Oh wow, I love that!
ETA: Is the contrast on the berry jacket navy or black? And PhiPhi, did you happen to try a petite size in the lady jacket as well, or did you only try the 0r?

ahhh, yes..I remember you saying you disliked the gray. I actually just had the chance to try it on. It does run a size too large. I do like it...I have many coats and I actually prefer boxy to fitted for some reason. Here it is on me in green...the color does not photograph well though. I think it's too bright for my wardrobe but I loved it. To be safe I may end up with black or beige.

This looks fantastic on you! Stick with the green--it is so vibrant and unique. This makes me wish I had a need for a winter coat.

hi renza! the contrast is navy - but it's really dark. i didn't try the petite, just the regular - as i don't have a store here, i just e-comm. the 3/4 sleeve helps though. it's not a full sleeve even on a petite. i'll take pictures of it this week.

Photos would be great! :smile1:
I'm disappointed to hear that the contrast is navy, though--black would be much more versatile. Oh well.

Ooh I would love to see your photos... I have trouble visualizing how some of the shorter/boxier jackets fit in real life, and I am dying to get a lady jacket if it looks as good in person as it does online! Especially since there's that 30% code... :D

Thanks!! The jacket looks lovely on her... I may or may not have ordered both the charcoal and the berry because I couldn't decide which was cuter... Sooo glad they seem to have given up on final sale recently!

I also am getting the heavyweight silk bow top -- haven't seen that many reviews of it, but the pictures were so pretty I couldn't resist... And true heavyweight silk is one of my favorite things :)

Looks great! I love a colorful coat for winter. When I am waiting on the train platform or just walking around on a dreary winter day and every other person is in black pants, black coat, black bag, I love standing out in a bright coat. Mine is a poppy red from J. Crew a few years back and I adore it. Take a chance on the green!

Went to check out the JCrew factory store at the Jersey Shore Outlets yesterday. I am sad to say I was very disappointed in the overall quality of their material and prices. I ended up only getting a black sequined tank for $24.
The school boy blazers they had were $139 and very thin and wrinkled.

When your blazer arrives, I would be interested in reading your review on the quality :)

I just got the factory blazer. It's going back. I love the print but its too thin to cost as much as it did. It's just a bit thinner than my retail festival blue schoolboy. If I paid less for it, I'd keep it. Interestingly, the factory blazer has a schoolboy tag on the inside, but I didn't see that anywhere in the description online. Maybe I missed it. The fit and style is very similar to my schoolboy.
