Hold your horses LEC addicts. It’s a good sale, but it’s not a mind blowing sale. There’s a few items that are absolutely worth consideration but it’s not an across the board 30% off or anything. It’s a select items only sale. These would be in contention for the title of best of the best.

Crosby Moc Toe Lace Up Boots – $89.99
* ($149)
Usually picks aren’t listed in any kind of priority, but consider these #1 with a bullet and the rest in no particular order.
*To get these down to $90, use the the MJ11 code and pin 4423 at the top of the page. Ships free too.
Wide Stripe Narrow Tie – $12.99 ($39.50)
The silk is decently thick and doesn’t have too wild of a sheen to it. Ties a decent knot too. Narrower than you’d think but does measure 2 3/4″ at it’s widest point. A basic, but a good looking one. Red and yellow stripes also available.
Corduroy Jacket – $24.99 ($69.50)
Just like a jean jacket… only much easier to wear with jeans than a jean jacket. Brown corduroy, tabs at the waist, and a sub $25 price tag. Gotta love the reviews on this one. While one customer said it’s awfully short and fit him like a cutoff football jersey, “Zed” from New York said: “It’s irritating to see folks give this jacket a poor rating because it doesn’t fit their dumpy, out-of-shape physiques. “ Damn Zed. C’mon now.
Jersey Cotton Rugby – $19.99 ($44.50)
One of your least expensive hoodie alternatives. Hell, one of the least expensive rugby shirts out there period. For whatever reason it’s awfully hard to find a rugby for under $30. This one won’t fit as close as a Ralph Lauren custom fit, but then again, it costs one third to a quarter the price of a RL custom fit.
3-Eye Moccasin – $54.99* ($98.00)
Close to Sebago’s Beacon. The contrast stitching stands out and while they most likely aren’t quite up to the quality of the Sebago version, they’re certainly cheaper. Was $75 during the Friends and Family sale. Use the $10 off code.
Heritage Wool Navy Blazer – $110.99* ($200)
Not actually in the sale section and who knows why. For the guys who lean traditional but don’t want that whole goldish brass button look. Buttons are a matte black metal instead. Wool, not cotton. A real honest to goodness traditional type of Navy blazer with a slightly trimmer fit. Still might need alterations. And a warning about that trip to your tailor: The buttons are functional. *Again, this price reflects the use of the $10 off code at the top of the page.
Leather Lace-Up Boots – $89.99* ($149.00)
I get it. Not everyone likes the contrast stitching. But be warned… the toe isn’t elongated in the least and the toe box is kinda wide. So without the stitching, they might look a little blunt. Available in a deep brown (shown) and black.
Women’s convertible cotton/wool blend gloves – $14.99 ($39.50)
No these aren’t for you, but if you’re close to the $50 threshold and want something to tip you over the edge? Might as well pick up a pair of unique but not too crazy gloves for your wife, girlfriend, or friend who happens to be a woman. (I know you’re out there ladies. I got your back. Or in this case, your forearms and fingers.) Wool/Cotton/Nylon blend, and the arm length section unbuttons to reveal a standard wrist length glove.
The Lands’ End Canvas free shipping and $10 off purchases over $50 code MJ11 and pin 4423 expires 10/15/11
Hmmm, which would you say is more versatile? The brown or black moc toe?
Brown is usually the answer, but the black isn’t that limiting at all. And, the black looks real good with these.
What would you call a cord-on-cord outfit? A Norwegian tuxedo?
Does the Crosby fit true to size?
Did for me. A little stiff to start, but they break in quick.
Hey Joe,
I am, oddly enough, in need of replacing my staple navy blazer. I’m less than delicate with my navy blazers, so behind fit and appearance, price is a big player – would you pull the trigger on the aforementioned wool blazer if it were to be your staple blazer? Thanks for great breakdown.
Best,
Brock
Are you planning on getting the Black or Brown? I can’t decide! The black looks good but brown is just much more traditionally versatile!
Do you know how long the blazer comes? Should I get a reg or short? I’m joe’s height/size from what I’ve read. 5-10 at 170lbs.
I have the mentioned navy sport coat. LOVE IT! I am 6’3 220 and the 46 fit great. The cuff buttons are fully functional, so it will have to fit out of the box for it to work. I left a review on the LEC page on that sport coat. I am hard on mine too and travel for a living. Its more of a hop sack fabric, which is great for year round. Mine is going to a trade show with me next week. I will wear it every day. for the price, no one else comes close.
There is only regular. No long or short.
This is my biggest gripe with LEC. They don’t accommodate tall people.
Anotherjames – I believe most standard jackets are made for a guy 5’10-6′. like golf clubs, but I might be getting the two confused.
I’m 6’4. If you watch for it on sale, the eddie bauer wool navy blazer is a good value, well constructed, although boxy as hell. Post tailor it looks like a much more expensive blazer than the 100 bucks I paid for it.
Damn you Lands’ End Canvas, why won’t you carry smaller sizes ? I would have bought at least three items in this list. Maybe four.
I feel like with black boots people would look at me like I’m wearing Doc Martens.
Hey! I loved my Doc Martens!
Anyone have measurements on the navy blazer in a 38? The problem I have with LEC is that all the jackets are in regular size only. At 5’9, I often need a short.
Just got a reply from a sales rep for the 38:
Across the shoulder is 17 3/4″ and the length is 29 3/4″.
Color me confused… The pictured tie looks Navy/gray but the LEC version looks navy/sky blue. I like your version better. What are the colors?
I’m not sure if Norwegians have ever been known for wearing corduroy… the fabric is definitely English in origin (continental Europeans even refer to it as “Manchester cloth”).
THIS is a Norwegian tuxedo.
Good picks, especially the Crosby boots. If I hadn’t gotten some on-sale Earthkeepers from STP last week I would probably get these (though like everyone else I would be crying in a corner about whether to pick black or brown).
I wish LEC would get with the program and start offering 36. L.L.Bean Signature is way ahead of them on that score.
Thanks for those measurements – I’m around the same height and had the same exact curiosity after discovering it only came in regular.
-Brock
Curses. Seems like the cord jacket’s no longer avaliable.
Smaller sizes would be nice. I’m 5’7″, 130 – love their stuff, but their shirts, jackets, and pants run too big. LEC – please start making XS sizes! 28 waist, 36 / short jacket, XS shirts, etc 🙂
Joe, how’s the comfort on the boots? I’m old mannish when it comes to shoes–don’t care how good they look…not comfortable, not wearing them!
That makes since. Just trying to find another northern country. Though, are Canadians known for wearing lots of denim? That’s a distinctly american thing, right?
It’s a light blue. Blame lighting (and me)
I think they’re plenty comfortable. But I also have runner’s feat that have been beat to hell and back. So as long as I’m in shoes and they’re not wearing blisters on my heel, I think they’re comfortable. These? Pretty comfortable. To me.
Howdy Brock. For just north of $100 and free shipping? It’s probably a pretty good deal. You do get dinged on return shipping charges though if you don’t like it.
Brock, what jackets have you found that fit you? At 5’9 regulars seem to run a bit long, and shorts are either just right or insanely short (depends on the designer).
From what I can tell, a BOC length of around 29″ is perfect.
What i might recommend is the Harrison Suede Chukka Sneaker. I bought a pair at $62 a while ago and bought two more pairs yesterday, in two different orders, at $41 each using the coupon code. (Reg price was a crazy $78.) They look especially good with shorts — or at least I think so. Have a look at this pic and see if you agree:

First day I wore em, some guy came up to me and said, “Hey, where’d you get those? Seriously. Where’d you get em?”
I just kept right on walking….
Totally concur! LL Bean Sig and LEC carry 36 inseam pants, but not long jackets. It’s mind-boggling.
I never buy Lands End… is any of this gear available to try on in Sears? I haven’t stepped foot in Sears for who knows how long.
The shoes look great but don’t come in my size…I need a size 14. This is a problem I run into across the board on clothing sites…anyone know of a place to get nice looking shoes in larger sizes?
Some Sears stores carry Lands End Canvas, some don’t but I’m pretty sure they all carry Lands End. I think you can find out on the Lands End Canvas website.
Thanks Joe. I went with the brown, so we’ll see what’s up when they arrive sometime next week.
Anybody have any idea how those Cosbys would hold up in the rain/snow?
Trigger pulled.
ZS,
It varies so, so much for me. My shoulders and lats are much wider compared to my waist and hips; combine this fact with the different “cuts” and “tailored fits” that each brand evolves and I almost never have consistent jacket sizes. Then I go in to which season the jacket will most oft be donned and I begin to do things like size up for winter jackets so I can wear layers underneath without strangling myself. Finding a jacket is very much a chore. In fact, my last two favorite jackets were from local thrift shops; the most recent of which being an authentic Harris Tweed (with no displayed size) I needed only to have brought in (total cost for jacket + tailoring: $35). It’s my new fall/winter jacket in a great herringbone grey. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help – I’m as nomadic with jackets and brands as they come.
Best Luck,
Brock
PS – I, too, pulled the trigger on the LEC blazer… we’ll have to see how she does.
How do you think these would hold up in the midwest winter/snow?
Not all, unfortunately. I thought so too and was disappointed.
As with any leather boot with a rubber sole, I’m sure they would be fine if you took the time to waterproof them (especially along the seams). I’m guessing you’ll want something warmer for true cold, though.
I’ve heard denim jacket + jeans described as a Canadian tuxedo. But I’m from Montana and I’ve also heard it described as a Montana tuxedo. Maybe corduroy on corduroy is more like a Seattle tuxedo? 😉
Seems as though they don’t accommodate tall people OR small people. Marginalized sizes of the world unite!
As with any leather boot with rubber sole, they will be just fine as long as you take the time to waterproof them beforehand (especially the seam where the sole meets the leather). You’ll probably also want a dedicated winter boot if you live somewhere with genuinely nasty winters, though.
You can buy waterproofing cream or wax at virtually any sporting goods store or any specialty leather store.
I had to go up a half-size from my usual dress shoe size, but that is generally the case for me with Lands’ End shoes.
Another great LEC sale. Good list, but I’m a college student in hot weather, so most of this stuff doesn’t really apply. I wish you’d do more casual stuff! (shirts, shorts, etc.)
…when I was 18 and angsty.
Much obliged!
Probably a crazy question…. 13 for sneakers & 12.5 for most boots. Any suggestions for the Crosby?

So my Navy Blazer arrived. Perfect. I’ll try to cover some things that haven’t been mentioned here yet. I’m 5’10” at a 170 soccer build. The 38R fits very well (except the sleeve length, more on that below). The sleeves are noticeably narrow with noticeably high armholes, but without being constricting. Chest and back are form fitting, again, without being constricting. The color is on the purple side of navy blue, which actually works to its benefit in darker light, as it retains its navy color, rather than a black appearance. The lining is the same navy color, with white and blue striped lining on the interior pockets. This is the ideal blazer because, while it’s “slim”, it is also traditional.
Yes, the buttons are functional. A major plus. I’m on my way to the tailor to drop about $70 to have the sleeves shortened. This alteration cost, combined with Joe’s discount, puts the total cost to me at almost $200. I consider this a major win. This jacket, an absolute wardrobe staple, will be used year round for many years. Thanks Joe.
