To help you locate the best menswear deals before they end on May 25, we’ve highlighted 12 of the top retailers and brands to shop ahead of the long weekend (organized alphabetically for your scrolling convenience).If you’re a one-cart-and-done kind of guy, start at retailers like Amazon, REI, Huckberry, or Nordstrom, where you can find competitive markdowns on many popular brands in one place, and maybe something more you weren’t even looking for (fighting the urge to add this floor lamp to my cart).That said, the real gems are happening directly on brands’ sites. This is one of those weekends where brands that don’t usually have sales, have sales, so whether you’re into Filson, Todd Snyder, or Vuori, it’s worth going straight to the source.
