What GQ Editors Are Actually Buying On Cyber Monday


As you trudge back to the spot on the couch you call your “home office,” pour out a cup of coffee for your faithful GQ Recommends editors who’ve been up since the wee hours of the morning bringing you the best Cyber Monday deals on the internet.

We set multiple alarms, put the coffee pot on auto mode, and blearily rolled out of bed at a truly godforsaken hour today and started compiling the best picks from Amazon, Walmart, Lululemon, and many more top retailers. We’ve got clothing deals, tech deals, Patagonia deals, Yeti deals, luggage deals, Todd Snyder deals, SSENSE deals, Mr Porter deals, J.Crew deals, Apple deals, headphone deals, Kiehl’s deals (that one rhymes!), and so many more—all available for your viewing pleasure. But since all of these deals are for you, dear reader, you might be wondering what we’re buying on sale this Cyber Monday.

TL;DR: a lot. Shopping isn’t just our job, it’s our passion—and we thought it might be helpful to throw together a quick list of all the stuff GQ editors are buying for ourselves on Cyber Monday. From suits and shoes to grooming must-haves and more, here are our top picks for us, for you.


Cam Wolf, Watch Editor

Oris

Pro Pilot PPX Automatic 39mm Titanium Watch

The Pro Pilot PPX is one of the sleekest watches in Oris’s catalog and today it’s on deep discount.

Timex

Q Timex GMT 38mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch

Timex’s handsome Q, which is like the Pepsi Zero to Rolex’s Pepsi, sports the GMT’s famous bi-color bezel at a really wearable size (38 mm). Even better: The code CYBER35 gets the watch’s price down from $229 to $149.

Yang-Yi Goh, Style Editor

Comme des Garçons

Black Lochaven Of Scotland Edition Vest

This’ll look especially sick zipped up over a boxy tee with some big baggy corduroys.

Blundstone

Classic 550

Blundstone season is upon us. Nab ’em at a very rare markdown while you can.

Lands’ End

Men’s Long Sleeve Wool Blend Rugby Sweater

The quintessential rugby shirt meets the sweater polo revolution.

Sage de Cret

Wool Twill Tumbler Balmacaan Coat With Belt Charcoal

The kind of coat that makes you want to start a shoegaze band in Dublin in 1987.

Joel Pavelski, Global Director of Content Strategy

Helix Sleep

Helix Midnight Elite

I have been meaning to upgrade my sleeping situation for ages, and I ran out of excuses when this year’s Cyber Monday sales coincided nicely with moving into a new apartment. After running around NYC for a few days throwing myself prone on everything I could find to do my own research (I’m a picky sleeper!), I realized that the guys behind the GQ Sleep Awards were right all along—this new fam favorite can’t be beat.

Quiet Town Home

Sun Shower Honey Curtains

My mantra when designing the new place: Why be boring!? Hence, this really bright shower curtain from Quiet Town (you’re gonna have to wait to copy my bath mat though, it sold out).

Michael Nolledo, Associate Commerce Director

Catbird

Second Avenue Gold Bracelet

The men’s jewelry scene has exploded in recent years with all sorts of exciting new brands, but there ain’t nothing wrong with going back to Catbird. They’re still a great spot to pick up recycled and ethically sourced gold and diamonds, and their designs stay forever timeless.

Nini Nguyen

Dac Biet: An Extra-Special Vietnamese Cookbook

This cookbook has popped up in enough conversations with friends over the past year that I feel like I already own it. My partner and I are planning a honeymoon to Vietnam in 2025, and I can’t think of a better way to prep than taking a few of Nini Ngyuen’s recipes for a spin.

Ali Finney, Associate Commerce Director

Dusen Dusen

House Stripe Towel

Dusen Dusen’s towels are great for anyone who thinks that plain-old white towels are severely overrated. They’re a bright and cheery hug when you hop out of the shower, and they’re presently 25% off.

Fredericks & Mae

Large Plastic Cutting Board

This cutting board has been on my wishlist for years: It’s a fun print when you’re doing boring chopping in the kitchen and the handle makes it supremely easy to pull off my tip-top shelf.

Flamingo Estate

The Garden Tour

If you want to feast your eyes on some of the most lush and verdant gardens in the United States, meander on over to Flamingo Estate’s website where the fruits of the garden today are on sale for 25% off.

Mate the Label

Men’s Fleece Sweat Short

These soft-as-a-dream sweat shorts are just the ticket for a climate that gets a little chilly but not downright frigid—and today only, they’re $30 off.

Dyson

AirStraight

If you have wavy hair that usually takes a few steps to get straight, take it from me—the airstraight will simplify your entire routine immensely and today, it’s $100 off.

Avidan Grossman, Senior Commerce Editor

Umit Benan B+

Double-Breasted Wool Suit Jacket

I don’t have the money to buy this myself, but somebody really should.

Adieu

Type 132 Derbys

Lace up these bad boys and the dudes in Docs lose it.

Frédéric Malle

Musc Ravageur Parfum

No better time to re-up on a fragrance that pays for itself the first three months after you buy it.

Ian Burke, Senior Commerce Editor

Amazon

2024 Kindle (16B)

I’m snagging this Kindle on Black Friday not for me, but for my lovely girlfriend who spends far too much time reading on her phone. Her last Kindle is old enough to buy cigarettes, so this’ll be a welcomed upgrade she she can enjoy all her favorite titles—minus the eye strain.

