Yeah, I know the sizing is off, especially with the BoO comparisions. Ah the beauty of varying proportions.

Just saw an article on J.Crew's fall offerings. Looks like more workwear and collabs. The are article mentions an existing collab with Alden shoes. I looked at the crew website and there is no mention. Can anyone point me in the reight direction?

Thanks.

Some new stuff up including a Chambray point-collar shirt in white, Slub fleece hoodie and track jacket, and hammock camp short. The short is styled like the Engineered Garments fatigue short.

Not sure if this was mentioned yet, but Jcrew added a section on their website (men's) called GQ shops J Crew. In one of the outfits they have the grey fleece crewneck Vintage Sweatshirt featured in the pictorial that got this thread started. Nice looking piece. Not so nice price for a sweatshirt: $225 (Liqour store exclusive)

The Seattle store has them.

I did not try one on, but the fabric they used seemed pretty bad and was very flimsy. It's only quarter lined in the upper back and sleeves as well.

huh, thats kinda lame. how much was it?

I have the 'deck jacket' from last season in the british khaki and I love it. the utility jacket is pretty lame - short and with a super heavy zipper for some reason that really weighs it down

Just an IC: is anyone interested in the black watch wool mackinaw from last season in size M? I've worn it maybe 10 times but have no use for it in California. Retailed for $750-800 (overpriced), not sure how much I'm asking yet but probably around 300 shipped.
