Fortune Magazine's article (click here) also had a great interactive Flash piece showing the anatomy of J.Crew's high-end $640 suit. Although I appreciate the close-ups (which are shown below), I am not sure if they offer the justification for the $640 price tag. The "canvas front" is the only close up that I feel really shows why the suit is expensive. The "inner pocket" and "jacket cuff" close-up wasn't as insightful as it could have been. (I do appreciate knowing that the cuff has working buttons, but don't most really good quality suits have that?) :) Ultimately, I was hoping to see more inside explanations that would make me say, "Yes! I totally understand now why this suit is better than other suits at similar prices."The following are the corresponding close-ups (which you can click on to see a larger image):
What do you think of this suit? Do you think the close-ups justify the $640 price tag? Would you consider buying this suit (either for yourself or for the man in your life?)
