But if you're the type guy who hits up his CrossFit gym on the regular, those high armholes, slim sleeves, and trim pants may have kept you from joining the 'Crew's suited man pack. That is, until now. J.Crew menswear director Frank Muytjens took note of the customer demand for tailored goods cut for the more athletic set (linebackers need suits too, you know) and after a full year of R&amp;amp;D, the brand is rolling out their new \"Crosby\" cut this week.\n\n**STORY: The 10 Things Frank Muytjens Can't Go Without**\n\n\"It's all about the proportions...we didn't want to create a suit that was just a bigger version of the Ludlow,\" says Muytjens of the consideration that went into crafting the new silhouette. \"We focused on the upper torso, biceps and shoulders the most. We opened up the armhole, made the shoulder a little wider and worked on opening up the body as well. We also widened the lapel a hair, just to make sure everything was proportional. For the pants, we opened it up in the waist and thigh area, but still made sure the leg opening was slim.\" Muytjens also added a center back vent, as opposed to the Ludlow's double, to help the Crosby hang clean on bigger frames. \"We fit it on as many athletic guys as we could so it would still look like a tailored suit, hugging in all the right places.\"\n\nAnd while Muytjens and his team worked hard to build the \"Crosby\" from scratch, it still keeps all the hallmarks one associates with the Ludlow intact. That means a floating chest piece, pick stitching on the lapels, and using some of the best wool yarns from world-renowned mills. Crosby's big coming out is built around four styles: a deep navy Italian wool, a charcoal worsted wool (either of which would be ideal for office life), a herringbone windowpane for flashier types, and a wool flannel option that's bound to be the sartorial backbone of any with-it wardrobe this fall. The new silhouette launches in J.Crew stores today and for those guys looking to superset their spending as well, the Crosby hits jcrew.com this Wednesday.\n\nFor more information, visit jcrew.com/crosby \n\n**PHOTOS: See the Complete J.Crew Fall-Winter 2014 Collection**"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
