J Crew F/W 09 Sneak Peek

MIX-MATCH

I like what J Crew is up to. and don't front. We've all been in there-been for a minute. I enjoy a pinstripe with a solid grey.. Very "Morning Suit for taking a stroll to the bank". Theyre teaching guys it doesnt have to be precious.. Loro Piana fabrics! Thomas Mason shirtings! i mean this is the stuff royalty has their clothes made of but they offer it to the general public with no seals of the queen or anything.. These are the shirtings Turnbull and Thom Browne use! Alden Indy Boot for J Crew! Russell Moccasins, I dont think anyone in nyc carries them! Looks like they've been in the woods roughed up up a bit before they hit the store. Store, not stores, not everywhere, 1 shop in NYC.. A new style Red Wing boot. Interesting with spery sole! This showroom always has the best vintage belts (and buckles)! i like that they dont mix in too much vintage, when you see a super vintage looking sweatshirt, they have found a way to make it look genuinely old without making it look mass produced; yet affordable. If you have not heard of Inverallan- check them. I love old fishermans sweaters but again, hard to find because they last forever..Inverallan has been working with (and doesnt tell you on their website)the likes of Neighborhood and Beams in Japan.. Another great mature non-precious move for the crew..

These shorts might be my favorite item after the cardigan which ill never be able to buy. Id cut them off, to look like old safari shorts. large belt loops..

Nice stuff; love the buttons on that cardigan. I wish J.Crew had stuck with Harris Tweed for more than one season.

This stuff is really really good. I might have to save up for the Indy Boots.

I've been over at J.Crew a few times in the past two weeks (we're building the sets for the upcoming presentations) and have had the painfully enjoyable experience of getting a look at Men's. Really love the Russell and Alden presence. The tab collar flannels, the Millerain outerwear...some really great looks.
Nice to see this post. Love the site.

Nice, I love J. Crew for men and women, such classics....

wait, $200 for the alden indy? are you sure about that price?!?

Posted by: earl | April 17, 2009 at 11:50 AM

Would love a confirm or deny per the Alden Indy boot pricing at 200 clams. Thanks!

Posted by: Dave | April 21, 2009 at 01:57 AM

Any confirmation on cost of the INDY Boot? Are they standard or is that a darker color?

Posted by: Mike | May 23, 2009 at 03:14 PM

I can't imagine that the Aldens would only be $200. That seems awfully cheap for a pair of Alden 405s. You can't even get a USED pair of Aldens for that price!

Posted by: Dan | August 06, 2009 at 02:24 PM

Apparently they are only on sale in two stores, both in NYC, and the price is $450.

hi! when are they going to release the fall/winter wedding catalog? thanks!

Where is the Inverallan available? I'm not sure what their distribution policy is, but I didn't see it in SF a couple weeks ago.
