Update: May 12th, 2017, 4:49 p.m.
JackThreads has now officially closed, and all products have been removed from the site.
OG men’s flash-sale site JackThreads announced that it was going out of business earlier this week. The retailer was bought by Thrillist in 2010, left the media company in 2015, and was reportedly seeking a buyer as recently as February; now the brand is holding a massive 70%-off everything-must-go sale before closing up shop for good.
But JackThread’s loss is our gain — we’ve written before about how stores going out of business can actually be a boon for customers — and the site has a good deal of basics at very low prices. It doesn’t feel good to relish the demise of a business, but you know what does? Getting a pair of jeans for $15 that once retailed for $100.
Two disclaimers before we get going here: We’ve seen some customers previously complain in the brand’s Instagram comments that they’ve never received items they bought via the site, and shipping costs $5 (which can sting when you’re buying something that costs just slightly more than that). If none of this has quelled your shoppies, you can check out the best finds from JackThreads’s “Farewell Sale” below.
