Express Stripe Stretch Wool Suit Jacket & Matching Pant – $135.98 ($346)

Part of the Express End of Season Sale.  Orders over $125 ship free through Wednesday 6/13.  Additional 20% off comes before checkout.  No code needed.

Sometimes, some guys, just need a really inexpensive suit that they can get tailored, wear the hell out of on occasion, and not feel too bad about if someone dumps a glass of red wine on them at a wedding.  This candidate has a lot of potential to fill that need.  Now, they did not have the pinstriped version of this “Producer” suit in store, but they did have a glen plaid.  Here’s how that one looked:
.

 Size Shown:  38R.  You’re going to want to size down if you’re in between sizes.  Their “Producer” suiting line runs a little more generous.  Still far from traditional and boxy, but not as slim as their “Photographer” line either.

Observations
  • The wool “Blend” is a 94% wool / 6% spandex.  So the vast majority of it wool.
  • The fabric is good.  Nothing to write home about, but not awful by any stretch either.
  • Fit is decently trim.  Size down though if you’re in between.
  • Button stance is a Ludlow-like lower slung, but it’s not too low either.
  • Drop in the jacket tail seems standard, not chopped (pic above taken from a slightly downward angle)
  • Arm holes aren’t super low.  Not super high either.
  • Shoulder pads could be thinner.  But they’re not awful either.
  • Lapels are slim, but not razor thin.
  • Non functioning buttons at the cuffs, side vents in the rear.  Pants fit well without being too tight.

Again, they didn’t have the exact suit in store for an in-person look, but for $136 and free shipping, it’s hard to ask for more.  Plenty of regular sizes (38, 40, 42, 44) left at post time (UPDATE:  Sizes are going real fast).  Returns free in store.  You are on the hook to ship it back to Express if that’s your only option.  $6.99 for U.S. customers.
