It's too bad that one didn't work out for you, but there will always be another one that fits perfectly down the line.<br /><br />Actually I own a bunch of J.Crew coats. Here's <a href="http://dresslikeanengineer.blogspot.com/2014/09/closet-inventory-series-outerwear.html" rel="nofollow">a post I wrote last year</a>, cataloging all of them. I would say that none of the wool coats are *that* warm. The warmest one I own is the cocoon coat, which can maybe go down to 30 degrees (with a sweater underneath) but not much more. It also depends on your personal cold tolerance. I hate being cold, so it's possible to wear that coat in lower temps if you tend to run hotter.Engineer Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469282997983032376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429381541485535750.post-31363465622121020032015-12-02T13:20:11.545-08:002015-12-02T13:20:11.545-08:00I also have two J.Crew chambray shirts that I wear...I also have two J.Crew chambray shirts that I wear all the time.

But I would agree with, the 30% barely makes a dent with J Crew pricing, but this shirt was worth it. Ironically, I also ordered the J Crew plaid you grabbed! I had the same sizing issues but couldn't make that one work so I sent it back. Also have you had J Crew coats before. I'm in Boston so I'm wondering how warm they truly are? <br />http://makingrestorations.blogspot.comMaking Restorationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06894655486351198549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429381541485535750.post-69516542430409841832015-12-01T21:15:27.152-08:002015-12-01T21:15:27.152-08:00Love the plaid shirt picks!

It really is too bad about the Woolrich coat though! It was great quality but just not what I was looking for.<br /><br />You were so smart to order your Bean boots months ago so that you can actually wear them this winter! Oh well, maybe next winter for me...<br /><br />I hate when I'm in between sizes. That happens to me fairly frequently with J.Crew slim fit sweaters, like the old Tippi. I actually wear casual button downs pretty frequently, so that's why I was upset when they discontinued my favorite 100% cotton Perfect shirts!Engineer Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469282997983032376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429381541485535750.post-55205867539343777052015-12-01T08:24:49.444-08:002015-12-01T08:24:49.444-08:00I'm pretty sure it'll pop back!

And hopefully the sizing is right, or else I'll have to reorder!<br /><br />I haven't tried on J.Crew's Sperry Shearwater boots, but I have tried on the Sperry Saltwater ones. Personally I felt like the quality of the Saltwater boots wasn't there, and they're just as expensive if not more so than L.L.Bean.Engineer Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469282997983032376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429381541485535750.post-50052118752106367162015-11-30T20:37:08.542-08:002015-11-30T20:37:08.542-08:00Too bad about the Woolrich coat, but it does sound...Too bad about the Woolrich coat, but it does sound like the J. Crew down coat is a good choice, and you got a pretty good discount too. And yay for having a size option on the L.L. Bean boots, though eep, it is such a long wait to get them.<br /><br />I've only tried the solid-color J. Crew stretch perfect shirts, but they are actually a fairly ideal button-down fit for me, especially when I was in college. After college, the XS was no longer a perfect fit, but the S were a bit big... At least I don't actually have to wear button downs!

They are lined in sheepskin and so they will be brought out when/if it snows around here (Oregon). Anyway, it will be worth the wait! I've always sort of wondered about the Sperry boots that JCrew sells. Have you seen them in real life?Vavahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09403948691359698818noreply@blogger.com
