Rag & Bone Athletic Fit Jeans, $49 (was $238)
Why do we like this deal?
Some people say that the best denim in the world is Japanese selvage. There is some truth in this, but those jeans are usually expensive, making the price incomprehensible to many buyers. Thankfully, most jeans from reputable US-based brands are also really good. For example, Rag & Bone is one that many people consistently look for for comfort and quality. And while even their average pair is expensive — in some cases, on par with Japanese selvage — a pair of them are available for less than $50 at Nordstrom Rack during the retailer’s Clear the Rack sale.
The Rag & Bone Athletic Fit Jeans, also known as the Fit 3, are on sale for $49, which is 79% off the original $238 price. To get this price, add a pair to your cart and see an additional 25% off the on-page price. A single reviewer gave them a perfect 5-star rating (though many others would agree), and they come in waist sizes 29 to 40 with a standard 32 inseam. Keep in mind that Nordstrom Rack’s Clear the Rack sale is always a disaster – sizes of popular items are gone within days. If you want a pair of these jeans, don’t wait to get them in your cart.

What shoppers need to know
- Material: 99% cotton and 1% spandex
- Suitable: Slim Straight Fit (Fit 3)
- Best Washing Method: by hand
There are nice jeans, and then there are Rag & Bone jeans, beloved for their high-quality feel and fabric. This specific pair is 99% cotton and 1% spandex, giving you supreme comfort and a bit of stretch (Rag & Bone jeans are known for being a little stiffer than most stretch pairs you’ll find elsewhere). As far as practicality and care go, these jeans have plenty of pockets, and when the time comes to do so, it is recommended to wash them not by machine, but by solid hand. Otherwise, use them frequently—you shouldn’t be washing them that often anyway.
If you’re curious about fit, athletic fit jeans, commonly called Fit 3, are designed specifically for muscle building and generally run true to size. They are particularly comfortable and spacious in the seat and thigh, allowing avid runners, cyclists and general fitness enthusiasts to enjoy them.
