I'm 29 now, and have even become a father, so J. Crew has become a bit of a memory for me, but my wife still shops there on occasion. Recently, I was in one of their stores and noticed a small selection of two color rep ties that were very well made, in my opinion, for the money. If I saw a college student in a well fitting navy blazer, simple button-down and one of these ties, I would be suitably impressed.
