^that's a different shirt, kelvin. Even if the chambray never goes on sale, you can pick it up during one of the 20% off $175 (or such) sales.

No, there are very slight differences between the J Crew chambray and the factory store chambray. PinkPantster had a great post showing the differences...

Really? That's surprising. I bought my grey chambray with the 25% off red card back in April.

I don't think there are many restrictions on those discount cards. I got a 25%-er that I was only supposed to use with my J. Crew card, but the store manager looked the other way when I paid with my debit card.

I really enjoyed wes' movies. Doesn't he use Mr. Ned or someone in NY for all the suits in his movies?

Used to be the Royal Tenebaums, but Life Aquatic slowly took over. I just watched it again last night. Everytime I watch it, I notice something new that makes me laugh

Yeah Hotel Chevalier was cool, but it's only about 12 minutes long. It's the prequel/intro to Darjeeling Limited.

I know this was asked a few pages back but didn't see an answer.

Looking at some of the basics tees, any idea how much difference between a small in the "slim fit" and an XS in the regular fit?

Going to try some on soon, but you can never get XS in stores.

+1 for The Royal Tenenbaums, love the movie and the clothes. Zissou's av is money. Margot getting off the bus with Nico in the background gets me every time.

Sam with me - though I had mine slimed by a tailor waist, sleeve width and length and just a little from the chest) for around $25. It is by far my favorite shirt.
