I'm a newbie here. Can anyone comment on the sizing/length of the university coat? I'm 6'0.5'', 175, medium built, are they cut slim? Should I get medium tall or large tall? or regular medium/large?

I don't shop at jcrew a whole lot, but i really like this jacket and the discount is only available on the site. Thanks so much!

Some retailers don't want certain items falling into sales. It's not the first time jcew has done it, and they don't do it only with collabs. Other retailers do it. What's the big deal?

You don't say. Listen to this: I just finished getting charged (for a RRL shirt off ebay) $48 for a $48value (a 100% customs charge).

Canada has no Jcrew and they are physically right there. Japanese are a guaranteed market and will buy anything. Europe is neither close, nor a guaranteed market.

It's ******? Pretty simple reasoning, here.

Henley OVER a shirt? Really? I don't know, Robert, sounds more like fashion-backward. Pics or I'm not believing this.

Yeah that sucks.
After the tax and shipping...I really just end up saving like 8 bucks rofl.

I bought the Cotton rib sweater-jacket, and a merino cardigan. It's getting a little cool down here.

I just emailed customer service re: Fatigue jacket in faded black. I haven't seen it in any store or online.

I also went to the local shop during lunch today and hooked up the red & black buffalo check sherpa lined shirt jacket....really hot!

I'll see what I can do. It looks best, imo, with the plain (unwaffled) henley (at least that's the only way I've done it). You just put it on like a sweater. Sort of the same effect as a half-zip sweater but with buttons instead. You wear a henley over a tee, don't you? Why not over a collared shirt?

Have not seen the fatigue in black in the store. There's a field jacket in black, though.
