I hope the smaller size works for you. It is really pretty in the brighter colors.
And I think this is a surprisingly nice shape. I had a cheap cocoon coat from Gap last year, and I got so many compliments every time I wore it.
This blogger reviewed the coat: http://ajcshoppinnghabit.blogspot.com/2012/10/jcrew-stadium-cloth-cocoon-coat-review.html
Store are doing an additional 25% off of sale. I picked up the no.2 pencil skirt in multicolor tweed for $49.99 and got the additional 25% off on top of that.
I originally went in to do a return, which turned into an exchange. I had ordered the schoolboy blazer in pearl grey when they were doing the 25% off orders over $150 last week after seeing a grey schoolboy in the store. It turns out that the grey schoolboy I saw in the store was the wool herringbone schoolboy (I've only seen the pink and blue online). I thought it was the pearl grey wool because I had never seen a grey wool herringbone schoolboy online. When I went in to return the pearl grey wool schoolboy blazer and told them about my mistake, they were nice enough to apply the 25% off to the grey wool herringbone one I was purchasing.

Thanks, I ended up ordering the Schoolboy in 0r and the Hacking in 2p.
I like the hacking better but it feels tighter in the armholes and it's very heavyweight for L.A.

I think that the fall 2012 schoolboy (in navy at least) feels heavier than the navy schoolboy I tried on in store that said spring or summer 2012 on the tag. Anyone else notice this or am I imagining things? The hacking is a better fit IMO, but both are great jackets.
This was the first schoolboy blazer I have ordered (in grey flannel) so I'm not sure how it measures up to past seasons. The left sleeve lining actually was made too long and loose, so it pokes out a little at the cuff.
I'm returning it for sure. I think I'm keeping the Hacking Jacket. I've wanted one since last year. I'm sure it will get cool enough at night and even with the air conditioning at work to wear it. 
Question for you J.Crew experts--does the Black Pencil Skirt in Super 120s ever get marked down? I just ordered one with the 25% off promotion because I have the Aubrey suit jacket with no matching bottoms, but I don't really need a full suit for the next year, most likely. At $88, is it worth keeping anyways?
It usually gets marked down when the spring/summer Super 120s hit the floor. But usually, by that time the sizing options are limited.
However, I purchased the factory versions(called lightweight wool) and surprisingly, I like it much better than the retail version. It's also cheaper
Other crew news: I got a little bird in my ear telling me that a warehouse sale will be happening soon in Arden, NC. Sometime in November. I'll keep you posted when I get the actual date.
Thank you. I need a 4p so I'm guessing that size would sell out before sale time. Does the Factory lightweight wool match the retail Super 120s? The only reason I would stick with the retail version is if the factory lightweight wool is a different shade of black.It usually gets marked down when the spring/summer Super 120s hit the floor. But usually, by that time the sizing options are limited.
