J. Crew Seersucker Question

[Grenadier]

I'm considering getting this suit for the summer. The firm I'll be interning at said seersucker was perfectly acceptable; the HR manager sounded excited that I asked about them, in fact.

How would this fit? The local J. Crews don't carry the item, so I can't try it on. The lining is rayon, so I'd probably have it taken out. I normally have to get suits slimmed down a bit.

Thanks so much!

Jackets run a bit short which is alright with me. Fit is moderatley slim and I think it has a pretty nice cut. Material is fine. Construction ok. Shoulders have a bit too much wadding for me. But, the real problem is the armholes are ginormous. Try lifting your arm and the whole jacket goes flying off.

Your local J Crew will order it for you with free shipping if you want to try one.

Any worse than Jos. A. Bank armholes? That appeared to be the other option in my price range with flat front trousers.

The 'nicer' jackets (i.e. the more expensive ones) have smaller armholes, but only just so. We're talking maybe 1" difference. Not much.