OXO

Conical Burr Coffee Grinder

Once you use freshly ground coffee, you’ll never go back to the pre-ground stuff.

Therabody

Theragun Prime

Listen, if you’ve ever been at a friend’s house and they have one of these lying around, you know how good it feels to blast away at your aching quads. Do youself a favor and snag one on major sale today—just call it an investment in your health.

Reebok

Men’s Club C 85

If you think you have enough pairs of white sneakers, no you don’t.

Electrohome

Montrose Wireless Vinyl Record Player

My dad recently gifted me an old collection of records he’s had in the attic since the 80s. So, I need a record player—this one is no-frills, which I like, and won’t break the bank.

GORUCK

Cordura Gym Bag

I love cyclindrical gym bags, and this classic, old-school look shines with this piece from GORUCK. There’s plenty of space for belts, shoes, wraps, straps, chalk, accessories, a water bottle, and a tub of preworkout.

Tyler Chin, Associate Commerce Editor

Wallace and Barnes

Creased Slant-Pocket Jean

Creased jeans are back, and I’ll be keeping that crease crisp with my aforementioned clothing iron.

Auralee

Open-Knit Cotton Shirt

It might’ve finally gotten chilly, but my eyes are set on next summer’s perfect shirt.

Black + Decker

Allure Professional Steam Iron

I’ve been using one of those hair straightener-style steamers on my clothes for a minute, and to be honest, it’s just not working out. I have to fill the reservoir like three times for each shirt I’m steaming, and it just doesn’t get out all the wrinkles. This budget-friendly iron seems to be a cult favorite, and now I won’t look like I dug up a shirt from the hamper when I’m going to work.

Gerald Ortiz, Style Commerce Writer

Homme Plissé Issey Miyake

Rustic Zip Knit Cardigan

I’m definitely a stan for zip-up sweaters of all fractions (half-zip, quarter-zip, full-zip, etc.) and this one from the legendary Issey Miyake might’ve just proven that there is an end-game zip-up.

Needles

H.D. Fatigue Trousers

Who wouldn’t want to be absolutely engulfed by their own pants?

Our Legacy

Adorable Sunglasses

I don’t know that I’d call these sunglasses adorable, but I’d definitely call them sexy.

Tim Beck Werth, GQ Contributor

Meta

Meta Quest 3S

I’ll be honest, I stopped playing video games when I graduated from college. But lately I’ve been feeling the urge to disappear into games like I used to. Now that the new Quest VR headset is $75 off at Amazon, I’m sorely tempted to take the plunge. Or, you know, if any of my loved ones want to buy it for me…

Fresh Clean Threads

Crew Neck T-Shirt

These are my favorite, favorite, favorite t-shirts, and I’ve tested enough of tees to have a very strong opinion. For Black Friday, I’m buying a t-shirt for every day of the week.

Taylor Swift

The Official Taylor Swift The Eras Tour Book

If you told my 20-year-old hipster self that one day I’d be a passionate Swiftie, he would have laughed and blown cigarette smoke in your face. Now, I might buy two of these. One for my own coffee table, and one to give as a gift. Throw this into the office White Elephant gift exchange and just watch as people lose their minds.

Craighill

Sidewinder Knife

Do I really need this ingenious little knife? Technically, no. But do I really, really want it? You know I do.

Caldera + Lab

Eyecon

I’m using Cyber Monday as an excuse to restock on my skin care favorites, and I just hit “Buy Now” on this a few minutes ago. No under-eye treatment has ever worked as well for me as this one, and I saw a noticeable improvement to dark circles in just a couple weeks.

Billy Reid

Herringbone Astor Coat

Billy Reid is offering 30% orders off orders of $800 or more, which is awkward for me, because this coat costs $798. I guess that means I have to buy another Billy Reid bandana, too. In this case, it literally costs less to buy more.

Reed Nelson, GQ Contributor

Goldwin

PERTEX QUANTUM Down Parka

I have multiple coats and a parka that still rips (despite some serious battle-testing), yet I do believe that this would immediately supplant every winter coat in my closet overnight.

Todd Snyder

Channel Crewneck Sweater

My idea of a perfect sweater is more of a moving target than a fixed rubric, but this one checks so many current boxes that I walked myself to a brick-and-mortar operation and purchased it the moment I realized it was on sale.

Emily Dawn Long

Jeff’s Shirt

I ended up paying full-price for one of the best shirts I’ve ever owned because a) I love this shirt b) I wanted this shirt and c) I assumed it would never go on sale because it was pretty much perfect. I was only wrong about one of those things, so go get it while it’s $40 off.

Goldwin

PERTEX QUANTUM Down Parka

I have multiple coats and a parka that still rips (despite some serious battle-testing), yet I do believe that this would immediately supplant every winter coat in my closet overnight.

Louis Cheslaw, GQ Contributor

Every Other Thursday

Cashmere Logo Knit Sweater

Countless brands these days (and pop megastars with merch to sell) are copying Ethan Glenn’s wrap-around script sweater style, which makes me want to support his original design even more.

Lady White

C Hoodie

I’ve lived in the Black version of this for a year. Now, time for Black Mushroom.

Nike

Everyday Cushioned Socks

They’ve not let me down in twenty years. Always reward longevity.
