Awesome, that's more than I'd need.

Are there any coupon codes kicking around? Either for free shipping or any other discount?

http://jcrewaficionada.blogspot.com/ keeps track of the current codes available in the right menu.

I don't have any experience with their dress shirts, but I've probably gotten on average 60-80 wears out of their washed favorite shirts before they start fraying at collars and cuffs.

I just had my officers chinos tailored. The wiast, seat and legs were all taken in. These things are money now! I absolutley love them. Right up there with my RRL officer chino.

The bag with the orange hunter lining is only available in stores, though it was on the website for a little while last year. They're pretty decent for the price.

Gray? White? Blue?

I bought the white Baird McNutt linen shirt from a seller here. Wore it to a cookout the other day with some blue shorts and brown flip flops. I got tons of positive comments.

Blue. That's all the store carried. I didn't know they made this in other colors--talking about the "vintage chambray workshirt."

saw it in the store yesterday and wanted it, but not for that price...

 

[kit99bar]

for the slim fit urban pants, do the actual waist measurements truly equal the size listed? Ie a 33 actually measures 33. I want to confirm they are not doing any vanity sizing before purchasing

As far as I know they have either washed indigo or true indigo, aka light and darker blue. Also got one a while ago, very nice shirt.

Other colors must not be in production now. Don't see them online, in catalog, or at the store.

5th ave NYC store had the blue and grey chambray just last week. White was sold out.
