    There are a few new arrivals up as a spring preview. Two jackets, a shirt, and a merino hoody. Nothing that I find appealing.

    J. Crew Fall/Winter 2011 Discussion

     It really varies from shirt to shirt. I have one that fits smaller than JC small, one that fits bigger. But is JC getting bigger with their sizing? 2 years ago, I found XS to be slightly too small in the chest for me. A few weeks ago, I tried again and found it fit well. I didn't shrink...

    The rest of the fall line is up now. I'm probably getting a Wax on Blazer, or perhaps Wax on Shirt.

    I'm interested in the printed chambray shirt. I'm guessing other people make similar stuff, any suggestions on who else might offer them?

    According to the mailing list, it's 2 weeks until the rest of the fall line comes out.

    From what I can see on the website, they've made some small redesigns to the confident pants. The front pockets are different, the belt loops are moved a bit, they switched to a zipper fly, and they now have articulated knees. I'm not positive about the fabric, it's the same wool/spandex mix...

    I have their chambray blazer. It seems well made, better than other blazers I've seen at a similar or lower price.

    The Highline Blazer is interesting. I'm not sure about having a waterproof layer laminated onto wool though. I prefer having more breathability. Yak is a nice fiber, as long as it's not cheap yak. I had a cheap yak sweater and it pilled like crazy, although still not as bad as the Land's End...

    I have a Riding Jacket, but after seeing the Vice Blazer in person, I'd recommend the Vice. The Riding is all poly, while the Vice is poly/cotton blend. The blend feels and looks a lot nicer. However, the blend doesn't have the same stretch as the poly stuff. My Riding Jacket is small and I can...

    A waxed cotton blazer seems like a nice idea, I'm trying to phase out synthetics and replacing them with waxed cotton or Ventile.

    Stylish hiking gear - does it exist?

    I'm also looking into replacing my synthetic base layers with wool. Does anyone know of merino wool t-shirts in a basic, plain design? (No logos and no obvious technical stitching. Brand recommendations are fine, on-line EU sources even more fine ) Icebreaker has some good stuff, they should...

    The best wool socks

    Darn Tough over Smartwool, imho. Agreed. Having socks from both, DT's stuff is a lot more durable.

    Anyone else think Spring 2011 is kind of weak? There's maybe one or two pieces of sportswear I would buy. Maybe my opinion's irrelevant since I am slowly moving (out of necessity) towards more tailored clothing. I don't see anything in the spring line that I want to buy. I kind of like the...

    J Crew Fall/Winter 2010 Discussion

    merino or lambswool cardigan? I've been happy with my merino sweaters. They're not scratchy at all (unlike the lambswool ones which are a little scratchy), and haven't pilled in the few years I've worn them. I'd go with the merino ones, unless the color you want is only in lambswool.

    The vest is part of the Binary Jacket. It doesn't look like they'll sell it separately.
