I just bought these from JCrew clearance for $40 bucks to help with my professional attire.... Chinos and button ups?
I bought the leather ones, i was wondering what you guys think of them.

Nice.

Im jealous theres no jcrew local to me that I can just go to during lunch and the one that is remotely close is so small that there isn't even a sale section.

[MENTION=8245]ninpb[/MENTION], I hear you. I got spoiled in Asheville. The store was a 10-minute drive from my office. I can't tell you how many extended lunch hours I spent there. Since moving away, our closest store is a good hour away. Things could be worse, but there's no more spontaneous shopping. Maybe that's a good thing, actually!

In all seriousness, when we were considering moving, one of the things that factored in was the closeness to the J. Crew store. I kept thinking how much I'd miss it. I almost let that stop me from moving! I think I had a problem.

Thinking of grabbing this Lands' End seersucker shirt at 25 percent off.

Anybody familiar with it? Or any thoughts?

Any particular reason for going with the regular fit? I would think LE's tailored fit would be a better choice for most reasonably in-shape guys. (Their tailored fit is still not super slim.)

Nevermind... just saw they don't have a seersucker shirt in tailored fit.

Good question, [MENTION=2341]LesserBlackDog[/MENTION]. While I find myself in reasonably good shape these days, I also find myself wanting a more relaxed or traditional fit. I have another Lands' End shirt, the blackwatch Viyella in the regular fit, and I really enjoy the bigger fit. I like not only how it feels but also how it looks, more American traditional or Ivy league. In general, I'm moving away from slim fits.

Ninpb - I probably need to stop shopping, must move away from jcrew! haha(graduate school just started today)
Shane - Thats what i thought but i googled them and couldnt find any info so I was kind of hesitant. Final sale though so i'm stuck with them!

[M. Montaigne]

Yup! Good eye.

Just purchased my first seersucker shirt since my college years umpteen years ago. Looking forward to this. Ordered the long-sleeved button-down collar in blue stripes from Lands' End.
