Most Wanted Affordable Style – September 2018

Whether you’re looking for gift ideas or a quick upgrade for yourself, expect these to come around about once a month. You’ll find new arrivals and old favorites, especially good deals, or maybe something pricey to keep an eye on for future sales. The potential best of the best, which you may or may not have seen already. Got a tip on something that deserves to end up in the monthly Most Wanted? Send those in here.

 

J. Crew Herringbone English Tweed Blazer in Ludlow or Classic – $298

They’re making their Moon Mills tweed blazers in their more generous, Classic fit now? Excellent. These are always a hit, and for good reason. They’re tweed, but not super stiff or overly thick. You DON’T feel like you’re wearing some old crusty blanket. Quite the opposite, which is impressive for tweed. Just partially lined in the back. Usually takes a little while before these come up for a code or sale. UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who emailed in to point out that the new classic fit option comes with 3.5″ lapels, instead of the 2.5″ that the slim Ludlows come with. 

 

Amazon Goodthreads Selvedge Jeans in Slim, Straight, or Athletic – $50

No external branding or marking. 1% elastane for a little bit of stretch. Deep, dark color. I myself am not a selvedge guy. But we’ve got a pair on the way to one of our contributors who very much is. Stand by for review. Only available to Amazon Prime members, since it’s one of their exclusive Prime-Only brands.

 

Timex Waterbury Sub Second 42mm – $139

Big, big fan of the Gray option with that contrasting black sub-seconds dial. And the white hands don’t hurt. A little spendy to start, but as is almost always the case with Timex, give these new models a little time to trickle down to 3rd party retailers and the prices should drop significantly. 42mm case is wearable by most.

 

Target Goodfellow & Co. Canvas Chore Blazer – $34.99

Not quite a sportcoat. More of a casual piece of light outerwear that can also double as a top layer. Like a rugged cardigan, but not a cardigan. Gotta love Target simply calling this shade “Stick Brown.” Reminds me of a solid joke: What’s Brown & Sticky? … A stick!! That one slays with the under 9 yrs old crowd. Available in standard as well as big & tall sizes.

 

Charles Tyrwhitt Suede Wholecuts – $199

Nice price for a pair of Goodyear Welted Blake Welted, my bad, (many of their shoes are Goodyear though, some are Blake,) dress shoes that are different in all the right ways. Looks pretty sleek from here. Was just 25% off during their Labor Day promotion. Got a pair on the way for a review, so, standby.

 

BONUS: B.R. 100% Cashmere Button Front Hoodie – $298

Holy crap that’s a splurge. Since it’s cashmere, it’s usually either excluded from sales and promos, or, only gets a 30% cut when it IS included. So it’s gonna be spendy.
