J.Crew Fall/Winter 2012 - Page 58

Its so damn pretentious that they call it that.

Agree. Here's this: The resort thing and why it's pretentious and snobby sounding

Very interesting. Thanks Robert.

That'd be great - thank you

didnt the holiday 30% off apply to all partner items?
i know that instore, SAs were quick to inform customers that it did.

My impression is that they did push 3rd party collabs this year to a greater degree, but Alden was a "mistake" that was fixed.

I’ve found that the %off partner items is very subjective, depending on the store and SA. I had one SA this year refuse to give the 30% off Thomas Mason shirts. I argued that the 30% off worked on-line. He flat out said no. I argued that the shirt is made by J Crew but with TM fabric, and he flat out said no.

The shirt popped up on line in my size 3 days later and the 30% off worked. Go figure.

Agree ^^ All really depends on the mood of the SA.

Having worked as one for many years during undergrad, I was often more than willing to stack discounts for people unless managers were cracking down or the customer was being belligerent, etc. Keep the customer happy is rule #1

40 percent off final sale at the brick and mortar near me.

As for me, I'm on the lookout for the following:

Penfield Kasson in cobalt blue
Baracuta G9 slim fit in natural
Linen sportcoat in herringbone
Bass Weejuns
LL Bean boots

wj4, what shirt is that red plaid? Is it online?

Have to admit, those are the second page of my want list. I'd really like some Bass weejuns. I also want some Bass dark two-tone (saddle) shoes in suede.

Very lusty pic!

I like how you roll your chinos. I do the same for my 34 inseams. (My 32s are no break, so no roll.) I assume these are J. Crew urban slim?

I also dig the black wingtips with them. I wear my brown wingtips with mine. Currently seeking some decent black ones.

No, they're Epaulet Rivet Chinos in Duck Carmel. I don't think the wingtip boots are straight black either but could be wrong on that...
