J.Crew has updated its site with new arrivals for spring (some of which is already in stores). The better items include an affordable parka, a multitude of warm weather shirts, more New Balance sneakers, and an updated selection of Corgi socks.
The highlight for me are these roughout suede chukkas and I’m torn [...]

Some things that you might have missed if you’re not following me on twitter:
* J.Crew has picked up some Seil Marchall bags to add to their growing list of 3rd party products. The Spring/Summer 11 lookbook has also been released.
* Pictures of Victim’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection are now available.
* [...]
Hidden away in the Crewcuts section on jcrew.com are some great and affordable bandanas. They’re made in India, and are fairly soft in comparison to many of my other handkerchiefs. Only time will tell how the fabric holds up in the long run though.
There are also lots of other cool stuff available including [...]

As part of its holiday rollout to stores, J.Crew included a navy shawl collar sweater in a perfect midweight cotton suitable for fall through spring. It’s not available online yet, but can probably be ordered by phone – the style number is 32711 and costs just under $100.

Available at J.Crew in an ‘exclusive’ leather for a small upcharge. If you’re not picky about the color, you can save fifty bucks by just buying the regular versions in dark brown or black directly from Danner.

New arrivals from J.Crew today, in mostly knitwear and smaller gift type stuff. Other highlights are Mackintosh jackets made with fabric from Fox Brothers, a CPO shirt jacket, a black watch sportcoat, and wool throws from Drake’s.
Two absurdities: expensive cashmere socks and the high markup on copies of My Rugged 211 (see [...]

Images from J.Crew’s Spring/Summer 2011 preview hit the web today, and everything looks to be toned down from previous seasons (sort of like minimalistic Free & Easy looks). The standouts for me are the accessories, and I’ll be on the lookout for those new Superior Labor bags next year. The best pictures of [...]

There are a few new things up on jcrew.com today, including this fair isle knit tie. Apparently made here in the U.S.
Other interesting pieces include corduroy shirts and a down parka (maybe a good alternative to one of those Nigel Cabourn parkas, if you don’t want to spend $2k).
Update: There are now some extra [...]
The chamois cloth shirt has been a longtime favorite among outdoorsmen – made from soft sueded cotton (think flannel), they are ideal for layering in cold weather and are about as warm as wool. Just don’t get them wet. Some newer ones for consideration this season:
An LL Bean chamois cloth shirt in the [...]
J.Crew added a few new interesting things to their site last night: a Crescent Down Works jacket, made in the US New Balance 1400 sneakers, and scarves from Drake’s (hopefully they will carry their ties at some point?).
I don’t know what they were thinking with these $350 patchwork chinos of theirs though. They don’t [...]
It’s finally starting to feel like fall in Seattle, and I’ve begun to start rotating in my cold weather clothing. Among my favorite accessories of the season are my vintage inspired J.Crew camp socks, which are made in the USA with heavy cotton and some poly materials for added strength.
I’ve always purchased [...]

I ordered one of these not long after they went on sale online, hoping that it would be decent enough for a budget roll neck to layer with for the season. The fit is the same as their other sweaters, but the wool-jersey blend that they’re using for this is pretty uncomfortable, and not [...]
