Does this suit look familiar?
Sure does. It seems to mimic the new Fine Stripe Cotton Ludlow suit from J. Crew. Our suit of the year.
The Lapels are a bit shorter on the jacket from Express, and the stripes also seem to be just a bit thicker. Unlike the J. Crew suit, this one is corded cotton which will look different that just regular cotton (think extremely low profile seersucker). It’s still a whip-smart and nicely unique pick for a guy who wants a summer suit that’s not the standard khaki colored chino.
At $100 less than the J. Crew suit, it’ll look almost as good for about 2/3rds of the J. Crew Price.
Don’t follow the model’s lead and go with a darker tie. Otherwise you end up looking like an Easter Egg.
It's nice when a brand warns their customers in advance of raising their prices.
Spring ready sneakers, grooming goods, watches, etc. Saddle up. Amazon's spring sale is on.
New sportcoats. Italian desert boots. J. Crew dips their promo-toes into spring.
From de-scaling irons to shining shoes to smelling coat pits. Let's clean up our act.
New Seikos are on sale, and J. Crew's Suit event is expiring soon.
The two Bs go head to head, collar to collar, and lapel to lapel.
