Did anyone get the Dec 2013 catalogue. Lol at the jeweled llama sweater.

For the ladies who have purses from Jcrew, they have been holding up well? So they are good buys in your opinion?

Does anyone have the continental zip wallet? http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Navigation.../03820.jsp?isSaleItem=false&isFromSearch=true

Any reviews?

Got the leather jodhpur Pixie's. Love. Got them a size up, I'm a little more mature and didn't want them too tight, hope they don't stretch too much. I wash my non leather one's in the machine on hand wash cycle but I guess I can't do this with these. Does anyone have them and had them cleaned yet? Wonder if it's going to be a pain?

Hi Saira,

I finally got around to buying my wife another one of the Double Serge Heather Graphite skirts http://www.jcrew.com/womens_feature/NewArrivals/dresses/PRD~03216/03216.jsp. I had already bought this for her in a size 10 regular and tall (for the added length), but when she wore the regular pencil skirt with a pair of her taller black leather knee high heel dress boots (shown below), while still looking good coming down to the tops (as the skirt is 23 1/2 inches), I thought about trying her it with the 21 1/2 to go with the boots. Per your recommendation, I went on ahead with ordering her a size 12 Petite so that the fit should be the same in the waiste, but for a few inches shorter on the skirt. If it works well for her, I will buy her a black double serge one too like this. Thank you for the advice. It arrives today, so should give an indication of how well this will look. Thank you!

I've never purchased heels from JCrew, but I have my eye on the Etta and Everlys that are on sale right now. If I'm a 6.5 in the Cece flats, would I be a 6 or 6.5 in the satin or suede Etta or Everlys? TIA!

I went up a half size with both and the fit was great.. J Crew heels used to run more TTS IMO but more recent styles run smaller for me. The Ettas are TDF. I ordered calf hair versions in both styles. The Ettas were TDF, I chose those over the Everly style.

Definitely. My husband can be very critical if he feels I'm dressing too young and he likes these pants a lot. And I'm even older than you! With the right top and accessories, classic not too trendy, they look very nice.

For those who own Minnie pants-how tight did you buy them? I have heard they stretch out quite a bit, however I'm looking to wear these in a business casual environment and I don't want them to be TOO skintight.

(Ignore the length-this is the regular version and I ordered the Tall).

I'm normally a 6 in JCrew pants and a 4/6 in their skirts. The 4 was a bit loose in the waist (I'm pear shaped though, so that is not uncommon) so they suggested I go with the 2 (which is what I'm wearing in the photos). I ended up ordering a Tall 2 and then added on the Tall 4 just in case. You definitely see every lump and bump in my legs in the 2-especially the lump on the back of my thigh and the outline of my knee.

These are also the wool version-not sure if that makes a difference in sagging compared to the twill version.

Does Pixie sizing run similar to Minnie? I'm thinking of getting the leather tuxedo stripe or leather front Pixie online.

In the past I've taken my actual size in Minnie and size up one in Pixxie. This year the material in both pants feels a little different to me. I use to love the Minnie and not so on the Pixxie, this year it's just the opposite, I love the Pixxie and find the Minnie a little off fit wise, I would def size down in the Minnie. I bought the leather jodhpur Pixxie and reg Pixxie and sized up in both, I hope I'm not sorry. I have hand washed my Pixxie's in the past but don't think I would do it with the way the material feels this year and def not with the leather one's.

If I'm a small in the excursion vest, would I be the same size in the factory version? I thought I'd wait until they went on sale at the end of the season (prices for Australia are insane!) but now they're all sold out! So now I'm not sure if I should resort to gouged prices on eBay or hold my breath and hope they are released again next year....any ideas?

I'm wondering the same thing.
Can anyone tell me if the factory stores will do phone/mail orders? My local factory stores are sold out.

Yes, I believe the factories will.

Thank you! I called around and there are no herringbone vests to be found.:nogood::crybaby::pout: My son's SO wants one really bad, so I broke down and paid eBay prices. It will be a huge surprise for her. :smile1:I bought the J Crew.com excursion vest in pink flamingo for myself(this color is so much better IRL), and I don't see a difference in quality compared to the factory herringbone vest.
The newer excursion vests have one way zipper vs two zipper pulls. I think I like the two zip style.
