Same with us, about 15-20 minutes away though. She enjoys a lot of the items, but she hates all the ruffle nonsense that the woman's catalog tried to shove down throats the last few issues. Come sales times we're both checking it out for prices that are much more reasonable for what it is.

Do any jcrews stock xs in the store, or that's always something that has to be ordered?

Another case of no "search function"-idous. What is up with this lately? Online mostly with maybe the exception of the main stores in NYC, but sometimes there are returns and they are around then. If you need XS order that SOB.

I've been really wanting a shawl collar sweatshirt lately and tried that one on a month ago and it wass huge... even with an oxford layered under it it was giganticlly baggy on me. Why do they never make XS in anything good?

Also, I feel like the kids have a better selection of stuff than we do... and I bet even the largest kids size would be too small on the scrawniest of us here.

Are the 501 1966 jeans selvedge? They look like it, and they are in the selvedge section on the website, but when I emailed them to make sure they said they're not.

Then I would guess they are not.

I'm guessing the lady that wrote back doesn't know what she's talking about.

call again and get a different lady and if you get the same answer is a pretty sure thing that is the correct answer but if not then ask to speak to supervisor and splain you got two different answers and then say wtf is going on jack?!

I would agree. Looks selvage to me. Another site with close up for reference and they state selvage. I'm not feeling these though.

 

[Robert]

If it looks like selvage, and it feels like selvage, and it smells like selvage, then... .

Seems like a rather moot point to me.

Then again denim in general and j. crew denim particularly does not do a lot for me.

 

[Bungee Man]

Not really talking about J Crew denim.
