Yes or no? Maybe from someone who has seen it in person.

i got the chance to check out this shirt in person and was disappointed. the photo definitely looks better and makes the shirt look thicker than it actually is.

I was wondering what the consensus on the Bowery Backpack is... http://www.jcrew.com/mens_feature/Ne...0355/30355.jsp I want a backpack similar to it, but was wondering on the quality side. Should I just get a Filson briefcase?

from the photos alone, the bag looks really good. but the problem with these bags, if you really stuff alot of things into it, the straps will dig into your back.

The only thing is that my girlfriend works at J Crew... So I could get it at a substantial discount.

thanks.

are u referring to the raw selvedge one? from what the SA said over the weekend, get TTS. they dont expand like APCs.

I have the 484s, but not the raw selvedge ones. Mine cost $98. I got a 31. I also wear a 31 in APC Petite Standards. 484 fit great after a day or two of wear. The APCs took a couple weeks.

if anyone needs the surf saturdays / j crew button up, hit me up with your size!

Does anyone have impressions of the Ludlow Selvedge Blazer? I'm considering getting it but I wanna know what the consensus around here is.

Hey, all. I'm just looking over the May 2011 catalog, and I saw this picture:

Would anybody happen to know who the photographer mentioned is? That's her husband and daughter up there.
