Lands’ End Canvas has been one of the biggest affordable men’s style success stories in years. Lands’ End was the brand your Dad wore. It was all boxy. Like brightly colored Eddie Bauer stuff with less character. But their Canvas line carries the right blend of J. Crew style and traditional Lands’ End Pricing and Simplicity. Head on over here to the Fall 2010 Preview, then c’mon back for some immediate yes/no knee jerk reaction.
Heritage Stripe Crewneck Tee: $19.50 – No.
Seriously? $20 for a tee? Who are you, J. Crew?
Heritage Stripe Oxford: $34.50 – Yes.
Plenty of color options. It’ll be better when it goes on sale.
Plaid Lightweight Herringbone Work Shirt: $34.50 – No.
Wayyyyy too busy.
Heritage Pattern Poplin: $34.50 – Yes.
Just like the Heritage Stripe Oxford, only a little louder.
Heritage Feeder Stripe V-Neck: $49.50 – Maybe.
Fifty bucks for a sweater is pushing it.
Heritage Stripe V-Neck: $49.50 – Yes.
A little pricey, but those bigger stripes make the difference.
Field Pants: $49.50 – Nope.
Gap Original Khakis will do just fine.
Leather Workboot: $149.50 – No.
Stay slim. Unless you’re dead set on getting something red-wing like.
3-Eye Moccasins: $98.00 – Yes.
I know the toe is similar to the above work boot, so giving a yes seems a little hypocritical. But these are unique. And the contrast stitching looks great on that shape. Seeing those makes me think of wool socks and dark beer.
Best in Show – So far? Has to be those 3-Eye Moccasins.
