Depending on your sense of national pride, the 4th of July can be a lot, and not always in a good way. The 4th of July clothing salesthough? Those, my fellow flustered Americans, are consistently cause for celebration. Sure, personal feelings on the holiday may vary, but the menswear deals it engenders every summer are a fairly sure-fire delight. And ahead of the formal celebrations this weekend, they’re already out in full force.
Just in the nick of time, too. Whatever grace the weather was displaying over the first half of June has officially given way to typical summer drudgery—it’s hot, it’s humid, and we’re sick of hearing people complain about it. So, uh, don’t. Instead, turn your attention to all the swelter-weather gear available for a pittance right now, courtesy of the trusty mall-brand mainstays, the bleeding-edge independents, and the multi-brand e-comm behemoths otherwise loath to discount their wares. Happy 4th, and happy shopping.

Abercrombie & Fitch
What’s a holiday weekend without a massive Abercrombie sale? We won’t have to find out because this weekend they’ve knocked 20-50% off pretty much everything on the site, and they’re also offering you an additional 20% off anything already on sale, which means you could set yourself up for the entire summer in a single cart.
Alex Mill
The vaunted Alex Mill summer sale has just kicked off, giving you 40-60% off their entire collection—or, in other words, an absolutely preposterous deal on some of the most effortlessly styled, endlessly versatile menswear staples on the market (including their cotton-linen Cooper Suit, which is now clocking in under $275 total.)
American Trench
American Trench has built a reputation on some of the best socks anywhere, and those socks just so happen to be US-made and reasonably priced. But they make a whole bunch of other killer, no-fuss menswear that’s worth your attention, and for the weekend all of it is 20% off.
Banana Republic
When it comes to loose shirts, retro-tinged polos, louche trousers, big shorts and really anything else we’ve wanted to wear of late, Banana Republic has been on a tear, and the summer collection always hits especially hard. The good news for you is that there’s an extra 300 pieces from that collection now up to 60% off, and for the weekend you can take an extra 20% off that already-enticing price.
Bather
Bather just so happens to make our favorite swim trunks around, and they’re kicking off the holiday with 20% off sitewide with the code ‘HEATWAVE!’ That includes the brand’s all-new modern trunk, which is done up in a slick iridescent fabric and looser silhouette.
Everlane
If you’re in the market for some ethically-made, reasonably-priced everyday staples, wardrobe workhorses or just something to pad out an otherwise humming rotation, you probably already know that Everlane is a great place to start searching. Through July 7th, however, the retailer is taking up to 50% nearly everything on the site, which makes it an even better place to kick things off.
G.H. Bass
The first name in American loafers isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, but considering they’ve knocked 25% off the price of their best sellers through the weekend (with code SPARK), this season’s inventory should go fast. If you’ve been looking for some Weejuns, there’s no time like the present.
Haven
One of the best multi-brand retailers in the world is very much Canadian, but that doesn’t mean they’re not partaking in the festivities. And as a result, you can take an additional 15% off one of the most stacked sale sections you’ll see all summer with the code “SUMMER15”, a sale section resplendent with brands like Arc’teryx, Auralee, Beams, Lemaire, Needles and more.
Huckberry
Huckberry’s summer sale is one of the better all-around sales in the genre, and even though it’s been technically rolling for a few weeks, there’s still an insane amount of hard-wearing, hard-living, hard-to-beat inventory left, all of it designed to exponentially improve whatever type of everyday adventures you have on tap for the season.
J.Crew
By now, you should know that if you’re looking for some summer shirts, a last-minute wedding setup or a full rotation redesign, J.Crew is one of the first places you should check. But what you might be pleased to learn is that through July 7, they’re offering you an extra 70% (yes, 70) off over 200 sale styles.
Levi’s
Levi’s End of Season Sale is in full swing, and that means there’s a great chance that a cut or wash you’ve been eyeing is up to 50% off at this very moment—and the same goes for truckers, button ups and the rest.
Madewell
For anyone still unaware of Madewell’s virtues, now is a wonderful time to fill yourself in, because a majority of their eminently wearable, outfit-elevating spring-summer collection is currently residing in the sale section, and through July 10, you can take an extra 30% off all of it.
Mohawk General Store
One of our favorite independent retailers anywhere, Mohawk has a brand list as dialed as any in the world, and that means their well-stocked sale section is also as dialed as any you can find.
Mr Porter
While the legendary Mr. Porter sale is no longer a limited-time affair, the inventory is as limited as ever and the best time to take advantage of the savings is when they’re still stocking it with current season goods. Considering they’ve just added a host of new lines to a sale tab with discounts up to 60%, it’s safe to say we’re within the window.
Nordstrom
Nordstorm might be gearing up for its annual Anniversary Sale, but that doesn’t mean there are deals to be had right now. At this very moment, you can find a grip of hot menswear on discount, including choice selects from Homme Plissé Issey Miyake, Stan Ray, Story Mfg., and more.
Ralph Lauren
There’s no bad time to buy some Ralph but a good time to do so is when it’s on sale, and the best time is when that sale section has a sale—i.e. right now through July 7. (And if you needed any further motivation, the first name in American fashion’s menswear sale section is boasting over 500 products right now.)
REI
Sure, going “outside” is becoming increasingly fraught, but that doesn’t change REI’s ability to prepare you for it—and when they’ve put thousands (literally over 7,000) products on sale, that ability increases exponentially, which they have through July 7. So if you’ve got a camping trip, a hike you’ve been putting off or just need some gear, now is the time to stock up.
Reigning Champ
One of the premier names in tees, sweats and anything else jersey-knit recently kicked off their Midsummer Sale, which will let you take up to 50% off both perennial all-stars and seasonal favorites through July 6.
SSENSE
SSENSE isn’t necessarily celebrating the 4th, but that doesn’t mean their sale isn’t very much active and thriving over the weekend, with discounts pushing that 70% range. If you’ve been on the fence about something and it’s still around, you might not get another crack at it.
Stag Provisions
From now through Sunday (July 6), Stag Provisions is taking 25% off almost everything on their entire site, which means that you can score some insane deals on brands like Birkenstock, Save Khaki, Garrett Leight, RRL and more—a ton of which rarely, if ever, goes on sale at all.
Todd Snyder
Todd Snyder just kicked off its jaw-dropping summer sale, which knocked up to 50% off the original price of an insane number of summer hits, and if that wasn’t enough, they’re also offering you an additional 20% off that price for the time being.
