Target Target

[Matt Deckard]

Went to Target the other week and took another look at their suits. Really well priced and fantastic for somone wanting a wardrobe starter without the expense of... well the expense. Jacket and trousers for about 100 bucks total. Silk ties... pretty good silk ties at that for around 12 bucks, and dress shirts.

Juleus Exavier was wearing one of their cotton sport jackets to the Gamble house tour. Hopefully he can post some pics and give some comments.

Style is spreading.

Well, doesn't that just raise the hair on the cats back. I only thought Target sold khaki's and denim.[huh] You learn something new every day.

 

[Zach R.]

They had some nice repp stripe ties the last time I went in, but I didn't pick them up.

 

[Hemingway Jones]

Target! Wow! I am surprised. I am going to have to investigate!

Target Suits.

Well... Matt thanks for the intoduction. I'll let the miss spelling of my name slide... it's new and takes some getting use to.


As far as the suits and things go from Target here they are.

This is a dark blue pin stripe suit that I wore last year on the QM.

The suit jacket and pants are sold seperately. The jacket depending on your size ranges from $59.99- $64.99

• Men’s dressy tailored-fit suit jacket
• Navy pinstripe
• 2 waist pockets, 1 chest pocket, 2 inner button chest pockets and back slit
• Dry clean only
• Fully Lined

The pants that match the jacket range again depending on your size from $24.99- $29.99.

• Men’s pinstripe dress pants with fashionable flat front
• Navy pinstripe with 2 hip pockets, 2 back pockets (1 with button)
• Classic fit with straight legs and zipper fly with button
• Machine washable

Now onto the Tan Blazer.

I've wanted a tan suit for awhile now because I enjoy the style of the "English Patient" so much and that's what I was shooting for... before this Fedora Lounge get together I neither had the time nor the money to get a tan suit so I settled with this blazer and a pair of Kahki's.

• Linen jacket is perfect for warm weather
• 100% linen with 2 back vents
• Design features a 2-button front, notched lapels, a small pocket on the left chest and 2 waist pockets with flaps
• Front has vertical seaming, sleeves have 4 buttons on each cuff, and the sport coat has an inner pocket with button-and-loop closure
• Machine washable


Well I hope this was informative. To be honest for the price they are not too shabby. I own a couple modern DKNY (Donna Karen New York) suits and it's nice to have a suit that costs me around $100.00 that I won't get all crazy over ruining.

I wonder if they're available in my size... I'll have to check it out.

 

[Zach R.]

What is the material like on the suits? 60/40 Polyester/Wool or something?

 

[The Wingnut]

Impressive! I'll have to swing by Target again soon. Can't beat the prices on Wrangler jeans, and there's some decent interior decor occasionally.

Only problem I have with modern clothing is finding something in my size...I'm a perfect depression era size, so everything in most stores starts one size too large and goes up from there!

 

[Wild Root]

Impressive!

Oh, quit your balling! If only I had your problem! Who needs modern when you can walk into any vintage shop and buy out the place!lol

You poor guy!lol

Target? Really? I will have to check that out.

Occassionally a store called Forever XXI will have dresses that will pass, it is mostly trendy "teeny-bopper" crap, but there are a few, and under $40.

 

[ArrowCollarMan]

Target? I wasn't really impressed by the feel of the suits there. I do seem to remember polyester...although that might have been Kohls. I like how you paired up those khakis and the linen jacket. Looks pretty nice :eusa_clap

 

[Chad Sanborn]

I bought the same tan jacket! I love it. Very lightweight and good for summer time. I paired it up with white pants and a blue shirt. I put a blue and white handkerchief in the breast pocket and sported my tan and white wingtips. A very nice look if I do say so myself. (if only I had pictures to prove it!)

I even wore the coat with ... jeans ... for a more casual look.

I know you men are talking about suits, but lets not forget the ladies. I just checked out Targets web site, and couldn't believe the large selection of very cute, some vintage inspired, dresses, shirts and skirts.

As for quality, you often get what you pay for. But, I have found with Target, the quality is better than the other discount stores that are out there. I have a few pairs of pants that are more than a couple years old, and they are holding up quite nicely.

Wow, Xavier, at first glance of these pictures I thought I was looking at Hemingway Jones. You two could be long lost brothers!! How handsome you look in your fancy duds

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Target's good because they very often have clothing at verrry verrry reduced prices. I'm not prepared to pay more than $20 to replace my only pair of jeans when they wear out. Target often has them at about $12 or so.

There advantage is also having much much larger sizes than many other companies carry. When I was super heavy I'd go there for khakis. Eddie Bouer doesn't carry 48 waist trousers in their stores.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

They're also one of the few stores to go to sizes small enough for us short arses.

[Matt Deckard]

Anyone else have their suits shirt or ties?

 

[Miss Neecerie]

I have this set.....no pictures of it on me yet, but its nicely constructed with lining in the skirt and finished edges inside the jacket...

I will try to take pictures of it on me later...but if it is like the normal level of Target suiting for women, I will be able to wear it all for quite a long time.

How do the suits fit, like are the wide or normal cut etc.?
