Full honesty here. These both look like projects. Your tailor might have to hack the hell out of them and they’re risky at best. But maybe, just maybe, they could end up being a favorite at a dirt cheap price.
Here’s to hoping these look better in person than they do online. The seersucker sport coat looks the most homely by far. Maybe that’s because both buttons are buttoned and the slanted/hacking jacket pockets seem to wonk up the front with the vertical lines. The lapels also look like they could be pressed down another inch or so towards the buttons. Just a couple of issues with that one.
The Ticking Stripe jacket looks like it has more potential as a year round casual sport coat. The true blue should look better than decent with dark wash jeans, cords, etc, and it looks like it could be a cheaper replacement for the now on sale J. Crew Striped Twill Ludlow.
They’re from the L&T house brand Black Brown 1826, and the full retail price of $225 seems more than a little inflated. But at this price are they worth the risk? Leave your take in the comments, especially if you’ve seen either in person. Shown below, the on-sale J. Crew, now $90.99 on FINAL sale w/code MUSTSHOP.

Ticking Stripe jacket is only available in medium.
Looks like they’re selling fast then.
It says that the length from “shoulder to hem” for the ticking stripe is 28″, which is pretty short if they are using the standard measure of along the back seam from the bottom of the collar to the bottom of the jacket. I am 5 ft 7 and have an Old Navy linen blazer that is just shy of completely covering my butt and it is 29″. And, one inch makes a lot of difference if you have measured a jacket before. For instance, I have sport coats that I consider a bit too long for me that are 30.75 inches.
Like a lot of stuff on Lord & Taylor’s website, I agree, doesn’t make a lot of sense. Plus, you’d think a Small would have a different length than a Large. Y’know?
Yikes, those hacking pockets. Homely is right, Joe.
Pulled the trigger on the Ticking Stripe jacket. For such a low price (and drastic price decrease), hopefully it’ll turn out well…
