Classic Luggage from Hartmann
Save up to 67% Hartmann was founded in Milwaukee in 1877, and in the 141 years since, it’s been making some the best-performing and most stylish luggage in the world. And right now, a selection of them are on sale. You can save up to 66 percent on a bag you’ll have for a lifetime.

Uniqlo Ultra Light Down Layers
Save $10 Uniqlo’s Ultra Light Down layers offer so much versatility at such an accessible price. They can fold up into a compact pouch so you can use it for travel, thin enough to work as a versatile layer, but warm enough to function on their own during not-quite-dead-of-winter weather. Better yet are the prices, which range from $50 for a vest to $130 for a mid-length parka. But right now, Uniqlo is offering an extra $10 off every style, making one of the greatest values in menswear an even better one. — Andrew Connor

Lodge 12-Inch Cast-Iron Skillet
Save 57%Get this hardy, very large Lodge skillet. For the uninitiated, Lodge is the most prolific cast-iron cookware producer in the US (potentially the world), and its wares come at a satisfyingly low cost. The pans are poured and sand-cast in Lodge’s South Pittsburg, Tennessee factory (the same town the company was started in in 1896), which results in the pebbly surface most people have come to know as the standard (it wasn’t always this way) and are typically pretty heavy, meaning you need to be patient when heating them through.

This 12-inch Lodge pan is 57 percent off today on Amazon, marked down from $40 to $17.

Frye Carter Weekend Bag
Save 45%:It’s hard to beat the rugged versatility of a waxed canvas bag. The heavy-weight fabric is weather-resistant and durable. It ages gracefully with time developing a unique patina — scuffs and scrapes don’t weaken the integrity, they merely add character. If you’re looking to invest in a quality waxed canvas duffel bag for short trips and weekend getaways, Nordstrom Rack has a deal for you. Currently, the Carter Weekend Bag from Frye is 45 percent off and costs just $250 — that’s savings of $208. — John Zientek

Nordstrom Rack

Wolverine Chelsea Boots
Save 41%Wolverine has been making boots for a hot minute (about 130 years), and its wares, though traditionally work-focused, are among the best at balancing comfort, quality, durability and looks.

The Cromwell boot in black leather is on sale at Nordstrom Rack right now — a full size run available and 41 percent off the ticket price. — Will Price
