Tom James Collegiate Jacket Lining

For young men, a classic navy blue or charcoal gray suit is a versatile and timeless choice. Complete the look by pairing the suit with a crisp, white dress shirt and neutral dress shoes. Your graduate can add some personality to his look with a patterned tie or pocket square.

As for young women, a custom-made 3-piece suit or dress in bright white or tan is an elegant choice. Add accessories like a scarf or jewelry and a pair of comfortable and classy shoes for the perfect graduation outfit. 

You can even take the look to the next level by adding a jacket lining featuring their soon-to-be alma mater's logo with our collegiate suit and jacket linings. We've partnered with some of the top colleges and universities to create custom game-day apparel.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

"Joe has superb subject matter expertise in the technical aspects of the fabrics, including why and how they are different, and he is very articulate in how he communicates and educates me on those differences and why or why not they might matter in light of my goals and budget. The best part about my experience with Joe, however, was that I was never made to feel like the minor client that I know I am. At any rate, I plan to order another sport coat and a few more pants as well."
