I looked at my sale orders from last year. They are from early december. But I am in Europe and I clicked on their "private sale" link in a promotional email I received, so that may have been it.Agree. That jacquard trucker is available from other retailers which tends to imply it will make it to sale. I got mine from Canoe Club and used their SF coupon. It does fit fairly trim so if between sizes, you'll likely want the larger.
Last winter sale started first week of January. It's been that way in the US for a while. It used to start mid December I think.
