alumni and hatchet labor day sales

labor day sales are looking pretty solid all-around this year, but amidst the constant markdowns and the sheer number of good deals, it can be hard to know exactly what to buy

decision paralysis is amplified by the fact that we probably should be saving during a time like this (we can always be saving i guess…), but items ranging from the $100-200 range are pretty tempting when marked down by over 50%

however, the best purchases may sit on two polar ends of the price spectrum: shoes so cheap it’s basically free, and that statement jacket with a high retail, warranting a $500+ discount

for me personally, the middle tier items tend to get lost in the choices of what to wear daily, but it’s easy to wear something that was nearly free, and it’s exciting to build your style around the quality pieces that you didn’t have to shell out an irresponsible amount of money on

luckily, alumni and hatchet supply, two retailers from the same operation in brooklyn, both have an extra discount for this week (not just the weekend!) on items that fall on within those categories

sadly, alumni has recently closed its storefront in queens, so its selection is a bit limited but the discounts are much steeper. their selection is more streetwear focused, with inventory ranging from higher end brands like Marni & Maison Mihara Yasuhiro to heavily discounted alternatives like Karhu & Reebok

with stores still open in LA and brooklyn, hatchet supply has its focus on hiking and activewear for the hypebeast who loves browsing REI, goes camping at least once a year, and owns at least one snow peak titanium mug

while their discounts aren’t as drastic, they have a bigger selection of techwear and outdoor-centric streetwear from a variety of international brands such as Klattermusen & San San Gear

now that you’re aware of these sales, buy something cheap if you need a refresh on your go-to sneakers or full-send on that mihara patchwork jacket if you must. shopping tax-free also really helps to save an extra 10% off if don’t live in CA or NY (this may be the first triple discount newsletter!)

if you don’t see anything for yourself, don’t gatekeep these deals; share it with a group chat and bring alumni’s storefront back from the dead
