J Crew Spring/Summer 2011 Discussion - Page 85

Tees run small, button down sizing seems to vary with the different shirts. Quality is way better than J. Crew It's a really cool line.

cool, I may need a S then since I usually wear a XS in jcrew shirts. Are you able to get XS as well?

Anybody have experience with the Repp Pique polo's in the tailored fit? Comparison to Polo Custom Fit? Looking for some cheap polo options for my large frame.

Does anybody have a spare 20% off coupon from the most recent catalog that they are not planning to use?

Yeah, I have always gotten coupons in the past but this catalog came without one...I was bummed as I was really looking to pick up a couple things. If there are two people who have them and aren't going to use them I would love to get ahold of one if possible, after edubs01 of course.

Absolutely. I have size S in both the J.Crew Repp Pique tailored fit polos and the RL Custom Fit polos. The RL polos are slimmer through the midsection, and I'd be tempted to size down one in the J.Crew. The length is about the same on both.

Picked up the Fireman's jacket from the sale, I'm pretty happy with it. We'll see how it holds up come fall when I take it on my little Euro-trip.

I found to be also larger in the mid-section than RL custom fit. It seems to be somewhere between RL custom and classic fit, imo. I found that is longer than my custom fits as well.

Quality wise, they are a good buy on discount. Also, I would recommend to check out a factory store if you have one near you. The factory version and retail seem to be nearly identical in quality and fit for the pique polo's.

Hmmm. Thanks for the input guys. Don't know which size I should go with then, L or XL. Guess I'll have to order both.

Also bumming for a spare 20% off coupon, if anyone's got one

Looking for navy very thin pinstripe ludlow cotton trousers. Rare chance that someone has them I know, but I'll pay pretty well. 31 or 32 or 33 length doesn't matter

Hello, I'm looking to buy a pair of chinos from J crew and I'm usually a 28 or 29 waist from most brands. Are they usually TTS or are they one size larger?

Size larger and crappy cotton = ridiculous stretch. Buy a 28, you may even have to have them taken in.

Size up...also check out the "broken-in" chinos over the stanton chinos. The Broken-in are quite a bit thicker so they are better for the fall than the stanton. I find the stanton to be thinner and stretch easier. Plus, the broken in chinos are cheaper as well! The only down side is that the broken-in chinos have less color choices than the stanton...

+1 on the broken in chinos! the navy ones are by far my favorite.
