The boy shirt has a really nice cut - I'm wondering if it would work for me too as I really like it!!

Nice purchase!!:smile1:

That shirt did not work for me at all. I was so disappointed because usually those shirts do and I love the color but it was cut differently than they normally are.

Hello ladies!

Can you please tell me how J Crew's cashmere sweaters/cardigans are? How do they hold up and do they have pilling problems?

Thanks in advance!

Quality has gone WAY down. I purchased a sweater last year and it pilled from day one, then got a couple of holes after 2 wears. I promptly returned the worn and the unworn ones. The sweaters I purchased from J Crew in '07/'08 are holding up really well. I'd say, save your money for better brands such as Qi, Vince or Autumn Cashmere.

Does anybody have Tippi sweater in neon azalea or shocking pink? Do they look similar IRL as in the online store? I am wondering if the colors are much more neon-y than in the pictures.. I'm tempted do some sale shopping. :D

I only have the Neon Azalea one, but since final sale has been taken away you can always return the one you don't want.

I've seen some ladies comment on the lessening quality of the cashmere sweaters, any thoughts on the merino wool? I'm loving the classic merino long cardigans but don't want to spend 55 each on sale if they pill and look old immediately? Also, I know they say dry clean only...anyone had any luck handwashing wool instead from them? I hate the chemicals of the cleaners...thanks ladies!!

Their Merino wool is great, holds up really well and pills just a little! I wash mine on delicate cycle with The Laundress cleaner and lay flat to dry.

Any advice on how the herringbone hacking blazer fits? I wear a size 6 in jcrew coats...would I take the same size in the blazer?

Probably. It depends on the coat/blazer. I find the blazers run a smidge smaller than the coats. I am a 00 or a 0 in coats but always a 0 in the blazers. The hacking jacket runs the same as the schoolboy, maybe a little tighter in the arm and shoulder area. It also depends if you want to be able to button it, and how many layers you'll wear under it.

So after exchanging the two and ordering a 0, I would love to know what you ladies think of the Cocoon coat? I am petite (5'2), so I'm not sure if it is just too much volume for me? But I love the style. Constructive criticism appreciated ; )

The color is gorgeous, but I'm not sure whose body would be flattered by that shape. Seems like a trendy runway shape to me.
