Jack’s back. 20% off everything not already on sale—including wallets, bags, and other sartorial tchotchkes—at the New York and Boston stores. We’ll see you there…

Our friend, countryman, shutterbug and Jack Spade-r Mordechai Rubinstein just tipped us off to the bagman’s SoHo sale, so if you’re bagless, this might be your chance. 50% off select merch also including scarves and wallets. You’ve got two weeks.
Just another day at Kiki de Montparnasse
‘Tis the season of balanced consumerism in Los Angeles. A gift for others, a gift for yourself. And so on:
Parke & Ronen: The winter collection of classic-with-a-twist menswear is going for 50% off this weekend. Mention our brother UrbanDaddy to get the discount now. 8012 1/2 Melrose Ave, 323-852-1635
Apartment 3: New and vintage pieces are marked down by 30-50% to celebrate yet another residence for this wandering store. Also, open vodka bar tonight. 1855 Industrial St. #103, 8-11pm tonight, 323-939-3853
Kiki de Montparnasse: Okay, one for the “gift for others” category. If you ask a salesgirl to take you to the boudoir, she’ll show you the secret stash of 30%-off underthings—instead of slapping you. 8280 Melrose Ave, 323-951-9545
Lisa Kline: If you can brave the celebutantes shopping for the benefit of the Robertson Boulevard paparazzi posse, this mega-sale continues. Brands like Ever and Modern Amusement are cut by up to 70%. 140 Robertson Blvd, 310-246-0907

Crosby Street, just below Houston, is known to locals for its easy-to-miss Indian deli, Lahore, as well as one of NY’s most fashion forward specialty stores for men, Atelier New York. Karlo Steel and Constantin von Haeften opened Atelier New York (originally A.) in September, 2002 as a duel gender boutique but dropped women’s within a year to focus on men’s wear.

You started off the week with a tryptophan-induced blue Monday, worked through that inbox of things you dutifully ignored last week and lost $50 on the Packers last night. Well, reward yourself…

Put on your helmet and get ready to throw down: Black Friday is nigh. Granted, the aisles will be packed and you’re more likely to get a deal on a flatscreen than a peacoat—but there are still sales worth a survey. Good luck and Godspeed.
* Giorgio Fendon 1919*: Great deals on sleek black and orange briefcases and luggage.
63 West 49th Street, Manhattan, 212-582-3232, www.giorgiofedon1919.it

Oak: Not a “Black Friday” sale per se, but at 15%-20% off for select merchandise, it’s a better bet than slugging it out at Macy’s.

Okay, okay-we know what some of you non-initiates might be saying; “A sample sale at a vintage store?” Well, it’s not quite that simple. What Comes Around Goes Around is, as the name suggests, one of the New York’s premier second-hand stores. Far more curated and crafted than, say, your average Beacon’s Closet, WCAGA maintains one of the best selections of men’s suits, aged jeans and, in case you’re re-doing the couch or in the market for a unique tie, vintage textiles…

Andy Salzer of Yoko Devereaux has carved out his little square of the market by pairing themes and tones familiar to Upper East Siders with a Bedford Avenue aesthetic. From tomorrow at noon and lasting until Sunday (though we don’t recommend waiting that long) you’ll be able to snatch some of Salzer’s edgy club-room product at Beacon’s Closet prices. In particular, the two-button fleece blazer will be offered up at $60 (down from $216), the cheeky black-fleece…

One of SoHo’s best specialty boutiques for menswear since April ‘06, BBlessing (say: “Blessing,” the first “B” is a nod to the owners’ previous retail project, BBS Tokyo) has an offsite sample sale over the next two days.
There’s still 8+ full rails to sort through after friends and family picked over 4 seasons of button downs, blazers, coats, trenches, trousers, knits, and $80 jeans from the store’s amazing designer group (see flyer). In terms of sizing, the bulk is 30-34 waist bottoms and M/L for tops. It’s also the first time that the house label’s hoodies and tops have gone the way of the discount; the line will expand into ready-to-wear for Spring/Summer ‘08.
5 Crosby Street is Bblessing buyer Josh Safalow’s showroom space and easy to find from Canal or Spring St. stations.
