Like I said, he's better off just ordering direct from the website then from you.

Hi guys,

Since all the best stuff has been off the J Crew website. Do you guys remember if J Crew sold the Belstaff Trialmaster or Roadmaster in an Olive color?

Thanks,

Not at my jcrew....

does anyone have this sweater? I'm 5'9", 38 chest, 32 waist. S or M?

I've got the Belstaff Brad jacket in a Small (brand new) if anyone is interested. I'd be willing to part with it for just below retail.

If it is anything like the sweater I bought two years ago, it is 8% cashmere. Kinda feels like sticky cotton. It's comfortable enough, though. Haven't worn it a whole lot, so I can't comment on longevity.

Waiting for my navy Merino cardigan in the mail. Ordered two large shipments for my wife and I. Unfortunately missed the 25% off for one of them. Pretty happy with the styling and quality of what I've gotten already though.

I haven't bought any clothes for a year or two. J Crew definitely seems to be slimming down their cuts. Some are even too slim for me these days.

Saw one of these today....one of the best jackets I've seen in a long time.

Which color is more versatile? I'm thinking clove, but I have a lot of khaki colored pants and no navy


What about the bowery heather twill (only comes in heather grey?

The Bowery pants are not as slim as I would prefer. You should try them on first. I would call them a regular/relaxed fit. There's a little bagginess in the thighs/knees. Having said that, they're fine for my workplace. As for color, I'm starting to appreciate navy pants...work with black and brown shoes, unlike khaki.

They fit fine. I wouldnt say slim but wouldnt say relaxed either....pretty much in between.

if you want a slimmer fit they offer a slim fit bowery too.

I'm in love with this coat: http://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/o...~~~~/17934.jsp Does anyone own it? Comments on quality or fit? I'm waiting around hoping the price falls a bit before I take the plunge.

Bought the Field Mechanic's jacket the other day during their 25% sale.

Funny thing - I found the jacket in size S in the Dark Straw color. I was convinced that it was $218, even when the price said $258. I told the clerk this and he agreed to honor the $218 price. After getting 25% off, the total came to around $165. I get home and realized that it's the Faded Black version that is $218. Oh well. Guess I got away with (unintentional) robbery.

After wearing the jacket for a few days, I kinda want to try the XS version and see if that's a better fit. Too bad they didn't have it in the store. The S fits me well, but I wish they had the XS for comparison.

As for the jacket itself, I'm very happy with it. It's super-warm, definitely a dead-of-winter jacket. The zip up hood is a nice touch.

Correct. I was referring to the classic fit ones. They're actually pretty comfortable for a desk jockey like me. I might go slim fit next time, tho.

They really need to do something about the exhorbitant shipping rates. Perhaps free shipping until Christmas.
