J. Crew’s Ludlow The Suit du Jour

Wednesday, 14 September 2011 | by Pat's Picks

“Hey, man—is that a Ludlow?” That, according to the New York Observer, is the catchphrase du jour amongst a certain group of young professionals. The Ludlow, a slim-fit suit produced by J. Crew, has attained the type of cult following not seen in mens fashion since heyday of the Members Only jacket. The Observer says the suit’s popularity is due in large part to its “vaguely Mad Men dimensions.” Explains a J. Crew designer: “It is skinny, but not too skinny—it is still socially acceptable. And it’s still a modern suit without it being too edgy or too trendy.”
