Virgin Mackinaw wool with a waxed-cotton caped shoulder, a cut barely changed since 1914 — warm enough to work in all winter. A limited-edition holiday run at half off. Filson rarely runs the Mackinaw at half off, which is exactly what makes $325 worth flagging.

Here's a real one: Roundhouse's American-made stripe bib overalls, marked 57% off — $30 from a $70 comparison price. The catch isn't hidden — it's right in the title: IRREGULAR. SECOND. NO RETURNS. That may still be a fair buy; $30 for a made-in-USA overall with a minor flaw can be worth it. But a factory second isn't the same product as the first-quality pair that $70 is based on — so "57% off" isn't a clean, apples-to-apples markdown. The defect is disclosed; the comparison is the problem. The tell: scan the title for SECOND, IRREGULAR, or BLEM to check condition, and FINAL SALE or NO RETURNS to check your recourse. Then go look and decide for yourself — that's your call, not the retailer's.
