J Crew S/S 09 Discussion

I dunno, just really emphasizes a certain willowy-ness.

Robin you have the same deck jacket I have from last s/s right? I <3 this thing.

 

[robin]

The brown/tan cotton one? Yeah, it's alright. Fabric kind of sucks though.

My camp shirt you mean, Teger? What about it exaclty? I took another look at it and was trying to picture what you meant, but am not seeing it.

I dunno, just looks a little big and blousey. I'm never a fan of those type of shirts though.

Well excuuuuuuuuse me, not all of us can find WWM and EG

 

[robin]

Some of the EG and WWM fabrics were weak this season too.

 

[dfagdfsh]

I really liked the khaki andover, I need to try to pick it up ons sale. I felt the WWM Upland Jacket in the cotton was kind of lame though

 

[Robert]

Tonio, I like the shirt. I don't see the issues Teger is talking about. Not sure I'd roll the sleeves like you do, but I dig it.

That's always an issue I have with J.Crew and any mall brand for that matter, but I figured the thin shirt and warmer weather upon us (if it ever decides to get here), that some looseness is good for a change, but it certainly isn't as slim as I normally wear for sure. Given the lenght I'd occasionally wear it tucked to around the office and such.

The sleeve roll was quick and dirty (like the mirror) for the pics, but typically I roll the sleeves where this is no ballooning above the roll like it shows in my picture. It's wrinky as hell now too, but an iron should fix that up some.

 

[Robert]

J. Crew is less blousy than most mall brands though. As for sleeve rolling, I just mean that I don't do it at all, hardly. I almost never roll them up unless it's extremely hot or I have to stick my arms in dishwater or something. This might look better with just buttoned sleeves. But overall, as I say, I like the way this shirt looks. I might need to revisit the store tomorrow.

And I myself deliberately am doing the no-iron slightly wrinkled look these days, both as an aesthetic but also as a matter of time-saving and just not caring to iron. I actually like the non-ironed look with a shirt like that.

Definately less blousy than most for sure, that's why I can still do my typical size small. I hear that. I avoid ironing like the plague, man.

On a separte note, has anyone bought or tried out that Jaspe Henley Tee yet?? I saw it in person and it looked great, but my size wasn't available to try on and customer service didn't have measurements for it and I know it isn't available in XS so was worried about pulling the trigger. It looks kick ass though.

What does a marker line through the label mean? I am looking at a shirt on ebay that the seller says has a marked line through the label to prevent returns. I would usually assume that this meant it came from an outlet but as its been discussed here, JCrew doesn't have mainline stuff in their outlets. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

[Narwhale]

They do have some mainline stuff at the outlets, it's just mostly outlet-made stuff. The line probably means it was sold somewhere like Rugged Wearhouse or TJ Maxx. That means it could be irregular.

I can't be the only one seriously annoyed by the fake sales prices on their site. "Select colors $9.99" Sure.... They are always sold out, and should drop the "lowest" price if they don't have an items in stock at that price.

 

[andychen]

I found it annoying too.
