J Crew S/S 10 Discussion

[a-rock]

Will try to post a pic of the one I got. Got it in olive... the differences are slightly slimmer than J.Crew version. J.Crew version is a regular collar although turned up in most pics. The H&M one is a mock turtle neck collar whatever you call it. Also has button tab at collar, flapped patch pockets on both sides chest and waist, and adjustable sleeve tabs. Buttoned interior chest pockets. 100% cotton outside and lining. J.Crew one has add'l pocket on the sleeve.

I like the idea of the fireman style buckles/clasps in front, although they seemed a bit thin. Would have prefered some heavier hardware. Nice stand up collar with a corduroy backing.

$268 is probably a bit steep. A 20% off sale with a rewards card should get it to a sweet spot. Too cold anyway in NYC for this weight jacket right now.

I went today to the Men's Shop to check out the jacket and was a bit disappointed. I also thought the jacket was too thin and the clasps weren't substantial enough.

I ended up going to Club Monaco and getting their fireman jacket. It's thicker fabric and has heavier clasps like the Nom De Guerre utility jacket. $249

True to size and even a little slimmer than TTS.

I may have to go back and rebuy that freaking cadet jacket. Only this time in that color.

As I pretty much *just* scrape medium on their sizing charts, it looks like I'm going with that then

Thanks again for your help.

The Cadet Jacket seems to have replaced "The Watch" as most talked about item.

nah, lets talk about the Sun-faded slub jersey polo. J/K.

I saw a few of SFSP at two J.Crews. Both the pants and the shorts. They seem slim enough and the fabric is very soft. Pants look well broken-in too.

 

[relax99]

im interested in picking up a few pairs in urban slim fit. I cant decide on that dusty baltic though. I also have to deice on if the broken in chino version of usf is better

 

[snuff_daddy]
