As of 7:47 am EST 9/26/2011, the Jazzy Purple in Size 6 is available. Not sure how many. I was able to order the size 8 this morning. Last week, I saw a few size 12s that were stocked.

Looks like I grabbed the last size 8 for now, but the the size 6 is still there until someone grabs it.

The size 8 snagged this morning!

10:22 am 9/26/2011 - Jazzy Purple No.2 in size 6 sold. No more available showing on the website at the moment.

BTW, I contacted J Crew two different times expressing to bring back the Jazzy Purple. I told them I thought it is a wonderful and popular color that folks want online, but no availability. To having this "wool" skirt through the summer doesn't usually trigger people to say I want to have it. Last year at this time the Bright Delilah was available, why not the Jazzy Purple. I think if enough people contact them they will put it back out there more mainstream, and hope that you get it.

What ever happened to the live chat that used to pop up on the website? I was hoping I could get them to do the "we will find it for you" - last time I tried, they would not do it if the item was on sale. But I thought I'd do it again and maybe get lucky this time :D

I am sorry that you missed it. I know you would have loved to have grabbed that one while it was still available. There may be other opportunities. They have to know this is the most popular color according to so much talk and reviews - not sure why they are holding back. I will keep an eye out for you if I see another 6 ok?

does anyone have any fit/sizing info regarding the fisherman sweater? also the poncho hoodie? I am tiny on top- and tend to buy ALL of my clothes oversized (which drives my BFF, DD & SA's insane-but can't seem to stop myself)... i am 5'7" and am small everywhere except for my hips which are curvy in comparison (i admittedly have body dysmorphia) ...have been shopping JCrew for decades, and tend to always order up a size when on line... it is a terrible habit, and tend to not really care when items are super slouchy roomy from JCrew- as i primarily only wear my JCrew items for lounge wear/ around the house and errands/ when i am feeling lazy...however, i have ordered chunkier knit sweaters in the past that are just plain absurdly too large, and i never wear them... strangely, certain styles and knits do not look as obviously ginormous on me when i size up as opposed to certain chunky/ more substantial knits... am on the fence with sizing-on an order i am about to place, and am wanting to wear the fisherman sweaters as "sweatshirts"... and wonder how the fit is? any info is much appreciated.

Depends what you will be wearing under it. If you just want to wear a sweater and one layer, I would probably go with your usual size. If you want to wear lots of layers, go up. I find the arms to be tight on this, but nothing else. Also, I like my coats to be very tailored looking so I always err on the side of too small because I find big coats to look sloppy.

Thank you, I hadn't thought of that...I agree with you, I really like the tailored look as well! I am working in wisconsin right now and traveling back home to Los Angeles from time to time, so I really don't know the fall/winters out here, but they sounds severe, so I might need to layer a bit. Oh goodness...which size to get!! I'm just not sure...

The gates of all things wonderful from J. Crew has opened. My requests have been heard and granted.

Back history: In '08 J. Crew made the most fabulous blazer ever, The Lexington. It came in array of colors, the cut was beautiful, lovely buttons, the contrasting piping made them really stand out and the fabric content was PERFECT! I purchased them in every color - black, grey, yellow, pink, orange and blue (I have issues, don't judge me :D). This became one of the top selling blazers of all time. Over the years blazers have come and gone, but none have come close to The Lexington.

Fast forward Fall '11: I open the catalog and to my delight, The Hacking Blazer has made me smile:

For some reason, I didn't care for the first run of The Hacking, it swallowed me, was really boxy and the fabric seemed hard (Tweed and Herringbone). The fit isn't flattering. However, the next run seems to be a little more fitted, fabric content is much better (Double Serge Wool) and the contrasting piping gives a nice silhouette.

So if you're looking for a nice blazer this season and for seasons to come, this would be it!
