Canvas Is The New Tweeds? Maybe!

LANDS' END CANVAS
They call it 

"Authentic Inspiration...

Classic Interpretation" .

I call it Tweeds redux and I love it!

Remember Tweeds? The catalogue which had a good

 five year run from about 1987 - 1993.

It was started by a couple of J Crew discontents

 and had a solid  following.of funky, cosmopolitans.

 It was acquired by Hanover and then, 

eventually disappeared -it happens..

All was good, for a while,  because there was still

 J Crew- which was coming up with 

season after season of solidly

elegant, casual looks for the prep wannna be,

while their merchandising and styling
continued to be solid and and well rehearsed. .

Until, within the last two years or so, 

when the styling has looked more like young urban 

bag lady than the American sophisticated casual  they

 had always oozed.

Where was that warm and fuzzy,

modern, sophisticated, lived in sensibility 

that I loved about Tweeds.

Enter Canvas by Lands' End...

I think CANVAS  is pretty 

familiar and cool, like an old friend.

Right?
