Ray-Ban Aviator
Save 30%: Since 1936, aviator sunglasses have protected the eyes of pilots across the world. The original Bausch and Lomb model was branded ‘Ray-Ban’ upon release to the public, and over the later half of the 20th century, it became a staple style for civilians. The design hasn’t changed that much and features convex tear-drop lenses and thin metal frames. Now at Nordstrom Rack, you can save 30 percent on a pair of classic Ray-Ban aviators. Available with both tortoiseshell and black temple tips, this iconic style is now only $105. — John Zientek
Oak StreetOak Street Bookmakers Cap-Toe Boots
Save $176: Chicago-based Oak Street Bootmakers is one of a handful of companies handcrafting quality boots in the US from high-end leathers. Understandably, its boots fetch a fair amount of money, but Massdrop is offering up two styles of Cap-Toe boots from Oak Street for a steal. Both boots feature a cap-toe design and come in either a black calf leather from famed French tannery Tannerie d’Annonay or a chestnut-hued leather from Seidel in Milwaukee. Purportedly, these boots are made from overstocked leather from these tanneries exclusively for Massdrop; as such they can be picked up for just $250. Similar pairs of boots from Oak Street Bootmakers normally retail for well over $400. — Andrew Connor
