Not a jacket I really feel like buying, although if some Friday this summer I notice it "On The Counter," for $39, in a traditional fit and a size that works for me, I might buy it. I mean, I'm sure it wouldn't be the finest jacket in my closet, but for an item I'd wear more or less for fun, a couple of times per year, I suspect it'd be just fine.

Plus, my $39 could be what keeps Sears from going out of business, right?

As something of an aside, for much of last year, it seemed that not a week went by without LE offering 30% or 40% off, via coupon. But lately, such coupons have all but vanished. I kind of miss them.

I think Sears having them on the block is more than likely the cause of this.

I have to assume that when patch Madras is being sold in a Sears store, it is dead as a fashion-forward item. I never did get the patch Madras thing anyway. Imo, one of the virtues of trad (as opposed to, say, preppy) is that it is relatively inconspicuous.

They do seem to have changed their policy, but the online store has concurrent 25 per cent and 30 per cent sales running right now on a lot of things. That poplin jacket is 25 per cent off right now.

While Madras never did anything for me when I was in college and still doesn't, their Irish linen jackets @7.5 oz with unlined body could be a definite plus come July-September in SoCal. And it comes in traditional blue, as well. Man can't have too many blue odd jackets, don'tcherknow.

I called yesterday about the oddity of not having a traditional cut as well, and the rep didn't know why. Now I received the new LE catalog (Irish Linen cover) and it specifically states they're only available in a tailored fit. I wonder at the reasons for that (Do tailored cuts sell better at LE?).

Other than the non-existent lapels the jacket doesn't look too bad. As for some of the other madras items, there are definitely some better options available and for a lower price like a madras belt from Leatherman Ltd for $35 versus $50 from LE. I guess outsourcing to China doesn't always result in a lower price. :tongue2:
