The navy Schoolboy is the one that started my obsession with blazers
I have several and I just ordered two more (another Schoolboy and my first Hacking).
Yes, I was going to get the black wool, but my store only had the turquoise wool so I tried that for size. I'm not sure if it is the cut or the fabric that made it so unflattering. I'm wondering if the heathered wool is any better.
No, it won't matter. It's the material. That dress should be made of a fluid lightweight fabric, like the spotted cat print.

I think I'm going to stop by a store after work and get one because I think it'll be out of stock in my size by the time it makes to sale (plus I want to see if my store has any other items that I might want). I grabbed the heather caramel during the cardholder promo and I have a red one that I got for a steal last year so the navy is the next must-have on my never-ending list.
Thank you cascherping!
This dress looks great on you! I love the pic outside of Chanel!

Yay thanks! Just ordered another tippi sweater, a gingham shirt, and the wool Minnies in Cabernet... Plus some misc stuff like hair clips and laundress cashmere wash. Excited for everything to arrive next week
There are some great J Crew shirts I'd love but I'm not sure about the sizing - I think I'm 00 but I don't want to make a mistake as last year I spent a fortune on returns to the US for pieces that didn't fit, which is why I tend to stick to the same designers.

I ordered the navy yesterday per your recommendation. If you are at all tall I think you'll love the hacking. I have last year's in gray and it is my favorite. I came really close to ordering the green version and still might before the promo is over, I just can't decide if I'd wear the colored one as much (and I am waiting to see the new rollout!!).
I think I will place another order today to stock up on basics like tees and cords.
In my opinion, the wool ones are slightly looser in the leg than the stretch twill, but I take the same size in both. I wore the carbernet Minnies yesterday and am wearing the stretch twill Minnies in boulevard green today!
Have you tried the Professor Jacket before? Do you know how the fit compares to other J.Crew blazers? I am wondering if I should have ordered this one to try in addition to the schoolboy and the hacking (retail, not factory).
