J. Press the high-end preppy menswear retailer has teamed up with Urban Outfitters to create a more affordable version of their collection just in time for the holiday season.

The J. Press for Urban Outfitters collection is currently selling shirts, jackets, pants and accessories that start at $28 for a belt and go up to $148 for a blazer which isn’t too bad considering the actual J. Press pieces start around $500 and up. The new collection is currently being sold at all Urban Outffitters locations as well as online.

The press release says: "We wanted to recreate the height of traditional Ivy League style in the early '60s," says design director, Mikito Takeshima. Drawing on influences from the film Animal House and the popular television show Happy Days, the 20-piece collection offers preppy casuals mixed with classic basics and relaxed styling. The exclusive line includes solid and striped oxfords, slim-fit pants, a Black Watch tartan golf jacket, and a wool vest, alongside several collegiate accessories such as a Dartmouth scarf, Princeton tie, and Cornell belt.
