J Crew Spring/Summer 2011 Discussion

Has anybody tried the dress shirts? Looks like they are running a 2 for $100 deal right now with free shipping. If they were good, I was thinking about picking a couple up.

 

[Texastyle]

I have a few and they work pretty well at that price.

How is their sizing on shorts? TTS? Do size 30 actually measure 30" or 31 or 32?

They run a little big; go a size down. I'm a true 32 and need to get their 31 shorts.

Seconded. I usually get 31's. Was glad I tried them on in store before ordering any shorts online, because the 30's were a much better fit.

which color? i have the one in navy. and yes, there is some slight padding on the shoulders.

Yes, I have the navy as well, in a 36s. The color is great, and the fit is pretty good (a little tight). I'm not a huge fan of the shoulders though...sometimes they seem stiff, other times they seem fine. Anybody have any 30% off coupons?

anything stand out at all? hard to think about Fall when the weather is close to 100 degrees!

Tell me about it, we still have 2 months of summer weather here.

A couple new button up shirts really caught my eye.

New slim cashmere sweaters.

They are really harping on the Ludlow jacket this next month as well.

Do you have a link? Agreed that what I've seen so far of the Fall '11 collection is very nice.

J. Crew just put up their version of the diver watch. Collaboration with Timex, as usual. Called the Andros:

What does everyone think? I have their original military watch and have been looking for a reasonable priced (and good looking) dive watch for a while now. $175 might be a lot, but with student discount, might drop it down to around $160.

I was actually waiting for the Timex Originals diver to come out:

but I actually think the J. Crew one might be nicer, because the design is understated and simple (which I prefer).
