J Crew F/W 09 Discussion - Page 117

just another quick comment on the irish setters, i ordered size 9 initially, but when they came they just looked so small for some reason, they didn't feel small, but they didn't look as rugged as i thought they would, so i sized up half a size. looked a lot better. just my opinion.

looks great!

anybody can share the picture of the HICKORY color?

just wonder if the color is the same as the regular red wing 1907's.

Check ebay, there's a guy selling an 11.5 and he took several pics.

....

Yes, the fit's different on the selvage vintage slim compared to the regular vintage slim - it's slightly slimmer. No, it's not worth the money, even for under $100. The denim is that cheap looking stuff with white speckles. If you're looking for sub $100 selvage, go with the gap.


Yup, they're 1/2".

Thanks for the details on the selvage vintage slim. I am probably going to grab a pair of the raw authentic fit from gap, but the other selvage pieces they have aren't really very unique washes. I love the greed-tinted selvage color in the one vintage slim...but I'll try to wait to see if the sale goes 40% off or something...

I have an older pair of slim black selvage that I got on sale. Compared with the light grey slim denim in the same size (which were a great deal for $40) they are tighter in the waist, but looser in the leg. Now, I think the black selvage I have are an older version and I don't know if they've changed it. I actually like the slim denim in other colors, but agree that the selvage isn't worth the premium. These seem to go on sale at the end of the season though.

The Timex watch bands are 20mm if you're looking to buy replacements.

just realized that the scholar tartans were on sale, only xl left.

So, I think the website's going to have new stuff tomorrow. A couple of blogs have posted about new stuff this week, and iirc, new stuff usually comes out right after a free shipping promo ends.

Thanks for the heads up, I was looking for that last night (because a couple people here said it's a great shirt) and noticed it was sold out. This shirt never went on sale, so to see one pop up there in my size is great.

So I guess if a style is sold out, any returns are automatically dumped in the sale section?

Pineapple-print board short from an "Itialian mill" $135 regular price and $89.99 on sale. Where the heck did this thing come from? I dare someone to buy this and post fit pics. Then again, please don't. And yes it's menswear, not women's...

I'd buy them, but I don't like the elastic waist band.

To those wearing the Rugged Classics... Do you guys wear them with bootcut jeans? I can't wear them with my normal jeans because it makes me look like my feet are about 4 sizes bigger than they really are. Just wondering what you guys are wearing them with. Otherwise, I love the boot. Great for the winter.

Anyone have experience with this oilcloth jacket? Looks good on this guy, but like shit on the guy on their website.
