How could it not suck? By design they're the most generic winter coats that you can buy.

These went well with my fatigue pants the other day. Broke away from my desert boots routine and got out the Campers Brothers.

I emailed customer service a few months ago to ask about the student discount and they told me sale items ending with .99 are items they are clearing out and not restocking (ie end of season). Items ending with .50 are temporary sale items (like the officers chinos that were on sale a while ago) that will go back up to regular price so you can use the student discount on them.

How much is it at the factory?

Didn't pay much attention to the price; just feeling the material and contemplating buying it on feel alone.

Everything in there (minus the chambray) seemed to be like $30-$40 minus $10 at checkout.

Very nice shirt. This is Fashion Outlets Niagara, by the way.

Is J.Crew like Gap where some stores get less styles of shirts ect.? I was thinking about taking a trip to J Crew about an hour away and don't want to make the trip for a small store.

^ Most J. Crew stores totally suck in terms of selection. Expect to see a small fraction of what's on the website. But sometimes, you'll find things IRL that are not even on the website.

 

[Coldsnap]

Huh, okay. Maybe I should just stick with J.Crew.com

Hitting up JCrew tomorrow for the jersey shawl collar cardigan (they have the last small on hold for me). I'll post a review and pics when I get back. I will probably get a Youngstown flannel if they have an XS but that I am doubting.

Stores don't stock XS. They might have the occasional online return, but the odds of finding a youngstown XS outside the web site is 0.
