    J Crew quality

    ^ Mine were very soft from the beginning. I actually do use benzoyl peroxide, but this must be a coincidence...as yeayea said, it's in spots all over the pants and I thoroughly wash my hands after using it, dry my hands on a towel and thoroughly wash my hands again. Maybe Dashaansafin is onto...

    J Crew quality

    Ok, definitely sounds like bleach then. I'm actually using communal washer/dryers for the first time in my life after moving to a new apartment building, so I was unaware of the possibility of "leftover bleach" even being an issue. I guess I'll start hand washing everything that's over a certain...

    J Crew quality

    Looks like there was some leftover bleach in the washing machine that has nothing to do with JCREW You may be right; however, there were very faint discolorations prior to the wash, which I discounted as dust, but showed more clearly, obviously, after the wash. Also, this was a color wash and...

    J Crew quality

    I just bought a pair of J Crew Classic-fit broken-in chinos in eclipse blue and have worn them probably 4 - 5 times. I just washed them with cold water and Woolite for Colors detergent. Here's the result: 8 or 9 spots like this: ...and the inside of both front pockets looks like this: I don't...

    Yes. I can't stand the topcoat/overcoat over tshirt look. You're missing at least one layer in between the two. Add a decent BD shirt, and that would improve things. If it's too warm to add a layer in between the tshirt and coat, lose the coat and wear a sweater. Plus, the boots are too dressy...

    It might just be how you're standing, but the APCs seem large/roomy (if that's what you're going for, I guess that's cool). The stacking also seems a bit weird, especially from the front. How much did you size down? I'm a 32 and I bought a 32 - I couldn't get the first button buttoned with the...

    I know I'm sticking to SF approved basics here, but I have to start somewhere. I'd appreciate any comments. I like the fit of the APC NS and am thinking about buying them in grey and black, but, at this point, what I think looks good and what actually looks good is pretty much mutually exclusive.
