The Boots: Crosby Moc Toe Lace Up – $149.00
At first they felt a little stiff but they loosened up quick. The best looking boots you’ll actually enjoy getting dirty. The toe is rounded off evenly and not elongated, so it has more of a rustic look. The top stitching dresses it up, and adds a great contrast to the leather. The black option looks great against a smooth brown rubber (not leather) sole.
The Jeans: Heritage Straight Fit in Resin Rinse – $59.50
Lands’ End Canvas has started to source their denim cotton from the U.S.A. Manufacturing has been kept in this hemisphere (Mexico.) The fit is solid as well. Some guys think the LEC Straights are too trim. But a measuring tape shows they have a little more room than 501s. Not skinny by any means, nor baggy. Stay with the resin rinse.
The Blazer: Marled Blazer – $63.99 ($129.50)
Will absolutely need tailoring. This is an interesting one because it has no lining and while the marled fabric is mid weight, it feels awfully like an INC ultra light on your body. That’s good. But it’s real boxy off the rack. That’s not so good. It also comes with functioning buttons so that could be an issue. Three button front but the lapels come pre-rolled over to two. Extremely comfortable, but does need some post purchase work. (Post tailoring seen above)
The Sweater: Cotton Cashmere V-Neck – $59.90
It’s trimmer through the sides but not quite slim. That’s true for most L.E.C. stuff. Lightweight, smooth, and a deeper V than you’d expect which isn’t drastically low. A little darker in person and a great color. 5% cashmere.
The Shirt: Buffalo Check Poplin – $24.99 ($49.50)
Cooler weather doesn’t mean you have to ditch bold patterns. Instead of a black and red buffalo check hunter’s jacket, a washed poplin with that big pattern is a good way to break up all your fall solids. On sale. Button down collar.
The Bag: 1963 Trip Bag – $140.00
The real deal as far as waxed canvas is concerned. Got some muddy water on this while taking the photos, and the water beaded up, even right over the zipper. Good size and nice details. Function first, looks a close second.
Final Total: $497.38 (and feel free to take an extra 25% off with the friends and family code.)
Now it’s your turn. Choose your favorite piece from the outfit above and leave your pick in the comments below. One comment will be drawn at random and that person will win the $500 L.E.C. giftcard to buy this, or any other $500 combination of merchandise from Lands’ End Canvas. One entry per person. Deadline for entry is 11:59pm ET. on Thurs. 9/29/11. Good luck!
Buffalo check poplin is awesome!
I love the Moc Toe Lace Ups. With the changing season, they’re probably something I plan on picking up regardless of this contest.
Huge fan of the bag!
I personally like the Buffalo Check Poplin. Great way to add contrast to an outfit while still keeping it classy.
The boot looks amazing for fall!
A terrific contest! Thanks Joe, and Lands’ End.
The Trip Bag looks great and seems a perfect size (roomy, yet carry-on) but I’m going to go with the jeans as my favorite. Looks like a nice clean cut with excellent stitching.
The bag looks perfect!
Moc Toe all the way, everyday and every season
the boots are the best. a nice change of pace in black…
The soft cotton Marled Blazer, hands down. This and a proper v-neck sweater make for some serious fall layering potential.
That poplin shirt is definitely an attention grabber and my favorite part of the is outfit.
The Trup Bag, for rue. I’ve been looking forever for an affordable good-looking weekend bag. That one looks like just the thing. Thank God I’m destined to win this gift card so I can buy it.
The blazer looks great after it’s had some work, but I love the boots.
Heritage Straight Fit in Resin Rinse
I’m going to say the jeans because it’s so versatile.
It be hard to make that buffalo poplin look bad.
I like the 1963 trip bag, would look a lot better next to me then the one I currently have.
The boots are great!
The soft cotton twill Marled Blazer, hands down. This and a proper v-neck sweater could make for some serious fall layering potential.
1963 Trip Bag
The 1963 Trip Bag is the perfect Fall weekend bag. I would plan a trip just to use it.
I love the look of those Moc Toe boots! I just bought them in brown and now this is making me want the black ones before I even have the first pair.
the poplin shirt is great!
Overall a really nice outfit! I like the v-neck sweater best, mainly because I really like v-necks, but also because that color brings in the color of fall the the outfit and really compliments the blues well.
The weekend bag is a winner for me.
That’s a really nice pair of boots. Definitely my favorite out of the bunch
I’m definitely digging the Crosby Moc’s. Something I’d definitely rock with the upcoming coldness.
Great looking buffalo plaid shirt. Especially when paired with the v-neck.
I’d have to go for the either the boots of the V-neck. Had V-necks on
the mind lately but it’s still >90F here so it’ll be a while before
I’m wearing those.
It’s a toss up between the blazer and the jeans. I’m going to have to go with the jeans though since they look like they would fit me just how I like. The blazer is the most interesting though. I just hope they aren’t sold out of medium before I win this contest.
Oh, sweet boots.
The boots for sure, winter is on its way, might as well look good.
Love the trip bag!
The boots are the best, and I am not typically a boot person.
Digging on the trip bag. Looks perfect for a weekend.
Not even $500 could make me want that outfit if I have to take the blazer. If by some mischance this comment is drawn at random pass and draw another.
That blazer looks great. Love the fabric.
