Aaron Levine from Club Monaco to Abercrombie would have been a good choice

Aaron's done a great job at Abercrombie.
Wouldn't be surprised if they threw more $ to keep him on.

as far as overcoats/jackets go

double vs single breast? feel like single looks a lot better ...

 

[Nawzlew]

Where do y’all cop regular crew neck tees?

All my basic tees are a mix of Uniqlo and Amazon's Goodthreads line.

 

[max powers]

This is the worst of all videos to try and i.d. shoes in, but these are Adidas yung-1's right? When he's in the blue jacket and dancing for clarity.

I buy some blazers on sale from J Crew every once in a while, but to me, their problem is that 90% of their clothes look like Goodwill or 60 year old man attire. It also doesn't help that a lot of their "slim" clothes are not slim AT ALL in the torso

Forget 60, what person under the age of 80 have you seen wear clothes like these?

 

[juice man]

My closet was full of J.Crew 2 years ago. I feel what you’re saying but was always told I pulled it off well. Got asked at work often where I shopped plus friends.

I’ve since moved on due to quality issues.

 

[shogun]

Ordered 2 blazers from them during cyber Monday. The wool herringbone blazer is really nice. Have a pair of garment dyed 484 stretch jeans and they’re awesome.

Their denim and denim jackets suck though. Way overpriced for jeans that are very flimsy and don’t seem durable.

 

[$tatus $ymbol]

I personally would wear that tartan but I feel you. Let’s not even talk about the fit of their clothes. Beyond laughable

 

[kickn-since89]

any cheaper alternatives to this?

Looks like a plain anorak / rain jacket. Saw similar stuff on Nordstrom and Nordstrom rack.

This. All of this.

I think J. Crew about to go belly up.

Inevitable, Gap not far behind as well.

Their business models were too closely tied to retail presence and add-ons in store. This combined with growing inequality creates less demand for mid market clothing.

Poor people go to H&M, Old Navy etc.........Rich folks dropping 500 on off white tees.

 

[m boiz]

Not true at all. I know millionaires who don't even spend $100 a t shirt.

 

[Nawzlew]

Old Navy etc........

i feel personally attacked.

i like their pants

 

[shogun]

Does the texture of old navy clothes still feel like sandpaper? I do like their activewear.

Surprised gap hasn’t tried to be more like uniqlo. gap jeans fit horrible, waist is always too big and their slim pants aren’t really slim.

Has carhartt always been that expensive? Couldve sworn they used to be in Walmart

can't wait

Carhartt WIP is the more slim fitting, skate stylish branch. Regular Carhartt work clothes are pretty cheap and durable

 

[ninjatoes]

i copped two flannel shifts and a wool sweater from j crew's online factory shop last year that have been good to me. the fits on their slim oxfords were disappointing though. the arms were far from slim so i had to get them tailored. it's a shame how hit/miss they've become.

Wouldn't be surprised if JCrew went out of business. It is ridiculously overpriced for what it is, and I suspect the LTV of their customers is fairly low since most of the fashion dorks that get into JCrew quickly realize there's far better brands out there for the money and stop shopping there as result.

And plenty of people with $ shop at places like H&M, Uniqlo, etc. I do OK for myself and I refuse to spend over $80 on a t-shirt, so most of my basics come from H&M (which I dispose of after a couple of wears). I'll never understand the logic of paying $300+ for a tshirt.

Not trying to brag or anything but ive spent more than a stack on shoes and on coats, 600 plus on trousers. I can never get myself to spend more than $100 on a t shirt. Its just such a waste.
