I have a J crew gingham shirt as well thats L Tall and fits me kinda loose now, but when I was bulking (highest weight 250) it still fit really good.

That's about the same size as me, I got an XL in the trench and am now regretting it (should have gotten the L).

At least I got it cheap so I could get the tailoring I had to do to make it fit acceptably.

Hi guys,

If anybody has any jcrew coupons or credit they want to sell at a discount please let me know. I wanted to buy the MacAlister suede boots and they seem a little overpriced at full retail.

Thanks,

It's still hard for me to wrap my head around someone over 6 feet tall being able to wear a small long sleeve shirt from JCrew, but I guess it's possible. What size dress shirts do you wear? I need a 36/37 for my arms.

+1

Their collab shoes seem ok but the 'house brand' shoes aren't so great.

 

[palma]

nvm

I disagree. I've had Clark's before and just bought the Anchor Grey MacAlister suede boots and IMO the MacAlister are much better quality and provide better comfort.

I think that's the first time I've seen someone post that, the typical opinion is that Clarks are a far better shoe.

To each their own I suppose.

Don't get me wrong, I think Clarks are great, which is why I bought them in the first place. I just like the MacAlister's better. Not as rigid.

6'6" and 6' is a huge difference. I'm about 6'1 and the sleeves on a small fit me fine. My dress shirt size is 15 or 15.5 and 33 or 34, which is several inches shorter than 36/37.

1) Which color herringbone jacket is this? 2) Is the color accurate? The photos of the jackets without the model look different.

 

[Ideefixee]

It's charcoal.

Don't know about the color accuracy, but that all has to do with how close-up the picture is. The closer you get, the more heterogenous the color gets. From far away, the color looks solid.

Those jackets aren't herringbone. That bottom one looks like a wool pinstripe. Hell, its not even the same shade of grey.

... They are herringbone. He posted 2 different jackets, both J.Crew. The bigger image is the 2nd smaller image, but closer up. The 1st smaller image is the Khaki herringbone...
