For $50 You Can Buy …

By going through this Gilt City sale, you can buy SWIMS galoshes for $50. That’s the cheapest I’ve ever seen them. You can also get some handsome hats for about the same price.

The deal is through Shrine Haberdashers, a store in Chicago that Jesse and I have recommended before. The Gilt City coupon is supposed to only be used in-store, but I talked to the owners and they said they would honor the voucher over the phone if a customer didn’t see the fine print. Nobody will be turned away.

I usually try to avoid reblogging PTO – not because they aren’t great, but I just as well assume everyone who reads my blog is definitely reading PTO – but I feel this is a really good deal.

I’m a fan of my pair of SWIMS and the folks at Shrine are extremely nice and helpful. If you don’t own a pair of overshoes, but you do own some nice pairs of leather-soled shoes you’d like to keep alive as long as possible, then definitely consider a $50 investment.

Be warned though: These aren’t going to fit over your bucks, might not fit over loafers and I’d be uncertain about some brogue boots.
