but the deal posted today, 25% off, isn't a black friday deal...

Since I'm a J Crew-aholic, I have faith that the deals will be good, especially after talking with my SA!!! I already have my items picked out:yahoo:

Thanks for the heads up DC!!!

I also believe JC does the biggest discounting after X-Mas so I think I'm going to wait until Dec 26th for my next JC haul...

Oh no! Thank you for letting me know! I have the Lady Day Coat and thought it was the same material? No?

The Coletta and Lady Day are the same fabric. I have 5 or 6 coats made of out the double cloth and really love it due to its crisp feel and weight. Also, they wear really well for me. On the other hand, I don't like the more lofty fabrics like the cashmere/wool blend and the stadium cloth. The Coletta is a pretty coat and I think the feel of the fabric is just a matter of personal preferrence.

I agree it's personal preference, because I love the stadium cloth and really don't like the double cloth.

Needanotherbag -- Just a heads up: I ordered the Coletta coat and returned it because I hated the material -- it felt cheap and kind of waxy almost. I'm a HUGE J.Crew fan and I normally think their clothing is well-made, especially for the price, but the coat just wasn't great. I'd pass on this one.

same here. i just find their outerwear to be beyond sub par, especially the double cloth and stadium cloth. they are OK but not fit for keeping you warm.

Thanks for sharing this! I love the fabric of the Lady Day and was hoping the Coletta was the same, so am happy to hear this. I agree, it wears well and is crisp and dare I say formal. I have the Cashmere Wool Blend Trench, and while I do like it, I'm scared its going to pill, so I dont wear it as often as I want to.

Ok, so what color to get? I'm leaning towards the Olive, but can be swayed. Even those that dont like the fabric, which color should I get?

I love the olive but I also like the purple color. I think if you are going to be wearing it with a lot of black and dressier ensembles I'd go with purple, if you want to be able to dress it down more, olive... but I don't think you can go wrong with either. I recently got the stadium elements coat in the fatigue green color and I LOVE it. Non-traditional coat colors really make an outfit so much more interesting!

ITA! I love to wear a pop of color in a coat, especially if I'm wearing something pretty plain underneath! I'm really leaning towards the Olive...
