Call J. Crew customer service. That have that info at their fingertips.

 

[andychen]

yeah, right, I forgot they have the info. Thank you!

I remember you said you got some size S tailored fit repp polo, how do they fit on you? My chest is only 35" and I feel they are a little tight, and if they thrink, I may not be able to wear them.

 

[Robert]

Nope, not me. I got mine in L. I'm 6'1" and about 185, about 42-43 in the chest. The Large tailored repp fits me perfectly.

Trust the measurements you get from J. Crew when deciding your size. I find that in almost everything I wear by J. Crew, my measurements fall into the range that they consider Large and every item in their L fits me very well.

I will probably purchase it soon, but thought I'd ask to see if anyone can speak on them before I do? Gracias.

EDIT: And what is this "red card" again?

In their catalog, they also list a size as "urban slim" which is supposed to be slimmer than "classic" cut. I don't know if it's on their website but it may be worth giving them a call about.

The Red Card is a 25% off card sent by J Crew, 25% off anything in store for the month of April. It comes with a nice little letter signed by Mickey.

I also bought a pair of the urban slim fit chinos, and I agree that they are too big in the thighs. I will probably take them to a tailor to see if he can fix them.

Does anyone know if the Rugby university chinos are as slim as the urban slim fit chinos at J. Crew?

 

[andychen]

sorry, my mistake.

Do they shrink much using cold water wash and low heat drying? Thanks

they're slimmer. in general, rugby makes nicer stuff than the other mall brands.

How do you get a red card? Do you have to sign up for a J Crew credit card?

They randomly sent them to people who have shopped with them in the past and they consider to be among "their best customers"...no need to have a j. crew card, although it can't hurt. I spent a few hundred there last year, have a j. crew card, and I did not receive one.

I have posted pictures and measurements in this thread. I don't have any complaints about the thighs, but the seat is a bit too generous. Then again, I have no ass. Measurments for size 30: Leg opening: 7.25 Waist: 15.5 Rise: 10.5

those are the urabn slim fit chinos tho? we are talking about something different

 

[mulansauce]

I thought people were talking about the slim-fit. There is the giant fit, the regular fit, the classic fit, and the slim-fit. The ones I'm wearing there are the "urban" slim-fit. I have also tried on the slim-fit lightweight and the fit seemed similiar if not quite identical to the urban variety. Is there yet another species of slim-fit out there?

 

[raginberriodoom]

mulansauce, what jacket are you wearing?

Yeah, they're talking about the light-slim, which is what Teger ordered, I'm pretty sure. Were they really the same? Doesn't seem to make sense...based on the J Crew site pictures they don't seem as slim and I guess the closure is different? Also I think the urban slim-fits are not "classified" as "light weight" or whatever, who knows if any of that "means anything".
