Ludlow Slim-fit unstructured suit jacket in English cotton-wool blend twill
2008, proving that you can get a suit made with the world's best fabrics and with details you'd find in a four-figure suit for a fraction of the cost. Today, the Ludlow comes in two fits and new fabrics from renowned mills every season. Introduced in 2017, our Ludlow unstructured suit has become a customer favorite. Unpadded and with unlimited ways to wear it, we call it the Un-suit, and it's the most versatile suit you can own. We cut this suit jacket in fabric from Abraham Moon & Sons, which is renowned as one of the world's finest fabric mills. Abraham Moon & Sons (established 1837 in Guiseley, England) is one of the last in Great Britain to handle everything from dyeing to spinning to finishing, all in one place.

Highly recommended
November 21, 2022This was the first suit that I purchased from J Crew. I now own around 18 suits (not all J Crew). This is the perfect ‘Everyday’ suit. Easy to maintain and not expensive. I had both the jacket and pants tailored for a more European fit so another $90.00, but well worth it. I’m glad I bought 2 of the same suit (navy) because I wear them often. I would definitely recommend the Ludlow line from J Crew but factor in that if you are tall and slim you should still get them tailored.

Needs tailoring
July 5, 2022Great ‘workhorse’ suit but if you are used to European fits you will need to get it tailored. The pants were spot on but I needed to have the jacket waist slimmed.

Very Good basic suit
March 9, 2022This is a very good basic suit. If you have small narrow shoulders the unstructured nature of the jacket will best fit you but also provides a slightly less formal look. The lack of lining and the jacket being a 51% cotton and 49% wool blend makes this a light and breathable jacket. Normally cotton jackets tend to wrinkle pretty easy but the wool helps keep the suits shape. I will say the jacket is a bit stiff and coarse but maybe that will soften with more wears. The suit is your prototypical Ludlow slim fit, however it's a tad odd that JCrew opted for a more formal length considering this is a more casual suit. If this jacket was more blazer length, this could be worn simply as a sports coat. I am 5'5" and a 34S off the rack fit me with no alterations. You could wear this all four seasons since it looks and wears just like an jersey fabric suit, but due to it's composition and it being unlined most people will see it as a spring and summer suit

Wanted to like it, but
February 13, 2022I own the upgrade version of this suit in blue and so I thought buying the same 'style' in a different color, for less money would be fine. Alas. The 46L doesn't fit. Shoulders are tight, and after putting it on I got a stark reminder to loose a bit of weight. Its a return, and a bummer, as the 4 season Italian Ludlow is great quality, fits, and makes me feel good about myself.

Great Fit for my Slim Son
January 31, 2022My son is tall and slim. It is so hard to find a jacket for young men with this build. Thankfully J.Crew has the solution! We are very happy with the jacket. However, I wish that it was lined. And why does it have to be made in China? I am working hard to buy items made in the USA.

Purchased off the rack
October 15, 2021Purchased straight off the rack the day before a wedding in Vegas. Appreciate the clean skim finish and the fact the pants came hemmed. Literally bought it and wore it. Perfect suit for a casual wedding.
