Hi! My name is Witold (pronounced "vee-told") and I am the founder of BlackerFriday.com. After many years working in corporate america, I decided it was time to take a break to pursue my real passion — helping people save money. Ever since I was a little boy selling pencils in the playground to my kindergarden friends, later collecting aluminum cans from all my neighbors in elementary school to support my baseball card addiction, eventually becoming an eBay Power Seller in my older years to support my college education, I had an eye for spotting deals. I’ve taken what I have learned over the years and built Blacker Friday to bring you the best Black Friday rumors, predictions, and news website. Fortunately I'm not alone in this - We have a great team of dedicated folks helping make this site possible.

Vince Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

Vince is getting ready for its Black Friday 2025 sale, and if it follows the same pattern as past years, you can expect an early start, simple discounts, and plenty of pieces included in the promotion. Below is a breakdown of when the sale will likely begin, the kinds of items that usually get the best markdowns, the discount levels to watch for, and some examples from last year that give an idea of what might be back again this season.


Black Friday 2025 Sale Timing

The sale is likely to begin on Wednesday, November 19, 2025 (that’s 8 days before Thanksgiving), and extend through Sunday, December 1, 2025 (the day before Cyber Monday). You’ll be able to shop the event at Vince retail stores within the U.S. and at vince.com (outlet locations excluded).


Expected Discount Levels

In 2024, Vince offered 25% off full-priced and sale-priced merchandise with the promo code HOTELVINCE. It is expected that the same discount will apply in 2025, although the code will likely be different.

This type of discount is notable because it is not limited to only full-price items. When combined with existing markdowns, the additional 25% can lower prices significantly. For example, if a sweater originally priced at $248 was already marked down by 40% to $149, applying the extra 25% off would bring it to about $112.

It’s also important to keep in mind that during past Black Friday sales, Vince applied an $8 ground shipping fee to online orders under $250. Orders over $250 qualified for free shipping. This policy is likely to remain in place for 2025.


Typical Exclusions

Some exclusions usually apply. Based on prior years, you should expect:

  • Vince Outlet stores not being part of the promotion.

  • International orders excluded.

  • A limited number of select styles, often including new arrivals or specialty items, left out of the discount.

Checking the fine print on Vince’s website when the sale begins is the best way to confirm which items are excluded.


Examples from Last Year

Several examples from 2024 illustrate how discounts applied across different categories:

  • Rib-knit cashmere sweater: Originally $248, reduced to around $186 after the 25% discount.

  • Shearling-trim mules: Marked down to $225 from their original price, with the extra discount lowering them to under $170.

  • Cotton crew tee: Reduced from $98 to approximately $73.

  • Trench-style coat: Full price at $398, dropped to about $298 during the sale.

Vineyard Vines Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

Vineyard Vines is expected to bring back its tiered holiday promotions for Black Friday 2025. Based on last year’s schedule, you can look for three major phases: an early Black Friday event, the main Black Friday sale, and potentially a Cyber Monday promotion that may include the steepest discounts.


Expected Early Black Friday 2025 Sale

  • Dates: Expected to run from Wednesday, November 19, 2025, through Wednesday, November 26, 2025 (ending right before Thanksgiving).

  • Typical discount structure:

    • 30% off most items with a minimum spend of $125

    • 40% off most items with a minimum spend of $200

  • Access: Available online at vineyardvines.com and at retail stores (excluding outlets).

  • Common exclusions: Gift cards, monogramming, personalization, and third-party branded products.

This early promotion is usually the first chance to shop, but the discounts tend to be smaller than those that follow.


The Main Black Friday 2025 Sale

  • Dates: Expected to begin on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 2025, and end by Saturday, November 29, 2025, or while supplies last.

  • Likely Discount structure:

    • 40% off full-price and sale items.

    • 50% off select “doorbuster” styles.

    • Possible free gift (only on Black Friday). Last year, if you spent $200+ you received a free the blanket and if you spent $350+ you received a free blanket and tote bag.
  • Promo code: Last year’s was FRIDAY24, but a new code is likely in 2025 (possibly FRIDAY25).

  • Where to shopvineyardvines.com, retail stores, and by phone. Not valid at outlet stores or on outlet-specific items.

  • Limitations: No price adjustments, exclusions on shipping and taxes, and discounts cannot be combined with other offers.

Doorbuster items in 2024 included sweaters, fleece, polos, outerwear, lounge sets, tees, saltwater quarter-zips, and the Dreamcloth collection. These categories are likely to appear again.


Should You Wait Until Cyber Monday?

In 2024, Vineyard Vines released its strongest discounts online during Cyber Monday. The event began the Sunday before Cyber Monday and ran through 11:59 p.m. PT on Monday.

  • Discount structure (from 2024):

    • Up to 60% off site-wide

    • An additional 40% off items already in the sale section

  • Promo code: MONDAY24

  • Access: Online only

If the same structure returns in 2025, Cyber Monday may offer the deepest markdowns of the season, making it a key time for anyone waiting for maximum savings.
