hmm true maybe I'll just get a couple of shirts...hold off on the shorts...get some pants...sweaters...wait thats my whole list..

By the way - and this isn't really a season question - has anyone bought a J. Crew suit?

How do they fit? Specifically I'm interested in the Ludlow (slim) fitting worsted wool/sharkskin suit. I'm an XS in their outerwear and I don't think the 36 will fit me properly. Wish they had a 34 or a 35.

anyone ever buy the Laundress New York Shirt wash? is it recommended?

anywho how long does it take them to get my stuff shipped out, ordered through the red phone yesterday in the AM and still haven't gotten my shipping confirmation

just copped another pair of stanton pants and peri shirt...oh and loafer socks...someone take my card away from me!

They'll probably send it by the end of today or tomorrow. At least that's how it works when you order online.

Man, J. Crew has some balls. Selling us Dickies pants for $200. I don't care if it's made with military-grade twill or whatever, it's freakin Dickies.

Any sales going on instores?

nope, I was just there today. My personal shopper should be calling me whenever they have in store sales so I'll post here when she does.

I was suit shopping and thought J.Crew would have been a viable option for me, but I didn't like the fits. The armholes are droopy on me (38R) and would need a lot of work to fit right. I went with a TaT suit instead (still being made). They're about the same in terms of pricepoint without J.Crew coupon code, but one is MTM & fully canvased vs. well... J.Crew.

I've had bad experiences with J.Crew shipping. Not only can you NOT stack discount codes and free ship codes but they are semi-slow. The first order I placed with them they sent me someone elses stuff. They required me to send out their mistaken order before they would process my order again. Pretty much took a month for me to get my stuff when all said and done.

I'm sorry to hear that, that's why I like shopping in store better than online. Hopefully they get my order right haha.

This classic uniform trouser was first produced for the U.S. Army in 1931 by 20th-century workwear giant Dickies. Now it's back in all its glory, thanks to an authentic recreation of the legendary CramertonÂ

twill, a special military-grade fabric woven on narrow looms using a ringspun method that preserves selvedge intact. Cotton. Button fly. Traditional 5-pocket styling. A Collector's Item. USA. Machine wash. * High rise. * Sits slightly below waist. * Loose through hip and thigh, with a straight leg.

If it was really "authentic," it should cost a few dollars, which is probably what it cost back in 1931...
