How are the JCrew cotton/cashmere sweaters? I really like the BR silk cashmere, are they similiar? Would you prefer the merino sweaters over them?

Ok well I usually a medium at BR fits me good. I am 5-8 170, what would you suggest? I plan on wearing a button up shirt underneath most of them.
Man, it has been so long since I've bought anything at JCrew!

I wore my funnelneck today and one person goes 'oh I love that wings+horns cardigan!' and another asked if it was EG. Both were shocked when I busted out with "J Crew".Originally Posted by Teger
Seriously, J.Crew is getting so much better...

I'm about 5'10/160 and I go for the XS in merino sweaters for a good fit. Generally that would be the case for all tops but the thicker knits I can go S. Since you want to wear a button up maybe a S would work but I usually wear something under the XS and it has room. The stores usually don't stock XS so the internetz is the best option for them.

I am trying to make a decision between the peacoat and the university coat, anyone have either? I dont always button up my coat and when a peacoat isnt buttoned I think they look bad.Originally Posted by Mike Lowry
Any suggestions?
I had the university coat, but I took it back because the fit was awkward and the buttons looked cheap. If it would have had a covered placket I think I would have kept it. I say go for the peacoat.
Now I have a question:
Does anyone know how much warmer the Thinsulate peacoat is? Is it worth the extra $85? I live in Minnesota, so it needs to withstand a severe winter.

They were selling them in Virginia for $200 then a 30% discount. $140 total and they would alter it for free if you signed up for a card.

I saw the picture of you with the funnelneck. How tall are you and what size did you get? I'm about 5'8 and tried on the medium and it was smaller than other medium sweaters/jackets that I tried on there.

Think there will be another, better sale after this one ends[sat 29th] to clear the rest? I need to buy a peacoat and some Merino sweaters, but with the fact that everything costs 20% more due to canada-US exchange rate, the current sale is kind of useless.

Extra small? WTF?
I am 5-10 1/2 180lbs, and the Large is perfect. In a suit I am a 44 Regular, and only wear Ralph Lauren suits, which like a Barbour Beaufort 44 regular, fit perfectly.
How can someone with your build even get a Small, let alone Extra small on?
