Read the description of the shoes..."include one-of-a-kind details like exposed foam tongue accenting, custom distressing..."

Just sayin'

Didn't realize that. So I'm guessing "one of a kind details" include ridiculously big and hideous glue bumps, "custom distressing" are soles that are yellow at some points and white at others.

anyone have one of the flannels from the wallace and barnes collab? i have this one and its great, nice weight to it. only complaint is that the buttons are rounded out on the bottom, so its slightly more difficult to button up. i know that sounds stupid, but it's happened when my hands were slippery.

I just got the pepper one in yesterday. my only gripe is the small is once again too big, but thats pretty standard for a jcrew product.

Maybe I'm just a suckah, but the Wallace & Barnes sweatshirts are sweeeeet. Extra heavy, nice and slim, and wonderful shades of grey. Even at 25% off they are a bit steep, but i copped out of curiosity and kept out of impressiveness of the item.

Made in china. Just like everything else these days.

J Crew jeans - 10 years ago made in the USA, shifted to Canada, now in China
J Crew men's shows: 10 years ago made in Italy, then Romania, now in China.

ok, enuff ranting about that.

Still on the fence about the W&B flannels.

Bought them in neutral suede. Slim-ish. My biggest gripe though was the quality. Pretty ****** for $90 sneakers, the tongue wasn't even completely stitched with fabric... the side was exposed sponge.

Would you say they are true to size? Should I order the same size as all my other Nikes?

I'm debating on the 484 Santon or Urban Slim Santon pant in the brick red color.

I've tried on chinos in store and both the 484 and Urban Slim seemed to be the exact same thing. Any experiences or specific differences someone can point me to?

the 484 shouldnt fit the same way as the urban slim. 484s are noticeably more fitted.

Anybody have the J. Crew x Billy Reid chambray trousers? They are on sale for a decent price w/ the coupon code. How are they? Sizing consistent with other J. Crew suit pants? Anybody just buy the pants as odd dress pants w/o the jacket? I like the jacket too, but I think it'll look a little too dated in a few years and I don't wear a full suit often enough to justify the jacket too.
