They look nice in the pic but I asked around SF and they say the suit fits similar to BR, to me that isn't slim or fitted enough but to some it may be.
I would say that the overall style isn't too traditional so the very slim lapel may go out of style in a few years.
Suit looks very nice though but if you buy a more traditional suit, like what Nii has been wearing, then you migth still be wearing it 10 years from now.

If looking that good was as easy as asking how much and where to kop - everybody would look fresh to death.
Thats just a well tailored 3 piece suit in airforce blue, with black shoes. So you need to search for a 3 piece suit in airforce blue, get it tailored and buy some black shoes.
Or find a tailor.

When it comes to suits, do they really go outta style tho? I mean besides the crazy colors/patterns etc it seems like the two piece doesn't change a whole lot
. I was watching Trading Places and Eddie Murphy's suits (beside the wild trench coats and hats) were pretty close to what we wear now. They were slim and pretty much basic. I was like...hmmm

You can see a big difference in the JCrew suit to what Nii posts in here. The lapel being really slim is a dead giveaway.
We can never know for sure what will be the style in the future but out of the two, the JCrew isn't traditional with the thicker lapel but body-wise, I would say they are both full bodied. I just think the lapel is too narrow/slim on the JCrew suit although the more fitted look probably won't go out of style.
Suits definitely go out of style, especialy the specific designs. I've seen old suit with a very low lapel, wide lapels too high/too low gorge, no vents, too long, etc... The Steve Harvey look was mainstream a decade ago, almost zoot suit like. Again, those are more fashion oriented, kind of todays very slim and extra short suits. There is no denying that the trend right now is slim silhouettes and I do like it but to a certain degree. Like with lapels, I wouldn't go too narrow as the JCrew, maybe add half an inch to inch to that, but I also wouldn't go to wide. Peak or notch lapel, personal choice but peak lapel has been out of the mainstream for a while, it is making a come back though but in slimmer lapels. I always have a hard time explaining it in writing, maybe Nii can chime in more. He can usually summarize my paragraph into one concise sentence.
The trick is to stay with the classics and don't go for something that is too fashion oriented or trend influenced.

^^ its your money - but for 600 dollars, you should be looking to buy Canali, Faconnable, mid range RL (PRL), Luciano Barbera, Pal Zileri, Zegna etc etc and/or considering a cheap bespoke number.
and also, why ask for feedback if your mind is already made up?
