(Note: I apologize if this is getting tedious, but I don’t have consistent internet access right now, and all of my worldly possessions are locked in a metal box in Harlem, so I don’t have much time to sit and ponder and write for the time being. Also, I find this extremely amusing.)
Item #4 of the 12-piece Fall 2007 “Fit for the Classroom, Fit for the Hood” fashion line is a cotton multi-striped crew neck by JoS. A. Bank.
There is a very simple equation when you’re shopping on a budget for cross-over fits that wear as well in the classroom as they do on the street:
- High End retailer + gaudy colors + last year’s line + size XL = HUGE DISCOUNT
Apparently this equation is a kept-secret within the fashion industry that was leaked in 1985 by someone within the Tommy Hilfiger organization, and most recently was leaked by someone within Lacoste. Today I share that the VERY SAME EQUATION works at Men’s clothier JoS. A. Bank.

Fall 2007 Product Line
JoS. A. Bank — Men’s Multi Striped Cotton Crewneck
The multi colored blue cotton crew is an appropriate item on the Columbia University campus, since the school colors are some bastardized version of Tarheel blue and white.
Because it is a smidgen classier than previous items, the crew can be worn in dressier occasions (such as taking your girl out to Olive Garden, or going to Church) with creased khaki’s, wire framed glasses (no prescription, for decorative purposes only), and black sneakers.
The suggested retail for ths item is $95. However, with the aforementioned equation, the crewneck can be obtained on clearance for $9.45 plus tax.
