Those of you who tried the honeycomb sweaters do you know if they were like the raph lauren cableknit sweaters? Are they true to size? And when you say it added bulk like was it a lot?!

jordanjordan when you say it was short and wide, was the jumper kind of cropped? or just a funny fit?

i'm thinking about ordering the pine colour one, but as i'm not in the US i don't want to have to return it if it's unsuitable.

Thanks!

I would say shorter than the ralh Lauren sweaters, though it has been years since I've worn one of those. You can chat with CS to get the exact length measurement for your size if you think that would be helpful.

As for fit, I am 5'9" so a lot of sweaters are short on me. The honeycomb is beyond normal "cropped" length though. It is also tight at the bottom band and in the top part and the body puffs out like a marshmallow. I am not sure the sweater would look good on anyone. Maybe on someone very short and thin, but aside from that I can't imagine imagine being flattering. It also had really small arms, which isn't typically an issue for me, and looks weird with the puffy body. The actual knit is really neat and the colors are great, so I was disappointed it didn't work.

Thanks for the information jordanjordan! It sounds like I'll probably give it a miss then which is a shame. Looking like a puffy marshmallow doesn't appeal to me!

That deal is long gone now.

would you be able to show a modeling pic in the jumpset? I'm on the fence.

Thanks

Hope these help. The jacket is very roomy. This is the jumpseat cardigan size small. I'm 5'6 130lbs

does anyone own the Jcrew toggle coat? I love how it looks but I am petite so I'm thinking it might not look great on me.

Thanks for the pics, Mademoiselle R. Looks really nice on you!

Ladies, check your mailboxes, I received a gift from J. Crew - the yearly calender.

So tempted to get the lady day coat, but it wouldn't ship until February (?!).

When I ordered my Hacking Herringbone jacket it also stated it won't ship until February, but apparently it has shipped today! So maybe other items will ship sooner too!?! Just an fyi.

Just got a J.Crew order in the mail today. I really love their Matchstick jeans, as they're one of the only straight leg jeans I've found that look good on me. I have a feeling I will be owning many pairs over the years.

I got mine too!

Is anyone else as annoyed with Madewell as I am? They are always out of stock of stuff online, I never have luck with their locator and the local SAs are so unhelpful. For a Jcrew sister company, their CS seems to be noticeably lesser.

I definitely agree! I also don't think the quality is as good as JCrew, but about the same price maybe a teeny bit cheaper?

Heading off to the store to see what mark-downs they have done.

Looks great on you! Love it! You are such an enabler!
Thank you for the review and posting pictures.
Enjoy your new coat.

Did you find the coat to run large? Thanks!

I had one from an older season and I think the key to a coat like that, especially since it is hooded, is to get it a s,all as you can stand it. If it is oversized at all it will look sloppy.
