J. Crew Kenmare suits construction?
Does anyone know if any of J. Crew's Kenmare suits & sport coats (as opposed to the Ludlow line) are half-canvassed? I contacted them about their Italian flannel chalk stripe and Italian cotton corduroy suits and they claimed both were "fully canvassed," which sounds implausible to me? https://www.jcrew.com/pdp/mens/categories/clothing/suits-and-tuxedos/kenmare/kenmare-suit-jacket-in-italian-cotton-corduroy/BQ447?display=standard&fit=Classic&color_name=green&colorProductCode=BQ447 https://www.jcrew.com/p/BQ452?color_name=navy-chalkstripe (edited, sorry, messed up the links).

Why is it implausible
I may well be wrong, but I didn't think they offered anything fully-canvassed in the past. I thought the core Ludlow suits were half-canvassed.
a $400 fully canvased suit isn't unheard of
it's probably not good canvasing but it certainly could be fully canvased
