Fresh Deals


PF Flyers Center Lo
Save $10: It’s hard to beat the casual versatility of canvas sneakers for warm weather. As winter transitions into spring, it’s worth investing in a fresh new pair to break in before the dog days of summer. If Cons or Vans aren’t your style, check out this blacked-out pair from PF Flyers. They feature a rugged canvas upper, vulcanized rubber outsole and detailing unique to the brand. For a limited time at Zappos, they’re $10 off. — John Zientek



Hamilton Intra-Matic
Save 36%: Hamilton’s retro-inspired Intra-Matic is a throwback to a thin dress watch the brand made back in the 1960s and one of our favorite mechanical timepieces under a grand. While this new version is on the large side of things at 42mm, it’s a spot-on reproduction of the original watch, thanks to a slim case, thin automatic movement and a handsome, brushed steel dial. Normally the Intra-Matic retails for $945 but Macy’s has it marked down to $803. What’s more, when you use the code VIP at checkout, you’ll save an addition 25 percent and score this handsome mechanical dress watch for just $602. — Andrew Connor



Incase City Compact Backpack
Save $35: Carrying a briefcase has become an antiquated practice, especially with the other options out there, namely backpacks. A work backpack is pretty useless unless it’s durable with an easy-to-access laptop pocket and comfortable to wear. Incase City Compact Backpack fits the bill and the gunmetal grey color is on sale now for 35% off. — Meg Lappe



KEF Q100 Bookshelf Speakers
Save $250: The KEF Q100s are some the best bookshelf speakers you can find. Their excellent clarity and soundstage push way beyond their normally $550 asking price — and now that price has been nearly halved. You can find the Q100s for $300 on Best Buy and Amazon. If you’re looking for some passive bookshelf speakers to hook up to your home’s stereo system, consider these an audiophile-grade option that’s actually affordable. — Tucker Bowe, Staff Writer

Sinkevich Carbon Fiber KVT by Zero Tolerance Knives
Save 25%: When it comes to EDC, being compact, durable and lightweight are key features. Most pocket knives, buy design already check those boxes, but the Sinkevich Carbon Fiber KVT by Zero Tolerance Knives goes above and beyond. While the blade is S35VN steel with a matte black finish, the handle is a combination of carbon fiber and titanium, making the Sinkevich supremely lightweight. Today on Huckberry, not only can you save some weight with a new EDC knife, but you can also save some cash because the Sinkevich Carbon Fiber KVT by Zero Tolerance Knives is 25% off for a total savings of $45. — Bryan Campbell



Victorinox Fibrox 8-Inch Chef’s Knife
Save 33%: The Victorinox Fibrox 8-inch Chef’s Knife is a low-maintenance, do-it-all kitchen knife that you can buy for the price of two movie tickets. The knife’s popularity is earned from its usage by professional line cooks looking for an affordable, effective blade that won’t cause moping if ruined (if that even happens — mine is going strong through two years of unruly abuse). The ever-so-slightly curved Fibrox handle works well for handle-grippers and thumb-grippers alike, and it’s entirely dishwasher safe. The Victorinox is the internet’s favorite knife — and for $30, about $10 cheaper than its average Amazon price, you’re getting a time-tested kitchen tool that will do what you need it to. –Will Price



Rare Japanese Whiskies
Save 20%: A gift for your boss’s birthday? Early Father’s Day shopping? An extra-long week ahead of you? Whatever your reason or justification, taking the form of 20 percent off their entire collection of rare bottles, the Japanese whisky sellers at Dekanta have provided the perfect diving board into East Asia’s buzzing brown spirit market. Their entire collection includes more than 800 different whiskies running from as low as the cost of a pair of sunglasses ($100) to as high a decent used car ($7,200). Sale standouts include an 18-year distilled in the shadow of Mount Fuji, a popular but decidedly old-school blend and a bottle whose origin is so mysterious no one even knows where or for how long it was distilled. — Will Price



My All-Time Favorite Leather Mitten Is On Sale Today
Save 25%: I remember the first time I pulled on Hestra’s Fall Line Mitten. It was at Keystone two years ago, and the minute I felt the puppy-soft loft leather, I was hooked. They’ve been my go-to mitten ever since, and have kept my hands toasty warm from the streets of New York City to mountain summits in Colorado. If you’re unfamiliar with Hestra, the Swedish brand has been making leather gloves since 1936, and continues to make the finest leather gloves for outdoor pursuits on the market. Today, you can score Hestra’s Fall Line mitten for 25% off its retail price in the Flame Red colorway. — AJ Powell
