Well here's a thread that's sure to die a quick death...

Recently I've been bored with J. Crew's offerings and have been seeking out alternatives with a lower cost other than Land's End Canvas. I've found a couple things from the American Living line (designed by Ralph Lauren for JC Penney). Most of it is unmistakable RL style but with a lower quality and lower price point. Value doesn't seem bad though but items are hit or miss.

Anyone else?

I have an american living carry-on size suitcase that I got for $30 down from $300 and it really has served me well. Can't say i would buy any of the clothes though???

As usual, the nerd hall monitor comes and ruins everything.
