Is it me or have the same things been coming out for a few years now? And where does a company like J. Crew get off charging so much for dress shirts, you can’t tell me that its because of the quality?

Hey just cause Ralph has shown a similar look before, doesn’t give him complete authority of the trend. I’m a huge Ralph fan, but at the end of the day I struggle to find anything without the damn polo pony logo. J. Crew provides the cool factor without the billboard logo. Also, most guys really couldn’t tell if style was “last year” or not…we’re talking timeless classics here.

From page 138 of The Preppy Handbook:

“Basic style for the man never changes because the man never changes. Elderly as a child, youthful as an adult, he is always a mixture of schoolboy and corporate president. One year the corduroys may be embroidered with little ducks, the next year with whales. But there is never, ever, a new look for the man.”

this is last seasons :( wa wa waaaaaaaa
might i add to the conversation, that j.crew clothing is more expensive than gap, but also better quality. within the past year i would say, they have been becoming more of a luxury brand. their leather bags come from the same tannery that does louis vuitton and hermes.
i would also comment however, that i absolutely love their women’s things, but their mens have been lacking. i buy my boyfriend basics and shoes, but there hasn’t been anything within the past that i have just been absolutely dying for him to wear. i’m not quite sure how they would go about revamping mens, but they could push it a little more.

I think before you characterize a company as immoral, you should have substantial facts on your side. We live in an increasingly global world and I’m glad to see more of the world’s people participate.

Comparing The Gap to J Crew is like comparing J Crew to Engineered Garments. It is all in the fabric and details. But I wear clothes from all three brands, sometimes at the same time. I like Gap t-shirts, J Crew waffled henleys and EG’s shirts and field jackets.

S. Acton,

Honestly, ACL’s sole mission isn’t only to talk about things made in America. I like to highlight that sort of stuff, and I try to support American manufacturing whenever possible, but at the end of the day I wear clothes from J Crew and lots of other brands all mixed together. The high with the low. This website is about clothes and style, not labor policies.
