When Stan Ray Goes on Sale, Carhartt Gets Real Nervous

Stan Ray lands squarely in the middle of the workwear spectrum. One end, of course, is anchored by classic blue-collar stalwarts like Carhartt. Way off to the other side is workwear—or “workwear”—that skews a lot more designer-adjacent than jobsite-ready. Stan Ray is as qualified for capital-W work as any of the other true genre titans, but its clothing somehow manages to straddle that divide a little more comfortably than a regular pair of Dickies pants.

Why am I telling you this? Well, as it happens, an insane selection of Stan Ray is on sale at Nordstrom right now, all of it priced extremely fairly (typical), and all of it destined to look great alongside any of the more refined gear in your closet (also typical).

The brand’s double-knee painter pants—a catalog anchor and an all-time favorite—are just $45, and for your money you’re getting a whole lot more than that. The house-specialty garage jacket is also just $54, and remains the type of jacket that glides into regular fall rotation so effortlessly simply because it crushes with everything else you’re already wearing.

Here’s the snag: Stan Ray isn’t nearly as big as some if its better-known workwear counterparts, so inventory can get limited. And because the prices are insane this week, the selection’s going fast. Suddenly invested in the middle of that workwear spectrum we were talking about? Keep scrolling see what we’re into or head over to Nordstrom to eyeball the whole assortment while you can.
