What GQ Editors Are Actually Buying on Cyber Monday

Am I an avid diver? No. Am I an avid lurker on watch websites waiting for prices to match my salary? Yes.

You can literally never have too many rugby shirts. (Or at least that’s what I tell my fiance.)

I see your ineffectual, tiny European coffee and raise you a pot of perfectly brewed, perfectly guzzle-able American drip.

Black Friday is a time to get jacked, stacked, succulent, and dense—for less.

It’s just dips? It’s not 45-degree semi-supinated incline press-flys with a flared elbow? Always has been.

It’s sweater season, folks, and you’re not going to catch me shivering.

I’m still punching the air over the fact that I missed out on the Maximum Henry X Emily Dawn Long belt. Thankfully this braided belt is helping me deal with the loss.

Catch me out there recording movies in super 8 quality like a young Spielberg.

Adsum continues its unimpeachable run of wicked outerwear.

Are you telling me all I need to do is drop a tiny amount of water into this bad boy, and I’ll get perfect toast every time? Say less.

The best collab of the year made the best raincoat… ever?

Man, I don’t even like being outside but I need this hat.

Any excuse to buy a new pair of wide-legged pants.

My dream surround sound system is almost complete.

Even off the rack, Stockholm’s raddest custom tailor will cost you a pretty penny. But if y’all help me crowdsource the funds, I promise we can share custody of this cashmere-blend beauty through the rest of fall.

When the savvy merchandisers at J.Crew relaunched Madewell in the early aughts, the sister label, uh, made its name by faithfully recreating vintage jeans a lot like this. Glad to see the legacy is alive and well.

The Angeleno skin care whisperers at iS Clinical really know their shit. Even (and perhaps especially) if you don’t, a deal this good is pretty self-evident.

Italian-made approach shoes equally at home on the Dolomites as they are on the feet of a deskbound GQ staffer.

Is it a coincidence that one of the best menswear retailers is also one of the best standalone labels? Absolutely not. This plaid shirt may look plain, but it’s actually made from a Japanese Super 140s wool for a lightweight and silky feel. Add to that super comfy underarm gussets and custom mother of pearl buttons and it’s clear that this shirt ain’t phoning it in.

I’m tired of bluetooth cutting out, batteries dying, and losing one earbud to a subway grate. Apple’s wired headphones don’t fit my ears and nothing else I’ve found looks particularly cool. Then, there are these Aiaiai Tracks headphones…They’ve got a clean, retro design, a good ol’ fashioned wire, and don’t cost much, especially at this holiday discount.

I’ve been eyeing these reproduction cargo pants for literally months. Something’s telling me that now is the time to stop yearning and saddle up. That something, it turns out, is a big fat sale sign.

Sleek, slim, suede sneakers are on my wishlist if you just so happen to be my girlfriend who loves me and wants to buy me a gift.

What, you don’t want a gym top that shows off your hard-earned abs and perfectly sculpts your bis, tris, and traps? You’re missing out, dude.

When my reticent brother says he likes something, you know he’ll be receiving variations of it for every holiday for the next 5 years.

Holiday parties on the horizon means I’m about to buy my yearly tube of lipstick.

Wait ‘til you see the back.

Mine is a house of incense. Enough to justify a tabletop lighter. And this antique-looking alabaster one from Edie Parker is precisely the vibe.

A classic checked Burberry scarf feels unbelievably fresh to me right now, and I must have one. Must be big and oversized though, like this one.

American Trench basically does one big sale a year. I also happen to buy socks only once a year. This is that time.

Catbird’s biggest (and only?) sale of the year is always worth a look if you’re in the market for some quality shine.

I bought this as a gift for the husband, but also because I knew I could wear it too. It’s lined with a pretty flannel and it’s incredibly thick and warm.

I love the idea of hiding TVs with artwork, and this one comes with the prettiest bank of art. It’s also just generally stunning. It has a 4K QLED resolution and the most incredible sound.

I hated sound bars until I tried this one. In the past, I’ve found that they’re not worth the additional remote, but this one sounds so great and works so seamlessly with any TV that it’s worth it, guys.

Get your Christmas gifts ready, folks! This one is for my husband and he’s been insanely excited about the curved 4K screen. According to him, there’s no better gaming monitor out there, especially for the price.

These have kept my teeth from chattering for four winters in a row, and I’ll be damned if I don’t use this sale to stock up on a backup.

My biggest indulgence in life, nearly 40% off.

A very good blazer at a stupidly good price.

Reigning Champ has been absolutely crushing the sweater and outerwear game this year, and there’s no way I could pass up adding some more additions to my closet.

The lion does not concern himself with practicality. (He does concern himself with a corduroy collar and the most 1950s shade of yellow ever rendered, however.)

I treat these like they’ve wronged me in both this life and a past one and they’re now like twice as good as they were out of the box.
