J. Press revisits its New Haven stronghold with a summer collection steeped in collegiate codes. Madras blazers, seersucker suits, and corduroy shorts lay the groundwork for a season defined by warm-weather tailoring and off-duty sport classics.
The standout combinations pair cotton knitwear with Oxford shirts and walkable shorts, reinforcing the label’s ability to balance bookish with playful.
This season, the American-made foundation runs deep. The patchwork madras jackets and striped rugby act as infrastructure. Meanwhile, the accessories hold their ground with belts and ties recalling prep school halls and chapel steps.
Rugby stripes in navy and yellow meet summer tweed jackets in tonal browns, all worn with the ease of someone who understands that tradition gains strength through consistency.
Tennis sweaters layered over button-downs, seersucker suits paired with patterned ties, and unlined sport coats styled with khakis highlight a smart summer wardrobe. Altogether, the clothes reflect a continuity of values, a steady cadence passed through generations, pressed and ready for a new semester.
