J Crew Fall/Winter 2010 Discussion - Page 137

Picked up the Cadet Jacket today in black. Fits great, and it was a good deal with the sale. Shall be a good spring/fall jacket. One thing I didn't like was no hand pockets, just the two button flap pockets on the front.

Found a pair of the selvedge Levi's on sale today. Fucking amazing that these are $20 now.

lol this is terrible

no one needs their shirts slimmer in the chest, it's the fucking waist that's the problem

How do you enter? Was looking through the website this morning but didn't see anything that stood out like that.

This was the link I was emailed.

Thank you - THAT CAWRD IS MINE!

So I was in J Crew earlier trynig on a blue gingham button down. The XL's collar was too loose, and the L wasn't long enough in the body. I'm 6'3" 42 chest with rather normal proportions. Does anyone have any tips or is J. Crew just not for me?

HAHA+1

It's like how JCrew makes pants slimmer by taking an inch off the leg opening.

I have a slim shirt and it's a perfect fit to me, I really like it.


Try large in tall size.

Agreed, small in slim fit fits me like a glove (though perhaps a little short). Though, admittedly, at 6'1, 140lbs, I'm probably not the norm.

Can anyone provide feedback on either the Cadet jacket or Fatigue Jacket? Fit? Details?

I want to take advance of the 30% outerwear deal. Thanks in advance.

They're both pretty good in fit and details. Price would be decent with the discount. Go for it.

Try the large-tall.

Fatigue is heavier. More pockets. Seems bulkier.

I prefer cadet in black. I'm 5'8" 160 and small fit me well.

British Millerain Oilcloth is a similar style military/field jacket but is better than both.

The Cadet jacket is a very lightweight jacket, and isn't as slim as I'd like for it to be. The shoulders fit me fine, but it's a bit looser in the body than I'd like.

Not bad for a breezy autumn day, but definitely not for winter, depending on where you live.

Additionally, I picked up the one in black, and it's been steadily fading into this dark green color. Kind of interesting.
