Does anybody have any experience with the Irish linen suit in Indigo??

Curious how this looks in person since none of the stores around me have it in stock.

Thanks in advance.

Anyone aware of any sales or coupons coming up?

I'd like to order a pair of shoes from them but refuse to pay full price.

You can find that purple shirt in stores, at least there were a few in the Mall of America. Does anyone know how to force J.Crew to make more Slim-Mediums? They're only thing that fit me but don't do all the styles.

I'm in agreement with radagast, though. The Fireman's Jacket is way too boxy. I ordered it online and ended up returning it to a brick and mortar store shortly after receiving it. I thought that the quality on the piece was actually pretty good, but the fit really was lacking.

It should also be noted that I'm not a particularly slender guy. I'm not fat by any means, but I have a good deal of muscle on me, as opposed to the typical slender SF member. 5'8", 160 here, and the fit was still too boxy on me in a size small. I shudder to think how it would have looked on someone slimmer than me.

Some of them are slightly reduced. In my opinion they took they ugly patterns and made those in slim and those that were decent immediately sold out - online at least. Does anyone know when J. Crew typical updates the online stock?
