What size button down do you normally wear from J Crew? I wear smalls in their button downs but have never tried on one of their sweaters or anything else to compare sizes...I'm around a 38/31/14.5 and am having trouble deciding between the small or medium.

Whoops, accidentally posted in the J Crew SS thread. Just wanted to know if anyone had better pics of the nailhead utility shirt. I can't really tell what the fabric is like, it looks like bleached corduroy.

They ususally always start around 98 but go on sale at a decent rate.

I bought the fair isle sweater and rustico tweed. I'm 39' chest, 31 waist, and 14.5 neck. I also wear a small in botton downs. The small is pretty tight around the neck, and fairly slim throughout the body and arms. I think I could fit a shirt underneath though.

I just picked up the fair isle - been waiting on it for months. Brooks brothers has the perfect fair isle (a bit more traditional), but it is only available as a vest. Ralph will surely have some great ones as well, but at higher price points.

anyone know what the deal is with this navy herringbone sportcoat?

it says its a new arrival but i swear i was looking at it not 3 days after it first went up online and only 2 sizes were available, and today just 1. did this really sell out that fast or what?

edit- looks like the last size just sold out as I was typing this; i've never seen something sell out so fast from them (its been online less than a week). bummer.

Nice looking jacket.

What size are you looking for in the Navy herringbone sportcoat?

I got one as a gift after I had bought one myself so I have an extra 40R if you are interested.

I am returning it this weekend so let me know.

If my memory is correct, the buffalo plaid cardigan sold out quite quickly last year (I think just a few days) but a few pieces did randomly show up during the sale period a few months later. Plus, I would think that they do multiple production runs on many of the items . So, there still may be hope.

Jcrew tracks everything, basically only people who spend a lotttt of money get sent these 20% coupons along with their catalogs. Basically its jcrew trying to get you to spend more money. So if you didn't get a coupon, you don't spend enough.

 

[grundletaint]

is it printed in the catalog or an insert, or what???

There are people who barely spent anything there and have gotten them. I doubt they only give them to big spenders. Shoot, even Ive got one and I barely buy anything there.

its an insert. sometimes its only a coupon that can be used in store sometimes it can only be used online.

I saw a grey J Crew suit in Winners yesterday for $160. Too small for me, but it was cool seeing it there since J Crew isn't available in Canada.

I have gotten 20% coupon in all the catalogs I've received. I have been looking at getting a pair of Alden Indy boots lately and I just had to see if the coupon works for those. Details on the coupon say it does not work for third party merchandise but it works for the Aldens. Now I need to decide If I want to spend the money for the Aldens and the fair isle sweater, 20% off. Still a good chunk of change.
