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).

No, I haven't tried it on. I ordered it for the sole purpose of comparing it with the hacking and schoolboy.

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.

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!

Thanks for the size info! I'm wearing my black stretch twill ones today and it looks like the cabernet wool ones will be joining them in my closet shortly!

So I went in for the navy Schoolboy and came out with the pearl grey (actually because of awful SA's, I ordered it on my phone from the dressing room). The grey has a nice subtle pattern on it that I didn't notice online. I thought it felt nicer and more substantial than the navy as well. The navy was also slightly bigger. I fell in love with the grey but still need a new navy blazer so I'll wait and see if it goes on sale and grab it then.

The store visit was also super disappointing. Had not been to the store in ages so I tried on some stuff I saw online. Peter Pan collared blouse was a sheer mess on me. Loved the burgundy color but it was so sheer and the XS was too big on me. The elephant bracelet (which I lusted after since seeing it online) looked neon-ish in person so that was a no-go. Also tried on a Jules dress which was too short and too boxy and a cotton popover which was not flattering. Saw the hen sweater and now really want the version with the dog on the front that I've only seen pictures of online.

I'm thinking about placing another order tonight since I'm really wanting the wool cabernet Minnies but will need to order something else to get the discount and free shipping. I'm open to ideas/suggestions if anyone has any...

I want to order the lady day coat but not sure what size!

I'm generally a 0 or xs in all my tops and coats. I'm 4"11.5 and 115lbs.

Thinking of ordering the 0P and 2P. Any feedback?

I find that the lady day runs tts for most jcrew stuff, which I would say means it runs on par with the blazers and a little smaller than some of the coats. In recent years I've been a 00 in some coats (majesty peacoat for instance), but would take a 0 (my blazer size) in the lady day.

Jist got my first sale order in! Navy schoolboy is amazing, as expected. I also got the silk pin tuck blouse in green. It is one of their best tips in a while. I can usually wear a 00 or 0 in their silk tops depending on cut. I ordered this in a 0 and its too small. The shoulders are tight, the cuffs too tight and short, and overall a bit short. Once I return it ill prob reorder a 2 because its really lovely and versatile. I think it will be great with jeans or under the new schoolboy blazer!

I ordered the cocoon coat too but it still hasn't shipped. I think it's going to be either a love or a hate/-there is no in between on something like that.

My two new blazers arrived. The light blue Schoolboy with gold buttons is amazing. The Hacking Jacket (my first) is a perfect fit, but the color is different than I expected. It looked more like a lavender/light purple, but it's actually a grape-ish purple. Not my favorite, but it's fine and overall, I'm happy with it.

What does everyone think of the silk colorblock cami in black/white? I love the colorblock style but it´s the actual cami I´m not sure about, is it just me or does it have a pajama feel about it?

I like the black/white colorway, but it does seem like the sort of top you would need to layer. But if you wear something over it, you will hide the colorblocking.

What about this colorblock top? It's wool instead but I think it looks really nice and not at all like pajamas.
