I agree with the same-same J.Crew comment.

Also, Banana's been doing the Monogram Collection thing since last year. I don't really get the concept other than appealing to Stateside urbanites who might fancy themselves "edgy" Europhiles (with the slimmer cuts and Italian fabrication). Prices are whack, in my opinion. Not a fan.