It’s got to be the boots. One of the best deals I’ve seen so far this fall on a great looking boot.
Men loves shoes as much as much as women; they just hide it.
I love Moc Toe Lace ups!
Crosby Moc toe boots
The cashmere sweater for sure!
The bag. By far the best part of that outfit
Can’t go wrong with v-neck sweaters.
Easily the bag.
The stunning poplin shirt!
Poplin shirt for sure, it’s stunning in this getup
Poplin Shirt
gotta go with the blazer, I need a new jacket in my life
The marled blazer can tone down my work attire or dress up my friday night look.
I have to go with the Marled Blazer. Dresses up casual very well.
In my experience LEC bags are indestructible, but if I had to pick one item here it would a close call with the boots.
Poplin w/ a little tailoring. Solid.
I’m a fan of that v-neck
I’d have to go with the 1963 Trip Bag. You could fit a lot of style in that bag for a great weekend.
I like that trip bag
Love those boots, rugged and good looking to “boot”.
That Marled Blazer would fit the bill for me.
The shirt and the bag are on a different tier than the rest. I’ll go with the shirt because of the value.
Gotta be the boots
1963 Trip Bag. Nothing like a 60’s trip bag to complement a 60’s Mustang.
The Heritage Straight Fit in Resin Rinse are nice looking, but the 1963 Trip Bag hits me as a great retro piece. Of course I was born in 1963 so that year is special to me!
those boots…
Love the Crosby Moc-toe boots. They will be mine one day.
Great shirt.
those boots are great… strong but still good looking
It would be the blazer for me. It looks so Fall and so good.
Definitely the Buffalo check!
Love the Buffalo shirt!
I would say the boots. I have bought both the blazer and the jeans and had to return both because they fit me so poorly 🙁
Gotta go with the boots.
DIgging that Buffalo Check Poplin
Those boots!
Blazer, no doubt.
The boots, a classic style
I’m a fan of the bag!
1963 Trip Bag – I’ve always wanted a bag like this!
Somehow I always pick the most expensive item, but this time I dodged the bullet by choosing the second highest priced — the 1963 Trip Bag.
Clearly the boots.
Sharp Blazer. Versatile for sure.
Love the Crosby boots, although I owe a couple pairs of the straight fit jeans… last seasons at $15 are a steal of a deal
Definitely the Crosby Lace Ups. Count me in.
Definitely the blazer – been on the fence about picking that bad boy up for about six months.
The trip bag – I’m tired of over-stuffing my messenger bag for weekend trips.
Great contest guys.
I need a pair of boots and was thinking about these already.Make it happen?
I like the bag. This would be a great upgrade for me over the black nylon duffle.
I really like that Buffalo check poplin shirt!
That v-neck looks comfortable ad stylish. That’ll be my pick.
Wow… um… I have to say the boots personally as they’re just sharp. The bag is a close second however.
nice look! loving the boots
Marled Blazer got’s my vote!
I have to go with the boots.
The poplin look great
I’d definitely have to go with the cashmere V-neck although the boots are a nice choice as ewll.

My vote goes for the bag…….

The V-neck sweater.
Dem Boots!
Cashmere v-neck
Those boots are amazing! Perfect for fall.
The Trip Bag is great
Love the cashmere v-neck
The blazer. I don’t think the LEC pictures ever did that jacket justice.
With a classic but with a modern kick, bet on the Crosby Moc Toe Lace Ups as stepping up your game. These versatile boots look as good as they feel – whether with Heritage Chinos or Straight Fit Jeans
I could use those boots!
gotta be the shoes
I’m definitely a fan of the marled blazer.
I’ll take the bag and Buffalo Check Poplin for a weekend excursion to Mystic.
It’s a toss up between the marled blazer and the boots. I think the boots win. All excellent, though.
1963 trip bag!~ gotta love canvas!
Love the trip bag. Could really use one of those.
I’m a fan of the Buffalo Poplin shirt. A great basic to pair with almost any fall sweater or blazer.
Definitely the boots.
I need a nice pair of boots for the harsh winter ahead!
Dark denim always win.
it’s the marled blazer for me. the texture keeps it visually interesting, but not loud and in-your-face. looks like something my fiancee would like to cozy up to!
I like the bag best.
My vote is for the boots!
The blazer is my favorite.
I like the boots–maybe the blazer is a close second.
It’s blazer season!
I’m liking those Moc Toe boots.
Cotton Cashmere V-Neck for me.
Marled Blazer, hands down. Looks awesome.
I have been kind of obsessed with the Crosby Moc Toe Lace Up since you first posted it. My budget only allows one boot for now, and that one appears to meet all of my needs. Well done on their part.
The moc toe boots. I’d be sure to get some mud on em in VT
blazer wear!
Love the look of the shirt.
The Marled blazer!
I’ve gotta say the boots!
Definately the shirt
I really love the LEC jeans…nothing too fancy, but the fit is great!
The camel sweater, just about anything layered over that camel sweater is going to look amazing.
Buffalo Check Poplin for sure.
I’m definitely going Crosby Moc toe. They look great.
I’ve been in the market for a new bag for a while now and had my eye on The Trip Bag for ages, I love it. That blazer is real nice too, but a lot of work. Sticking with the bag as my favorite.
