I'm gonna pick up that green baby too.

The red is a classic looking shirt, but if you aren't 100% sure, I'd return it. I've never missed anything that I've taken back that I wasn't 110% sure of.

Me too.

What's the consesus on the actual lumberjack flannel? Looks good on their model paired with khakis.

The only problem with lumberjack style flannels is that it's basically hipster uniform (in Chicago, at least) so tread carefully

I almost picked that up the other week, but my girlfriend had a knee-jerk aversion to it, so I passed for the time being. Nice shirt, though, quality buttons. Might still pick it up. My plan is to audition the LL Bean wool version just to confirm that the fit will be awful.

Unless you need red go with another color. I grabbed the green one last winter and feel it goes with a lot more stuff and doesn't really shout buffalo plaid like the red. Red is the one I've seen most hipsters in also.

I like the red one. It would be the one I'd buy. Regardless of what these hipsters are doing.

I've also gotten ideas from how the store dresses the mannequins.
lol

^ +1. Shouldn't let what hipsters do stop you from wearing things. Just do it better than them.

I need to stop coming into this thread, I always see something that I want. What is the other color of this? can't really tell from the picture, but i'd say the "heather earth" is more of a green

Love the red. I like the navy rather than black with it.

Thanks brotha. With 8-9% tax rate plus shipping it really helps to get the 20% off. I also have only seen 2 confirmed J Crew items from the public in the last couple years - a rep pique polo at a farmers market and a broken in polo in a video.

They have a couple nice fabric belts in the final sale. Does anyone know what season or year they came from. Thanks.

Figured something out by accident. If I order by red phone and ship to my wife's residence, I get free shipping AND no tax. May do this for some bigger items, and then just wear them home when I fly back from a visit.

Yeah, have decided I like it a lot. There's a lot I could do with this.
