etsy, and Grailed. I wanted to use some of the connections and partnerships I’ve made in my years of being a content creator to give back to you folks in a big way. But most importantly, I wanted to make sure I delivered the most amount of value to the generous folks that chose to contribute a nice latte’s worth of money per month. Whether it’s saving you $5 worth of time by shortening your search for that perfect vintage coat, giving you $5 worth of a shot at a vintage Cartier watch, or getting you $5 worth of additional wear out of a better-made product, I want you to feel like you’re getting the most out of your patronage to this newsletter.
I’m so grateful to you folks, and I owe it to you to give you the best deal possible, which is why I called upon some friends of the newsletter to put this list together. Below is a list of some of my favourite brands who have kindly offered exclusive discount codes only available to premium patrons. I want this list to grow as big as possible, and I’m still working on getting a few more brands on board. If there’s anyone you’d love to see on this list, please let me know and I’ll do my best to twist their arm 😉.
