no, just dark washes(dark worn rinse or whatever). They fade in the wash and yet don't get whiskers and **** if you wear them. they're also beaten up and pre-distressed at the hem and back pockets. If they lowered the price to $20 under APC NS, and made them rigid and undistressed, i would buy em.

Is it just me or is it time for J.Crew to make raw denim? They've really stepped thier game up lately, and raw denim would just be the icing on the cake. The $60 merino v-necks are among the best deals(full price deals) you can get anywhere


Finally made it out there yesterday. Is it me or GS J Crew Men's section never has sales?

Willowbrook Mall, for all those in north jersey, has 50% of alot of items. I was able to get 3 ties and a yellow crewneck for like 35 bucks. Its great when u catch Willowbrook when they restock.

Would J Crew lambswool sweaters be slim enough to look good with skinny jeans? Obviously J Crew, as a brand, is supposed to have a preppy vibe, but would it be weird to have J. Crew v-necks in the same wardrobe as APC NC's, BoO stuff, Shades of Greige stuff, etc.?

I know merino or cashmere would be lighter, but I live in Chicago and could use the warmth of lambswool (plus they have a 2 for $65 deal going on for lambswool v-necks right now).

Thanks,
wmmk

I have received like 6 emails from them about women's shoes and sweaters on sale in the last week, but not one about men's, so their loss, off to their competitors...

I wear lambswool Jcrew sweaters with my Wings + Horns and Ironheart. They look fine, just make sure you size down.

Great, thanks for the tip(s)! So I'm 6'0," 155 lbs., ~38 chest, and wear medium at places like H&M. Based on the J. Crew size chart, a small would certainly be slim enough, but I wear a dress shirt with 34" arms and J. Crew recommends their smalls for guys with 32"-33" arms. Will the sweater's arms be noticeably short on me? Also, is the small going to be too small to wear over a light, slim oxford? Thanks again

You live in Chicago, there has to be a J.Crew very close to you. Just go in and try one on.

i'm 5'8", 140 lbs with a 36 chest and a j crew small fits me nicely, especially in the arms (i'm around 32"). I'm guessing the small would be short on your arms, especially with an oxford underneath that would make it bulky.

This is my exact build and I wear a small in everything J. Crew. The sleeve lengths are fine. Their website is kinda whack when it comes to measurements. According to their website I would wear a medium in everything (15.5" neck, 34" sleeves, 38" chest) and I would literally swim in medium.
