J Crew S/S 10 Discussion - Page 83

can't decide what to think about the madras shirts, but at least that's preventing a splurge before the red chambray drops.

Quick heads up, they have a few Peacoats in the sale section of their website. I remember last week there was a poster that thought he missed out. Well, you didn't and you could get 20% off that coat. Incredible how much stuff you think they won't have in stock anymore, only to find it in the sale section.

I don't have any experience with them, but I know Nordstrom sell a similar shoe for only 100$. I would try out both and see which is worth the price. Here's a link: http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3007774/...bo=2380907&P=2

Oh yeah i remember that grumpy gus. He was bummed b/d he thought he'd never see another J. Crew peacoat on sale.

EDIT: Well, it is still $200. Only $50 off. That's still a bit hefty for this garment. It's a nice coat but in the store it seemed a bit thin for a peacoat.

you guys see these shirts?

http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/Mens...2832/22832.jsp Why is one 72 bucks and one is 69 !?

Saw em in the store and was not all that impressed.

i was impressed by their prices. 10 bucks more than secret washed shirt, why?

Yah, I find that odd, too. Because they can?

Not a fan of those two.

Flap pocket? Still reason is silly. The green madras everyone gaga-ed over fit worse than the secret wash shirts. Not worth additional $30 in tailoring on top of inflated price.

I like the top one...but $72 is crazy talk.

Yeah I'm done with trying to figure out J. Crew shirts. I like their fabrics, patterns and prices but the cuts ruin it all. The worst part is they'll pin the shirts on the models in their shoots because they know a slimmer shirt looks better on any guy who's in shape. But they can't afford to actually go ahead ahead and make a slimmer shirt because something like 70% of American men are overweight.

I emailed customer service the other day asking about one of the collab items and they said that they are not for sale yet and that if I called I could preorder it (I then checked the site and realised they took them down because of the sale). You might be able to get free shipping if you called and bought a collab if they treat it as a preorder.

I think the J.Crew shirts are just about figured out at this point aren't they? Overpriced at retail for what they are, and the fits are more of a conservative fit and not slim in the way most SW&D SFers would prefer.
