I'm 5'10" 145 and jcrew stuff sucks for me. Small is usually too big and XS is kinda tight.


You're a bit skinnier than I am. I'm 5'9''-5'10'' at 155 lbs. Before I can afford to spend real money, J. Crew was a life saver. Their shirts in sz small fit pretty well around the neck and lengthwise. I used to spend the $15 and get the sides of the shirt and sleeves taken in. I bet you can go the same route and have a stellar fit.

I'm 6'0 and 170 and the size small is pretty much perfect fit for me; only thing is that the shoulders might be a tiny bit small but it doesn't really matter


Even sleeves and body length for their shirts? I'm basically the same size and medium does seem too big for me, but I'm always scared to go down to small. What's your typical dress shirt sleeve measurement?

Yeah, the sleeves are JUST right, it's the length I would tailor my shirts to. I think I'm 15.5" 33" in dress shirts, I'm not sure though.

Their 30% off must be working pretty well. Was trying to buy some sweaters for my brother and all the stores near me have zero XS left and pretty limited size Ms as well.
