JC runs small almost to the point people think their clothing is mislabeled.
Speaking of JC blazers, I got a nice casual plaid 1 button on eBay a while ago NWT for a really good price. Nice slim cut, looks great. Lucky I sized up though (to 40, usually a 38) ... have to agree about the very small sizing.

Why is this even being debated? Everything this company ***** out is horrible and a pox on the world.

yeah thats true
but i must confess...

the last pair (or maybe second to last pair) of jawns i bought before i found sf were juicy (0)

had some money in my pocket, went to the neiman marcus in dc cause i thought that was the place to go for baller status cluthinz, juicys had no back pocket design, minimal distressing, button fly and were made in the usa (the glamorous usa, as the frooty-ass tag said)

I find most of their stuff really nasty, but I do think there's some truth to the older stuff being less gaudy.

I own a cashmere hoodie from JM that I bought at a crazy discount at Loehmann's. It has a very slim cut and works with a lot of stuff. Only labelling is a logo stitched onto the sleeve that's the same color as the wool so you can't even see it.

I've also seen some other older Dirty English pieces that looked clean and well-cut. Well, one at least.. here's a leather blazer Nordstrom had that I thought looked pretty good.
